Secretary Roofs
Story of the Turk

- ECRETARY ROOT relates the
following queer case OF legal
Jurisprudence that was told him
by a Turkish diplomat.
It appears that a mechanic fell from
a roof into the street upon a wealthy
old Turk and killed him. The son Of
the deceased caused the arrest OF the
workman. who was uninjured. and had
him taken before the cadi. with whom
he used all his influence to have tire
prisoner condemned.
But the mans innocence was clearly
established and nothing could sat
isfv the dead mans son save the law
Of retaliation. Thereupon the vener-
able cadi graveiy directed that the
workman be placed upon the exact
spot where the victim OF the accident
stood. When this was done the cadi
turned to the son and said:
NOW. you may go 10 the roof OF the
house and fall down upon this man
and kill him Il you can"

damage by Storm in Baker.

Logan Schaffer, of Pleasant VAL
ley, was in the city yesterday and re-
ported that the storm of Sunday af-
ternoon did great damage to the
crops of that section. Mr.. Schaffer
lost his apple crop of about 700
boxes, amounting to $500. George
Rizor lost a large amount of hay
and Is pigs. Other farmers lost
heavily, but the amount of loss is not
known.
The storm broke about o'clock
Sunday afternoon and the hail lasted
for 10 minutes. During that time
inches of hail stones fell, some of the
stones being as large as mans fist
and others one inch in diameter. The
fruit on the trees was knocked off and
cut to pieces while the water washed
away much of the hay. The path of
the storm was mile wide.-Baker
