ter County, Indiana, He Was Kicked
ON the Head by a Colt.

HAMILTON. O.. July LIN the Knapp
murder trial to-day Police Officer Charles
Morton testified to the vain search for the
box Knapp said he had thrown away at

not proved. Judge Belden overruled the mo-
tion and the defense began. The chief de-
fense is insanity.
Knapp's mother, Mrs. Susan Knapp, was
called first. Her testimony strongly tended
to prove that Knapp was insane as a re-
suit Of injuries received in youth. The moth
said that a colt had kicked him in the
head when he was six years old at their
home in Porter county, Indiana. He was
unconscious for days, and always there
after he complained of pain in his head.
Later Knapp fell out of a NOW and again
injured his head. Brain fever followed this
accident. He was struck on the head by a
baseball bat at Moline, ILL.,, and again se-
riously hurt. The mother said she regarded
Knapp as insane after these accidents. Once
he went away and said he was in San Fran
cisco. His condition became so noticeable
that the boys called him ,Looney" Knapp.
He wrote a play and tried to make his sis
ter wear wings and impersonate an angel
This afternoon Mrs. Knapp detailed her
sons actions about the time OF the alleged
murder. relating numerous wild assertions
and acts tending to show insanity In reply
to a direct question by Lawyer Darby she
said that she thought Alfred was insane.

THE day was when men of promi- A hence hesitated to give their testi- moninls to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one he's ltates to see his name in print recom- mending Peruna.
 The highest men in our nation have given Peruna strong endorsement. Men representing all classes and sta lions are equally represented.
 A dignified representative of the Pres byterian church in the person of Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church.
 Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby- terian church of Greensboro, Ga, writes
 "Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth.
 "My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with ca tarrh of the lower bowels. Other reme- dies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en- tirely disappeared. For this special

COLUMBIA AND VICINITY.

c. F. Champie. of Columbia. is wei come visitor to Prescott. MT. Champie feels encouraged over the advent of the railroad into his section of country. as it will give quite a stimulus to the mi ming industry and he and his neighbors are interested in mines which look good to all who see them. Tn railroad will be built within fourteen miles of Columbia and if the board of super visors will build fourteen miles of wa gon road into the Columbia section much of the trade which has hereto fore gone south beyond the bounds of Yavapai will come to Prescott. Most of the road would pass through pine timber. MT. Champie has resided in that section since 1886 and has done 5000 feet of development work on group of claims of excellent mineral showing, 2000 feet of this work has been done upon one claim. The pay streak in the mine is 20 inches wide and the ore carries about S16 per ton gold. About 50 per cent of the ore is free milling and the balance a cyanid- ing concentrating proposition. A good deal of the ore has been run through the Rockwell Gold companys mill with most satisfactory results.-Prescott , Courier

A CALLER AT THE WHITE HOUSE

The first crank to make his appear
 ance at the White House since the re-
 turn of the president went to the ex-
 ecutive office Monday. One of the door,
 keepers quickly came to the conclusion
 that the man was muddy" in secret
 service parlsnce. and turned him over
 in an adroit manner to a secret service
 officer. The officer soon found the
 mans story. ''I want to see the presi-
 dent to have the names of people
 changed" the man confidently in
 formed the secret service officer, and
 the president must issue an order to do
 this at once. I came here all the way from Chicago to see that this thing is done properly. Just look at the way people are named Here are men in the undertaking business bearing all kinds of names. Every man in that business should be named Coffin. Ev- cry man in the wood business should be named Wood. All the grocers ought to be named Butter or Lard or called by the name of goods sold in their stores. Here are dry goods dealers bearing all kinds of good names, when | they ought to bear the names of l Thread Buttons, Cambric. Calico and ! such other things. It is a shame the way this thing is done now. The wrong naming of people leads to trou-
 ble and business confusion, and there
 is only one safe thing-that is, to change the name. You see that steam ! roller standing there in the White 1 House grounds. Well. that roller ought
 to furnish the name of the man that
 runs it. He ought to be named Roller i The man who is putting down these | asphalt pavements in the grounds ought to be named Asphalt" By this
 time the crank had been slowly es-
 corted across the grounds by the secret [ service man and had received an inti-
 ma ton that the president would pre- | fer that he submit his plans some-

COPPER PRIDE BONDED.

Sam Butler and James Wears and son came up from Bill Williams Fork Wednesday evening last. having com pleted sinking shaft on the Copper Pride mining claim 100 feet and cross cutting the vein 15 feet at that depth. They report having cut three feet of ore that gives an average value of more than 20 per cent copper. SIT gold. and a few ounces silver. Five feet of the vein is low grade copper ore, highly impregnated with iron hematite. A drill was driven three feet into the breast of the crosscut and the same character of ore was found. The ex- tent of the ore body Is a matter of con- lecture, but 1t Is thought to be im- mense. The property is owned by Sam Butler and E. s. Osborne. but is under bond to Ben Blanchard, of the Iron King mine, over in Yavapai county.- Mohave Miner.
