Much Of the evidence relied on by the
state as showing the defendants guilt is
what is known in the law as circumstan.
tial evidence. 1t will be proper for the
court to instruct you as to the nature
and character of such evidence, and of
its value in the ascertainment of truth.
Circumstantial evidence is that class
of evidence wherein the principal fact in
issue is to be inferred, or deduced from
other facts proven. 1t is thus called
because it is composed of circumstances,
or related facts, connected in some man
ner with the ultimate fact to be deter
mined.
Circumstantial evidence is legal evil
dence, and is not to be discredited mere.
~ as such. Its value, and, indeed, it's
necessity in the ascertainment ofstruth
is unquestioned. Nothing in the nature
of circumstantial evidence renders it
less valuable than other evidence In.
deed, it has been said that in, many
cases q verdict on circumstantial evi.
dence alone is more satisfactory, as be-
ing a true and just verdict, than one
founded on direct evidence: For wit
nesses may falsify, but circumstances
cannot. Men may commit perjury, but
a fact cannot. Persons accused ,haye
been sometimes enormously convicted
upon circumstantial evidence. But 80
have they been upon direct testimony.
That such, in either case has been true

A DELICATE OPERATION
Drs. LUX. land Hanson Operate on
the Leg of Rex Graham for
Necrosis of Bone.

! This mpInft2 very delicate operation
III surgery was performed by DR.. II. R.
Bull, assisted by DR.. Knude Hanson, up
on the leg OF Rex Graham, clerk in the
Mesa County bank. The disease oper-
ated for is known in surgery as oste-
omyelitis, disease OF the marrow Of the
bone. The bone operated on was the
femur, the longest and strongest bone OF
the body which extends from the thigh
to the knee pan. The disease had pro-
duced necrosis OF the femur.
About six months ago Mr.. Graham
in Denver. At that time a goodly por-
ton OF the dead part OF the bone was
removed for about two thirds OF the dis
tance down from the thigh. Since that
time, although the wound made in the
operation has been kept open 30 that the
bone could be permitted to heal, after
the decayiug matter had run of, it has
grown further down the bone and this
morning the operation comprehended
the other third portion OF the bone, al
most to the knee pan.
The operation is one Of the most deli
cate in surgery and the patient was
placed under an anaesthetio during the
operation which took several hours.
DR.. Bull and DR.. Hanson are very
hopeful for their patient, although a
disease OF the bone is probably one Of
the most difficult OF diseases to subdue.
Mr.. Graham has been one OF the trusted
employees of the Mesa County bank, in a
clerical capacity for number OF years.
He is very anxious that the operation be
success 80 that he may again have full
and free use of his leg. He has been a
sufferer for long time and the physi-
clans say that he passed through the
operation Nth Spartan courage.
The many friends of the young man
and his parents in this city hope for his
and their sake that the operation may
result entirely successful.

 It is really too bad that His Majesty of Er gland should be offended at the atten- ticn paid him by the press, and by the fac. that all his movements are watched. A man of his experience ard resource should be able to abate a nuisance. and at the same time do a lot of amusing chuckling. If he would only observe the methods of some of the sovereign Ameri- can voters who visit his dominions he would learn a trick worth more than all the laws against lese majeste enforced b yhis irritable nephew. the Kaiser Let him learn from them how to use press agent, and 1t will not be long until the bare mention of his name will be enough to throw a whole press association into an Ggue of terror. Let him not only fur nish the papers with full advance notices of all his movements, but also insist that they be publls d, and at the same time keep shedding typewriter interviews with himeelf, full of spontaneous opinions on all kinds of subjects of which he Is ignorant, and I will guarantee that in a very few weeks even the most hardened newspaper man in his kingdom will wear a hunted look, and if he happens to come on a group of them unawares, they will go through doors and windows without the formality of opening them It is the fact that he makes his doings and think ings hard to get at that makes every par agraph about them so valuable.

Half an hour the chase was kept up and 'therei was the widest kind of ex- citement in camp. The squaws were sharpening their knives and rolling up their sleeves. The medicine men swere chanting glad tiding to the Greta Spirit for the success of the chasers. Then. after every one of the herd had been laid low upon the grassy plains, the young men, with laurels upon their shoulders, came riding back in a long column. Med- icine Bull, the bravest and best shot of all, came at the head. They sang:
 We killed the buffalo cows. We are bravei Our arrow-guns shot we'll to the rmarlx.s Now we will have great feast An, ya. el
 After the squaws had skinned and dressed the beef the medicine men went forth and invoked the blessing of the Great Spirit. This done. the Indians rush. ed to the caroasses and ate their fill. Some devoured their meat raw, while the others took pains to toast 1t over a small fire built upon the open plain. What was left of the 100 steers the sGuaws stored away in the tepees and the dance began. For hours they danced and prayed, tainted away, and made trips to see their. dead friends Then the meat was brought forth again and placed in huge kettles. They danced around 1t as 1t boiled. Now followed a second feast. It was nearly daybreak when the warriors sank to sleep, having eaten pounds and pounds of meat that day. It was great day of thanks for them and the same thing Is to be repeated this year, and 1t will also follow on ail the other reserva- tions of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. William R.

THANKSGIVING
 AMONG THE INDIANS.
} < 4 < < < 4 < 4 < < 4 4 \ 4 .

