Unable to Furnish II He Goes
Back to Jail.
PRELIMINARY HEARING HELD
Mayor Holds Cubbison's
Mayor Holds Cubbison s
Slayer to Grand Jury.
Degree of the Crime Is Determined
In Order to Admit the Accused to
Bail.

AS \ result of preliminary hear
ing in mayors court Friday morning,
George Hamnsr was bound over to
the grand jury on charge OF second
degree murder and his bond was
placed at $4,000. Hammer was ar
ragned on a charge OF first degree
murder the charge being preferred
through an affidavit filed by CAPTAIN
OF police A. l.. Bond. Hammer was
unable TO furnish bond and was re-
turned TO the county Jail where he
mas been confined since the time OF
his alleged crime last Sunday morn
ing. Tho attorneys for the defendant
were anxious that the bond be placed
at the sum of $2,500 as Hammer
would have been able to secure bail
In that amount
AL the conclusion OF the hearing
Mayor Scherff announced that he
would bind the prisoner over to the
grand Jury under $4,000 bond and
not nix the degree OF the crime. The
attorneys for both sides objected to
the decision owing to the fact that a
crime OF first degree murder is not
bailable. The court then promptly
iixed the crime at second degree muir
der.
NE trial began promptly at $3.50
O'Clock. The court room was occupied
TO its full standing and seating capa-
city anu for time it was feared
that the old cry building would not
bear " under the strain. There
seemed to be no cracking of timbers
and the walls did not spread more
than several inches. consequently no
great excitemnet resulted.
Charles Bennett was the first wit
ness called. He seemed very un-
willing to relate the details of the
cutting Ind his testimony was not
important. He declared that there
were great many things that he
didn't remember and the prosecuting
attorneys found 1t not an easy matter
TO draw him out
Frank Smith, young man aged
about 10. proved one OF the most i'm
portant witnesses before the court
He related the incidents leading up to
the killing In vivid manner. He
declared that HAMMER and Cubbison
had been quarrelins and that the lat
ter had asked him to go to the North
End parK and fight II out. He said
thai Hamner was heard to say ~

| titled that he was standing within a
few feet OF the men when the stab
bing took place. He declared that
Cubbison threw up his arms when
his assailant came at him with the
knife ald the next instant the blood
gushed from his throat and he sank
to the sidewalk. Smith declared
that af.er Hammer stabbed his enemy
he started to walk across the street,
then started on a. dead run, daming
into the alley south of the Fahey bank
He testified that he heard little OF
the quarrel preceding the fight. He
declared that Cubbisons attitude was
very aggressive.
Perhaps the most important wit
ness introduced in the hearing was
Fred Lutz, the north Main street bar
ber. Lutz testified that he saw Ham,

blood pushed from the latter's neck.
lie stated that he could not see what
Hammer had in his hand. He stated
that ne gept his eye on Hammer after
the stabbing. According to his story
Hammer walked to the center of Main
street, looked up and saw Lutz and
Joe Miller coming towards him. He
then started to run, the two in close
pursuit.. Lutz overlook him In the
alley back OF Headley's drug store.
Hammer backed up against the wall
gripping a pen knife in his right
hand and would not permit his pur-
suers To come near him. Later he
started to run and when Lutz faced
him again he had placed the knife in
his pocket. Lutz testified that HAM
ner gave him the knife when com
manded to do so and walked along
with MIN. The knilc was produced
In court and Lutz recognized II as
the one taken Off ,,of the prisoner.
The knife contains large blade
about three inches long which is
besmeared with blood.
Drs. ]. b. Taylor and James Will
son McMurray. the physicians who
attended Cubbison were placed on
the witness stand. They testified
that both the jugular vein and the
carotid artery were severed by the
knife blow and declared the wound
mortal one. They also testified
that there was a cut across the
knucs'es OF tine left hand.
Howard Bell was the last witness
placed on the stand His testimony
was much in favor of the defendant
he declared that he heard Cuobison
make the remark in the Bank res
taurant that he would kill Ham
ner II he so much as blackened his
eye. Bell stated that when Hammer
drew the kniIe from his pocket that
Cubbiscn Was fumbling in his coat
pocket as though in the act of Sc
curing weapon. Witness testified
that the fight was OF short duration
and that the mortal wound wis In
hictsd after an exchange OF only a
few blows. The attorneys for the
defendant spent considerable time in
the cross examination OF this wit
ness
The arguments OF the attorneys were
not brief considering the fact that
the occasion was only a preliminary
hearing. The talks were very en-

