TO BREAK COLT OF KICKING.
Suggestions Which Will Prove Helpful
In Handling Animal.

There is a cause for colt getting
the habit of kicking, just as in all
other habits, and it is necessary to
first remove the cause before the de-
sired results can be obtained. Many
colts are frequently veXed with i'm
portunity at this and an earlier age,
which is something they dislike, and
to defend themselves they will either
bite or kick. Thus a habit of this ma
ture IL usually formed.
l do not know of any continuance
that could be used on colt to break
it of the habit of kicking, says wri-
ter in Farmers Voice, that would not
at the same time be of more injury
than benefit.
If the colt kicks the sides of the
stall he may be broken by hanging a
stout stick of wood by a rope from
the ceiling above, so that when he
kicks this is struck. If he kicks from
nervousness, always speak to him as
you step behind him. and If he is
treacherous it would be well to ha re
looped cord over his nose, running
back out Of the STALL and as you ctep
up and speak, give it a jerk. which
will give you chance to slip in. 1t
is not best to show the least fear I'M
der any circumstances. Once he finds
you are afraid of him he will not for
get it, and he will not be nearly so
easy to handle when he becomes
older as he would If you give him to
understand that you are his master
If he kicks while being brushed or
rubbed, tie cord around his neck.
and pass loop around his lower jaw,
holding the other end while brushing
or rubbing him. At every attempt to
kick give 1t sharp pull, and he will
soon give 1t up.
By merely tying the tips of his ears
together will perhaps break him. A
colt cannot think of two things at
once, and by attracting his attention
to something else he will not think of
kicking.

Interesting Discovery Of Bones at

Edinburgh.-While eXcavating the

of Bishop Sinclair, who helped build
the edifice, and those of the Wolf of

In Opening Address For Defense

ney is Criticized
sNEERs AND INsINUATloNs
Littleton Declares Jerome's Case Is
Made Up Of RidicuIe of Serious
MatterLareest Crowd at Present
Trial Hears Final Arguments in the
Famous Case.

New York, Jan. 29.-Martin w. Lit
tleton, chief counsel for Harry n.
Thaw today made his appeal to the
jury which is to pass judgment upon
his client. Before a crowded court
room the attorney devoted himself to
demonstrating that Thaw was clearly
insane when he killed Stanford White.
Littleton declared that the serious
evidence of the defense had been met
only by sneers and insinuations from
District Attorney Jerome. Thaw's in
sanity, he said, was not thing born
of exigency, but was ground by hered-
ity into the very history of the man.
Lttleton said he was convinced de-
fense had produced facts tending to
show that Thaw was insane beyond
all reasonable doubt, tho the law had
not imposed that duty upon him. 1t
was for the prosecution to prove that
Thaw was sane, and Lttleton asserted
he could not understand how Jerome
could come before the jury and claim
he had fulfilled the burden placed upon
him and ask for Thaw's conviction Of
murder. The speech was listened to
with the closest attention by the jur-
ors.
Demand for seats at the Thaw trial
today so far exceeded the capacity of
the court chamber that the police in
charge had their hands full In handling
the disappointed crowds. For the first
time since the taking of testimony
begun, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had a
seat in the court room. Mrs William

took his place on the bench.

naming away from the court room

last year, was absent when court con-
vened today His assistant. Garvan,
was present, and took copious notes

Des Moines the coming winter. AS a
matter of courtesy all eyes turned to
Hancock county as the place from
whence the candidate Should come, tho
representatives of this county were not
backwards about suggesting a favor

lowed to announce any one definitely.

BURNED TO DEATH
Peter Ackerman, Aged Fifty. Who
Lived Alone in Shanty Near Allison,
Was Consumed in the Flames.
Special to Times-Republican.


Allison, Jan. 29.-About midnight
Friday evening some of the neighbors
near the home of Peter Alderman, saw
that the small house in which he lived.
about mile and half northwest of
Allison, was afire, and hurried to the
place. On arriving there they found
they We're too late to do anything to-
ward saving the place, as the little
building had burned to the ground, so
they returned to their homes. When
morning came the ruins were still
smouldering, and people were quickly
notified that the house was burned
and that it's sole occupant, Peter Ack-
erman, was nowhere to be found. A
large number from town went out to
the scene. Justice Elliott was immed-
lately notified that there was a prob.
ability that the owner of the house
was consumed by the flames, and that
a coroner's inquest would probably
be required. In raking among the
ashes and Goals, charred portions of
bones We're found, also a portion of
what was supposed to be the hip
bone. A coroners jury was summoned
from those present, composed of I. N.
Neal, x. D. Kramer and Harm Kramer,
and q. thorough examination of the
discovered parts and of the burned
premises was made. Nothing sufficient
of the body was found to justify the
jury returning verdict without the
assistance of a surgeon, and D. S. r..
Burroughs was called as a witness,
examined the parts and found and pro-
nounced them human bones, where
upon the jury returned a verdict.
The unfortunate victim had lived in
this little old house entirely alone
since the death of his mother, some
years ago, at the same place. He was
a man about so years old. quiet and
hard working. Two brothers, Harm
Alderman, and brother in Dakota,
are left to mourn his sad death.
The funeral was held at the NJ. E.
church Monday, under the auspices of
the German Lutherans, and the re-
mains were inferred in the German
cemetery.
