gathered and made snapshots OF the

Another car which has been doing
splendid service in this time OF food
in the eastern part of the country is
the Elmore. Recently the waters of
the river washed a span from the
Cherry street bridge, which is the
most important bridge from Toledo
TO a number of its suburbs The loss
of the bridge necessitated crossing on
another one mile down the river.
One of the ElmOre car owners con-
ceived the idea Of carrying the people
from one bridge TO the other. 1t is
needless to say several of his friends
became interested and soon quite a
service had been established. The
originator of the scheme has not quite
paid for his ElmOre from this venture
but the chances are he will break
about even before the bridge is suffi-
ciently repaired for use.

proceedings, demanding that the varia-
tions from the issue by both sides
should cease. He said:
The time of the fling Of the pend
ing motion has been so long ago that
the exact issue has evidently been lost
sight of. February 6 last the defense
interposed an objection to the proceed
ings and applied for permission to take
affdavits. The court at that time, in
view of the attitude of the defense. ex-
pressed the fear that much extraneous
matter would be introduced and dnti-
mated that the defense should exhaust
all opportunities TO obtain affidavits,
, and I now reiterate that admonition to
both sides.
VERDICT TO BE RIGHTEOUS
"As tc the matter of a fair trial for
the defendant. the court proposes that
this individual shall be treated with all
the rights and courtesies afforded by
law, and the courts judgment, when
rendered after fair and due considera-
tion of all material facts. will be right
eous. But the court proposes that the
duly constituted servants of the people
shall be treated as such.
Ach stood up to reply. but was
checked by the judge, who ordered him
back into his seat, saying:
Il apprehend your position, Mr. Ach,
and don't care TO have the time of the
court consumed in traversing the path
you propose to traverse. The motion
is denied"
Ach was unabashed. Up he jumped
again.
Very well, then, your honor" he
said. but l now propose, by formal and
separate motion, to draw the attention
of the court to the matters filed in
writing. which, we charge, show in
themselves cause for investigation. 4"
The plea was recorded.
The trial was then postponed to this
morning. the delay being to allow the
attorneys for Ruef to make another
attempt to procure the missing affida-
Wits.

instance of Abe Ruef upon Chief Biggy

 Touches Fire.


 The three Douglas men, Aessrs- Strong, Howertson and Turner, who were so painfully injured in the explo- sion of dynamite on the Johnson ranch, near Silver creek Monday, are resting as easily as can be expected. None of the men are injured fatally, though all perhaps may loose their sight. . The fingers of Mir Howertson's hands are broken, his face is badly cut and lis eyes are closed. At his home on Twentieth street yesterday he was able to talk little and told a friend something of the accident He said there were about dozen sticks of powder which had gotten wet and they set out to dry by the fire. He said they were placed on end around the fire, where the men also were seated. He says he thinks the Heat melted the glyce-ine, which ran down the stick and exploded.

 The subject of MT.

Fenno will leave this afternoon for Bisbee, where he will be for twelve days conducting similar meetings. and it is expected that there will be many at the train to say good bye.-International American,