thusiasm was shown. The occasion

Insects always go through number

the spider has no such changes. A
young spider Is Of the same shape as
an old one. So you see that spiders
are not insects. All spiders spin webs
of some sort through all their lives
while no insect can spin wco Of any
kind after it has passed through it's
second change. The silkworm can spin
but when the sill1worm becomes a

a great many sorts of spiders such as

baby foxes who lived in the woods.
Their home was in a deep hole in the
ground, which had a long entrance,
called burrow. The father fox
was caught in trap and killed when
the children were quiet young, and
one day the mother also failed to come
home. The little foxes were very
lonely and so hungry that they did
not know what to do. In the after
noon Of that day a man who was
walking through the woods found the
mother of these three little babies lying
dead quiet near hole in the ground,
which had been made by a fox. He
thought to himself, perhaps there may
be some little foxes in the hole. And
they will be very hungry and very
likely almost starving for want OF
food
So he got shovel and set to work
digging the hole out very carefully.
Down and down he went with the
shovel. When he reached the bottom
he found three little foxes, and they
were quiet unable to look after them
selves. He began to wonder If his
great kind dog Nell" which he had
left at home would look after these
shy little creatures until they were
old enough to be turned out into the
woods again to look after themselves.
He took them home and let them
run loose in the yard where "Nell''
was chained up. There were some
drain pipes in the yard, and at first
these little foxes were SO frightened
that they ran up them and stayed
there about half an hour, when they
came out. "Nell' at once went to them
and looked after them for some weeks
almost the same as their mother
would have done. When they were old
enought to look after themselves off
they ran into the woods again.
I hope that in their own way they
did not forget to say" Thank YOU to
"Nell' for her kindness.

large black and gray Percheron mares
came and greeted us warmly, asked
use if we had come to stay, and when
we said We had, they told us we had
found a good home.
Almost every day the children came
to ulay with US. Sometimes they
would bring a bride apiece and
ride us.
There were twelve of the other
horses but three of them were young
and had been broke neither to har-
ness nor bride. The children took
turns riding the other horses but they
always had to draw straws to see who
would ride Lady and l.
On Saturday we were always taken
to the barn and on Sunday we were
driven to church once, twice or three
times each Sunday. The church was
in pretty village All
around it were trees to which we
were tied. We were always glad to
go for here we met so many horses.

saved the baby.
Little Ethel Black lived on a large
farm with her father, mother, and hoS
two brothers.
Her brothers names were Harry
and Ralph.
Ethel was three years old, Harry
was five and Ralph was eight
On Christmas the boys each got a
new pair of skates, and, like all boys.
were anxious to try them. So the
next day they asked their mother if
they might go on the pond and skate.
She told them they might So they
started and little Ethel cried to go
with them, but her mamma told her
she could not go.
1t had thawed some that day and
they had not been on the pond long
when they heard the ice crack. Their
papa was in the barn, and they ran
and told him. He told them they must
not go on there any more.
Ethel, just at this time, slipped out
of the back door and went to the pond
She went on (she knew how far tie
boys had taken her once) and
started to go across, when the ice
broke and she fell in.
She screamed and her father heard
and started to the pond.
Rover, who was with them heard
too, and bounded off towards the
pond and caught Etheps dress and
pulled her out on the ice just as ner
father got there. 81
They petted and praised him very
much.
