Do not under any circumstances al
low the carcasses of dead fowls to lay
around and decay in the hot sun. Your

as you can count them. Bury deep

careless along this line and it means
great loss.

his Charge which was. for the most
part, decidedly technical, dealing with
the law as to the responsibility of an
insane man and showing to what ex-
tent insanity must be proven before a
verdict of not guilty could be rem
dered.
While the general belief is that the
jury will fail to agree, counsel for both
sides profess to be very confident that
a. verdict in their favor will be re-
turned. If the jury should acquit it
Is expected that Justice Garretson will
at once commit Captain Hams to the
asylum for the criminal insane at Mat
teawan. He will open the way for a
new legal battle as in that event the
captains counsel says he will at once
appeal to have the captain turned over
to the Federal authorities and commit
ted to the army asylum at Washing

posed by District Attorney Dewitt
