Beuna Vista was prosecuted by Assist

of this city. OF the half a dozen more
important cases called for trial con-
victions were secured In all but one OF
them. the exception being the People
vs. Mrs. Grace Hutchinson, charged
with the murder OF Mrs. Mary Bode at
Salida-
Few more sensational criminal pro-
ceedings have ever been heard by the
courts OF Southern Colorado than those
In which Mrs. Hutchinson was defend
ant and they Interested many people
throughout the state on account of
their almost dramatic character.
Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs. Bode were
next door neighbors in Salida and were
both wives OF railroad men. the former
of switchman and the latter of an en-
gineer. They were both young and Of
practically the same age. They were
Intimate friends for a long time and
Mrs. Bode frequently took Mrs. Hutch
ison for a ride about town in her
buggy. Mrs. Hutchinson was sick last
spring and Mrs. Bode was untiring In
her efforts TO nurse her back to health
and usefulness.
For some reason not very clearly de-
fined TO the jury a coolness sprang up
between the two women last April. al
though so fas as shown to the court
there was no serious quarrel On the
eighteenth OF June Mrs. Hutchinson
went down town and purchased a re-
volver at one OF the hardware stores,
which she loaded. and walked to Mrs.
Bodies home. a distance OF Ave blocks.
and without warning shot her down,
from the effects OF which she died.
The evidence against the defendant
at the trial pointed conclusively to
her guilt, but In spite OF that fact she
was acquitted OF the deed OF which she
was charged. The jury was composed
of practically the same men that had
brought In a verdict OF guilty in the
other cases and were good men and

the appeals for sympathy and COM

WILLOW SPROUT GROWS
INTO FINE LARGE TREE

The attention of hundreds of people
is attracted every year to the graceful
and superb willow tree on the prem
ises OF DIR. T. II. Craven at 20oa East
Main street. although few of them are
aware that II has attained its maguifi-
cent proportions in a quarter of a CEN
fury from the most unpromising of be-
ginnings.
In the spring of 1881 DR.. Craven re-
ceived a consignment of fruit trees
from an Eastern nursery and found
one of the bundles tied with a willow
ameter. He noticed that 1t was still
green and recalling the vitality of the
willow cut of piece about sixteen
inches in length and planted II near
the irirgating ditch where II would at
all times have plenty of moisture. In
a short time 1t began to grow. showing
an adaptability to the soil and climate
that was as remarkable as 1t was un-
expected.
The tree has had but few insect en-
emies and at no time has there been
any languishment In its growth. Its
branches have spread of forty-five
feet and would have been considerably
more had II not been hampered In its
expansion by the proximity of n large
maple tree. which prevented Its further
growth in that direction. That such
. tree should have grown up from a
cutting In twenty-five years demon
strates the wisdom Of arborculture and
proves that In some cases. At least,
the people who plant trees live to en-
Joy their shade.

Almost invariably associated with

consequence many West Indian children
who are in the habit of eating dry cas-

appearance when served. and tastes a
good deal like sandy soup with a favor
of fish roe. The sea cat is in reality a
species OF octopus. or devil fish, and is
usually beaten and pounded against a
rock until pulpy and then boiled into a
sort of thick. jellylike soup. IL Is really
not bad and more closely resembles
pigs feet than anything else. The
great. pink conches are also eaten. but
are rather tough and leathery and have
no particular flavor.
Whale and porpoise steaks are often
eaten, but both are too strong of fish

cacies.
Many Americans. however, have
learned to thoroughly enjoy the un-
familiar food Of the foreigner and the
Spanish. Chinese. Syrian and other for
eiGn restaurants Of New York number
among their patrons a large proportion
of native born Americans. 1t is. there
fore. rather odd that no strictly West
Indian restaurant has been ESTABLISHED
in New York, for the dishes peculiar
to<those islands are far more savory
than many of those now in demand
and would no doubt prove a welcome
addition to American menus. Although
the West Indian peasant lives on very
simple food and his diet varies little.
yet even his pounded plantain. taro
soup and other everyday dishes are not
to be despised If properly cooked and
served.
Perhaps the most generally eaten and
most valuable foodstuff of the West In
dies is the plantain. Much like a large
and coarse banana in outward appear
ance. this fruit is cooked and eaten
in an endless number of ways. Green
it is boiled. fried. roasted or pounded

ripe it is Sliced and fried in oil or

much like roasted chestnuts; fried. it
resembles oyster plant or parsnips;
boiled, it forms a good substitute for

sort of dumpling.
