There is no longer any doubt in the
minds of any one that the owners of
the Bullard ranch have an enormous
body of ore. Some difficulties between
the original owners of the stock Of the
Queen Mining company and the gen.
tlemen who not long since purchased
controlling interest in the company
has kept the affairs tied up somewhat.
But there was meeting held in st.
Paul last Wednesday at which it was
believed that everything would be ad-
justed. The Democrat has not yet
learned the result of that meeting.
However, it Is known that some ar
rangements will be made whereby the
work Of sinking a shaft on the prop
erty will be begun very shortly.
The drill Is still going down on tn
Fergus ground. The formations are
most favorable. President Rea stat
ed that he Is perfectly satisfied with
the outlook. John A. Drake, David
Hilger. VIII Fergus and others who
are not afraid to take chance are
pany and if there is any ore on the
several thousand acres or more Of
ground which they own. they will find
it.
The chances of mill being erected
on the Santiago property next spring
are excellent. The ground has been
extensively developed by means of a
diamond drill and Mr.. Drake and his
associates hope to have everything in
shape to begin on the construction Of
a mill early in the spring.
The Bullard Extension Mining COM
pany are doing some work on their
ground which is excellently located.
This company will do some extensive
diamond drill exploration work this
fall and have a first class chance of
striking the same thing that the
Queen people hit on the Bullard
ground.
Another promising property in the
district is the Hedges group upon
which there has been a great deal OF
work done. This group of claims Is
patented and some excellent showings
Of cyanide ore have given the stock
Of the company 100 per cent boost.
The North Plum Creek people are
steadily with most satisfac-
tory showings. Over on the other side
Of the mountains are some very prom
lsing prospects.
Kendall is not booming but it is ex-
periencing growth which is Sec
ond cousin to a boom. Standing in
the door of the Barnes King office,
one can see no fewer than IA new
buildings in course of construction.

This concluded the testimony Of every
one save the colored man, Alex Bran
son who was confined to his room
with a broken rib and the court ad-
journed to re-convene in Branson's
the case could get there.
A half hour later court was sitting
In Branson's room on the Boulevard.
1t was thought by the partisans of the
detective that the old man who con-
ducts the First and Last Chance, just
across from the scene of the murder
would surely give some material evil
dence. But he did not He simply
testified that about o'clock of the
night of the murder, he saw some fell
lows over near Studzinskis cabin and
that one of them looked like Long.
Inasmuch as the old man has but
one eye, that he was $50 feet away and
1t was rather a dark night, his testi-
mony was rather insufficient to say
the least. to hold man on the seri-
GUS charge Of murder. It was now
the noon hour and an adjournment
was taken until 2 o'clock in the after
noon.
When the court called the crowd to
order in the afternoon, the state an
nounced that their case was in. Black
ford then Immediately moved that the
case be dismissed and that the de-
fendant be given his liberty. In op-
posing the motion Attorney Belden
pointed out that the defense should
put on their witnesses and show why
Long had made such conflicting state
ments regarding his actions on the
night of the murder. Justice McFar-
land did not take this view of the
matter, however, and granted the mo-
ton of Attorney Blackford for the dis
missal Of the case.
With the case against Long fallen
flatter than the proverbial pancake.
there was no use for the state to con-
tinue4 with the Taylor case and County
Attorney Ayers moved that it, too, be
dismissed. Attorney Huntoon, on be-
half of Taylor, stated to the court,
that they were glad to have the case
dismissed but that he wanted it ex-
pressly understood that they were nj I
begging for a dismissal but that it
was on the volition of the states at
torney that the action was taken. The
motion of the county attorney was
granted and Taylor, the las. of the

There is no disposition on the part |

ALL DISCHARGED
Absolutely Unable to Prove Solitary fact CONNECTING
Long, f1eniCke and Taylor With the Murder of
Sdmuedl StudzinSki.

