SANTA FE BUYS.
Secures the Eureka and Eel
River Railroad.

San Francisco. March 14.-FuH con-
hrmation of the reported sale of the
Eureka and Eel River railroad, the Cali
fornia Northern and the extension of the
former, known as the Midland road, to
the Santa F'e company, has been obtain
ed from an authoritative source.
Captain A. H. Payson. assistant to
President Ripley. stated that the story
of the purchase is true, but he would
not discuss the report that his COM
pany is after the California & North
western railroad further than to suggest
that the requirement of the latter pro-
perty would not be surprising as piece
of news.
Parties acting for the Santa Fe
road" said Captain Payson, have Sc
cured these small northern roads and in
time the title to them will be transferT-
ed to our company. It is also true that
surveys are being made for further
extension of the Eureka and Feel River
road and the Midland in southerly di-
rection, which means that eventually
the Santa Fe will have rail connection
from San Francisco bay to Eureka and
possibly farther NORTH

HAS A LIMIT
But the Power of Pure Food Is Sci
dom Exhausted.

There is of course a limit to the clrra-
tive abilities even of pure food but it is
a fact that this seldom is reached.
There are cases of disease so deep root
ed that they will never be cured.
It is nevertheless a profound fact that
the pure food Grape Nuts, the most
scientific food in the world, has effected
marvellous results in cases where medi-
cal science has given up the sufferer
and it seemed there was no hope. Vet
Grams of the Civil War are not young
SterS any more (it is nearly 40 years
since ApDonattcx) and when the i'll
health comes to one of the old soldiers
he has not the assistance of youth to
help him pull through But scientific
feeding can actually rebuild old bodies
and generally build them well. An old
soldier who now lives at Boise, Idaho,
says:
I am an old soldier. I have suffered
greatly from heart trouble, hypertropny
and aneurisrn. In addition to this I
had terrible indigestion which caused
smothering and choking spells and I
have also been partially paralyzed in
the left shoulder and right side While
at a friends house one time tried
GTape-Nuts as breakfast dish and
liked it so well that I continued to use
it
Here is the result and it seems mar
velous: I have almost recovered the
use of my parlayzed shoulder and arm
and my right side is greatly improved
my digestion is almost as good as ever
and I have not had a snothering or
choking spell since I used the food I
sleep peacefully without nervous starts
I do not tire so easily. my hand is firm
and less tremulous and the spells Of
faintness once very bad have ceased
entirely Food cannot cure what can
not be cured of course but this I know
that Csrape-Nuts has brought me rest
and freedom from pain and deliverance
from the terrible smothering spells
I use two to four teaspoonfuls at
a meal with milk. little sugar and
raw egg. I think a great deal depends
upon the regularity with which the
food is eaten" Name furnished by

THAT FISH HATCHERY.
Governor Bailey Says He Hasn't Lo-
Gated It.

1t has been reported that Governor
Bailey has located the state fish hatch
cry at Pratt, but the governor says this
is an error. He has not yet considered
the location.
The report probably grew out of the
fact that Pratt wants the hatchery and
the governor will appoint a Pratt man,
Del Travis. as fish warden. 1t is quite
possible that Pratt may get the hatch
cry, but it has not been settled.
The state fish hatchery law provides
that the town that gets the hatchery
must give the state no less han five
acres for it, and an appropriation of 81
600 is made to build the hatchery
Il viii locate the hatchery at what
I believe to be the best location for it, -

Homicidal Burglar Secures New
Trial on a Fine Point.


New York. March IFS a burglar
who attempts to escape when discov-
cred in an attempt to break into a
house, and kills when opposed by
force at some distance from the scene
OF the attempted burglary, guilty Of
murder? This question has been raised
by Judge William J. GaynOr of the SUI
preme court, in Brooklyn, in an opin-
ion which he handed down with a de-
cision to the effect that Duncan Young,
convicted of having killed George Eber-
hard in this city several years ago, was
entitled to a certificate of reasonable
doubt and new trial. Young was tried
before Judge Foster last November,
convicted of murder in the second de-
gree and sentenced to twenty years in
prison. Judge Foster charged the jury
to return a verdict of murder or Of
acQuittal. He refused to charge with
request of YOung's lawyer that the jury
might find the defendant guilty of
manslaughter.
when the way defendant was being
hunted as already described, is con-
sidered,' says Judge Gaynor and that
he was being fired at, from the yard
below, while the deceased was striking
a him with stick from above. and he
may have been in peril of being knock
ed off the fire escape and shot. it is diff
fcult to see how the trial judge has the
right to decide as a matter of law that
he may not have had intent to kill; and
such intent was a necessary element Of
murder unless the defendant was with
in subdivision of the section of the
penal code which describes murder in
the first degree en- gaged in the commits
sion, or an attempt to commit felony .
Judge Foster charged that Young
was SO engaged ifsthe Identification by
the witnesses was sound and he was
attempting to enter the house for the
purpose Of robbery when discovered
But he was not at the time of the
homicide SO engaged" Judge Gaynor
says. 'On The con1Ear he. had desist-
ed and was a coAsfdera bic distance