Reservation Indians of the Southwest have taken to observing Thanksgiving Day, until now it is a common occur renee for them to take part in the, good cheer that comes all over the country on that day. To make the day more cheerful the redskins hold off their regular beef issues and annuity payments until that day, when they all join in one huge celebration. One might travel through an Indian reservation in Okla homa on Thanksgiving Day and not find one-fifth of the tepees occupied all are away at the feasting-place. Com ing upon these celebrations one Is aston ished at the interest taken. To the red skin, who generally takes everything calmly, the excitement manifest at a beef issue or q grass payment on these days is intense-even as great as at their ghost and war dnaces.
 Very seldom of late have there been allowed any beef issues to take place on the reservations of the Southwest, and these events, when they do occur, come on Thanksgiving Day. It Is by fitting arrangement that the head men of the tribes have agreed upon this one day of all others when they celebrate their feasts. I attended a beef issue on Thanksgiving Day last year. 1t was given by the Ponca Indians on their re- SerVdIOn. f1uHuTeuS Ol udnCeu and made merry. The medicine men held sessions behind closed tepee doors, and the squaws raced with each other in their glee. Even the papooses cooed and sang their songs with much brighter faces. All was happy in the camp of the Poncas, The day had dawned brightly. Yellow autumn was every where. The squaws lowered about the fires and lay upon the sweetgrass telling stories of the ola times that had passed. It had been a year since the Indian agent had consented to a beef issue. The issue is a savage fete, something like the Mexican bull fight-except that the h. dian eats his prey. The beast is given no chance whatever.
 When the agent rode out among the rows of tepees he gave permission for immediate chase upon the herds then grazing on a not far distant hillside Then a wild. weird chanting rang through the camp. Suddenly from the lodges burst forth the young men. They were clad in gay trappings and their faces were covered with paint. Each carried a long, shining field-gun. To the stranger this aggregation would have presented the appearance of a regiment of savages going into battle. Off to the herd they dashed. Soon the crack of the gun, the snorting and bel lowing of the wild cattle, and the fierce shouting of the warriors told that the chase was on. It sounded much like a battle in progress.

The members of the Building Commit tee of the, Standard Club, Montgomerys g leading Hebrew social organization, ex- press the hope that on October 1st, next, one of the handsomest club houses in the South will be ready at the north
 west corner of Montgomery and Moulton Streets for occupancy by the club.
 It will be remembered that the Stand
 ard Club about year ago purchased
 the lot and residence of Capt. J. H. Clisby. The lot fronts 102 feet on Moul-
 ton Street and runs back 2O4 feet on Montgomery Street. There Is a comfort
 able residence on the lot but 1t will be razed to make room for clubhouse,
 costing between 1000 and S5o.Oo0, to be built by the Standard Club.
 Several weeks ago the Standard Club
 appointed committee of seven members to be known as the Building Committee, to have charge of the proposed new building and to report progress to the the Club consisted of the following: Alex Rice, Nathan Lobman, Moses Sabel, 3. Roman. M. Kahn, J. Nachman and Jacques Loeb. Mir. Rice Is President of the Club and Messrs. LoRman and Sabel represent the Board of Directors. The other members of the committee were se- lected from the membership at large.
 The Building Committee has had sev- erat meetings and 1t was finally deter-. mined to send a subcommittee to Mobile and New Orleans for the purpose of look ing over the leading cluhhouses in those cities with view to advising with an architect to be employed to draw plans of the proposed building. Messrs. Rice, Lobman and Sabel were selected as this subcommittee and they spent several days in Mobile and New Orleans during the past week. returning to Montgomery Thursday.
 In Mobile the committee was shown many courtesies. The Montgomerians went through the, splendid Fidelia Club recently completed for the Hebrew cIti- zens of the Gulf City. It Is an imposing three-story structure made of Roman brick and stone. with a roof garden. It occupies a corner of Conception and Gpvernmeft Street, Mobile's7 famous residence thoroughfare. The Montgom- cry committee was also shown over the building now in course of construction social organizations of Mobile. It is building on St. Francis Street, adjacent to the Hotel Bienville, and will be a combination of attractive architecture and home comfort. The committee was in Mobile Monday and Tuesday.
 New Orleans was reached by the sub- committee of the Standard Club Tues- day evening and the Montgomerians were taken In charge by Crescent City friends who showed them about the city, Visits were paid to thes lcelebrated-s PiolSwick named is perhaps the finest club house South of the Ohio River. 1t has B splen- did location on St. Charles Avenue and being constructed of Italian marble conn mands the attention of every visitor to the city.

casionally recommended the observance of a day of thanksgiving, such as that 11 ts. tsyden gss iS.s. of that city from siege.
 For many years after the first Ply mouth Thanksgiving the day was ob- served in America only at irregular in- tervals, and for special reasons. Among the famous early observances was that of 1923. In July of that year day of fasting and prayer was appointed during the prayer, the Governor pro- claimed a day of thanksgiving. which was observed with religious exercises. The arriv a.1 from In Ssl1 Ireland town into hanksgivtng in similar way. In 1esz Governor Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony recom- of the action of the privy council favor able to the colonies. Many other special obseryances might be noted, but 1t was not until 1880 that the appointment of thanksgiving day became an annual cus- tom. The later of these appear to have been more nearly related to the New England Thanksgiving Day of after years harvest. During the Revolution day. of tbanksgfvingA was annually recommended by Congress and in 17S4 there was a gen. eral thanksgiving for the peace, but af- ment until 17S9, when Washington recom- mended day of thanksgiving for the adoption of the Constitution.
 In 1795 and 1915, Thanksgiving days were appointed by proclamation of the Presi- dent, the first by Washington for the suppression of insurrection, and the oth- CT by Madison, for peace, but for many years the observance remained largely New England custom. Annual procfama- tions were issued by eight Governors of Southern States. As an annual national institution Thanksgiving Day dates back only to the civil war. when in 1882 and 1863, President Lincoln issued proclama- tions recommending special thanksgiving for victory, and in 1863 and 1864 a nation
