Sugar cane is a species Of grass.
The stalks or canes resemble corn
stalks OF regions further north.
Great quantities OF cane are grown
In Louisiana and other southern
states. AS the canes approach matur.
tty they throw out a long smooth hol-
low joint termed the arrow. AS the
joints ripen the leaves wither and fall
away with the stem. The juice Is ex-
tracted by being pressed in a sugar
mill between several heavy rollers.
The juice is forced out by pressure
and is Immediately boiled down to

O!sTRlGT COURT

Ane deiense In the Huber case
Is moving along slowly. After.
the recess yesterday afternoon, At
torney Dysart made a brief OPEN
ing statement in which he told the
Jury that the defense would prove
a clear case of self-defense.
George Anderson, a eolored gen.
tleman from Mountain City, was
the first witness. He testified that
on the day of the killing he met
Billings about 8 or a o'clocklin the
afternoon and that Billings was
looking for Huber. He and Bill
ings went to Huber's house, walked
through it but did not find Huber.
Billings then went to Huber's barn
and Anderson followed him part
way. Billings went into the barn
and Anderson went back to thu
house to attend to a chicken he
left frying on the stove. After at
tending to the chicken, Anderson
went within a few feet of the barn
and stopped. He heard a noise
like a "thump'' but would not
swear that the noise was made by
Billings kicking Huber because
he did not see what vas going on
in the barn. He also heard numb
ling but did not know what was
SAID. He saw Billings hit Huber
in the mouth and on the left cheek
and saw the blood fly from the
blow in the mouth and saw it run
down Huber's. left cheek. He said
Billings had hold of Jerry and was
showing and pulling him along.
During Arderson's evidence, he
was excused and Dr. West was
called. He testified about examin-
ing Hnber's wounds after he came
to Elko and described them to tr e
jury. He found the upper lip cut
and two scratches on the left cheek.
He could not tell what made the
wound but thought it possible they
were made with a shovel.
At the conclusion Of Dr.. Vests
evidence, Anderson was recalled
and Mr.. Gedney began cross exam
lining him. The synopsis of his evil
dene given above was caught from
his cross-eXaminati IN last evening.
He was still on the stand when
o t adjo rned. (
A%nderson's cross examination
was resumed this morning and was
not concluded when the noon re-
cess was taken. His evidence GEMS
to be somewhat different from what
it was on the former trial, but Oil
the main facts it is practically the
same. He is a very ignorant man
but seems to be trying to tell facts
as he saw and heard them.

Emotions Expressed In paneln,

In the Vedas of the Hindus, some
OF which date back 5000 years before
Christ, there is steady reference to
dancing as an expression Of triumph,
worship. and ever the deepest grief.
1t is the same in the ZendaYestas Of
tie Persians. Dancing with cymbals
and tambourines, with bells tied to
their ankles and wrists or around
their waists, was an art that the
prtestesses in the temples must un-
derstand.
