ment. and. according to Commissioner

AZ 600 square yards. and the amount OF
vitrifed block gutter at 3.100 square

ATTORNEYS ADDRESS JURY
CONTINUE SUNNIN0.UP ARaU.
MENTs IN LAND FRAUDS CASE.
Nessrs- Birnsy and vaadsrbser
Speakers This Aftsrnoon, Xr.
Pugh Having Concluded.

The close of the first Of the final ar
guments covering the governments case
against Messrs. Hyde. Benson, Dimond
and Schneider. in the land frauds trail.
and the opening Of the arguments by At
torneys Birney and Vanderbeer on be-
half Of the defendants, Benson and
Dimond. respectively. occupied all the
time today Of Justice Stafford and the
Jury in Criminal Court, No. I. Assistant
Attorney General A. 3. Pugh. who talked
all Of yesterday. reviewing the tremen-
dous mass OF evidence presented during
ten consecutive weeks Of the trial. re-
sumed his argument this morning. finish
ing just At the hour for the usual recess.
1880 o'clock. Mr.. Birney followed I'm
mediately afterward. and he was talking
at the hour this report closed. 1; was
planned that Mr.. Vanderbeer should have
afternoon.
Mr.. Pugh plainly showed the strain Of
his great task today. and many times
this morning his voice sank almost to q
husky whisper. but not once was there
dimfnution Of the earnestness which
has characterized his entire effort
throughout the trial. Mors interest was
manifested In the trial this morning than
at any time In the past two months
nearly all Of the seats in the courtroom
ed closely to the final summary OF the
record.breaking case.
r. lndulgss in Sarcasm.
The government attorney again paid
his respects to Schneider. Hyde and Ben
SON. and once more his voice rang with
sarcasm as he asked the question whether
II could be reasonably supposed that
Hyde did not know about the bribery
by Benson Of Harlan and Walk. the gen.
erai land Office clerks. and Grant l. Tag
CART. the forest ranger In California.
Most OF the morning. however. was de-
voted to analyses from the governments
standpoint. Of the letters which passed
between Hyde and Dimond. principally
while Dimond was in this city prosecuting
Hyde's cases before the general land
were read by the attorney. and he declar-
ed that no other hypothesis was tenable
except that Dimond knew all about the
illegal methods alleged to have been
pursued by Hyde in getting land applica-
tions and all about every ramif1cation OF
the conspiracy.
II claim there Is enough evidence in
these letters alone TO connect Dimond
with this conspiracy" Mr.. Pugh said
but we have more. We have the anony-
nous letters which the uncontradicted
has shown to you were written on the
same typewriter which, the testimony
has shown, was in Mr.. Dimonds ONCE.
MT Shearman's testimony also has shown
that the pen-prfnted anonymous letters
were In the same handwriting AZ the ad
mitted Dimond exemplars."

HOLDING THE COW
 FOR IDENTIFICATION
Negro Tried To Sell Animal Last Week and 1t Is Now In Hands
 of City.

The police department has under sur veillance an unclaimed, unidentified, crumpled horned COW which it is patient ly caring for, awaiting the appearance of the owner. On last Tuesday the COW appeared at Parks store on Avenue G and Twenty sixth street with rope tied around her neck and negro attached It the end of the rope. Strange to say the negro tried to sell the COW to the propri- etor of the store and at a great bargain The remarkably low price for which the negro would part with the animal aroused the suspicion of the prospective buyer and he reported the matter to the po- lice department. The negro was placed under arrest and the COW was placed under care at Parks store by the police department to await developments which have not materialized
 The animal is still being held for iden- tification if it was stolen. The letter "H' is cut on both of the cows horns and there are other marks that will make an identification easy.
