family had been the servant of the
guardian deity of the fishermen's viii
lage.
Grandma Ikeda was drifting down
ufes slope on the other side of sew
enty-three. AT the time of the Chino
Nippon war her son was on the Hihei
in the thick of the historic battle of the
Yalu. And her son never came back to
her from the silence of the Yellow Sea.
That was her only boy.
Ikeda Taro, her grandson, and the
one boy whom her son had left with
father before him, he was placed in
a naval academy as he came to age.
Two years before, however. he finished
his course at the school and went back
to his grandmother.
She was so feeble that without his
constant help It was vezy difficult for
her to manage to provide for even the
simplesl needs of life. So the grandson
stayed with his feeble grandmother. and
many a Spring day the villagers of
Sakamoto were treated TO as beautiful
a sight as human eye is permitted TO
ENJOY. On the strong arm of her grand
child, well-knit, hardy and erect from
military training. the boy presented q
brave picture with his grandmother
clinging to him like the fading tendril

3iJEYMEN PASS
A HARD NIGHT

The jurynlen had hard night of it.
They wrangled until nearly o'clock in
the morning. when the light was put
out and it was evidently intended to get
some sleep. There were no cots or
blankets in the jury room and the men
mad to stretch out in chairs. In this
way they obtained a little rest
Later the steam heat in the building
ran low and some Of the jurymen conn
planned to Captain Lynch who guarded
the door. He aroused the engineer to
give the building some more heat.
The jurors were astir early. AT
o'clock they told their guardian that
they were hungry and ten minutes later
they marched out of the building to a
neighboring restaurant. Their haggard
appearance indicated the strain they
were laboring under
The jurors returned to the criminal
court building soon after 8 o'clock and
were locked up in their room for fur
ther deliberation
There were many runors about the
court house this morning as to how the
jury stood One was to the effect that
they stood six to six for murder in the
first degree and acquittal. Another re-
port was that nine were for naansiaugh-
ter in the first degree, two for the sec

Still another rumor was that all the
jurors were for conviction but could

Friend After Death.

Alone and friendless. Mamie Sanford
died at the Washington Asylum last
Friday
For a week the authorities tried In
vain to find trace of her relatives. Ad-
vertising in the newspapers brought no
response.
The body would have been sent today
to the potter's field had it not been that
the heart of an unknown Washington
woman was touched by the sad cir
cunstanees in the case.
The latter's attention was called to
the matter by the newspaper advertise
ment. Today DR.. Woodward, Health
Officer, received letter from her. in
which she volunteered to bear the ex-
penses of a decent burial of the BODY.
and asked to have her name withheld
The funeral took place this afternoon.
Mamie Sanford was a white woman
sixty-nve years old. She is said to have
come to this city from Sharps, Va, and
met with misfortune and sickness
She was a widow, and apparently

DELUGE OF GRAIN
INTO WINDY CITY
Eclipses All Known
Records.

CHICAGO, Dec. 28-Chicaso is cx-
perieneing a deluge of grain that eclipses
anything in the memory of the oldest
members of the board of trade.
Between 100000 and 9.0Oo,0 600 bushels
of the golden product from the West
vairly awaited transportation Thurs
day to points east OF Chicago and to the
seaboard.
All day dealers in grain, influential
members of the board of trade and ele-
yator men besought the traffic officials
of eastern roads for relief They found
that every scrap of freight equipment
that could be mustered into service was
in use and that it was hopeless to seek
more. A careful estimate disclosed the
fact that fully 5000 carloads of grain
had been offered for transportation east
ward during the day and refused by the
railroads. One of the main eastern
trunk line systems displayed letters and
messages which called for 1900 cars
more than they possessed.
