Fall Bun coal mine near Glen Falls.
was placed on trial before Justice
Harry Gordon at o'clock Thursday
afternoon, charged with burning two
haystacks on the WoNerton farm
near Glen Falls last Sunday night.
There was much interest in the
case owing 10 the fact that his ar
rest was the result of the work of
blood hounds brought from Mounds
willie and given the trail Of the one
who burned the hay, and the court
room was filed with witnesses and
spectators.
At the conclusion ot tho taking of
the evidence the warrant was dis
missed and Murphy released from
custody on motion Of the State. The
only evidence the State had was that
the blood hounds ran around several
houses, among which was the small
house occupied by Murphy and his
wife, father and mother. All slept
in the same room the defense showed
and they we're all at home through
cut the entire night of the burning

FORESTS AS REVENUE.

During the year 1905 the sales OF
lumber from the United States ma

The largest sales SO far made are
II, 1865 board feet from South Da1(
kota; 6S,255,916 from Wyoming; and
5.327, 443 from Utah.
In sales of wood for fuel South Da-
kota led with 29,S441a cords; Arizona
followed with 16,649; and Colorado.
with 1O,795h. The total number oil
cords sold was 74,120
In sales of posts and poles Montana
led with 119,500, followed by Wvom-
ing with 3O,750, and Colorado with
1888 The total number sold was
|1SS,74O.
The largest timber sales were made
IN wyoming, where they reached
Sl43,S94.S1. South Dakota's sales
ranked second in value. amounting to
s7S,95S.24, and Colorado's to s23 937.-
OF. The total sales for 1905 reached

In cash, is now being administered at
q cost of less than one-third of / per

during his two years imprisonment
in the fortress of st. Peter and ST

his glacial explorations. For some
time the authorities would let him
have neither book nor pen and ink.

After he had escaped, the second half
OF his manuscript remained in the

ly twenty-five years he lay a prisoner
in the Schlusselberg fortress. to be
released finally last October after the
cars decree of amnesty. He. too.
was at first deprived of the students
materials. His one book was the
bible. After some years the guards
brought him other books and men and
paper. Now he is about TO publish
In ST. Petersburg twenty volumes of a
scientific work chiefly devoted to
chemistry which he wrote in prison.

people who have tortured genius. nor
