The interview was made public with

was to acknowledge the courtesy Of

when on the witness stand in cir

testifying against Roy Miller,
charged with criminal assault,
Doris Boney Of Moline, the com

of hysteria that threatened serious
consequences. 1t required the

in check. Her cries penetrated to
all sections of the court house and

attempted to bite and kick at those
who endeavoTed to soothe her.

THE conclusion of her testimony
The last question directed at her
by the attorney for the defense
provided the spark. Miss Boney
swayed unsteadily as she stepped
down from the stand and she was
crying bitterly. A friend came
forward to give her assistance. In
full view of the jurors she fell
heavily to the floor. Ready hands
went forward to her aid. AT the
first touch her rawlings commenced

In view of the possible effect
that the commotion may have had
upon the jurors sitting on the
case. Cyrus Dietz and Thomas p.
Sinnett, attorneys for Miller, pre-
scented arguments in court this
morning for the dismissal of the
jury and the summoning of new

attorney Edward Eagle requested
an adjournment of court to allow
him time to prepare his arguments
in opposition to new jury. He
was given until o'clock this aft

that it walked, or rather rolled, upon

Since the early days of her congress
sional life, beginning with the Fifty

the debates in Congress, particularly

were conspicuous factors at that time
still hold high place in general es-

Another old-time relic was a chair

by some pioneer, but nobody knows
who he was. The chair was found to
be quite comfortable and was in daily
use.
One object of the meeting of the
Sons and Daughters of Pioneers was
to secure additional furniture for the

malady, which veterinarians designate
as forage poisoning, or cerebrospinal
meningitis, representatives of the bur
eau Of animal industry and the Colo
RADIO agricultural college began a Wig
orous campaign, which it is believed
has effectively checked the epidemic.
The fact that in the outbreak of 1912
Kansas lost some 10000 horses in
icates the serious possibilities of such
an occurrence and the value of speedy
protective measures such as the fed
eral and state experts have taken.
The cause of this disease is not de-
finitely known, but it is believed to
be due to eating some form of fun
gus grouth. In response to questions
in behalf of farmers and others whose
animals have been stricken, the bur-
eau of animal industry has sent out
a number of kilograms informing own
ers that work horses in the afflicted
areas should not be permitted to Craze
and as far as possible they should re-
ceive only hay and grain rations from
last years crops. Horses in pastures
should be removed to barns or dry-feed
lots, and should likewise be fed only
hay and grain rations from last
years crop.
