How to Treat Horses.

Never put horse wet with rain
or sweat into a stable to dry off.
Rub him dry with a big cloth.
1t is just as important to ventilate
the horse barn as the house.
The moment you see your horse
limp however slightly, examine his
foot. You may find 4 pebble, which
if it is not at once taken out, may
work into the hoof and cause serious
injury.
Use long straw for bedding, as
short stuff forms into humps and
causes discomfort.
Give the horses genuine rest on
Sundays and holidays by giving
them extra feed and attention.

One to Twenty Years.
Defence Will Nov Claim That Jury
Was Not Properly Guarded.

Flushing, \. Y, May n.-Captain
Peter &. Hams. Jr., u. s. A. tonight
faces a prison term OF from one to y
years. He was convicted late today of
manslaughter in the first degree for
killing William =. Annis at the Bay
side Yacht Club last August
Quickly following the army officers
conviction his counsel announced that
they would produce attdaNitS to show
that tie jury had not been properly
guarded during the trial. and upon this
allegation will ask FOR a new trial be
granted. These atidavits will he sub
mitted on Monday, the time set for
passing of sentence. There viii, Of
course, he the usual motions to set
aside tie verdict as against the weight
of evidence and contrary to law, but
the unusual jury feature is the only
departure from the stereotype proceed
ir.gs for a new trial.
The counsel for the defence said:
There was no evidence III this case
to warrant a verdict of manslaughter
1t should either have been murder in
the first degree or acquittal on the
ground of insanity. The jurors We're
permitted to roam about the county
III an automobile and go right to the
verge of the scene of the homicide
which is clearly against the law. We
will have atlidavits to prove that such
is the case. and also that the jurors
We're permitted to leave the jurisdic-
ton Of the county and have been on
government property at Fort Lottan,
all of which will bc urged for Il ground
for setting aside the verdict"
The conviction of Hams came as a
general surprise. The jury was out

pected that the jurors would delber-
ate much longer ana that Il verdict Of
acquittal on the ground Of insanity, or
a disagreement would result

all he could hope for was a disagree
