STRAND OF HAIR is
INTRODUCED IN CASE

There Is evidence and evidence but
the kind that is tangible yet almost
invisible is about as hard to present
as any. For proof of this statement
ask DIR. 4. NJ. Henderson, Col. j. H.
Raley Deputy U. S. Attorney John
son or any others who were present
at the hearing of Columbia George
yesterday afternoon. Dr. Henderson
had hard time finding the particu-
lar evidence in the first place and
the others had an equally difficult
time in keeping 1t from becoming lost
in the second.
The evidence In question was a
hair a single, long, fine hair such as
might come from the head of wo-
man. DR.. Henderson testified that
he found the hair on the scene of the
murder of the aged squaw, Tl-mot or
A-te-me-at When asked by the de-
fense to produce it, he called for his
hat A hat was handed to him and
he pulled up the sweat band and con-
Quoted long and careful search. The
court waited in silence while the
physician pursued his quest. Closer
and closer the medical man conduct
ed his scrutiny but no hair was
brought forth. II guess" he said
finally, II have lost it but swear that
1 put it under the Eand," and he be-
gan to look suspiciously at the at
torneys for the defense. Again he
looked in the hat and then a glad
light shone in his eye. This is not
my hat" he said. "Sure it's not"
piped up Deputy Sheriff Blakely from
the other side of the railing. "it's mine
and I'll have you understand there
is no woman's hair in it or on it,
either"
The doctors hat was one very sim
liar to the deputy's, hence the mis-
take. and when the former was hand
ed his own he very promptly drew
from beneath the band a long fine,
hair. 1t was handed to Col. Raley.
but the colonel dropped it. or thought
he did, and for five minutes the
court, attorneys and witnesses how
cred over the table in a search for
the little capillus. Nose glasses were
adjusted and a microscope was sug-
gested when some one espied it hang
ing to the colonel's hand.
Just what part the hair will play
in the case was not established as no
effort was made by either side to
prove from whose head it came, but
both sides seemed to regard it as inn
pOrtant as they insisted upon its
careful preservation Thus after being
duly measured, it was threaded
through an envelope and placed on
file.
Inasmuch as there was bone but
ton and a piece of cloth introduced as
evidence, it can be said, literally and
not poetically, that "a rag. bone
and a hank of hair" are playing an
important part in the case against
I Columbia George.

GET WINTER FURS.
Big Rush Is on i'm Canada to Take
Advantage of Summer Prices.


Advantage of Summer Prices.
Montreal July 23.-Even in Can
ada the man who mentions the word
furs these days gets a look suffi-
ciently destructive to annihilate him,
yet the fact that this week begins the
last of the year for special reductions
in fur reductions in fur garments has
sent rush of buying orders to big
firms, especially from Americans Wis
'iting in Canada. During June and
July pelts are reduced 20 per cent. The
first of August the winter prices go
into effect and incidentally, all kinds
of furs after that date will cost from
25 to so per cent more than they did
last winter Fur bearing animals are
yearly becoming more rare it is said,
and the demand is increasing out of
proportion. In the last five years the
price of furs has gone up on an av-
erage of $50 per cent. So despite the
weather, the dealer in furs, like the
ice cream vendor and the ice cream
man, has no fault to find with the
rise in the thermometer, thank you.

COLUMBIA GEORGE
TRIAL CONTINUED
Continued from page one.)

Meyer, who works on the Bitner
ranch, testified to seeing the defend
ant and the squaw at the ranch on the
day of the murder.
Ernest Bartz told of finding the
body of the squaw in the river, of
notifying the officers and of finding
blood spots and other evidence of
foul play.
DR.. Henderson's testimony was i'm
portant because of the fact that he
conducted an investigation as a gov
ernment officer. He gave his profess
sional opinion to the effect that the
squaw had been killed by blow from
a blunt instrument He told of find
ing the blood spots, evidence of
white horse having been tied in a
clump of bushes and subsequently, Of
having been forced through a heavy
growth of willows, of finding the ear
bobs and of receiving the button with
a piece of pink cloth attached from
the hands of August Alexander, an
Indian assisting in the investigation.
Sheriff Taylor identified the pair
of shoes in evidence as those which
he had secured from Columbia
Georges camp on the day following
the murder. These are the shoes sup
posed to have been worn by the ac-
cused on the day of the murder and
which bear evidence of having been
1 thoroughly washed. The sheriff also
! identified the suit of underclothes as
that taken from the prisoners camp,
This Is the suit from which, 1t will
be contended, the button found was
torn.
Deputy Sheriff Blakely told of max
| ing an investigation, his testimony be-
ing substantially the same as that OF
Dr.. Henderson.
August Alexander testified to find
ing the button while he and DR.. Hen
derson and William Barnhart were
scratching in the dirt near the spot
where blood stains were found.
Andy Barnhart gave evidence
tending to show that Columbia George
was drunk in the afternoon of the
murder and left the city with drug
store" bottle party filled with alco-
hol about 1:15. Barnhart identified
the bottle in evidence and which was
found near the scene Of the murder
as that which he had taken from the
store of Jim Dupuis and filled with
a mixture of water and alcohol for
Columbia George.
Col. Raley, who did the cross ex-
animation for the defense, question
ed the Indian witnesses very closely
and indicated that he will make an
attempt at impeachment
Throughout the hearing which last
ed until 1880 this morning, Columbia
George sat motionless and the ex-
preston upon his stolid face never
once changed as the testimony was
| taken.

A CHEAP Fertilizer For Oats

Farmers having a light, sandy soil, or
| whose farms are a fair loan but which
have been exhausted by long-continued
cropping without much fertilizer, will
find it still possible to raise fair crops by
the use of Fertlizing Salt. This kind of
fertilizer appears to give especially good
results on Oats. 1t not only makes the
straw sitter, consequently making the
crop less liable to lodge and rust, but also
keeps the ground moist and so insures a
better catch when grass seed is sown
with the Oats
A very desirable Salt for fertilizing pur-
poses is sold by c. S. Page, Hyde Park 4,
VT. 1t is more valuable than most cheap
salts, as it contains more or less refuse
matter which comes from the hides on
which it has been used. The price is only
$3.50 per ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park, and
the freights are moderate, especially on
12.ton carloads. He can make prompt
shipments and full particulars will be
given on request.

FOR CHILD'S LUNCH BASKET
Idea Should Be to Put Together Edi-
bles That Are Appetizlne
and Nourish!ng-
MORkISvILLE, VERMONT

Mothers, when preparing lunch bas-
kets for school children, should re-
member that sweet fruits contain
much nourishment, dates, figs, bananas
and grapes containing the most. Juicy
fruits contain salts for the blood and
are usually we'll liked. Nuts form an
excellent food and are full of nourish-
ment. Walnuts, almonds, cOcoanut
and chestnuts are among the best;
these can be crushed~and made into a
paste form with cream and spread on
slices for sandwiches. Or they may
be cracked and the kernels rolled fine
and put on buttered slices of bread.
Whole wheat breads may not at first
be liked by the children, but it is
very wholesome, supplying every need
of the human body. If meats are used
for sandwiches it is we'll to grind the
meat and spread 1t on the bread, as it
can In this way be eaten with more
ease. Meat preparations are very &C
ceptable with brown breads. Butter
should always be used literally, as the
system requires a certain amount Of
fat for the body's development, and
nothing is better for the purpose than
good, sweet butter or cream.
