INTERESTING WORK
N HOMICIDE CASE
Finger Print Evidence Enters
For First Time In Nevada
Case

The case OF Ben Kuhl. who Is on
trial for murder, alleged TO have been |
committed in Jarbidge on the night |
OF December fourth last, when stage |
driver Searccy was shot In the back
Of the head and the mail bags rifed
Is one OF the most interesting cases
ever tried in Nevada. 1t is the first
case to be tried in the state where
finger print evidence enters and bears
an important part.
Just what will be developed from
the bloody prints left on one OF the
envelopes Is known only to the pro
secutlon. How strong or important II
will be has not been made known,
but Il is evident that the prosecution
expects TO directly connect the de
ieudant Kuhl with the robbery and
consequently with the killing by the
bloody marks on one of the envelopes.
mighty legal battle is being
waged between Attorey f. E. Caine
for the defense and District Attorney
Caryille and Deputy District Attorney
Cantwel for the state. Every incl
OF the proceedings is being fought. and
the Court is Obliged to make rulings
on questions which are not controlled
by previous authority. In all the law
books but four cases appear which
have been carried to the higher courts
and questions have arisen In this trial
which do not appear in any Of the
others.
One interesting question is on the ad
instability Of the blood stained en-.
Seiope because II appears that the
sIains are from the palm OF tho hand
and not from the fingers. The de-
Tense admits the reliability Of finger
prints. but maintains that there Is no
authority for the statement that palm
prints are reliable. There are hun.
oreds OF thousands OF finger prints
on hle which have reduced idenlillca.
non by this means to n mathematical
certainty, but there are only few
PAIN prints on record. The prosoCu.
uon produced authority to prove that
palm prints are equally as reliable as
nhser prints. After arguing the ques.
uon the Court decided to admit the
palm print as evidence. and to admit
enlarged reproductions.
The court room Is daily crowded
with Interested spectators. many Of
whom are ladies'.

THINKING WHILE DRESSING.

A few days ago one of the leading
journals of the country advanced the
suggestion that if a person would
think while dressing he would work
his brain $50 hours a year more than
at present 1t also had something tc
say TO the effect that the aforesaid
number of hours would more than
double the thinking period Of most
people.
The last thought may have been in
the nature of a confession, but at any
rate the first seemed TO be worth try
ing out. In this age Of efficiency" a
fellow has to test every new time
saving" fad.
Accordingly put the suggestion on
trial the other morning. Standing be-
fore the mirror with razor poised for
shaving | concentrated my mind upon
the horrors of war with it's sinking
vessels and rivers of blood. The thing
became so real to me that | forgot
everything and was not at all dismayed
to see a stream of blood coursing
down my cheek from slip of the
razor. Next my shaving soap glided of
the basin and dived to the bottom
Laconia-like "Those dastardly Ger
mans" | murmured, and went deepe"
into thought.
Intent upon the tug and tussle OF
war. l took a hard pull at my shoe
string-which promptly broke.
Instead of the usual twenty-five min
utes for dressing and shaving, it had
under the improved method taken prac
tically an hour. Nevertheless l felt
that it was worth it and struck out
contentedly down the street.
When l walked inc the office ther5
was a eigle and some one asked
Where is your collar?" To my amaze
ment | found that | had forgotten it
To make matters worse | spied red
necktie sticking jauntly out of my
handkerchief pocket.
l hurried home to get a collar and
was greeted with the news that
had left the hot water running and
had thrown a collar and handkerchief
on the edge of the fireplace.
On the way back to the office | did
some real thinking and came to the
conclusion that if the man who wrote
an editorial on Thinking While Dress
ing" had put more thought into his
writing and less into his toilet, things
would have been much nicer.-Sheri

INCREASE CORN PRODUCTION IN
PROVED CORN REGIONS.

The Secretary of Agriculture has
issued the following statement:
Corn is Americas most important
cereal. 1t can be grown successfully
over a wider area than any other and
furnishes nutritious food for man as
we'll as the staple grain feed for cat
tie and draft animals The produc-
ton of corn should be increased this
year to the fullest extent, taking into
consideration seed, labor, and exist
ing economic conditions, and the avail
ability of good land in corn growing
regions not needed more urgently for
other crops The acreage may well
be increased in most of the country
east of the the Tooth meridian, as
corn, in general, thrives in this re-
gion.
An appreciate increase in the corn
crop is most feasible, however, in
the sections of highest corn pro-
duction Favorable growing conditions
exist in such regions; farmers there
are familiar with corn-growing; they
nave Tie HcScSSdIy SQulpltiShI oNoho
BILE, and have adapted corn produc-
ton to prevailing economic conditions.
Farmers in such regions, through
many years of experience, have learn
ed methods of successfully combating
adverse conditions. They know that
the planting of virile, tested seed in
well-tilled, friable soil, immediate re-
planting of missing hills, and early
and continued cultivation OF the fields
counts for much in the ability Of the
plants to produce a bountiful yield.
This knowledge should be put to good
use during the coming season in or
der that however unfavorable condi
tons may be production of an excep-
tionally large crop may be assured.
In practically every county in the
country in which experience has
shown that corn may be produced
successfully, the possibilities of in
creasing the corn crop without en-
croaching upon other important
crops is at least worthy of considera-
ton, if land, labor, and seed are
available

HENRY s. cAYWooD BUYS
GRIFFITH FARM NEAR PARIS.

The highest price ever paid in Bour
bon county for a farm of so large
acreage, was paid Wednesday by Mr..
Henry S. CaywOod, the well-known

when he become the purchaser of the
magnificent tract of 225 acres of land
located in the edge of Paris, on the
Winchester pike, and known as the

ing house was set on fire by colored
servant employed in the Griffith family

Mr.. Griffith moved Is his farm near

The Town Beautiful Movement.


The real estate promoter is a nee
essary element in town development
His faith in the town and enterprise as
an investor makes a place grow. He
takes chances with his funds, and his
advertising pushes a town along. But
his laying out OF new tracts of land is
not always conducive to town beauty.
There has been a great tendency To
cut up land into too small houselots.
Outlayi1g tracts may be worth but a
small fraction of a cent per square
foot There is plenty of room for
lawn and garden per square foot.
There is plenty of room for lawn and
garden for each house. But the dealer
may think that one 60 foot lot would
bring nearly as much money as two
OF thirty-foot frontage each.
Real estate auctions, with gift fea
lures, balloons, band concerts. etc.
have been feature of DEVELOPMENT in
many places. If they induce people to
buy tiny little lots to be covered later
with insignificant little congested
dwellings. they do not promote the
Town Beautiful Movement"
Thickly placed houses on little lots
give an impression of poverty. The
people are too close to each other.
There is no elbow room. Children.
dogs. and hens roam at will in a thick
ly settled district 1t becomes impos-
kible to develop flowers or shrubbery.
IL grass is planted, the hurrying feet
u children, seeking in vain for a real
playground, soon wear it out.
The cutting up of real estate is a
difficult matter TO control by law. If
II could be well regulated, it would be
blessing. but public sentiment is hos
tile TO much interference with private
property.
People should exercise more sense
m choice of homes. Let them insist
on decent sized house lots. A hun
dred or two added TO cost of land, fol-
lowing by planting of grass and shrubs
and trees, will add many times the ad
sitional cost TO the value of the prop
erty.,
