In sheep large bones are an unfavOR-
able point. a. they denote an abstrac-
ton Of nutriment which should other
wise go to the foundation OF flesh and
the greater value Of the carcass.
The absence Of horns Is for the same
reason desirable for sheep bred for
mutton. A soft. mellow feeling Of tho
skin and the tissue underneath, with
softness Of the tleece. Is Indicative Of u
tendency toward the rapid formation
OF fat.
A round frame and broad loin indi-
cate the existence Of abundant flesh
where it Is most desirable. aud gen
eral squareness OF the outline OF the
figure proves the existence Of large
muscular development and heavy quar-.
tiers.

FergusOn's Friends are Exert
ing Every Effort to Estab-
lish Grade of Crime Below
Premeditated Murder
HAVE OFFERED NO REWARD.

Keen interest Is manifested gener-
ally in the city in the arrest of Stone
wall J. Ferguson. who killed Gus
Morris Sunday evening, but the police
have been unable to satisfy them
selves as to his movements after he
saw the body of his victim placed in
the ambulance and conveyed away.
There is a great deal of talk of a
reward as an incentive to more activ-
ity, but so far none has been offered.
Friends OF the fugitive believe
that the crime was committed in sud
den heat and passion, and claim that
they will be able to produce proof to
this effect. It is not denied that he
killed Morris, but the theory Of pre-
meditated murder is not held by his
friends. The latest statements rela-
tive to the case comes from officers
and friends of Ferguson. 1t is that
he slipped on the pavement and acct
dentaliy staggered against Miss Cor
don. After he was reproved by Nor
ris it Is alleged he apologized. and cut
only after an epithet was applied to
him.
This is the statement friends make,
and efforts are being put forth to
secure witnesses.
County Attorney Alben Barley
carefully sought out all evidence pos
sible to secure and has Miss Gordon's
statement substantiated by the only
other eye witnesses to the tragedy
possible to secure.

he wanted to question her in order to

cross-examination by Jerome. He
proved worthy Of the district attor-
