ground, but prefers an elevated situa-

soil to light one. Therefore, plum

Automatic Wagon Brake.

A wagon brake which operates au-
tomatlcally has been recently patented
by Mississippi man. The ordinary ar
rangement of attaching foot lever be-
meath the drivers seat, connecting with
the brake, Is entirely dispensed with.
The driver Is not required to handle
the brake in any way, the simple halt
ing of the horses only being necessary.
AS shown in the illustration, the brake
is pivoted so as to come In contact
with the rim of the rear wheel. On
the extreme outer end Of the shafts is
vertical pivoted lever, one end of
which connects with rod extending
to the brake. The upper end of this
lever is connected by strap or chain
to the harness on the horse. AS shown,

RUSSELL RELEASED
BY HABEAS CORPUS

William C'Red") Russell was .releas-
ed this afternoon from the custody OF
Sheriff w. W. Jackson through a ha-
beas corpus action brought by his at
torneys Lowenberg & Coen.
The action in the district court this
afternoon Is said by Russeil's attorneys
te be an echo of the famous Crow
Russell affa.ir which shook all Eldon a
couple of years ago.
Accordingto a statement made this
r1orning by Attorney j. s. Lowenberg
about q year ago Russell was arrest
cti or charge which grew out of a
crap game. He was bound over to the
grand jury and was released in order
TO allow him to get bond.
but he never came back. He left
90 on, and until about a week ago was
travelling through the west and south
wosr, Then he returned and was ar
rested on the old charge.
The habeas corpus proceeding was
bought to effect his release, 1t being
claimed that 1t was not lawful to hold
Russell on the old mittemus issued q
year ago, and also that the evidence at
the hearing last April when he was
bound over to the grand jury was not
sufficient to warrant this action on the
part of the committing magistrate.
The attorneys for Russell claim that
the whole proceeding Of year ago was
iE the nature of a conspiracy to keep
Russell out of Eldon and that the
prosecution was caused originally by
feeling engendered from the Crow
Russell affair. r.
This was the shooting ARRAY which
occurred at Eldon Two years ago last
January, when Russell was, it was
thought at the time, mortally injured

One week later, in the middle OF
January, Frederick CORTLAND Hardy
crossed Lake Baikal to Irkutsk and
there took the magnificent train
luxus," nine-days' railway journey
to Moscow. Though he was going on
important business, yet he felt stran.
gely agitated over the fact that he
was soon to see the Princess again.
With the agitation, too, was mingled
a certain degree Of misgiving and
foreboding. He was not sure that his
seeing her would conduce to his peace
of mind.
He was accompanied by his secre-
tary, Wang the Korean boy, who had
rendered himself indispensable
through his genius for details.
