DISCHARGED.
Magistrate at Examining Trial
Decides lie Acted in Self
Defense.
The Case Against Sheriff Holland
For Killing Hardy Keys Closed
Yesterday at Murray.

The examining trial of L. w.
Holland, sheriff of Galloway county,
for killing Mr.. Hardy Keys at Muir
ray on Friday night, February 6,
was condlHded yesterday and the
accused discharged from custody
on the grounds of self-defense by
Magistrate Swan, before whom the
examining trial was held.
On the night of February 6, Sher-
if Holland and several others were
in law Office in Murray discussing
politics, and hearing some one step
up to the front of the building and
stop, Holland went to the door and
discovered Mr.. Keys, whom he. ac-
cused of housekeeping and invited
him inside. Keys resented the ac-
cusation of eavesdropping by call
ing Holland liar and the affray
which ended Keys life began.
Holland states that KEYS after de-
nouncing him started toward him
and that he heard the click of a
knife as if being opened, and i'm
mediately drew his revolver and
fred twice, both bullets taking eff.
feet in Keys body and from the eff
fects Of which he died in a few
moments. A knife was found near
the place where Keys fell. The
friends Of the dead man claim that
Keys had no knife or that the knife
found near by was nor his, and
that he made no hostile demonstra-
ton towards Holland.
Both men stood high in Galloway
county and each have many friends.
Hon. w. Nj. Reed, of this city, and
S. H. Grassland, Of May6eld, were
employed by the Keys family to as
sist the county attorney IN prose
cutting the case, while Holland was
defended by Messrs. Linn, Coleman
and Wells, of Murray. The county
Judge was objected to by the de-
tense and the examining trial was
held before Magistrate Swan, be-
ginning last Thursday. The TAX
ing of the evidence consumed three
days and yesterday morning the
speaking began and speeches were
made by Messrs. Wells, Reed, Linn,
Grassland, Coleman and county at
torney. After which the magis-
trate rendered his decision dis

THE SIGN LANGUAGE.
Is Extensively Used by the Lower
Orders of Life.

Is Extensively Used by the Lower
Orders of Life.
'The sign language, once forming
such an extensive part of the human
vocabulary, and still used with much
profit, is not unknown to lower orders
of life" said man who takes much
interest in matters Of this sort, ac-
eording to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, "and l have had occasion
in my time to observe some rather inn
pressive instances. Some of the signs
are understandable. Many of them
are plain as the words of human
speech, as, for instance, the sapsuck-
ers love call, the rabbits drumming,
the head gesture which accompanies
the cluck of the old hen when she is
trying to attract the attention Of her
brood TO a bit of food she has uncov-
cred in the soil. But there are many
mysterious and altogether inexplica-
BILE things to be found in this strange
realm of signs. Every sign means
something. We may be sure of that.
1t is part and parcel of speech. 1t
conveys a meaning definite enough
to the creatures in the particular or
der Of life. But there are so many
signs which are not followed by re-
suits which throw light on their
meaning, that the field becomes one
for interesting speculative inquiry.
What does the duck mean, for in
stance, when simply bobbing the head
up and down? 1t is not confined to
one sex. brakes and hens resort to
the same form of speech. Ihaves seen
them go through this motion in per-
feet silence, and when the motion of
the head would not be followed by
any other activity, or by sound Of any
sort. They just nod to each other.
1t may be simply friendly sort of
greeting, a nod Of reinsurance that
all is quiet on the Potomac, and that
there is no fox or other dangerous in
truder anywhere around. Or it may
be firtive sort of speech, the ducks
way Of smiling and goo-gooing. I
don't know how this is. 1 simply
know that it happens. Itmay be, of
course, that this movement of the
head and neck is physically neces-
sary, like the habit Of yawning, OF the
unconscious movement of the limbs
Of human beings. But ducks yawn
and stretch very much after the fash
ion of the human kind. Still the
movement to which 1 have referred
may result from a similar motive. I
would like to know. Can any man
tell me what a duck means by simply
nodding to one or more Of his com
panions?"

How Travers Asked His Friend to
Lend Him Money.


Travers-I want to ask you ques-
ton. Suppose that five years from
now I should be walking in hestreets
clothed literally in rags, wearing a
battered old hat, and shoes full of
holes, would you think enough Of me
then to take me by the hand, buy me
a new outfit, give me a bath, and put
five pounds in my hand, and send me
away with your blessing?
Dasher-Why, of course 1 would
How absurd!
Travers-Then bring the scene a
little nearer. Suppose that in four
years from now you should meet me
as have described myself, with this
exception-that 1 had a good hat.
Would you still do the square thing?
Dasher-Why, certainly! What
Travers-Make it still nearer
Call it three years and say I didn't
need bath. Throw off the blessing
and make it two years.
Dasher (facetiously)-Make it
year, with a good pair Of shoes, eh?
substitute a new suit and-(a great
light dawning onhim)-Oh-
Travers-And if you are a man of
your word, let me have five pounds.
