DANISH FARMS
JUMP IN Value

COPENHAGEN, Denmark.-Danish
farm property has increased in value
as result of the European war until
farms are now being sold almost daily
at price 80 per cent higher than
what they would have brought nine
to, IL months ago. The appreciation
of farm property is due, Of course, to
the unprecedented profits on agricul,
tural products. 49,.
In the matter of horses. the scarcity
is SO serious that the government
during the past six months has pro-
hbited the expectation of them and
the farmers have been getting on in
many inGtances with the small but
vigorous Icelandic horses, when they
have been able to get them.

tion for mistrial. The insinuation
made by the attorney brought heat
ed response from the foreman of the
jury, A few minutes later Mr..

A drunk-crazed sailor, who is al
legged to have threatened the life Of
Recorder H. e. Pickersgill, was given
twenty minutes to leave the city
when arraigned before the recorder
this morning.
The man. who gave his name as
William Englan, forty-two years old,
OF FAN River, Mass, was drinking
at the bar of .he Island house, at
Rector and Smith streets yesterday
morning. He seemed to be intoxi-
Gated, and when the name of the res
corder happened to be mentioned,
began a verbal trade against that
officer, 1t Is said, declaring that he
was going to shoot him before sun
rise this morning. The bartender,
uneasy, lest the man carry out his
threats, called the Office of the recor-
der, who was out, Constable John
c. Platt notified the police.
Man Then Disappears.
The man disappeared, but shortly
after 4 O'Clock Traffic officer Tonne
sen learned that he was seen in the
vicinity of Water street and Smith,
and landed him in the lookup. Eng
Ian was supposed to have carried a
gun, but no dangerous weapon was
found on him. and it is thought he
was melted by liquor to make the
threats. He was of diminuitiye size
and did not appear feroeious this
morning when sober, he stood before
the recorder.
