charge and instructions delivered to
the jury in the Haywood murder case
this morning We're lengthy, making
altogether about twelve thousand
words Judge Wood at the outset
thanked the jury for the attentive
manner" in which they had performed
their duty. Judge Wood instructed
the jury not to consider that part of
the evidence bearing on the connec-
ton of Steve Adams with crimes COM
mitted in northern Idaho and the
evidence introduced by the defense
regarding the deportations in Coora-
do and the employment of Pinkerton
detectives by the Mine Owners AS
sociation on the ground that no prop
er connection with the case on trial
ihad been made in either case. After
quoting and explaining the indict-
ment on which Haywood was arrested
Judge Wood said:
"The court instructs this jury that
under the law no jury should con-
vict citizen of crime simply be-
cause there is strong reason to be-
lieve that he is guilty, but before the
jury can lawfully convict they must
be convinced of the defendants guilt
beyond all reasonable doubt. If it is
possible for you to reconcile the facts
in this case on any reasonable theory
with the innocence of the defendant,
| it is your duty to do so and find the
defendant not guilty"
After instructing the jury that proof
OF crimes other than the murder of ex.
Governor Steunenberg had been adj
mitted only for the purpose of show
ing conspiracy to accomplish certain
objects, Judge Wood continued:
1T makes no difference, however,
in this case what crimes have been
committed in Colorado in the Cour
d'Alenes or elsewhere, or who is re-
sponsible for the commission of such
crimes, If any there be, the defendant
cannot be convicted unless the state
has established beyond reasonable
doubt that he is guilty Of the felon-
ious killing of Frank Steunenberg."
Proof Necessary to Prove Conspiracy.
Judge Wood explained the nature
of proofs necessary to establish a
charge Of conspiracy and said:
1T is not essential to the formation
Of conspiracy that there should be
a formal agreement between the par
ties to do the act charged. 1t is sufi-
I cient If the minds OF the parties meet
understandingly SO as to bring about
an Intelligent and deliberate agree
ment to do such acts, or commit GER
tain crimes as charged, although such
agreement be. not manifested by any
formal words. If you believe in this
case from the evidence beyond rea-
sonable doubt that the defendant
aided, abetted, advised and encour-
aged the killing Of Frank Steunenberg,
then the defendant is guilty and It
would be imnlaterial whether he was
actually present at time of the killing
or not.
The law views with distrust the
testimony Of an accomplice on ac.
count OF the motive he may have for

Winter shelter for stock

With the approach Of the cold
months, as the farmer is making prep
arations for his comfort, he should not
forget to similarly provide for the ami
mails on the farm.
Especially young stock demand good,
warm shelter, and this should be pro-
vided for them before the real cold
weather sets in. Warmth to young
animal Is equal to moderate amount
Of food.
Animals exposed to the frosts and
storms of winter are almost sure to
catch cold, if not contract some other
disease that will either enfeeble them
or prove fatal.
Farmers that do not take this matter
into consideration often have animals
take sick and nope, and. perhaps. die,
without the fact for a moment being
taken into account that their sickness Is
due to the cruel exposure to which they
have been subjected.
Truly it has been said that the merci-
full man is merciful to his beast, and
the man who is not is not only unfit to
have the care OF animals, but deserves
tO lose them.

Fruit Trees and Grass.

Extended experiments recently con-
Quoted In England have shown clearly
that fruit trees suffer very materially,
and are often killed outright, when
grass Is allowed to grow under the tree
and close UP to the trunk. Various
probable reasons for this effect. such
as the removal of plant food and of
water by the grass, also the supposed
liberation of carbonic acid which might
prove injurious to the roots Of the
trees, were respectively demonstrated
to be outside the primary cause Of In
jury, and, finally, after seven years
work. it was concluded that the lnjuri-
Gus effect could only be due TO some
poisonous substance formed in the soil
by the roots of the grass.
On the other hand, 1t is a well-known
fact that in many instances consider
able difficulty is expressed in obtaining
growth of grass under trees. There
Is distinct evidence that plants produce
toxic conditions in the substance in
which they grow: as a rule the ex-
cretions given off by the roots Of GER
tain plant are more toxic to the same
or a nearly related plant than to plants
not so closely related The effect of
tree seedlings on the growth of wheat
was tested. and after eliminating as
cause Of injury, such factors as re-
moval Of plant Of food or water by the
tree roots, it seemed that the roots of
the latter had some direct effect on the
growth Of the wheat which suffered tn
all the experiments. The seedlings were
placed in plant pots, hence the roots Of
the tree and those Of the wheat plants
were In close contact
Trees Of various kinds were used IN
the experiments. and the retardlng in
fluence, although noted in every in
stance. differed in degree; cherry was
least active in checking growth, pine
most so. The conclusion arrived at
was that the effect Of trees on wheat
appears to be due to the excretion Of
substance by the trees toxic to wheat.

The Woodcock's Ear.

G. w. Whymper OF Big Run has just
brought to notice a curious point with
regard to the position Of the ear in the
woodcock. The snipc, it may be rcmem-
bered, are remarkable for the fact that
the external ear is placed under, instead
OF behind, the eye, as in other birds; but
in the woodcock il is placed in front If
the eye, and more so on one side Of the
head than on the other. This lack of
symmetry, furthermore, extends TO the
shape of the aperture, which is different
