HARRIS TRIAL
BEGAN TODAY.

The trial of Joe Harris, charged
with the killing of Charles R. Seiber,
was on in the district court this morn
ing before Judge Theron Stevens.
The trial promises to be a notable
one and men have gathered from
all parts of the county to listen to the
evidence and hear the arguments of
the distinguished attorneys engaged
ON both sides.
The court room this morning when
court convened was crowded with
friends of the late Mr.. Seiber and of
Joe Harris, who though charged with
a capital offense seems to have some
friends to stand by him in the hour
of trial.
The court evidently expects long
drawn out case, as he had ordered the
table for the counsel to be turned to-
ward the jury, instead Of facing him,
as it usually does.
For the prosecution there is lined
up at one end of the table, District
Attorney Samuel G. McMullin, his
assistant Guy V. Sternburg, Samuel
n Wheeler and Hon. Herschel M.
Hogg, of Telluride, one of the fore
most lawyers of the western part of
the state and recognized as very
able prosecutor. He for several years
was district attorney for this district
and was a terror to evil doers.
l,o ofn 9TH
end of the table is Attorney ]. S.
Carnahan and his partner Col. Sloan,
Hon. FRANK @. Goudy, who was CAN
didate two years ago for governor on
the republican ticket and who is one
of the leading attorneys of Arapahoe
county and man who if Wolcott
should ever leave the field as sena-
| torial candidate. would be close to
the top of the heap.
Back of the counsel for the defense
sits Joe Harris. grim and silent. Nc
lines of care seem to have settled on
his face, owing to the terrible charge
| under which he rests. He is swarthy
in complexion, as straight as an Ind
ian and has rather an intelligent face.
1t is said he is very fond of reading
and is familiar with the modern au-
thors and writers. He is dressed in
a light coat, made short and dark
ktrousers. He is more than medium
in height. He wears moustache,
but no beard.
The eyes of nearly everybody in
the court seem to settle at some time
or another on Harris and he is studied
from every point of vantage.
District Attorney McMullin opened
the case this morning and made his
statement to the court of the crime
and what was expected to prove. He
named over the witnesses for the
state and they included nearly all the
cowboys who were in the employ OF
the Seiber cattle company, many OF
whom witnessed the shooting Among
| the number were Ex-Sheriff Wallis,
Jud Deacon. Roy Dunning, James
Jones, Orin Gavin and Emory
Knowles.
The defendants principal attorney
James S. Carnahan after the state
ment of the prosecution waived 8
tsatement for the defense. The selec
tion of jury then began.
This will be doubtless a very tedi
Gus operation. q Every possible point
which might Nisqualify a juror ii
asked him by counsel. both for the
prosecution and defense. The answers
thereto are sometimes serious and a
other times funny and again ridicu-
lous.
At noon, when court adjourned thu
jury had not then been secuerd.

Bones For Bread.

There is al interesting childs story
called "Jack the Giant Killer" in
which one of the giants is supposed to
use the expression ''fe-faw-fum," or
something like it, when Jack has climb
ed a beanstalk and been hidden by the
giants wife, the rest of the growl be-
ing, II smell the blood of an English
man, but be he alive or be he dead I'll
take his bones to make my bread"
Possibly it has not occurred to many
to ask where the idea of making bread
out of bones originated, as we do not
often seriously investigate fairy tales.
1t is a historical fact that during the
siege of Paris by Henry ", owing to
famine, bread, which had been sold
while any remained for more than 81
a pound, was made from the bones in
the charnel house of the Holy limo
cents. This occurred in 1594.-New
York Press.

WoIsey's Household.

En- Cardinal Wolseys palace no less
than $50 beds were provided for stran-
gers, with superb canopies and curtains
of silk or velvet. There were bed
steads of alabaster, quilts Of down and
pllloWcaSeS embroidered with silk and
gold. The chairs of state were covered
with cloth of gold; the tables and cab
lnets were OF the most costly woods.
Much of the splendid furniture was
emblazoned with my lords arms"
Everywhere was impressed the car
dlnaIs hat. The same magnificence ap-
peared in the decorations and orna-
ments of the chapel, but the forty-four
gorgeous copes OF one suit and the rest
OF the sacerdotal pomp displayed there
were eclipsed by the majesty of VOL
sey'S secular equipment.
The annual expenses of his household
exceeded 100000, an immense sum for
those days. His retinue of 500 persons,
his kingly stud, his sumptuous open
table, are mentioned in every history.
When he rode to and from Westmin-
ster in his character of lord chancellor,
his mule was attended by Il long train
OF mobiles and knights on horseback;
his pursuivant, ushers and other Off
GERS led the way in rich liveries, while
footmen with gilded poleaxes brought

