ORIGIN OF THE STOVE.

The most important uses of fire were
taught by fire itself AS the primitive
man stood near the flames of the burn
ing tree and felt their pleasant glow
ne learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort. an6 when the flames swept
through .I.v-t and overlook a deer
and baked il, he learned that fire might
be used TO improve the quality of his
food The mint was not lost. He took
a burning torch TO his cave or hut and
kfndled him a fire on his floor of earth.
His dwelling filled with smoke, but he
could endure the discomfort for tho
sake of the toOthsOmeness of the cook
ed meats After a time q hole was
made in the roof of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was the first stove. T1e prini-
tive stove was the entire house; the
floor was the fireplace and the hole In
the roof was the chimney. The word
stove originally meant "a heated
room. So that il we should say that
at first people lived in their stoves we
would say that which is literally true

WOULD IMPEACH WEBB
STATE WILL DECLARE NEGRO
MURDERER ONCE ADMITTED
VICTIM HAD NO KNIFE.

The defense in the Walter Webb MUIR
der trial is living up to the traditions
OF colored homicide cases, and in every
particular is bringing out the stereo-
typed explanation that has been used
in every Minneapolis trial of the kind
in the last decade.
The defendant sWore yesterday that
Holmes had a knife in his hand and
attempted to use it on him before he
shot. A man named Weisman identi-
fled a blunt potato knife as the one
that he had picked up near the scene
Of the tragedy, about half an hour at
A colored man named Shields was
next called, and swore than Holmes
had carried this potato knife and for
some days prior to the homicide had
been Furnishing it about and threaten
ing to play havoc with his enemies.
There will be other evidence corroborat-
ing this.
= The police and the county attorneys
say they had this defense set to music
long before the trial, and did every
thing possible to prepare for it. On
rebuttal officers will testify that imme-
diately after his arrest Webb stated
positively that Holmes had nothing in
his hands at the time of the shooting.
Later, after consultation, the officers
will swear that the defendant changed
his story and said that Holmes did
hold knife, but insisted that it was a.
small one, about the size Of an ordinary
penknife. ..-.. <"--t >->

CORPSE IS FOUND
WEDGED In FENCE
MARTIN ROGERS sTRANGLED BE-
TWEEN FENCE POCKETS.
Police Believe MANS Peculiar Death an.
Accident Rogers Known to Have
Been Drinking, and It Is Thought He
Slipped Into Fatal Clutch Rogers, a
Bachelor, Leaves Mother.

Martin Rogers, Sl5 Fourteenth ave-
nue. S, was found dead under mys-
FERROUS and most unusual circumstances
early this morning on Sixteenth avenue
s, near Franklin.
The body was discovered by Patrol
man Knutson Of the South station. The
body rested on the hands and knees,
while the neck was wedged between
two pickets of a strong fence as tho
in wise. gt.4 1 I'LL ~ g.. " -.
Knutson was just leaving his beat
to report at the station when he saw
the body ahead of him. Thinking it
drunken man, he attempted to awaken
him, but found that Rogers was dead,
He Immediately notified the coroner
and the body was removed to the
county morgue. .,..:
An investigation proved to the salts
faction of the police that death was due
to accident. Rogers hat was found on
the opposite side Of the fence from his
body, tending to show that he fell with
some force. 1t is known that Rogers
was drinking heavily last night and the
police think that he slipped on the ice.
With his head caught firmly between
the pickets, and his mind dazed by
drink he had little chance to help him
self. r
Rogers was the sole support Of his
widowed mother, Mrs. Margaret Rogers,
who lived with him. He was 40 Years
old and single. Mrs. Rogers said to-
day that the death Of her son was un-
doubtedly due to accident, for he had
a happy disposition and made good
wages as a steamftter.
