PETIT JURY gets
ITS DISCHARGE
THE LACK OF CRIMINAL CASES
CAUSES JUDGE TO LET
THE BODY GO

The criminal cases set for trial
having been continued until the
spring term Of the district court at
the recommendation Of District Attor-
ney Charles W. G. Waro, Judge David
J. Leahy yesterday afternoon dis
charged the pe Jury The judge
thanked the iurers for their services.
The discharge of the petit jury after
less than four days of service marks
a new record in San Miguel county
courts. In former sessions the petit
jurors were retained frequently for
many days after the grand jury had
completed its labors and been dis
charged. The law permitting offend
ers to waive Indictment and trial, ap-
pearing before the district Judge to
plead guilty to charges against them,
has accomplished the saving of a large
amount of money to San Miguel coun-
ty. Since the June term of court sew
eral persons have availed themselves
of the privilege afforded by this law.
This, coupled with the remarkable
scarcity of serious crime in the coun-
ty, was responsible for the shortness
Of the criminal docket at the fall term
of the court. The cases continued are
not Of serious nature.
The grand jury is still at work and
doubtless will be in session for sew
eral days next week. The jury re-
ported this morning, presenting one
true bill and eight no-true bills.
Among the latter was report fail
ing to find John Pinard and Thomas
Kane, the young men who are al
legged to have gone joyriding in John
Papen's automobile without the own
er's permission, guilty of larceny.
The owner Of the machine was
wrathy when he found his car had
been used without his consent, and
he was desirous Of having the ac-
cused young men punished. The man
indicted by the grand jury has not
been arrested, and his name is with
held from publication at this time,
1t is stated about the court house
that the grand jurors are investlgat-
ing the charges made in the travelling
auditors report concerning san Mi
guel county.
The last crimilM case considered
was that Of Jacobo Britc, charged
with assault with deadly weapon
After seeing jury panel half com
pleted Brito withdrew his former plea
and announced plea Of guilty. Il
was shown by his attorney that he is
employed by the Santa Fe railway
and bears a good reputation. Judge
Leahy sentenced Brito to so days in
the county jail, suspending the sen
tence during good behavior.
The remainder Of the term will be

A BOOK With GARMENTS
NAME OF ELSIE DAY OF SPRING.
FIELD, ORE, APPEARS ON
FLYLEAF
She is FOUND IS DES MOINES
THE GIRL SAYS THE VICTIM MAY
HAVE BEEN ALICE MccoR.
MACK. A TEACHER

Aurora, ILL.,, Nov. 22. The process
of elimination today only served to
intensity the mystery of .he murder,
traces OF which, in the form Of a
blood-stained school book, similarly
dlscolored section of a woman's un-
dergarment and a revolver, were found
in a undertaken box car here yes
terday.
Miss Elsie Helba Day Of Springfield,
ore, owner Of the school book, was
found last night at Des Moines. She
thought the murdered woman might
have been Miss Alice Mccormack, a
school teacher, but the latter was re-
ported alive and wen at Harrisburgh,
ore. today.
The revolver, with which the crime
ia believed to have been perpetrated,
forms the principal clew It is an
lyer Johnson, and bears the serial
number 62,507.
The blood-soaked part Of an under
garment, which, with school book
anu a revolver, both spattered with
1lood, was found here yesterday in a
car of lumber consigned from South
Bend, Wash, was not a girls cloth
ing, but belonged to d woman, Captain
Of Police Nirz said today. In the
school book, German grammar, the
name Of Elsie Helba Day Of Spring
field, Ore, was written.
The first theory of the police was
that the child owner Of the book
might have been lured cr dragged
the car and attacked and slain
Clcae examination Of The garment
com inoed the authorities that it was
part or a womans dress rather than
that Of girl, and this belief was fur
ther confirmed today by word from
pes Mcines, la. that Miss Day is Wis
iting there and is alive and well.
Miss Day is II years old, according
to word the police received today, and
the garment which they have found
was evidently worn by a woman con
siderably over the average in height
and weight,
Miss Day thought Alice Mccormack,
teacher of Springfield, Ore, might be
the girl in the mystery. Other names
in the book besides that of Miss Day
were DR.. A. H. Day, CoIville, Wash;
Charles Mantz, Colville, WASH; AL

Moines, Ia Alfred Love. 922 River
side avenue, Spokane, Wash; Mrs.
G. A. Day, 500 North 264A street,

Unionville, Iowa
The car in which the bloody cloth
ing was found, it was learned, has
been in transit since October
20 and was loaded almost to the root
with flat lumber. Both side doors and
one end door were sealed. The other
end door was open. Near this the
clothing and the revolver were found
The open door was about two and a
half feet square
The police are now proceeding on
the theory that a woman was murder
ed and that her clothing was slowed
away in the car together with the in
eliminating revolver. Some Of the
clothing could have been worked oui
out Of the door near which it lay, they
think.