The Mississippi 100000 Years Ago


Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition of the great Mis-
sissippi river 10000, 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion of it's bed was &C.
complished by a mighty cataract,
which began far down the river, prob
ably at the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re-
progression dug out the valleylike
gorge through which it now flows.
That this theory is tenable may be in
ferred from the high, wall-like bluffs,
features so characteristic of the upper
part of it's course.
A wearing away Of monster cata-
ract would of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs on either side
These are the we'll known features Of
the father of meandering streams. 1t
would seem, according to this theory,
that st. Anthony's falls constitute the
remnant Of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the world. Ge-
OlogiSts estimate that it has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which it now
flows.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY
Man Who Testified in the Kanl<akee In.
sane Asylum Investigation Placed
Behind the Bars.

Kankakee, Ills, Aug. 12.-Arrested
at a. m, charged with perjury, was
what happened to Harry H. Ball of
Chicago, one of the witnesses who tes-
titled here before the state board Of
charities in the investigation of the
management of the state asylum of the
insane.
Ball, who was former attendant
and nurse at the hospital, had made a
sworn charge that he had seen Trus-
tee w. e. Murphy staggering drunk
from whisky taken in the drug room
Of the administration building one
night after midnight, and that on an
other occasion the same trustee had
gone to a bedroom with a nurse late
at night, causing the night clerk to
awaken the nurse for the purpose
The charge. which was dramatically
made by Ball. at the investigation, was
Immediately contradicted under oath
in every particular by Trustee Muir
ply, who was cOrrObOrated by teSti-
mony of Night Clerk William CrOXen
and another witness to the effect that
Murphy had never been in the asylum
at night during the time mentioned,
and the arrest followed.
Ball is at present an emplOye of the
Chicago City railway. His alleged mo.
tive for the false testimony charged
was a desire to be revenged for his
suspension from the hospital for fight
ing, the suspension having been made
by the asylum board of trustees of
whom Trustee Murphy is one.

Napoleon III. and His Cigarettes.

The most obstinate of cigarette
smokers was the Emperor Napoleon
III. 1t is an error to suppose that he
was ambitious. A fatalist, he fol
lowed a plan which he imagined had
been traced in advance. At Seda-c,
when the end came, he calmly lit a
cigarette. 'Hugo's epic anger against
him had a large element of irritation
at the mans supreme calmness. Hugo
was not a cigarette smoker. He never
understood, he could not understand,
him. lola, who was cigarette
smoker and who ceased in order that
he might become a great workman,
understood and described Napoleon
III. in La Debacle" perfectly.

Professor G. B. Lane of New Jersey
told at farmers institute at the Mas
SachuSettS Agricultural college of two
cows that were fed for sixty days with
daily ration of thirty pounds of ensi-
lage, five pounds mixed hay, four
pounds wheat bran, four pounds dried
grain and two pounds linseed meal.
This had 20.91 pounds of Cry or water
free matter, of which there were 2.34
pounds of digestible protein, &c pounds
fat, 1886 pounds of carbohydrates, or
a nutritive ratio Of one part protein to
5.3 of other nutritive matter. They
produced 2.701.7 pounds of milk and
butter fat equal to 131.O4 pounds of
butter.
For the same period two other COWS
were fed upon twelve pounds of corn
slower, eight pounds of mixed hay and
four pounds of cornmeal, which con-
tanned 20.95 pounds of dry matter, one
pound Of protein, 33 pounds Of fat, 1877
pounds of carbohydrates, a nutritive
ratio of one part protein to 1876 of 9TH
er matter. They produced 3,O142
pounds of milk, with butter fat equal
to 94.33 pounds of butter, or 6S75
pounds of milk and 36.71 pounds of
butter less than the two COWS that
were well fed.
Salt Prevents BIoatfnx.
Mr.. Simon of Rice county, Mimi,
says that he let's cattle 60 on to his

longer has any bloating among them.
His remedy, or preventive rather, is
salt where the cattle can get at it at will.
He used to notice that cattle would
leave clover field and go to the barn
yard, where they knew salt could be
found, and when they did so they did
not bioat. He has since placed rock
salt near or in clover or rape pastures,
letting the cattle know where il is, and
since that he has had no case of bloat-
ing, though cattle have been turned in
to such pastures when they were wet.
He says his neighbors have adopted
the same plan and with the same re-
suits. This is a good thing to remem
