AUDUBON SOcIETY'S
OUTING TO GREAT FALLS

The field excursions of the Audubon
Society. established for the purpose of
affording the general public an oppor-
tunity to make the acquaintance of the
birds of this region, have been very
popular this year, and last Saturdays
trip to Great Falls attracted a large
number. including members of the So
ciety. members of the society's spring
bird class. and many others. Birds.
flowers. and landscape formed the va
ried objects of attention and awakened
enthusiasm according to the bent or
mood of each participant. Abundant
opportunity was offered for satisfaction
in each of these lines of enjoyment and
those who attended were well pleased
with the outing. The destination chosen
and the rugged and picturesque shores
of the canal are especially attractive at
this season from ornithological. botani-
cal. or purely esthetic standpoints. and
even heavy shower encountered on
the return failed to dampen the spirits
of the eXcurSioniSts.
Among those attending were Prof
and Mrs. w. T. SidweIl with a party
of teachers from the Friends Select
School; Gen. and Mrs. George NJ

sued against some of thin, previous TO
his employment as counsel, and that
was one of the reasons why he had been
employed, in order that he might have

of the Is. MAN Canal Commission to-

not declined the position of treasurer
for the commission, as reported.

to the others views of the case. Final
ly General 1yner suggested that the
witness should confer with Barrett, as
the latter was ''Iresher from the law
books" than Tyner himself was.

TO query from Mr.. Worthington. 1t

ments had been found. not on any action

one OF the prominent men who had taken
part in similar case before the Federal
court at Des Moines.
Views on an Opinion.

any way was acknowledged better than
none. The Federal judge in Iowa had
never handed down written opinion.

After il had been read by Mr.. Worth
ington. General Kitchener reiterated
what he had previously said, that il had
always been his impression that Judge
Wilson had died without having render
ed any opinion whatever in the case.
Kitchener Kept the Case.
The examination was then directed by
Mr. Worthington TO the period when
the witness had been referred TO Colonel
Tyner by Mr.. Barrett.
Did your business afterward to go
Mr. Barrett?" asked Mr.. Worthington.
"Oh. no; it was handled by Dudley &

Its nonsense: not a word Of truth

a look of disgust.

The connection of witness law firm
with the L. J. Arnold Company was
