Sick Sheep Can't Come.

The supreme court has handed
down decision affirming the lower
court in the case of State of Idaho,
respondent, vs.. J. T. Kellar,
appellant, from Oneida county,
Hon. ]. G. Rich, judge; L. r.
Rogers and d. G. McDougall for
appellant and the attorney general
and Geo. L. Gray for respondent.
In the lower court the defendant
was fined $500 for violating the
Idaho quarantine law in driving
band OF 1000 sheep into the state
from Box Elder county, Utah, in
defiance of Governor Hunts
proclamation forbidding the same
as sheep there were infected with
scab. The appellant was convicted
principally upon his own statement
to one of the witnesses, but the
court holds this sufficient if there
were slight corroborating facts, the
syllabus saying: "The fact that
a crime has been committed cannot
be proved by the extra judicial con-
fessions or statments of the prison
er alone; there must be introduced
some evidence or corroborating
circumstances tending to show that
the crime has been committed in
addition to such confessions OF
statements. Slight corroborating
facts are sufficient The defend.
ant also claimed there was no Grim
inal intent shown and that he and
others in case in the circuit court
of the United States for Idaho had
secured an injunction against sheel
Inspector Lowe, Of Idaho, from
interfering and assuming to ex
anime said sheep. (This injunc
ton was afterwards dimissed, tn
circuit court holding it had n
authority in the matter.) Th
court says Of this defense: 'Wich
ed or willful intent to violate th
criminal law is not an essentis
ingredient in each criminal offense
And that is so in statutory offens<
when the statute does not make ii
intent in which an act is done a
ingredient of the crime. The rul

near the Crown mine on Govern
ment creek about December 10.
Their bodies were recovered and

Payne was q mail carrier and
Branham was ia the employ Of H.
H. Hunter, WHO is working the
Crown properties. Payne was not
familiar with the, trail, and Bran
ham left the campi,with him intend
ing to pilot him to the summit.
Branham, as he was leaving, told
several Of thej men that he would
be back in time for supper. His
non-arrival at that time caused no
uneasiness and little was thought
of the matter until morning.
Finding that he did not come in,
a search party started out and soon
found that the two men had been
caught in slide near the Crown
mine. The whole force of men
turned out and after searching for
three days found the bodies. A
messenger was Immediately dis

COVERED MILE RACE TRACK
UNIQUE COURSE IN ITS WAY.
Jewett Track at East Aurora Fur
nishes Indoor Exercise for
Horses.

\ Chicago, Dec. 6.-Few things in the world
are absolutely unique but this term ap-
R,es precisely to the Jswett covered trot-
ting track at East Aurora. which Is one
mile long.
The covered track IS situated on q 400
acre farm about two miles west of East
Aurora. Henry c. Jewett built the track
in 1887. when he was heavily interested in
the breeding business. OF course, his idea
was to provide a place where the colts
colld be worked in winter as well as in
summer. ,
and incloseS about seventy acres. The stTuc-
turc Is of wood, 80 feet wide. with gable
root. The height of the building is about
Is feet. AT intervals OF every eight or ten
feet on each side are large windows.
The interior Is whitewashed ard the foot
ing is of tanbark. aifording an ideal sur
face for fast. trottirE and pacing. When IN
use the track IS narrowed every day. Civ
ing the required elasticity. Tie building is
well ventilated.
There are two stands on the track-one at
the head Of each of the stretches. These
are cornmodious and heated bv natural gas.
Separated from the track proper by win
dows. d fine place for an owner to watch
the horses at their work is afforded.
Two large barns are directly connected
with the track by CO yered runv:avs. Each
of these contains box stalls for 100 horses.
with ample room for sulkies, carts and the
like.
Locating at Jewett's as snow begins TO
