Special to Times Republican.

over to the grand jury by Magistrate
Johnson this morning in the sum of
500, the charge against him being
assault with Il deadly weapon. S. Du-

century and half later than the.
Homeric, gives precept upon precept to
farmer and mariner and teaches them
how to observe the seasons at a period
when almanacs We're as yet unknown:
"When the Pleiades, daughters of At
las, rise, begin your harvest; when
they set, your blowing. When after
the winter solstice Zeus has fulfilled
sixty days of winter (then it is that
Arcturus. having left the sacred stream
of Ocean, rises in the twilight brightly
bcaming, prune your vines. When
Sirius parches head and knees and the
body is dried up by reason of heat,
then sit in the shade and drink. When
Orion and Sirius have reached mid
heaven and rosy fingered dawn be-
holds Arcturus, then gather and carry
home your grape clusters. When, fly
ing the impetuous might of Orion, the
Pleiades sink into the misty deep, then
range blasts of wind, haul ashore your
ship and cover her around with stones"

his effort was to reach the open space
beyond, and at last, bleeding horse and
man, he swayed into the clear ground

Not one had followed. He was alone.
The women he had rescued were gone
too. He stared about as IL dazed, while

from deep cut in the neck of his
horse. The animals knees began to
totter. and presently it sank to the
ground.
Slater fell with it. The troops rushed
forward, but when they came to him
he was dead, with the red blade still

horse. But shall 1t therefore be said
