The trial of the Hay-Cowan case re
stunned promptly at 9o'clock this morn
ing. A dilatory motion offered by the
defense was overruleG.
The opening statement for the
plaintiff was read by Attorney Myers,
who first read the complaint and
which was followed by the reading of
the answer by Attorney Stiff.
Senator Myers stated that the plain
tiff expected to prove that John A.
Hay, the plaintiff and Eva Martin
were married Oct, "a. 1887 and lived
happily together until 1899 when the
wife began to show signs of discon-
tent. That in in 1899 she went to
Cincinnati with Cowan and others in
opposition to the objection Of Mr. Hay.
On her return her affection for plain
tiff seemed to have waned. Mr..
Cowan frequently visited their home.
In 1900 she left Hay without his con-
sent and returned to the home of her
parents. Hay supposing Cowan was
his friend consulted him and Cowan
offered to act as mediator. Cowan re-
ported that Mrs. Hay was obdurate
and advised Hay to leave the country
for year. Hay finally concluded to
go to Cape Nome and gave it out that
he would be gone year. He maze
ample arrangements for the support
of his family during his absence. He
fell sick some five months later and
returned To Corvallis ou;%e eurex,ac+od
ly to Mrs. Hay and MIR. Cowan. Dur
ing Hays absence the plaintiff ex-
poets to prove that Cowan was very
attentive to Mrs. Hay visiting her at
all hours of the day and at night.

to leave the country and never come
back. He did this repeatedly and Of
fered to supply the means, alway as
suming to be friend of Hay. Hay
was very sick and had to go to the
hospital in Missoula where he under
went serious operation. His wife
| was notified but refused to come to see
him. Hay survived and returned to
Corvallis where he again fell i'll and
his life was despaired of. Mr.. Cowan

HAY VERSUS COWAN
NOW ON TRIAL
JURY SECURED WITHOUT MUCH
DIFFICULTY.
SENATOR MYERS OPENING STATEMENT
Promises to Be Highly Sensational
CaSe-Other Court Business
Of The Week.

The damage suit of John A. Hay VS.
James H. Cowan, both of Corvallis,
was called promptly at 1870 O'Clock
yesterday. In this suit the plaintiff
seeks to recover 500, 200 for the alleged
alienation of his former wifes affec-
ton.
Mrs. Hay, nee Eva Martin, is a very
prepossessing young woman about 80
years of age and was born and reared
at Corvallis. At Is she married Mr..
Hay, then wealthy sheepman of the
east side. That was in 1888. One
child, a boy 10 years old, is the issue
of this marriage. Several years ago
an estrangement ensued and the
couple separated several times, it all
eliminating in divorce about two
years ago.
Mr.. Cowan, the defendant, is 70
years old and reputed very wealthy.
He came to Montana, landing first at
Bannock with the first settlers. He
has resided in the Bitter Root valley
for more than IS years. There are
two counts in the damage suit, each
for $4,000. Mr.. Cowan's wealth is
estimated as high as $25O,OO In any
event, should Hay win his suit the
Judgment will be as good as gold. Mrs.
Hay of late has conducted millinery
establishment in Missoula.
When the case was called all parties
were present. Both plaintiff and de-
fendant were tlanked by a formidable
array of counsel. The plaintiff, Mr..
Hay, is represented by O'Hara &
Myers, Woody & Woody of Missoula,
and James M. Simpson of Spokane.
The defense is being conducted by c.
M. Crutchfeld and Marshall & Stiff
of Missoula.

THEY HUNT FOR PARCELS.

