The Russians have experienced much difficulty
with their snrapnel. which should have effectu-

the consignments Of shrapnel sent TO the front
appear to have been almost worthless, not from
any radical defect IN the Russian time fuse, as
that has proved throughout the war to be a
satisfactory device. but from poor construction
of the shells There have been several instances

This is a remarkable purchase made by our
buyer in London during his recent trip
abroad. The muflers are in the full regular
size, in fine assortment of patterns with silk
stripes and figures.
The popularity of the muller has increased
enormously this season, and to buy mufiers
that were already valued at popular price at
just half of that amount is rather remarkable,
right in the midst of Christmas shopping.

COLLINS AND LOGAN HELD kOR TRIAL
Examination Ended In Fixing Bail For
Trial Friday, Dec. Is.

The preliminary examination Of James
Collins and j. S. Logan upon the charge
of attempting to secure money upon
fraudulent drafts was begun in the mu-
nlclpal court at GAINESVILLE Thursday and
continued until Saturday last. District
Attorney Jackson appeared for the state
PENDANTS. Acting Chief Brown was
concerning the arrest of the two men
and the finding of the four drafts in their
room at Smiths hotel.
.. 81. Babcock, clothing merchant at
Edgerton, stated on the stand that he
had known Collins 30 years. He knew
the particulars concerning the fitting
out of Collins with S4l,75 worth of
clothes and Logan's rendering of the
5000 draft When it was found that the
draft would not be accepted at the bank
without inquiry at Butte, he testified
that Collins took off all his fine raiment
and resumed his old clothes. Landlord
j. +. Sweeney testified that night or
two before the incident at Edgerton oc.
CURED, Collins introduced Logan with
him at the Grand hotel, stating that he
was taking Logan with him to Edgerton
to look over the scenes of his (Collin's)
childhood and that Logan had run out
of ready cash. Mr.. Sweeney refused his
request to cash $500 draft.
Cashier Writ Wright stated that when
he examined the draft presented to Mr..
Babcock he found that it was not drawn
on the bank of New York named as cor
respondent Of the Butte, Mont, bank,
nor was the name of the cashier given in
the directory The draft was printed on
cheap paper, whereas it was the custom
Of western banks to use finely litho-
graphed stationary. He accompanied
Logan to the telegraph office but Collins
appeared on the scene and demonstrated
with Logan against paying Sl.12 for a
message to Butte. Thereupon Cashier
Wright cancelled Mr.. Babcock's endorse
ment of the draft and handed it to Logan.
At this juncture the case was ad-
journed until Saturday morning In the
meantime the district attorney was in
formed by wire that FL. J. Davis, presi-
dent of the First National bank of Butte,
was in Chicago and he was induced to
come to GAINESVILLE and establish the
question of forgery. On the stand the
Butte banker testified that the drafts
purporting to be drawn by his bank were
bogus and that tho name of the sup
posed cashier affixed at the bottom was
neither that of any person employed in
his banking house, nor indeed Of anyone
with whom he was acquainted. District
Attorney Jackson had another of these
fraudulent drafts procured in Chicago,
but it was not offered in evidence.
Upon the showing Judge Fifield held
the men for trial on Dec 10th at which
time Mr.. Davis is expected to be present

At seven the morning of the 2lst of
November we boarded the train at Ed
gerton and started on our journey to
Roxbury, Virginia. At Chicago we trans
ferred to the Big Four depot. There
Mrs. Saxby and her five children joined
US, making a party of eleven. After
delay of two hours we were again on our
way. There was no delay in our journey
after leaving Chicago. About 9 o'clock
we changed from the Big Four to the
c.. & 0. road at Cincinnati. There were
ten crowded coaches on this train, and
with seven tired and sleepy children in
our party we passed an uncomfortable
night.
In the early morning and forenoon of
the 22d we were speeding through the
tunnels among the mountains of West
Virginia. We changed cars at Gordens-
vile and again at Richmond. At Rich
mond my little boy looked out of the
window and cried, There, mama, is papa
in that freight car door" Our train was
late and it was nearly six when we ar
rived at Roxbury. The eleven of US
filled the waiting room. Our first in
quiry was for the freight cars that left
Edgerton Nov. 18th. They had not
reached Roxbury. Dell had seen his
father in Richmond. I next inquired
for hotel. There was no place in Rox-
bury for US to stay. Then [ tried to hire
was no team to be found. A young man
had driven in with two seated, one
horse wagon to take Mrs. Saxby and
children to Mr.. Hestler's, He said: 81
can make room for you all in my wagon
and take you home with me-" There
seemed no other way and we climbed in.
1t was raining and the roads were slip
perry. It was nearly nine when we
reached Mr.. Hestler's. There we met
cordial welcome and were given the best
without stint and without price. Truly
we had come to Virginia to learn the
definition of hospitality. have won
dered if [ could entertain eleven strang-
ers in my home as did this gentle south
ern woman. Her coffee was delicious,
her cooking unequalled, and she made
US feel it was pleasure to have US un-
der her roof.
The freight cars got to Roxbury that
night. The next day began the unload
ing. The stock came through looking
we'll. One of Mr.. Saxby's pigs died and
one of Mr.. Pomeroy's chickens. They
got the stock to the farms on Weelnes-
day and on Thursday we were in our
homes. We had excellent weather for
hauling and uncrating the goods clear
and sunny. Dec. 4th we had what the
Virginians call hard rain, but to us it
was nothing like your Wisconsin storms.
The thermometer stood at freezing
during the day and dropped to rs de-
grees above zero during the night. That
is the coolest it has been since we came
here. The evenness of temperature is a
constant wonder to u.s. We thoroughly
enjoy the warm, sunny weather. We miss
the biting Wisconsin winds, but we make
no complaint. We find excellent neigh
bors here. All thing are better here than
[ expected and [ am glad we came.
