Shifted Their Minds.

About one hour after the jury in
the Stroud case had retired to con-
slider their verdict there was re-
ported from the jury room that one
of the jurors favored conviction
three were for manslaughter, and
eight for acquittal
If it Werep ossible to know, it
would be interesting to explain
how and by what process the
jurors who stood for conviction as
charged and the three who were
more conservative, shifted theiI
minds and agreed with the other
eight jurors that the lady was in
nocent Of crime and therefore was
turned loose on the community to
sgo and sin no more.

Failed in Capturing Them.

were dynamiting the express car,
which they made the engineer cut off
from the remainder of the train.
One Of the robbers came suddenly
upon Policeman O'Leary and G. E.
Marney, reporter, as they crept to-
ward the express car. Covering them
with his revolver, he forced them to
line up beside the car. and took
O'Leary's weapons from him.
Sheriff Mosler and others of the
posse opened fire on the robbers, who
fled to the engine, taking the engineer
with them, and forced the latter to
proceed. A few miles further on the
bandits again stopped the engine and
were working on the safe in the ex
press car, when another automobile
from Springfield, bearing Chief of Pc
lice Underwood and others, came upor
them.
Again the robbers jumped upon the
engine and forced the engineer to pull
out. This time they did not stop unit
nearing the city limits of Springfield
The robbers jumped out of the engine
ordering the engineer to go on, ant
disappeared.
The express messenger says there
was probably $4,000 in his safe.
Engineer Shell, upon reaching
Springfield, reported that the robber.
succeeded in dynamiting the safe. HI
believes they secured the money.

LANE URGES NEW LAW
Secretary Advises Drainage and Re-
Clamation Of Lands.


Washington.-Secret Lane has
submitted recommendation to con-
gress for a law authorizing the drain
age and reclamation by the United
States of public swamps and over
flowed land In any state or territory.
While the proposed measure Is de-
signed primarily for the reclamation of
public lands, 1t authorizes the inclusion
In the drainage projects, under sepci-
fled conditions. of state or privately
owned swamp land contiguous to the
public land or located In the same
drainage basin.
The measure Is comprehensive and
in some degree analogous to the recla-
nation act passed in 1902 for the irri-
cation of arid lands. It includes, how
ever, several improvements on that
act suggested by experience in the ad-
ministration Of the law.

that rulings OF the interior department

in accordance with the homestead en-
try law of 1912 instead of the laws in
existence when they made their entry.
which worked hardship in requiring
