Ruffalo Herd,.

"There are not, all told, moro than 1,500 buffalo remaining in the United States and Canada" said MT. c. ]. Jones of Grand Canyon. Ariz. Mr. Jones has for years borne the sobri- quet of Buffalo Jones'" because of his efforts to perpetuate the bison breed. He is also distinguished for his successful experiments in crossing the buffalo with the domestic cattle. producing a high-bred animal. to which he has given the name of "ca- talo."
 The largest single herd of buffalo remaining" said he. lis owned by the Flathead Indians of Montana-about 400. The second largest Is on the Austin Corbin estate. in New Hamp- shire. Next comes the herd of Scotty Phillips. in North Dakota. and there Is also fair herd on the big ranch of Mir. Goodnight in the Texas pan handle. The catalo. cross between the bison and common cattle. is an animal that has the traits of both progenitors; not so wild and hard to manage as the buffalo. and yet good bit shyer than its dam."

The wenGel Court m.rr,...

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-At the ses. sion of the court martial held here try ing Captain Wendell one of the wit nesses was Edward Martini, employ ed about the battery's armory. He said he was hired by Captain Wendell at $4 day and swore he paid the cap tain $2 of this. He thought in all he had given Captain Wendell $9So. He testified he had seen liquor sold in the armory at balls and reviews and that two persons outside the battery had stabled their horses at the battery. Charles B. Streibel testified he was em- ployed in the armory as m engineer at $4 day, $1 of which, he swore, was to go to Captain Wendell The pay ments began in May, 1903, and contin- ued, he said, until January, 1905,

the note read, "The b. is here" Mrs. Thaw testified that ''the b." meant 'the blackguard," as Thaw always so referred to Stanford White.
 The only other essential point Mrs. Thaw was allowed to bring out in her testimony was the statement that the defendant never carried pistol except when in New York city. She was asked many other questions em- bodying various stories she had dis cussed with Thaw. including the all legged fate of girl who was said to have died in an almshouse and known to them as .'the pie girl' at the hands of Stanford White, but Mir. Jerome blocked every question with sustain ed objection.
 After compelling the defense to go Into the taking of expert testimony as to Thaw's insanity by his objections to Mrs. Thaw's testimony, Mir. Jerome next proceeded to block the testimony of Dr. Wagner as to the results of his six visits to the defendant in the Tombs and his tests as to the latters mental condition. Dr. Wagner was not allowed to go into the conversa- tion he had had with the defendant nor the conclusions he had reached from these conversations. He was confined to Mir. Jerome's continuous fusillade of objections to stating what he actually observed, and he declared his observations were so closely inter. laced with his questioning of the de, fendant that he did not know if he could separate them. A long argument over the point resulted in Mir. Delmas withdrawing any further questions as to the tests. contenting himself with asking Dr. Wagner to give his opinion of the hypothetical question covering the evidence in the case. The ques. ton was almost record breaking in length "a comprehensive resume of the entire case. including Mrs. Thaw's personal narrative.
 In his hypothetical question Mir. Del. mas accused Stanford White of having 'drugged" the Nesbit girl and of hav- ing attempted to renew ''communica- tion of relations" with her subsequent to her marriage. Mir. Jerome objected to these features of the question, and 1t was amended to embrace the evi- dence of record as to the disputed points. It was on the amended ques- tion that Dr. Wagner gave it as his opinion that Harry Thaw did not know. because of defective reason. that his act in killing Stanford White was wrong. Here the experts direct examination was ended. and he stepped aside for cross examination later. When he is taken in hand by Mir. Je- rome he will have to give detailed reasons for his opinion. pr. Evans of the New Jersey State Hospital For the Insane will be the next witness for the defense.
