After striking the last blow the defendant says he picked up hat, steped out of the door and left. This desperate encounter occurred in a lone cabin with no light save the dim flicker of lantern in an adjoining room.
 Those arriving at the cabin few hours after the killing found the body under the bed, with the head and one arm and shoulder cut. the knife in pool of blood few feet away. In an adjoining room was found the pistol of the deceased, where Neal Powell swore that Mir. Lacy had laid it. Upon the table was an empty blood-besmeared whiskey jug.
 The jury retired with the case few moments before 12 o'clock Saturday night By 5 o'clock the next morning it had arrived at a verdict but did not render it until this morning. Counsel for defense asked for a stay of sentence until Thurs day. which was granted. It is learned that on the first ballot nine were for hanging and three for life Imprisonment.

 Professor DeMotte prefaced his remarks by paying a compliment to Montgomery and Montgomery people.
 A large screen was drawn across the pulpit, upon which the illustrations of the lecture were thrown by large ster- eopticon.

 Dr. DeMotte said that it was of facts that he would speak, and not of theories facts that have a tremendous bearing on the lives of the speaker and his hear CTS.
 He then illustrated on the canvas the wave sounds as enecting the drum Of the ear; also as affecting the sense of sight and of touch Some of the illustrations were especially beautiful and all were pleasing and ln- StructiVe

MONTANA BUFFALO
A Fine Herd of Three Hundred =.
the Flnthead Indian Reservation


A Fine Herd of Three Hundred ON
the Flnthead Indian Reservation.
There are several herds of bufroloos
in America, but all of them combined
would not equal in size the AIlerd herd
of the Flathead reservation in Mon
tana. The herd sprang from two buff.
falo calves captured twenty Years ago
by an Indian.
Charles Allerd, one of the leading
braves of the reservation. took tbe
calves and. capturing few others
started out with herd Of five. 1t was
his intention to fatten thpm like beeves
and use them when hunting was poor.
Major Peter ROOnan. at that time In.
dian agent at the reservation. suggest
ed to Aiierd that it might be a GOOD idea
to breed the buffaloes, as the animals
were becoming scarce in that territory.
The herd now numbers 300 and is
valued Mt a quarter of a million dol
lars. Allerd has given but little at
tention TO his bufraloes. They have
made little attempt to leave the little
valley Of the Flathead where they have
been pastured Mountain walls easily
barred any such inclination. and the In
dians along the various passes have
taken care to see that Charley Allerd's
herd did not escape. Allerd did not
realize that he was a wealthy man un-
til one day he was offered 5000 for one
of his herd by a circus agent.
Parts of the herd have been exhibited
all over the United States. They We're
one Of the great attractions of the
worlds fair in Chicago.
Just before Alerd died he called on
the man who had suggested the buffalo
breeding idea to him and gave him
present of $500.
Two half breed sons survive the old
Indian. When they need money they
kill the Oldest buffalo in the herd and
sell it to Butte butchers. The hide
brings $500 and the meat sells for an
other $500. The meat finds ready sale
in Butte at 81 Il pound. Wealthy miners
and others pay from $40 to SD for the
choicest cuts and invite their friends
in for a buffalo dinner.
The herd is increased by thirty or
forty calves every year. and for some
unknown reason this band of buffaloes
thrives much better than the inmates
of the Yellowstone National park.
Both the Allerd boys have Travelled
extensively and are well educated. 1t
is the hobby of one of them to harness
his two biggest bulls in team and ride
at breakneck speed through the streets
of AIissOula. Many Of the bulls in the
herd are wild, and great difficulty is ex-
perienced in loading them for ship
ment. One magnificent bull recently
charged from one end of the car to the
other striking with such terrific force
that he broke his neck. The Allerd
herd is the only effort made to perpet-
uate the fast disappearing monarchs of
the ns-Indianapolis sun.

A remarkable story can be verified by

In one Of the counties of western Kan

an Of some forty years, recently began
to have severe headaches. A local ply
sician decided that the trouble was
with her eyes. The family could not
believe it, as she had very keen sight
from both far and near. However, the
husband took her TO an oculist in Kan
sas City for expert examination. In
the course of the examination the pro-
fessional man held up a candle and
asked her what she saw. Il see the
two lights" she answered calmly.
"Two?' exclaimed the surprised hus-

me when you looked at meT' "Why,
certainly. dear" was the answer don't
you always see two of mef'
And then came the revelation that
this educated. intelligent woman had
never known in all her forty years of
life that everybody didn't see double.
