mand for stock cows is very good.
Hog demand was fair throughout
the week and a good clearance was
made from day to day. Today the

RAILROADS WHIP
HORSES TO DEATH

Arthur Watts shipped car OF
horses from the northwest to Ala
mosa this week and on account OF
the heavy damages suffered by the
rough handling of the horses by the
railroads he refused to accept them
and turned the shipment over to the
railroad company. 1t seems that
two of the horses were killed out
right and many of them injured.
Broken legs were common and one
big mare had both eyes put out.
Watts says the trainmen put his
car of horses at the tail end of
fruit train and whipped them to
death" on passenger time. He re-
fused to continue his journey from
Pueblo. but was prevailed upon by
the claim agent for the company to
go on to Alamosa. The railroad
company is now feeding the horses
at Alamosa pending the adjustment
of Watts claim for damages.

pleasing to Johnson. who, when be
saw it, reproved Sir Joshua for paint

saying, 1T Is not friendly to hand
down to posterity the imperfeetions of

Joshua himself esteemed it circum
stance in nature to be remarked as
characterizing the person represented
and therefore as giving additional
value to the portrait.
OF this circumstance Mrs. Thrale

HE GUARDED LARGE AMOUNT
Man Who Carried Fortune Across Con.
tinent In Suit Cases, Dies in
San Francisco.

With the death at the Alameda coun-
ty infirmary of William Frederick Mar
shall, sixty-fve years of age, said to
be relative of John Marshall, the dis
coverer of gold in California, there
was brought to a close the life of a
man who once carried s4,000,000 in
bonds across the continent in suit
cases.
Marshall, who for the past ten years
had resided with Mrs. Mary C. Bow
ers, 1853 Eighth street, was commits
stoned by T. G. Crothers and R. D.
Mitchell, the executors of the James G.
Fair estate in California, in 1897, to
bring the 100000 in bonds from New
York to San Francisco. Wells Fargo
G Co. wanted s4,S12 for the same serv-
ice, and the executors decided to save
this amount.
Accordingly on October of that
year Marshall left New York with the
bonds in three suitcases, heavily
armed, in a private drawing-room He
delivered the bonds to the executors
in San Francisco without mishap on
October 10. En- route the train YVES
held up and the passengers robbed of
personal belongings in Utah by a gang
of highwaymen, who fortunately over
looked the three suitcases.-San Fran

WILLS MADE IN WAR TIME
Legal Procedure Must Of Necessity
Give Way to What Is Con-
venient.


War changes many of the laws OF
peace. Even the strict laws governing
he making of wills and the inherit
ance of property have had to make
q ay before the exigencies of military
procedure
The German government has pro-
vided special decree which revolu-
,ionizes the strict demands of the
statutes of peace concerning the MAX
lag Of wills. AS result the German
aoldiers in the field can now make
their last wills with little respect for
the ironclad requirements that hedge
sie making of testament in time Of
peace
Any officer or soldier or even anyone
IN any wise attached to the mobile
military service, may write his will in
his own handwriting and sign it, even
without the presence of witnesses, and
the Willis binding. A special provi-
sion, however, makes such a will
salid one year after the demobilizat.

tached. 1t becomes invalid a 9
after the testator has been disch;1a 4
from such service, or If he has been
taken prisoner By the enemy, a year
after he shall have been released.
In addition to this, provision ID
made that where the soldier does not
write the testament in his own hand
writing, his simple signature in the
presence of one officer or two other
witnesses will be sufficient. If for any
reason he is unable to do this, or
there is no time for the preparation
of formal instrument, he may make
verbal testament before an officer
and two witnesses.

British Field MarshaIs.

A. British field marshal never retires
from the army. He may be placed on
half pay. but is still borne ON the &C.
tive list. By the regulations there
must not be more than eight field mar
shals receiving pay as such-that is,
exclusive Of honorary field marshals,
such as foreign kings. emperors and
princes. OF the eight regular field
marshals two must be selected from
the Indian army. The position of field
marshal is a great one. The field mar

The greatest discovery of borax ever

they two worked together until their
provisions were at an end; then, bit.

they started back toward civilization.
The first night they camped in Ash

the peculiar green tinge of the flames.
He did not speak. but with shaking
hands scratched away the earth and
suddenly shouted: We're rich. Rose,
