STEVENS JURY DID NOT AGREE
Mistrial of the Attempted Arson Case
in Wichita.

Wichita, Feb. AFTER considering the
evidence for and against S. M. Stevens,
charged by the state with attempting to
burn his wife's store on the night of
January 1, a year ago, since o'clock
Saturday evening, the jury reported
that there was no probability OF an
agreement and was discharged. 1t took
more than four days to try the case
which aroused considerable interest To-
cally.
The defendant was a member Of one
of the Oldest and most highly respected
families in SedgWick county, but when
in business here years ago, there were
fires in his store that caused talk. When
on New Years night a year ago, it was
found that a lighted lamp, minus a
chimney, had been set among a lot of
summer millinery in the rear room OF
his wife's store, he was accused OF at
tempting TO defraud the insurance com
panies by burning the stock. The trial
brought out the fact that it was the
dull season, and the stock was insured
for SO 300, while it was sold two weeks
later for less than a third that sum.
To the lamp was attached a string that
led to the alley in the rear, with which
the lamp could be overturned If neces-
The fire marshal declared that in
five minutes more the store would have
been ablaze.
Stevens based his defense upon an
aHbi. but two witnesses for the state
swore that they saw him standing In
front of the store about the time the
lamp must have been lit.

THE ARSINOITHERIUM.

The desert of Fayun, southwest of
Cairo, in Egypt, is the locality in which
the Oldest known inscriptions written
in Greek letters have been discovered
in Greek letters have been discovered.
In the last two years 1t has become
equally famous for the number of hith-
erto unknown varieties of extinct ami
mails whose bones have been disin-
TERED from the sands. One of these
beasts is the Moeritheriunl-the ances-
tor of all elephants-a creature with
long snout, but with a lower jaw so
long that the snout could not hang
down in trunk style.
Still more interesting, from the point
of view of scientists, however, is the
Arsinoitherium, an animal that was
bigger than the biggest of our modern
rhinoceroses. Some six or seven skulls
of this animal have been secured, the
largest having a lower jaw over two
feet in length. Above the nostrils the
Arsfnoitherium had a huge pair of
horns projecting forward. The striking
thing about these horns is that they
were not of horny, fibrous material.
but bony outgrOwthS, covered in life
with blood vessels and skin, like the
horns of a giraffe, though probably
protected at the tips with horny mat
ter. Behind the big horns was a pair
of smaller ones. The nearest relative
of the Arsinoitherium known to sci
ence is the Dfnoceras. speciments of
which have been discovered in Wyom-
ing in sands of the same age as those
of the F'ayum. The Egyptian beast had
the Wyoming one beaten IN the size of
it's horns, though some of the latter
have three pairs of horns.
The ArsinOitherium is named after
Queen Arsinoe, daughter of the first
Ptolemy, who had a palace in the
Fayum in days when that region was
more nearly habitable than it is today.
The time that has elapsed since the
Arsinoitherium lived is, however, as
much greater than the time since Ansi-
noe as a century is greater than a cou-
pie of minutes. Excavations in the
Fayum are still being pushed. though
under great disadvantages owing to
the fact that the best localities are
three full days march from water and
many more finds are anticipated.-Chi-

DIED IN THE CAGE.
n. F. Brown Who Was Killed at Vic
tor, N Nephew of C. E. Strauss

c. f. Strauss. of the Strauss real
estate agency, received word Friday
afternoon of the death of H. F. Brown,
nephew by marriage, in the mine dis
aster at Victor. Colo. last Tuesday
morning. Although Mr.. Strauss had
seen the name in the list of dead in
the press reports last Tuesday. he did
not know that the Brown referred to
was his relative. With fourteen other
men Brown was dashed to the bottom
of 800 foot shaft in one of the STRAIT
ton Independence mines when the cage
in which they had just assembled had
been broken from its cable by a defect
in the hosting machinery. The engi-
neer had been unable to stop the hoist
engine and the cage was drawn up into
the gallows where the strain from the
hoist severed the cable. All fifteen
were killed, while one man escaped
with his life by being caught in the
machinery at the top of the galIows.
Mr.. Brown had been married but a
short time, and had but recently gone
to Colorado. He was a veteran of the
Spanish-Amerfcan war. Because his
body was so horribly mutilated it has
been decided to send it to St. Louis for
crena ton.

The intercollegiate contests were the
