senting the defendants asked for a
continuation of the case till o'clock
this afternoon Many witnesses were
called who gave testimony that
was almost conclusive. During
their testimony Izitt was apparently
worried and when he took the stand
he told everything, and looking Harras
square in the eyes, told of how Har-
ras was also implicated and had sug-
gested the thefts. They stole II sacks
of wheat from the William Reser
ranch on the night of January 8, and
later in the night made second trip
and secured seven sacks, he said
Manv witnesses were called. 1t is said
an effort will be made to lodge more
serious charges against the two than

charged.

Under cover of machine guns, Vas

no effort to follow, evidently choosing
to wait for the cover of darkness to
make another attack. 1t appears from
the dispatches from the front that no

reach yanauez until tomorrow and his

There are various kinds of packs
that are shown the people, chief among
these being the two commercial packs
known as the square" and the "dia-

experiments have proven that the above
two are of the most value and the ma
jority of time is devoted to teaching
them. By this, the fruit is kept tight
ly in place and is kept free from bruis-
es and moving in the box. In the dia-
gonal, the two two and the two three

session will be held, when men, famous
in the country as experts on the sub

present. Those who will deliver talks
tonight are Professor Bolton, of Fres-
