WATCH SWALLOWED BY
cow; SIX YEARS IN LUNG
Timepiece Found in Bovine's Breath
ing Apparatus-Butcher and
Farmer Claim lt-May
Go to Court

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 4.-Dr. D. B.
Bell, one of the best known veterinarians
in this city, has been called in to vocuh
for the finding of a gold watch in the
lung of COW by F. Dryden, butcher.
and also appointed referee in contro-
versy over the claim to the watch made
by the original owner, Israel Rudge.
DR.. Bell says that in the spring of 1901
Mr.. Rudge was at work in his barnyard
when calf got hold of his waistcoat
and chewed it up. He could not find his
gold watch, but when he sold the COW a
few months ago to Mr.. Dryden he said
he believed the animal had swallowed his
gold watch six years before and jokingly
told the butcher to look out for it.
Mr. Dryden found the watch in the left
lung of the COW.
Dr. Bell holds that the watch belongs to
the butcher. The farmer is not satisfied
and may go to court.

tian Scientist church, underwent a mem
tai examination late today by the mas
ters who had been appointed to deter
mine her competency in business matters.

Mrs Eddy received her visitors in her
private sitting room and by arrangement
with her counsel she answered a series
of questions asked of her by the three
masters, who took turns in examining
her upon various points.
Judge Aldrich began the interview by
assuring Mrs. Eddy of his intention to
make the call as agreeable as possible
to her.
Mrs. Eddy thanked him, adding my
only difficulty is a slight deafness. I can
see to read common plea but l can't hear
distinctly without some difficulty"

life insurance coming and asked Mrs.
Eddy's advice how to invest the pro-
ceeds. Not understanding him at first,
Mrs. Eddy replied that sne put no money
into life insurance. God insures my
life" she said.
Then thinking that Judge Aldrich de-
sired information as to her own Invest
ment she described the trusteeship Gre
ated by her in March, saying that 1t was
entirely her own idea.
In reply TO questions by DR.. Jelly, Mrs
Eddy started to describe the development

spiritualism when the masters withdrew
from the room, explaining that they
thought she was growing weary.
Returning after a brief interval they
heard Mrs. Eddy describe, in answers to
questions from Attorney Parker her
method of life.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 14.-Former
Supervisors Thomas f. Lonergan,
Charles Boxton and Michael W. Coffey
testified for the prosecution today in the
trial of former Vice President Louis
Glass of the Pacific States Telephone
company, charged with bribery. They
repeated in detail their confessions of
accepting each a bribe of $4,000 from
Agent Halsey of the Pacific States COM
pany to vote against the issuance of a
competitive franchise to the Home Tel
ephone company and Coffey told also of
sums paid him similarly by the repre-
sentative of other public utility corpora
tions.
In the cross-examination of Coffey, At
torney Deimas offered in evidence, for the
purpose of impeaching Coffey as wit
ness, the affidavit signed by Coffey and
seventeen other supervisors in the fall of
1906 to the effect that no one of them
had been guilty of any crime. To this
offer Assistant District Attorneys Heney
and OGara objected at length.

The objection was overruled by Judge
Lawlor and the affidavit was admitted
in evidence. The cross-examination of
Lonergan and Boxton will be taken up
tomorrow.
Assistant District Attorney Francis j.
Heney in his opening statement inti-
mated that since the trial of Glass on
the charge of bribing Supervisor Boxton,
which resulted in disagreement, the
state had obtained new and convincing
evidence which will be sufficient to con-
vict without the testimony of Second
Vice President Emil j. thinner to the
effect that Glass signed the checks on
which Theodore V. Haisey got the money
with which to corrupt the various SUI
pervisors. thinner has steadfastly re-
fused to take the witness stand.
Two witnesses were called at the morn
ing session, William Thomas, a represen-
tative of the Home Telephone company
who testified that his company had a
franchise application pending before the
board of supervisors at the time of the
alleged bribery and John H. Ryan, clerk
of the board of supervisors, who corro-
