FATHER DRAWN ON
JURY TO TRY OWN
SON FOR MURDER

Allentown. Pa. March Among the
names that came from the jury wheel
when the panel was drawn for the
April criminal sessions. to try George
,Schaeffer for the murder of Leopold
f.rmann. the Philadelphia jeweler, was
that of Osville Schaefer. father of the
accused. The coincidence is regarded
as remarkable that a father should be
selected to try his son for murder. The
jury wheel was filed months ago. be-
fore the murder occurred. Schaeffer's
father lives in Allentown. When the
defendant WAS baby his mother di-
vorced her husband on a charge OF
cruel treatment. and she was afterward
married To Oliver Hunsicker, who
reared the boy as his own son.
After the tragedy had occurred and
Schacffer had been arrested. the father
said II have not seen that boy since
he was months old, out I'd swear by
him
When Judge Trexler was told of the
drawing of the alleged murderer's s
father on the jury panel. he said i've
read of such things in fiction. but moth
ing like it ever came under my obser-
walton. The juror will. of course, lie
excused. In such case the common
wealth has a right to challenge for
cause.

FEDERAL COURT
HAS JURISDICTION

Sioux Falls. s D., Mch. Judge
Garland of the United States
court, as result of argu-
ments made before him today de
cided that his court had jurisdic-
ton to the exclusion of all other courts
in the case involving the act Of the
state legislature in reducing passenger
fares in South Dakota from to cents
per mile He discussed the question
AS to whether the state supreme court
or federal court had Jurisdiction in the
case.
Judge Garland held that this jurisdlc-
tion had existed from the time of fillns
the first bill in the case by which the
state board of railroad commissioners
sought to reduce passenger rates to
21s cents per mile. Railroads in the
present case involving the 2-cent rate
are permitted to file their suits as sup
Elemental to the original suits.

.SUFFRACISTS WIN
THEIR BATTLE IN
THE LEGISLATURE
House Reverses Itself and
Passes Measure to Please
the Ladies.

Pierre. S. d.. Feb. 27.-Notw ithstand-
ing that the house defeated an equal
suffrage resolution early in the session,
1T yesterday reversed itself, reconsid-
cred the vote by which the resolution
was lost, and passed the resolution by
n vote of 6S to IS. The same measure
passed the senate some time ago prac-
tically without opposition. hence the
question will be voted on at the next
state election. The equal suffrage work.
erS who have kept steadily busy in sup
port of their pet project since the de-
feat scored by the house, are now much
elated over their victory.
Sasse's pure drug bill got tangled up
in the senate when an effort was made
to place its enforcement in the hands
of the food commissioner instead of the
state board of pharmacy and it was put
over until next Tuesday without set
tling the question:
The house took up senate bills on
its calendar and passed the following:
To require transcript of the records

STATE TREASURER CALLS
$4,000 WARRANTS

Pierre s d, Mich 1.-State Treas
urer johnson is not allowing any great
accumulation of the general fund tc
pile up before he calls in outstanding
warrants. BY this means he saves the
state quite a little interest money.
which would be added by allowing the
warrants to rum a little longer time.
AS he has pledged himself to take no
interest on the state funds. there is
no special object in allowing warrants
to stand out until the fund is large
before making call. and his recent
call Cor $4,000 of warrants shows his
inclination along that line.

the airship, and when we got where
the fence narrowed up at the corral
Pa let the airship come down to the
ground, and anchored it to a stump
and yelled for the boss of the expedi-
tiOn and the men to come down out
Of the trees and help capture some Of
the best specimens, 80 they came
down and tore out the wings of the
fence and placed them across so we had
the buffalos in pen, and then Mr..
Hagenbach, who had been getting 4
little jealous of Pa, came up to him
and shook his hand and told him he
was a wonder in the capturing of wild
animals, and Pa said don't mention
1t, and Pa took the makings and made
himself cigarette and smoked up, and
Mr.. Hagenbach asked Pa how we were
going to get the buffalos out of the cor
raj, cause they were fighting each
other in the far end of the pen, and
Pa said you just wait, and he sent
for the cages, enough to hold about ten
of the buffalos, and we let the gas out
of the airship, and went into camp,
right there, and Pa bossed things for
about two days, until the buffalos got
good and hungry, and then we backed
the cages up to an opening in the
fence and put hay in the far end of
the cages, and the herd began to take
notice.
We wanted the big bulls and some
COWS, and nature helped us on the
bulls, cause they fought the weaker
ones away from the cages, and walked
right up the incline into the cages, and
Pa, went in and locked the doors, and
The Virginia enterprise., 1909-01-29

when we got the cages full Of bulls
and started to haul the cages to camp
by the aid of some of the negroes who
had returned alive, by lingo, the COWS
followed the cages with the bulls in,
and you couldn't drive them away.
We loaded the gas bag on to a sort
OF stone boat, and Pa rugged up a
couple of OK yokes and in some way
hypnotized few COW buffalos, so he
could drive them, and they hauled the
stone boat with the airship to camp
and we got there almost as soon as the
cages did, and Pa was smoking as
contented as though he was walking on
Broadway, and with an OK CAD he
would larrup the oxen and say: "Haw,
Buck" like farmer driving oxen to
plow a field.
Pa got his wild oxen so tame be.
fore We got to camp that they would
eat hay out of his hand, and when
We rounded up in our permanent camp,
and looked over our stock, and killed
some of the buffalos that had followed
the cages, for meat for the negroes,
and lit some sky rockets and fired
them at the balance of the herd to
drive them away from camp, the ne
groes, who had always had a horror
OF meeting wild buffalos, thought Pa
was superior being, to be able to
tame whole herd of the most savage
animals, and they got down on their
knees and placed their faces in the
dust in front of Pa and worshiped him,
and they wouldn't get up off the
ground until Pa had gone around and
put his feet on the necks of all the
negroes in token that he acknowl-
edged himself to be their king and pro-
tector, and the wives of the negroes
all threw their arms around Pa and
hugged him until he got tired, and he
said he had rather fight buffalos than
be hugged by half-naked negro wom-
en- that hadn't had a bath since Stan
ley discovered them, but Pa appre-
ciated the honor, and Mr.. Hagenbach
said Pa was the greatest man in the
world.
The next day we shipped the buffa-
los to the coast, and had them sent
to Berlin, and when we got the mail
from headquarters there was an order
for a lot more tigers so suppose we
will be tigering as soon as the open
season is on.
The idea is that we must get all
the animals we can this year, for it is
rumored that Roosevelt is coming to
Africa next year to shoot big game,
and all of us feel that wild animals
will be scarce after he has devastated
Africa.
We got short of salt pork and some
time ago Pa salted down some sides
of rhinoceros, and yesterday was the
day to open the barrel. Pa showed
the cooks how to fry rhinoceros pork,
and l tell you it made you hungry to
smell rhinoceros frying, and with
boiled potatoes and ostrich eggs, and
milk gravy, made from elephants milk,
we lived high, but the next day an