Claim Recognition is Coming

Oiaim recognition is coming
Mexico City, Nov. 22.-The Mexican
morning newspapers under govern
ment domination published on their
front pages today long articles re-
garding the alleged intention Of the
United States government to recog-
nize Provisional President Huerta in
the near future.
El independents had a seven-column
headline which read: "Huerta will be
recognized by the American govern
ment The special envoy Of Presi-
dent Wilson able to prove anarchy
was reigning in the camp of the reb-
els Of the north"
FL Diario similarly displays an item
stating that secretary Bryan had al
ready signed communication recog-
nizing Huerta. The same newspaper
quotes Querido Moheno, the Mexican
foreign minister as saying he has mo
official knowledge" of the fact, but
that from private sources he has re
ceived very optimistic news and has
hopes of an early adjustment of the
difficulties between Mexico and the
United States.
81 Independence, at great length,
relates that the failure of the confer
enee between William Bayard Hale
and Carranza, the constitutionalist
leader. was due to the conviction of
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan that the rebel chief could
not give assurances for the safety of
the lives and property Of foreigners.
The newspaper continues:
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan, after listening attentive
" to the report Of their envoy, de-
cided that Provisional President Huer-
ia was the only man capable of do
minating the situation
The same newspaper assures its
readers thai an official announcement
of the recognition Of Provisional
President Huerta is expected within
a very few days
The foundation for the optimism of
the Mexican press appears to be GER
tain cablegrams received here by for
.eign business men describing the hor-
ror felt by President Wilson at the
killing of federal prisoners when the
rebels took Juarez,
The cablegrams were at first err
.roneously translated as referring to
the killing Of American army men
there. The Imparcial displayed the
story yesterday and 1t was copied by
the afternoon papers. 1t caused an
unmistakable atmosphere of optimism
in the national palace, where the
news appeared to be fully credited,

SAVING THE HILLSIDE SOILS
agement Of Fields That Have
Been Badly Washed Away.

You have noticed that the soil on
the sidehill field has washed badly
the last few years. Ever wonder
what was the reason for this increased
water action? Do you wish TO stop 1t?
Humus, the decaying vegetable mat
ter in the soil, tends to prevent this
erosion. Humus absorbs moisture and
retains it, When the soil contains an
abundance of humus the soil particles
are kept apart and they can absorb
more water. The soil is open and the
water tends to soak into the ground
instead of run off. Therefore. one Of
the best ways of preventing erosion Is
to keep the soil full of humus. Have
the grasses or legumes occupy prom
inent place in the rotation for the hill
side fields.
Perhaps some bad gullies have
formed in your field and you desire
TO fill them up. If so. make the force
of the gullies-the force that washed
them out-fill them up. Place brush
In the bitches with the tops upstream
and 1t will catch and hold the material
washed down. Even a better method.
however, is the use OF the woven-wire
dam. Place a stake on each side of
the gully. three feet from the bank
and fasten piece of woven wire to
them. Place old hay above this wire
and ii will catch almost all of the ma.
terial washed by the water. The gully
will then fill up. When it reaches the
top of the woven wire put on another
strip and repeat the process.
Soil erosion can never be prevented
entirely. but 1t can be greatly reduced
by n regard for the principle of pro-
per soil management.

SUCCESS ON DRY LAND FARM
Most important Of Many Things 10
supplementary IrrIgatIon-Propsr
Location for Well.

(By w. II. LAUCK. Irrigation Investi-
cations. United States Department OF
Agriculture
There are many things that make
for success on a dry land farm and
home. The most important of these
Is supplementary irrigation. This
does not conflict in any way with the
dry land work. but rather assists by
utilizing one OF the resources which
nature has provided. However, the
extent to which the practice may be
applied Is limited to the water supply
available.
One of the first and most important
things for the dry land farmer to as
certain Is whether water supply can
be developed from the underground
water. or stored during the torrential
rain storms.
Where water supply can not be
developed. the homesteader soon be-
comes discouraged and he abandons
his claim.
The proper location for the we'll
can often be decided upon by study
Ing the well in the immediate neigh
borhood. Where the distance is too
great for this method, test holes may
be put down with two or three inch
auger and light derrick. made Of two
by four inch timbers
The points desirable to know are:
ID Depth to water level; GU material
encountered in sinking test well; 90
amount the water lowers in the well
during pumping, and "a kind of well
most desirable. whether drilled, bored
or dug.
With this information, some idea OF
the amount of water which can be
expected in the locality can oe formed
thus deciding to what extent irrigation
I can be practiced.
After water has been located, the
method for making the well must be
decided. Where competent well drill
