A MAD COW.

A wild COW, in the Olive Springs set
Element, this county, has been running
at large for some weeks, causing alarm.
She is spotted COW with LIN" brand
ed on her hip. Where she come from
no one knows. She has been ranging
from Mr.. Bill Manning's farm to Smyr-
ma and back. She is as swift as deer,
jumps high fences, barbed or otherwise,
with perfect freedom and agility. She
has been feeding in corn fields and is as
fat as If she was stall-fed. The farmers
in that section made several unsuccess-
full attempts to catch her. Nearly every
night she would go to Mr.. J B. Barber's
COW lot, eat up the COW food placed out
for his cows, and bound away when ap-
preached. Mr.. Barber has. for the past
week, been batting her with a tub with
salt in it, moving the tub CLOSER to his
stable each night, until he got the tub
inside the stable. He fastened rope
so as to cause the door to close when
once touched. The COW, one night last
week. was coaxed inside of the stable
to get the salt, and the trap door clos
ed and she was caught. She fought
hard to get out, but was securely fasten-
ed. When anyone approaches the stable
she tries to get to them, being in flu
rious rage. If no one doesn't claim
her, she will be sold to the butchers.

F, ]. TESLA
CONVICTED
Found Guilty Of Mailing
Obscene Printed
Matter.

Frank j. Tesla, editor and proprietor
of The Independent, was convicted on
one count of his indictment for sending
obscene matter through the United
States mails. His trial occupied the
whole of yesterday in the Federal court.
j. j. Dunno appeared for the United
States, and A. G. NJ. Robertson for the
defendant.
The jury consisted of James Merse-
berg, Lawrence II. Dee, VIM. Wagner,
A. G. Ferguson, VIM. w. Kirkland, c.
T.. Calvert, Geo. w. Hayselden, Henry
p. Roth, John Coffee, George Hawley,
A. Mckenzie and Robert b. French.
In empaneling the jury several were
excused for cause, but only few per-
emptory challenges were exercised. Mr..
Dunno gave the last one, when Mr..
Robertson a second time stated that
the jury was satisfactory to the de-
fense
1t was only few minutes of IL when
the Indictment was read to the jury by
the clerk and recess was taken until 2
p. m. Evidence for the prosecution con-
sisted of a copy each of three separate
daily issues of The Independent as eX-
hibits, with oral testimony that they
had been regularly mailed by employees
of the defendant in the Honolulu post
office. Each issue thus represented con-
tanned reading matter forming the
basis of count in the indictment.
The defense contented itself with
technical objections to the admission of
evidence. 1t put on no evidence for it
self.
Mr.. Robertson in closing to the jury,
alleged spite on the part of the pros
ecution.
Mr.. Dunno delivered a dispassionate
and mastery address for the United
States. He made it plain to the jurors
that it was for them to say whether
the United States mails We're to be
used for sending into the homes of the
community reading. matter of a debas-
ing character.
Judge Dole delivered instructions, in
Guiding part of those requested on both
sides, and the jury retired at APO. 1t
returned about $3.50 with verdict of
guilty as already stated. The prosecu-
ton had offered no proof on the third
count Mr.. Dunno and afterward the
court asking the jury to disregard that
count.
1t is said that the chief difficulty of
the jury was over the first count, of
which they acquitted the defendant.
This appeared to be founded on a re-
print article and, in absence of proof
in that regard, the jurors We're not pre-
pared to hold Editor Tesla directly re-
sponsible for it's appearance in his pa
per.
The penalty for the offense of which
Tesla has been found guilty is either
fine or imprisonment or both. For the
fine the minimum is 800 and the maxi
mum $1,000, and the imprisonment may
be for any time from one day to five
years. Judge Dole will pronounce SEN
