Kidding the Country of prairie Doc

Kidding the Country of Prairie DOGS.
Washington.-Att made last
spring at poisoning prairies dogs in
national forests on an extensive scale
seem to have been highly successful
in ridding selected areas of these
small pests, and plans are now being
made to carry on the work much
more widely next year.
The first experiments in this line
we're made in New Mexico by stock
man who has since entered the for
est service. In 1901, DR.. G. Hart
Merriam, chief of the division of bio
logical survey of the department of
agriculture, made report upon "The
Prairie Dog of the Great Plains," in
which the damage done by the dogs
was pointed out and various methods
of poisoning them were suggested.
This report of DIR. Merriam's may be
said to have blazed the way for practf4
ical work in prairie dog extermina-
tion.
Prairie dogs are very obnoxious to
the stockmen. for they devour much
grass and undermine the surface of
the ground with their burrows. Where
they establish themselves the de-
struction Of the range is only ques-
tion of time.
The poison is prepared by coating
wheat with preparation of strych-
rine. cyanide of potassium, anise oil,
and molasses. When a sufficient
quantity is ready, the poisoned wheat
is carried to the field of operations.

A fight following a wedding cele-
bration in North Amboy last night
resulted in eleven men being arrested
and fined $40 each by Recorder Pick
ersgill this morning.
According to the story of PATROL
men Gutowski and Kozusko, who ar
rested the men with the assistance
of Patrolman Andrew Jensen, short
ly after 1880 o'clock this morning,
the gang attacked John Sentipal, of
131 Cortlandt street under the Cen
trail railroad bridge on Hall avenue,
and cut his head badly.
The trouble started at wedding
celebration on Hall avenue and it
was alleged that the eleven prisoners
who are known as members of the
Dublin" gang, went there to create
disturbance. They had some words
with Sentipal, who was acting as a
waiter, and, when he left the place
to escort some ladies home, they
followed and attacked him.
Patrolman Gutowski heard the
cries of the injured man and ran to
the scene. Seeing that a free fight
was in progress he raped for PATROL
man Kozusko and started in to arrest
tho men. They fed, when they saw
the policemen, but the officers after a
chase which lasted over an hour,
landed all of them in the lookup.

Startling Statement in Police
Court Today
SOLD BEER TO l4-YEAR-OLD GIRL

Mike Yatsko, thirty-eight years
old, proprietor of a saloon at SO
Catherine street, was fined $40 by
Recorder Pickersgill this morning on
charge of selling beer to a minor.
In the complaint, which was pre-
pared by City Attorney Hommann,
the saloonkeeper was alleged to have
sold a pint of beer on Saturday night
last to Valentin Jadacheck, a four
teen-year-old girl.
Yatsko admitted selling her the
beer, but said that she had been sent
to get 1t for her fathers supper. The
recorder said that he had no business
to sell to children.
The saloonkeeper said that he
could go and find many others who
do the same thing continually. He
wanted to know why they hadn't been
arrested. He said he had no money,
but promised to pay the $40 this af-
ternoon. A friend shortly afterward
produced the amount and Yatsko was
released.
Patrolman Gutowski was the com
plainant.

OF DUNCAN
Engineer Marsh Found More
Stone Than Smith in Streets
MaCadamized by Plaintiff.
WOODBRIDGE HEARING TODAY

