HARRY SHAFER FOUND
NOT GUILTY OF MURDER

Short work was made of the MUIR
der trial yesterday when Harry Sha-
fer who was charged with murder
in the first degree. was up before
the jury. A large number of wit
nesses from Columbia Falls were
placed on the stand and at three
o'clock Shafer gave his own testimo-
ny in the case. His evidence was
concise and straightforward, and at
no time was there anything to show
that he had a hand in the killing of
Murphy at Columbia Falls the 2Sth
of last August. Although he was
with Murphy and Reilly all during
the day, he was not a partner to
their Quarrels The chain. of evidence
concerning the procuring Of the gun.
upon which the state made its
strongest point, was easily explained
away by the defendant himself and
later in the pleas to the jury. The
case was continued in the evening
and after the jury had been instruc-
ted by the court and the attorneys
had made their arguments, the jury
went out at 10 o'clock and at mid
night brought in a verdict of not
guilty.-Kalispell Bee.

PERSIA'S ARMY Is
OF ORIENTAL TYPE.
III Organized, Unframed and Irregular
ly Reeruited-Eight Vessels In Navy.

Current statistics of Persia's defense
do not speak we'll for her army. The
Statesman's Year Book for 1911 says
that "the army is of oriental type
that Is to say, IL is i'll organized, has
hardly any training and is irregularly
recruited.
"The regular troops consist, accord
Ing to the official lists, of seventy nine
battalions of infantry, twenty-three
batteries of field artillery and a bat
TALON of pioneers. Whether all these
units actually exist is. however, un-
certain. The strength of battalions is
nominally from 600 TO 800, and the
batteries have from four to eight guns.
The total strength of the regular
troops does not, it is believed, exceed
10000 men, Of whom only about one
half are present with the colors,
though the official lists indicate a
much larger number. The irregular
troops amount to about $4,000 district
and tribal horse and an uncertain
number of footmen, all badly or indif-
ferently armed and of little value''
Besides this army there is a Cossack
brigade of about 1000 men, equipped
with six Krupp guns, which is quar-
tered at the capital. They have been
trained by Russian officers, and the
commandant is a Russian, who takes
his orders directly from the shah.
The hist official lists gave the follow
ing figures as the strength of the
army: Infantry, 70 battalions. 63, ,S65
men; artillery, IA field and mountain
guns, from 500 to COO old muzzle load
ers and $500 men; irregular cavalry.
1887 men; frontier and road guards.
foot, horse and camel, 5,403 men; to.
tai, 81 1884
The Persian navy consists of eight
vessels of light tonnage, two built as
long ago as 1884.
The population of Persia is now esti-
| mated at about 9,5O0,0OO. The num-
Der of European residents is not more
than 1,200. Many Of the inhabitants
are nomadics. OF these 100000 are
Arabs, 100000 Turks, 675,OOo Kurds
and Lexis, 20,700 Baluchis and gypsies
and $4,000 Lurs.
Teheran is the largest city in the
country, with a population of 2S0,OO0
Tabriz has population of 100000 No
other city reaches the 100000 mark
The total public debt of Persia is
about $27 100000. OF this amount she
owes S16,500000 to the Russian gov
ernment and S5,s30,OOO to the Russian
bank.

CHESTNUT TREE PLAGUE.
Department of Agriculture Starts Cam
paian Against the Disease.

Increased and vigorous efforts to
stay the ravages of the chestnut bark
disease, which already has destroyed
timber valued at $25,OOO,OOO in the
eastern states, are to be made by the
department of agriculture. With this
end in view DIR. Haven Metcaif, in
charge Of the work for the bureau of
plant industry, Is taking the question
up with the authorities in those states
where the disease has appeared.
So as to prevent the disease from
spreading down through the Appala-
chian region, where millions OF dollars
worth of fine chestnuts exist, strong
fight will be made in Virginia against
the infection.
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, the southern New England states,
Maryland and the Virginias are the
states in which the disease has appear
ed. Fighting around it In an effort to
confine it to the territory already at
tackled is the method which will be
used in trying to save the chestnut
timber outside the infested belt
New Jersey, delaware, Long lsland
and the eastern end of Maryland are
doomed" said Mr.. Metcalf. "We must
try to stop the disease from spreading
southwark and westward. 1t has ap-
peared only slightly as yet in Virginia
West Virginia, western Maryland and
western Pennsylvania, so with the aid
of these states we think we can save
the rest of their chestnut timber. New
York also has been attacked only along
the eastern side. At a conservative es
innate the chestnut stand of the coun
try is worth between $500, 100000 and
S400, 900, 600, and as the disease spreads
rapidly 1t would mean a great econom
ic loss to the country If we could not
check the Infection"

JUST MATCH THIEVES.
Captain Turner of the Mauretania Says
All Smokers Pilfer Them.

Nli ofHONSFs FiiTGT Tcfns
Captain Turner of the Mauretania is
firm believer that all smokers, no
matter how honest they may be in
business, are constituencies in regard
to pocketing boxes of matches they
have borrowed for light.
81 have watched all kinds of men
during my career at sea-" said Captain
Turner, "and | have never seen the
match test fail. The worst case | ever
knew was an old Liverpool pilot who
used to take a fresh box Of matches
every time he came into my cabin to
light his pipe. One trip watched for
him after the Mauretania was made
fast and had six fresh boxes Of match
es ready for him.
"The pilot came in for a yarn, and
1 pushed him over a box to light his
pipe with. That went into his pocket.
The pipe went out, and l handed over
another box of matches, which also
disappeared. This was repeated until
he had five boxes in his pocket, and
when / pushed the sixth box to him /
remarked, Give me this one back,
George; it's the last box / have
"Well," the captain continued, "he
was the most astonished pilot you
ever saw when he put his hand I'm the
pocket Of his pea jacket and found
the FIVE boxes of matches there"

SHRlVER THE 108TH
VICTIM OF AVIATION.
OF Tall, Angular Build, He Was One of
Most Picturesque Fiiers.

Tod Shriyer, the aviator who was
killed recently in Porto Rico, was borI
IN Manchester. o., thirty-eight years
ago. He began to earn his living when
boy as a printer on the local paper
In his home town. This job he held
until one day q circus came to town
and he got an offer to go along and
look after the tents. For a number
of years he stuck the circus business
and made trips around the world.
Drifting back to New York about sew
en- years ago, he met Captain Thomas
s. Baldwin, tbs veteran air man, who
engaged him TO look after the Baldwin
1irigible balloon Later he went to
assist Glenn Fl. Curtiss in building
aeroplanes. He accompanied Curtiss
abroad in 1909 and acted as his chief
| mechanic at the international meet at
Rheims. when Curtiss captured the
championship trophy for speed.
Shriver was of tall. angular build
and was one of the most picturesque
among the fiiers. On their trip abroad
Curtiss proposed that he go as first
class cabin passenger. but Tod in
sisted that he was only a comman man
and that q second class ticket was good
enough for him. On another occasion
after he had made flights in q west.
ern city a reception was proposed in
