IARTIN DWYRR MISSING.
The Mysterious Disappearance Of q Ranch
man Of Grant County.

Martin Dwyer, q wealthy ranchman
Of Allison, Grant county is mysteriously
missing from home and neither his rela-
tives nor the authorities have been able
to discover his whereabouts.
Dwyer left Allison for Ell Paso three
weeks ago. He had $1,000 on his per-
son which he intended to deposit In the
First National bank at Ell Paso. He
never called at the bank nor has he
since been seen. When he left Allison
he took his favorite child with him and

he has not met with foul play, but has
simply left the country. His wife and
one child are still in New Mexico. He
came from New York six years ago.

Chicago Ill., Dec. 1S,-The pro-
position that Czolgosz. Presi-
dent Mckinley's assassin, was insane
when he committed the deed was vigor
ously upheld and as vigorously denied
at a spirited meeting OF the Socio-
Legal Forum at the Sherman House
last night,
The paper giving rise to the discus
sion was read by DIR. Sanderson
Christison. chairman OF the executive
committee OF the association. and bore
the somewhat perplexing title, "Epi-
lepsy. Responsibility and the Czol-
sosz Case" The speakers conclusions
were that the assassin was a lunatic
that he was not an anarchist and that
there was considerable reason to sup
pose he was an epileptic. Combating
the opinions of all the Buffalo medical
men who examined CZolgosz with
great care and patience. the ideas of
the attorneys, both for the state and
the prisoner. and the Investigations
made by United States secret service
officers. the police of many cities and
the newspapers throughout the cOun-
try. DIR. Christison emphasized his be-
lief that the assassin had no connec-
tion whatever with anarchists, and
that his act was the Impulse of q
mailman. He added the startling state
ments: AS TAR as I know the chic

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Grow few varieties Of fruit. but grow

4 good surface harrow to keep the
orchard mellow and clean is Of benefit
The matted row way of raising
stra wberries is often called the lazy
mans system.
Thorough surface cultivation Will
prevent the growth Of red raspberries
between the rows.
With the young orchard thorough till
age should be given all through the
early part of the growing season. Then
mulch well before hot, dry weather
sets In.
Pear trees require rather less space
than any other fruit trees. Few OF
them are OF a spreading habit. the ma
jority Of them growing In a pyramidal
form. Still, 1t Is not best to allow them
to grow too tall Cut out the tops.
The drain Of continual cropping Is
never noticed so particularly In an or
chnrd until harvest time. The trees put
forth blossoms. and the fruit that fol
lows seems all right, but when the
fruit ripens too many culls are found.

Was Czolgosz Insane?
Theory Of a Learned Doctor

of police of Cleveland and myself are
the only two persons who ever investi-
gated the murderer's alleged connec-
tion with anarchists. He called Czol-
gsoz an aggravated specimen of the
insane borderland' and "a degenerate of
a mystic temperament
The argument brought forward to
show that the assassin was an epileptic
VISA based on the report that at ono
time during the progress of his trial
CZolgosZ was seen to have a twitch-

and again. few moments bfore H.
was electrocutpd" After an interpola~
ton at this point by Dr. f. p Muir

might have gone a little further and
made material for his argument out
of the twitchings after the electri
current was turned on, DR. Christi
