then l leave You to snswer your own
question. In the first place, you will
note he excerpts, in his scheme Of
"giving," such fees for legal adyer-
tising - the law gives him. Next,
you viii no doubt be surprised to
learn that about six months ago he
made . proposition to the trustees Of
the Methodist church here-they are
Messrs. B. P. Burnhsm, Arthur Hun
and Jesse NJ. Hawkins that IL they
would turn over the county printing
to him. he would apply $500 Of the
fees to the payment Of the pastors
salary! You will judge for yourself
the motive ruling his action. It was
not patriotism; wal it excessive love
for the church and it's pastor, or a de-
sire simply to take advertising from
the REGIsrER3 Just you reason it out
to suit the circumstance. And now
let US get down to brass tacks,
brethren. You will note that Mr..
Pigg carefully excerpts from his "giv.
ing," as follows:
"In all cases where the publication
or advertisement appears in more
n paper in Iron county, I will
charge the usual legal rates ana re-
tain the entire amount of the printers
lee for myself. and my own benefit"
Now, the only duplication or ad.
vertisement'' to be given out by the
Court this year is com prised
IN the publication Of the Primary and
General Election Ballots. The fees
Tor these will amount to from $500 to
s4oo for each paper-e6Oo to $500 in
III. This amounts to six times all the
,ther county advertisements for the
of this year. The REGISTER
will give its ballot fees to the Red

untitled to give. Put up or shut up!
Your proposed manner of service
acks every element of patriotism,
the bltterest envy and PARTISAN
hip could not breed a crazier or more
scheme. Cast it aside
or very shame! Loose your purse
and give from your ample
tore as your neighbors are giving
freely and unselfshly. Give

civil war of the sixties, expressed him.
self as willing to sacrifice all his wife's
relatives to the cause OF the Union.
To-day the equally patriotic Pigg is
anxious and willing to devote to the
the Red Cross every dollar he can
tlch from the REGISTER. Happily
for him he thus may conserve his own
interest, build up a reputation for
free giving, and bat his competitor
over the head, with the Red Cross as
his war club. Noble conception, is it
not, and worthy the Pigg that voices
1t? But he has every inducement
to his patriotic venture: his sheet IL
without standing and of very limited
circulation and something must be
done to mend his pitiable con.
dition; it obviates the sacrifice of
his own dollars and impoverishes his

since I have been given to understand
that he owns q fine farm in st. Fran.

LONDON. January 4.-The Associated
Press has received information that the
American War Department has decided
on rules governing the transfer of
Americans serving with the British
forces to the American army by which
their present status will not be dis
tnrbcd, except in special cases and
where tho transfer ''is plainly i'm the
interest of the United States
The decision. il is said, was reached
on the following grounds
First. that Americans who enlisted
with the British foIccs must have been
prompted 10y patriotic motives TO do
so, and that, therefore. IL does not mat :
ter whether they remain British O. arc

STATE: CLOSES IT'S CASE
DURING THE FORENOON

The State closed its case !. IL
o'clock this morning with the submits
sion of certificate showing DR.. Cham
Scrlain 10 have been a practicing ply
.ician. This followed the testimony
Of DR. Louis X. Leakc. coroner. who
testified as an expert in surgery and
anatomy. Dr. Lcake presided at the
inquest held over the bu,chered body
y. Judge Chamberlain. lie said that
he disarticL attn OF the limbs and the
method of decapitation showed the
work of a master hand. No one not
thoroughly acquainted with the struc-
,urc OF the human body could have
cut the body lie found it, lie ,cs-
.iiied.
DR.. Lcake went into detail a. to the
condition OF the body. avoiding tcchni-
cal language as far as possible in order
that the jury could follow him. lie
said that the head was severed from
the last joint of the spinal column. and
looked as IL il had lain in blood. The
Nertebrac between the top joint and
the joint to which the first rib is at
tachcd and the fcshy part of the neck
had been destroyed. This fact, coupled
with the bulgine eye found in tho
head. led TO the belief that the judge
had been strangled. Proof of stranru-
!ation. however, could not be positive
with the neck and neck bones missing.
The witness then told of the thor
oushness of workmanship in dsmem-
boring other parts Of the body. Where
rigor mortis had set in a. the knee and
elbow joints. the simple operation OF
cutting 4 tendon had been performed.
There was 40 mutilation there. but the
limbs had been folded neatly 10 per-
nit their being placed in the post holes
where they were found. The heart and
liver had been cut in twain. The stom-
ach was never found.
Tho defense opened its case At 1885
o'clock. after brief recess TO prepare
witnesses. Mrs. Elsie w. Chamber lain,
nineteenycar-ol wife OF the accused.
was the first witness. She told OF the
prepare ion for her visit to relatives in
kcarney on the day the murder is al
legged TO have been committed. She
knew OF no trouble between her hus-
band and his brother. and was positive
the doctor had made no preparation for
murder. The post holes in the yard

because the fence down and tho
doctor wanted to repair the fence for
the keeping OF stock for the winter.
Louisa Roatwright. housekceper for the
doctor. called as States witness. had
testified previously that the post holes
were dug AT least week before the
murder. Mrs. Chamberlain contradicted
her.
