MIR. BURTON KNEW.
J. F. Close Present When Verdict
Was Returned

Assistant Attorney General F. J. Close
returned today from St. Louis, where he
went several days ago to take dispositions
with reference to compelling the Kansas
City-Northwestern to maintain an agent
at Ontario. Jackson county. nandamus
proceeding for that purpose is now pend
ing in the supreme court, brought by the
state.
Mr. Close was present at the Burton
trial Monday when the jury brought in
verdict and he says that he really felt
sorry for Burton. Senator Burton knew
before the verdict came in what it would
be. He told his friends at the Southern
hotel that the jury would return verdict
of guilty after Judge Adams had sent
the jury back to see if the one recalcit-
rant would not agree with the majority.
In little WHILE Senator Burton told
his friends that jury will bring in
verdict against me- In view of what
Judge Adams said to the jury I can not
hope that the one man who has held out
for me will continue to do unless he
is a much stronger character than 1
think -
Mr. Close says Judge Krum. Burtons
attorney, is confident of securing a re-
versal the statement of Judge Adams
to the Jury.

SWAMP TRIBE.
Can Hardly Walk and Members
Spend Lives in the Water

A tribe that can hardly walk has
been discovered in New Guinea. So I'M
used are these people to walking on
the solid ground that their feet bleed
when they try to go any distance.
They were discovered by Sir Francis
p Winter recently. The tribe is that
of the Ahgaiambos, and since time i'm
memorial they have lived in SwarnpS.
their houses being perched on bamboo
poles and elevated about IL feet above
the mud and water.
AS a result, since there is no solid
ground anywhere near them, genera
ton after generation of these people
have depended entirely on canoeing
and swimming. They are such good
swimmers that they can glide over and
between the half-Submerged reeds like
water snakes, and it is as natural for
an Ahgaiambo to slip into the water
to go next door as it is for a woman
in this country to throw a shawl over
her head and call on a neighbor.
They never leave the swamps, bu.
remain hidden in them from the time
they are born until they die. They are
as shy as the crocodiles and reptiles
that dwell there. This life has chang
ed their bodies SO that they look IN
like any other human beings in the
world. As they never walk. their legs
have become small and habby and
their feet are soft that blood flows
from the cracking skin as soon as they
are called on to tread on hard ground
Sir Francis Winter describes these
beings as follows in report to the
Australian government:
The men would be of good stature
if their bodies, from their hips down,
were in proportion to the upper part.
They have good chests, thick nec1s
and powerful arms; but from the hips
down they were shrunken creatures.
looking more like apes when viewed
from the side than like human beings.
Their feet are short and broad and
wonderfully thin, with weak toes They
are so feeble that they look almost as
if they lacked joints. The feet of all
the people whom I saw rested on the
floor when they stood or sat in a way
that reminded one irresistibly OF
wooden feet, because they were so
helpless and clumsy. New York
