Proceedings of
 District Court

The closing of one of the most sen sa.ional murder trials m Cochise county occurred at 10 20 o'clock Sat- urday nigh, when the jIry in the Pfsnkuche case returned verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed the penalty at life imprison. ! ment.
 The arguments brought out large attendance, the court room being crowded to overlooking and the sisles and lobby of the court room were filled with eager listeners.
 Assistant District Attorney Flsn- nigan opened for the prosecution, presenting the facts before the jury in an able manner. Attorney Cleary followed for the defense in Il most eloquent plea of over an hour. Attor. ney English summed up the defense in s calm, earnest manner, bringing out his points clearly and decisively. District attorney Williams closed the argument in s masterly address. He launched into the history of the case and it's terrible consequences graph ically pictured. The prisoner and several witnesses were scathiDgly scored and the prosecutor closed with most effective plea to the jury.
 The jury was out but 10 minutes. Piankuche heard the verdict without the slightest emotion and few mo- ments later expressed satisfaction with the verdict.
 The formal sentence of Piankuche, in conformity with the verdict, has been deferred to January 24, pending hearing on A motion for ne V trial to | be ii ed by the attorneys. Meanwhile | P!snkuche is kept in the steel cell in the cou1ty ial.

OF nineteen miles from the city hail of
New York, near the lower end Of Man

ulation of 3.326S9s. BY 1900 1t had
grown to 4.612,153. Five years later 1T
was s.4o4.s3S. In ten years it had In.
creased 80 per cent. 1t is estimated

an undertaking with little or no prece-
dent. To accomplish this work was a
most puzzling engineering problem on
account of the soft mud through which
the tunnels We're driven Under the
Hudson river.
The tunnels or tubes themselves con-
sist of series of iron rings, and the
installation of every ring meant an ad-
vance of two and half feet. Eleven
plates and key piece at the top COM

ring weighs about fifteen tons. The
cast iron plates, or sections OF the
ring. have fianges at right angles to
the surface, and 1t IL through these

the huge shields with which the tun-
i nels were bored. Each shield weighed

tube penetrated.

IN good health who observed the rules
that stared him in the face from every
wall.
To make II as safe under the bed Of
the river as Ii is on the lands surface
was tho aim Of the Pennsylvania tun-
mel builders The old Hudson river
tunnel which crosses the Hudson at
Merton street was abandoned at one
time because so many lives were lost
The main difficulty was to keep the
river from coming into the tube and
drowning the workmen. The air under
the heavy pressure required to keep
the water from sweeping in sometimes
blew out through the river bottom,
and then the water poured in in such
volume that there was little or no time
for escape.

as safe as that OF the surface worker.

roof of the tunnel were provided 80

quent flooding of the tunnel the men
would have chance TO eS"a1e through
the air held in the top Of the tunnel.

were being built was one requiring TIE

A DOUBLE BOND POUNDING.

 Will you please allow me a little space in your daily to say a few things about a double bond pounding which came my way as 1 was being domiciled in my present home in dear old Pres colt.
 The first lick came in S65 gift of household and kitchen goods, just such as a preacher has need of. This was such a pleasant and welcome surprise that 1 was almost struck as was Rhoda when Peter so astonishingly ap~ peared before the gate; she could not believe it for joy. So with me. 1 understand that this was an individual gift. The Lords manifold blessings upon the giv. CT. But this was not the only lick. 1 looked up the street about 4 D. m. yesteruay (March 2D and saw the sisters of our church coming lined up as if they were arrayed for battle, and sure enough they were.