The taking of testimony in Wood

continued before John w. Beekman,
in the National bank directors room
at 10 o'clock this morning.
Engineer Franklin Marsh, of Rah-
way, who did the stalking and gave
the lines on Second street, Grove
street and other Woodbridge thor
oughfares recently macadamized by
Thomas #. DUNCAN. He was the
first witness called for the planting
He testified as to the depth Of good
macadam and he referred to book
authorities.
Mr.. Marsh's testimony regarding
the depths of macadam in Grove
streets and others was little more
in every case than that given by
Township Engineer Forrest l.. Smith.
Mr.. Marsh testified that, In making
seven to seven-and-one-eighth inches
OF stone.
In Second street, Mr.. Marsh said,
he found seven inches OF macadam
and over eight inches of 1t in places.
How much over eight inches, he could
not say. Robert Adrain, for the pros
ecution, questioned Mr.. Marsh close
ly regarding the relative wear and
tear of macadam during years
time The engineer replied that the
locality, filing and elements had a
great to do with that. He testified
that such roads usually wear down an
inch in a year. He testified to hav-
ing seen roads disappear. He was
understood to have meant that in
sirgle year, and counsel for the de-
Tense laughed. Mr. Marsh testified
that twenty-five per cent. of binder
Is the proper amount for such roads.
Engineer Smith, in his testimony,
stated that ten per cent. was proper.
In Freeman street, Mr.. Marsh tes-
titled that he found six and three
eighths to seven and one-quarter
inches Of macadam. On that thor
oughfare, the engineer said, the loss
was due to wind, rain and wear Mr..
Marsh's tests were all made follow
ing Engineer Smiths.
Mr.. Marsh said that he could not
account for all the loss of macadam
on any of those roads. He testified
to having made the tests, but said
he was not in charge of the macad-
amizing, other than to give the re-
quired levels. He said that he did
not know what sort Of binder was
used on Grove and other streets. At
one time Mr.. Marsh said shale was
not proper binder and he testified to
finding 1t on one street, he thought.
Later he took back his answer and
said that shale was not improper
binder, though there was better ma
terial used for that purpose Through

Expert testimony was given on
behalf of Heron near the close of
the case yesterday afternoon, by DR..
W, q. Ramsay, who declares that
Heron is an alcoholic paranc lc and
has delussons that the Masoni lodge
is prosecuting him with the result
that he has been ruined. Brooding
over this wrong which he imagines
he is suffering led him to act as he
did in ending Rev Mr.. Prickitt's life.
DR.. Ramsay, of Perth Amboy, was
the first witness called of the four
doctors in the case. DR.. Cotton, the
head of the state hospital at Tren-
ton, was put on the stand this morn
ing and in rebuttal DR.. Evans, of the
Morris Plains asylum, and DR.. F. M.
Donohue, Of this city, were called to
Offset the medical testim ony of the
defense.
Do Not Deny Crime.
I'VE do not deny" said Lawyer
Cowenhoven in opening the case for
the defense, that Heron fired the
fatal shot which brought sorrow into
this home. If this man Heron, in
cold blood, deliberately took the life
of that man the law will fix the PEN
atty and that justly.
Heron may have fired the shot,
but we deny that at that time he
was Archibald Heron himself. We
shall show that he had not been en-
dowed with all the powers Of reason.
He had complained of his head
troubling him since his imprison-
ment and a sunstroke. On that dg-
he was not morally or legally RI
sponsible for his act He was unable
afrto IN hot RI oh
wrong. He had no knowledge of the
conception or result of his act.
"The fact that he brooded over
what he thought to be unfair treat
ment and that society was against
him preyed upon his mind so that
he did not know what he did. We
will not stop there. We will put n
expert testimony on this line that
will be strong In itself. And now
ba1ishing all prejudice and feeling
do unto this man, gentlemen of the
jury, what you would have him do
to You were you similarly situated" !"
First for the Defense.
Thomas Horn, the first witness for
the defense, testified to hearing Her
ron speak Of his being wronged when
Jailed. He had employed Heron.
Patrick GdlSHoy gave ike testimony.
He spoke of Heron being a little off
when intoxicated and declared that
he did not think he was altogether
right any way. He thought Mr..
Prickitt and Marshal Fouratt.
against whom Heron had such
feeling, we're alright The audience
laughed at one of his answers and
Gafeney MADE griinac5s at them.
The court requested him to act more
orderly. On leaving the stand he
thoughtlessIy put out his hand and
shook hands with Heron.
Henry " iiiiians, q cciored man,
had heard Heron speak of his being
unjustly treated. He had told him
. to forget HIS troubles and not worry
scout them. He said Heron acted
aarly after his Imprisonment at
