Bottneau, N. D., Feb 19.--The case
Of the state against Hursh in which
the defendant is charged with the
murder of her new born illegitmate
child on the morning of October 10,
1911, was given to the jury shortly
after three o'clock Saturday.
Further medical testimony was
heard at the night session. when DR..
Johnson was recalled by the state.
This testimony was in regard to child
birth and the question whether it was
possible for an infant to drown in
bed also as to further facts regard
ing the post-mortem examination.
Testimony contradicted many state
ments made by DR.. Halldorson. expert
for the defense and emphasized the
states contention that the child was
born alive and thrown into the vault
of an clubhouse and drowned there.
THE addresses of States Attorney
Weeks for the state and Attorney
Eowen for the defense took up the
entire morning session and part of
the afternoon.
Judge Burr charged the jury that
three verdicts were possible, murder
in the first degree, manslaughter in
the second degree, and acquittal. The
defendant has borne UP we'll during
tho trial and did not show emotion
when ON the stand but during the ad
dresses to the Jury broke down and
sobbed as the prosecutor painted .
picture Of the heartlessness OF the
mother who would throw her offspring
in such place whether dead or alive
Condemnation by the attorneys added
to the sentiment against the father Of
the dead child, who is alleged to be
a farmer living near this city and 4
married man with family.

FoRY-sIx MILES OF BOOKS
British Museums Library lie Greatest
In the World and Keeps on
Growing.

Many Americans must have studied
as well as sat beneath the great doEue
of the British museum, and few Of
them will fail to remember the cour-
tesies which were always SO gener.
ously extended there by D. G.. X.
Fortescue, the keeper of printed
books The retirement of that official.
after forty-two years of service,
focuses new attention upon what has
been called the greatest library in the
world When Panizzi took charge Of
the museum In 1897, it had a collec-
ton Of 100000 volumes, all OF them
badly arranged and poorly catalogued.
When he relinguished his charge.
thirty years later, order had been
brought out of the chaos, and there
were 100000 books in the library.
Doctor Fortescue succeeded him In
1873, and since that time the contents
OF the museum have grown by leaps
and bounds. It now holds about A..
100000 volumes, arranged on shelves
which, If put end to end, would stretch
a distance of 46 miles, with the num-
Der increasing at the rate of $4,000
volumes year.
In 1880 work was begun on the
great catalog, and there are now $50
volumes of 1t, from 15 to 20 being
added every year. A complete set Of
these printed hsts-and they have
not yet been brought up to date
costs nearly $500. 1t is an interesting
fact that this mighty collection of
books is the youngest of the great
libraries of Europe, and began with
out any regular income.-Boston

GOATS WILL PROTECT SHEEP
PennsyIvanian Keeps Two Anqoras
to Drive Away Panthers and
Other Animals of Prey.

In order to Illustrate an attack ON
his flock of sheep by a catamount, or
panther, David Glover of near Haney.
Vile has purchased two Angora goats.
The pugnacity of these goats is such
that no animal of prey dare attempt
to despoil a flock.
The sheep raisers of that wild SEQ.
ton have suffered severe losses to
their flocks of late years since the big
increase in black bears and cata.
mount, and now with a real panther
in the neighborhood it became neces.
sary to do something desperate. Mr..
Glover hit upon the Angora goat idea,
and it seems to have settled the prob.
lem. The goats are masters of all
they survey, all right, even the men
folk fighting shy of getting too close
to the sturdy creatures. At this sea.
son Of the year the sheep are on the
wild ranges. Other sheep raisers are
watching Mr. Glover's experiment.

PULLING TOOTH WITH "BIKE"
Novel Dentistry Method of Two Lads
Failed Because One Lost His
Nerve.

The best tooth pulling story comes
from Ocean Park and involves two
boys and bicycle.
Roy Fosdick, nine years old, told
his playmate of his aches and was
offered many devices for relief. Final
ly this plan was evolved: John
Tower was to bring around his bicy-
Gle, string would be tied to it and
the tooth. Tower would ride swiftly
away, Roy would brace himself and
out would come the tooth.
All was made ready. The boy
mounted the bicycle and started. And
right there Roy's nerve failed him.
He started after the bicycle. The BIZ
cyclist rode faster. 1t developed into
a race. Finally Roy was close
enough to make wild grab for the
machine. The result was that the two
boys and the bicycle landed in a
heap, with the youngsters suffering
from injuries ranging from cut on
Roy's head to a wrenched ankle for
John.-Los Angeles Examiner.

PLANNING AID FOR THE DEAF
German Society Asks That Special
Consideration Be Shown Persons
Hard of Hearing.

That there are 100000 persons in
Germany whose hearing is defective
is statement that was made at the
first convention Of the Society for the
Protection of the Deaf, which was
organized a few weeks ago. Franz
Bronner, an architect, presided at
the convention, which was made up of
100 delegates.
The resolutions adopted declared
that persons who are hard of hearing
needed more consideration than is
usually accorded to them. 1t was
decided to approach theater. opera
and concert managers with the re-
quest to allot particularly good seats
to those who by producing a mem
bership card of the society could
show that their hearing was defec-
tive: also that telephone apparatus
should be attached to the seats.
Railroad officials are to be asked
to show deaf people special consid-