Pinkerton Detective agency stock is
just now. That great man catching
institution may have won laurels in
Vulnerable in their particular line Of
activity in other parts of the country
but their single attempt in Fergus
county proved to be about the worst
f1zzle ever perpetrated upon an INTEL
ligent community.
The co-called case agaiuss Albert
Heinicke, Ray Long and Edward Tay-
lor, who were arrested on the merest
sort of a suspicion and thrown into
Jail on the charge of having caused
the death Of Samuel Studzinski on
the 23rd Of last August, fell complete
ly to the ground last Saturday morn
ing when the preliminary examina-
tion of Long was held before Justice
Mcfarland in the court room Of the
court house. Only those who heard
the evidence upon which the detective
tried to build his case can appreciate
how utterly unjust and cruel was the
entire proceeding against the young
men.
Albert Heinicke, the youngest of the
trio, was released from the custody of
the jailer Thursday morning. He was
kept in Jail almost a week despite the
fact that he Immediately furnished an
alibi, concerning which there was not
the slightest doubt in the mind of ev-
en- the most prejudiced citizen in the
community. He was out of the city
on the night Of the alleged murder
and with him was one of the most
highly respected business men of the
city. He had numerous other facts at
hand. given in previous issue Of the
Democrat, to prove that he was in no
way connected with the commission of
the horrible deed
The preliminary hearing of Ray
mond Long was begun in the district
court room at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, large crowd being present
to hear the evidence. It was the gen
eral feeling that the detective who
alone was responsible for the arrest
Of the young man, would produce
some sensational evidence to prove
Longs connection with the crime.
He had positively refused to give the
newspapers of the city anything con-
cerning the case and the reporters Of |
the two papers here had to dig OIL! for
themselves all of the facts connected |
with the case. 1t was presumed, how
ever, that the detective would spring
something that the reporters did not
run across. but it developed at the
hearing that the reason that he gave
out nothing was because he had moth
ing to give out. The newspaper men
were somewhat inclined to be miffed
at him for his refusal to put them

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
IL Pays to Raise Them, Provided the Crop Is Disposed Of in the Right
 Way and Place.

Having been asked, by farmer sub scriber, if it will pay to grow berries for market, in reply will say "yes"- if the business is managed right. and the crop disposed of In the right way and place. A good many of our towns are not properly supplied with berries; what they get. if any, are second class-the overflow or refuse from the cities, where the market is often glutted. The commission men send circulars out before the berries are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped from the south, inducing many home growers to ship. By the time their ber- ries get ripe the demand is supplied. prices drop, and the berries being per ishable product, have to be sold for what they will bring.
 My advice is to grow berries for local market towns that are not well supplied. Such places can be found in the west; land can be bought for less than half that close to large cities, pickers are cheap, and, as rule, more reliable. Berries that get too ripe on account of rain, and which will not do to ship, can be sold in the home market; all the rough handling of the railroad men. shipping expenses. commissions. etc.. are saved, also crates and boxes. Then when consumers get fresh, wholesome. home grown berries, they often get twice as many, and the growers in the local market often can regulate the price.
 It is a mistake to plant too large an acreage. We have to pay two cents a quart for pickers; one cent for straw berries and blackberries and one and one-half to two cents for raspberries The pickers can make good wages. have had boys and girls under 16 years old make dollar day. I, IS years ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw berries in day. I remember selling live dollars worth of raspberries from one picking off one row the length of ten acres. Black berries, 12 or more years ago. were not profitable, as so many grew wild; but of late years, growing blackberries has become more profitable Jacob Faith, in Midland Farmer.

BARRING CROSS SHOPS CLOSE
Three Hundred and Fifty Men Thrown
 Out of. Employment Until Nov. 1.

Little Rock, Oct. 19. Early yesterday afternoon Master Me chanic Stevens called together at his office committee represent ing all the unions represented at the shops, including the black smiths, the car repairers. the boilermakers and others. He stated that it would be necessary either to reduce the force two- thirds or shut down entirely for time, and asked which course would be preferred by the men. The members of the committee replied that they could not an- swer the question, but would call a meeting of the men, and that they would decide which course should be adopted.
 Accordingly a meeting was called and was attended by about $50 employees. The proposition was submitted to them, and, af- ter discussion, it was decided that the best course to be pursued was for the shops to close down entirely for the time being, and then resume operations, with all at their old places. The men will be given passes to any place to which they may care to go, and will take a vacation until Novem- Der 1. They will resume work on a scale of eight hours per day and five days a week.

The Magic Mirror.

The "magc mirror" of Japan is
disk Of bronze. usually from six inches
to eight inches in diameter. 1t is sill
vered on the front, which is Il little con-
vex. and there is a raised pattern on
the back which is rather cOncave. The
polished pattern is generally a land
scape. flowers, animals or Chinese
characters. This is not visible in the
front of the mirror, but when strong
sunlight is reflected from the front Of
the mirror to a wall or screen the pat
tern of the back is visible on the screen
in bright lines on n black ground. The
true scientific explanation of this mag
ical effect seems to be that the design
on the back alters the convexity of the
front, making it fiat along the lines of
the pattern, so that the light reflected
from the front is not dispersed at these
points OF the design. and they appear
brighter on the screen
