FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. 6. 1908.
Fuses Ar. Made to Blow Out.

With everybody travelling more or
less. usually more. In electrically driv.
en- cars aud trains. the time has Ger
tainly come for general appreciation
OF the fact that the blowing out OF
fuses is nothing to excite alarm.
To be startled-tO Jump" as the
saving is-when this happens is the
privilege Of all except the professional
electricians. The latter are bound by
professional pride to show perfect I'M
FEASIBILITY even when the sudden fash
singes their fingers. and 1t is delight
full TO see how many Of them have at
tanned to this command OF theiI
nerves. To jump is one thing. however
while TO fall into a senseless panic is
quite another.
To blow out is the duty and destiny
of fuses. and when they have done IT
such danger as there was is all over.
Nothing worse than delay can follow
unless the passengers proceed to make
wild rushes for which there is no need
whatever. Travellers should keep these
facts carefully in mind.--New York
Times.

CFrom saturdays Daily)

After hearing the evidence pro-
scnted in the case against Malcolm
Hanks the young man arrested sun
day at Bowie on charge of misappro-
Nriatlon Of diamond ring, Justice
Of the Peace Holman yesterday aft
ernoon dismissed the case and re-
leased the defendant on ground Of
insufficicncy Of evidence.
Hanks, according to the testimony
introduced by the state, obtained the
diamond from Atcn & Martin to show
for the purpose Of selling chances
on it.. He was TO get for this work,
one half OF all the money obtained
from sale above 5000. If all the
chances had been sold they would
have brought a total OF $3.50 and
would have Melted Hanks $50. lie
showed the diamond to number Of
men but did not succeed in selling
any chances. Saturday night he con-
cluded to go to his home near Hous-
ton. Before he went H. p. Canode,
of the Amarillo hotel, where he had
been boarding, endeayored to collect
ISIS for board which Hanks owed.
Hanks exhibited the diamond, said
that it was his and that his father
had sent it, TO him Mr.. Canode flu
ally gave him 500 for the ring and
Hanks after deducting the SIS left
with the rest Of the money. Aten d
Martin heard the next day of his de
parture and of the deal at the hotel
and Immediately set the officers on
Hanks trail with the result that the
young man was oyertaken at Bowie.
The attorneys for the defense,
Bowman & Gustavus. argued. that
the evidence was insufficient TO sus-
tain a charge Of embezzlement and
that the breach of trust involved in
'ne transaction did not amounts to
embezzlemcnt The defense intro