Men and Women Who Make Money By
Finding Things Others Lose.
THAT is parcel hunter" said a
floor walker in one of the big stores.
He nodded his head toward a woman
wedging her way along the crowded
aisle, scanning the floor assiduously as
she went.
They are an odd class" he explain
ed. With the advent OF the gift-buy-
Ing season come a small army of peo-
pie who make an annual practice of
searching the big stores and streets
for parcels and money that are drop
ped by shoppers. Pedestrians also
have hobby OF looking for things.
and motormen have long followed the
practice in the business districts.
You would hardly believe it. but
eight out Of every 100 women who 20
shopping lose something In the way
of money or valuabIes before they get
home, says the Philadelphia Press.
"A number of the parcels turn up
at the lost and found counters of the
various stores, but the vast majority
of things dropped are never accounted
for. The things picked up range from
a kid glove to a well-flled pocketbook.
Oftentimes costly packages of silks and
furs are found.
The mOtorman is often rewarded by
profitable finds. He knows by expe-
rience that women getting on and off
the cars with packages in their hands
are more or less agitated. That's when
they drop things. Every day at the
car barns you can hear the motormen
talk of their finds as they come in
from their trips"
A talk with a motorman at the Ridge
avenue car barn revealed the truth OF
the floor walkers assertion. He said:
There are even more things found
in the street than on the sidewalk.
Money and parcels dropped in The
street are likely to remain undisturbed
longer than II dropped on the side
walks. So the motorman has the field
practically TO himself. The biggest lind
ever made was a pocketbook con-
tanning SIS. The owners name was in
K. and when returned it he gave me
80 cents. Another time / found a
diamond breastpin at Tenth and Arch
streets which / sold 70. $12."

The Day of Small Farms.

Except in the far West the tendency
IS toward the small farms. and it is
certainly a step in the right direction
IN the East the majority of farms
are under 100 acre.. and in many sec
tons more money is being made from
thirty acres than 100 Particularly is
this the case where farms are located
near cities or large towns. This same
state Of affairs win gradually come
about in the West as the population
Increases. Ii one has large numbers
Of cows and horses. so that there is an
abundance of fertilizer. and plenty of
help TO handle crops which can be sold
at a profit. there is doubtless profit in
The large farm. but where it comes to
the choice between using the fertilizer
for nifty acres, common sense teaches
us that it would be best 10 prt the fer

Planting Corn.

Planting corn in drills and in hills is
practieed, and each method has its
strong supporters. The experiment
stations, however, find no difference in
yield in favor of either method, so this
leaves the farmer free to do the thing
that suits him best. Shallow covering
Of seed is especially advantage rs dur
ing the early spring while the ground
is cool. Later, deep planting may be
followed with good termination. Al
most every corn grower recommends
planting the seed in furrow, whether
1t he the hills or in drills. IL fresh
furrow is opened and the seed buried
in it, termination is quickened. Then
at the first cultivation the fine earth is
sifted around the stalks that grow a
little below the surface of the seed bed.
The distance between stalks or the
number of grains to be placed in a hill
depends upon the variety of corn to be
grown and upon the fertility of the
land. If small variety of corn is
planted it will grow more stalky to
maturity than VIII a large variety.
Again, IL the ground is rich 1t will pro
duce a greater number of stalks than
will an equal area Of land almost ex.
hausted of is fertility. If the farmer
will be sure TO thin his corn, thick
planting followed by thinning is not
only the safest plan TO get a good
stand, but by proper thinning the
stalks are distributed much more even
ly over the area. If, however, there is
danger of neglecting the thinning ont
of unnecessary stalks, then do not
plant more than the ground will bear.
If ears are the chief aim plant in drills
from eighteen to twenty-five inches
apart, or three stalks in a hill three
and half feet apart. If fodder and
corn both are wanted, plant in drills
twelve to fourteen inches apart, and
four stalks In the hill.

Alloy of Nickel, Iron and Platinum
Has Peculiar Property.
1t is everyday knowledge that bodies
expand as they become hotter. which
an embryo scientist once thought
would account for the extra length OF
the days in summer. but 1t has lately
been discovered that nickelSteel, when
the component metals are mixed In GER
tain proportions. has the peculiar prop
erty Of not altering in its measurements
as its temperature changes. Expert
ments have been made at the bureau
des Poids ct Measures. at Breteuil, near
Paris, for some years past. and IN 1897
it was found that an alloy of thirty
six parts of nickel with sixty-for of
iron has rate of expansion about me-
tenth that Of platinum, and SINE then
it has been found possible 10 ma he an
alloy whose expansion is insensible
The advantage of such a substance for
making standard measures is obvious;
in fact, it's production has rendered
possible new method OF geodesy CALI
ed the Jaderin. in which long nickel
steel wire takes the place of the COM
paratively short measuring bars for
merly used. Efficient clock pendulums
and balances for chronometers are
made of this substance, and it has been
pointed out that metal which can
be made of the same expansibility as
glass is eminently suitable for many
Industrial purposes. especially some
connected with electric lighting.
