as to the purchase of an engine after
the purchase of a motor for the new
securing plant. This Prof. Buffum
said was done at Morton's suggestion,
as he was afraid that the motor would
not arrive in time.
Knew of No Graft.
Then Mr.. Henderson put it right up
to Mr.. Buffum, and asked him If he
knew of his wi knowledge where any
member of the board of trustees had
received favors amounting to graft or
corrupt. To this he replied emphatic
ally that he did not. He wished fur
Their to state, referring to Morton's
statements of yesterday, that he had
never had any fear of Gramm; that
he had never felt it necessary to toady
to any member of the board; that
charges of that kind were untrue and
absurd.
Scales Sold Cheap.
Referring again to the scale matter,
he said that Gramm had told him that
he would sell them to him as cheap
as he could buy them anywhere; that
he had previously bought a pair in
Denver, SO he knew what they cost;
but Morton said he must have a new
set at once, as he had bought a stack
of hay of Mr.. Corthell and it was nee
essary to weigh the same, so to avoid
delay they gave Gramm the order, but
that it never entered his head to give
Gramm the order simply because he
was a member of the board of trus.
tees. When he bought anything Of
Gramm it was either because he had
the goods or could get them as cheap
as anyone else could.
Morton Makes Another Admission.
Mr.. Morton was recalled to the
stand and admitted keeping two sheep
for Mr.. Atkinson all winter. They
had been bought with the understand
ing that they should only remain until
Atkinson could take them to his ranch,
but afterwards, at his request, Morton
had allowed them to remain the entire
winter. He, however, believed that
there was no corruption in that, and
he also believed that a bill for the keep
had been rendered and same paid.
But Prof. Buffum said he had never
received the money, and Mr.. Hender-
son said there was no trace of it in the
books, so Morton admitted he might
be mistaken.
1t was also brought out hal a horse
belonging to D. N. Stickney had been
kept for several months in return for
its use by Mr.. Hyslop. The latter, in
addition to his salary and a room in
the farm house, could not walk to the
upper farm or the university, so he
needed a horse, and while he might
have used one of the farm animals,
yet Morton thought they might be
wanted at the station frequently. and
additional horse was kept at the
expense for Mr.. Hyslop's
use.
Made T%rifiins Explanations.
Morton was mex asked if he had
anything to say with reference to Mr..
and Prof. Buffum's testimony,
and made trifing explanations and
lamentations Of previous state
pents.
Would Not Charge Fraud.
Then Mr.. Henderson wound up the

THE voRAcIoUs SEA.

It Is Eating Up the Coast Between.
Nantes and Bordeaux.
During the past eighteen months thu
sea has been making a persistent at
tack upon the low lying coast between
Nantes and Bordeaux. At a place
known as the Belle Henriette, between
Tranche and Aiguillon-sur-Mer, to the
north of La Rochelle, a bay has beer
formed 1000 meters wide and 300 me
tiers deep. This result of eighteen
months erosion is sufficiently alarm
ing.
The sea began by sweeping away {
vineyard and part of a farm and ther
pulled down the road which ran paral
lei to the sea. Another road was con.
structed a hundred meters farther
back, but even this is being threatened
for the sea is now within twenty me
tiers OF the new road, which may be
obliterated at any moment. BEHIND

which will certainly be covered by the
sea at a very early date unless meas
