Dying Declarations

Notwithstanding the late Jake L. Hamon clared while dying that he shot himself accidentally the Oklahoma authorities believe that he perjured himself like gentleman" and they looking for the If they succeed in finding and con- vcting her the dying declaration which is commonly believed be the essence truth but which has frequently been attacked, will be brought further under suspicion.
 There has always been more or less supersti- tion that looking death in the eye will dare to lie That may be true as to many and perhaps most dying but it has been proved often that the dying has either mistaken else that his hatred intense that his last statement a false one.
 An instance of that was brought up in the courts of this county in a in which prominent citizen was shot from ambush and died a few hours later Jones and Brown shot me" he stated in a moment of consciousness and repeated this state ment just before he died The statement put into legal form and introduced in the trial of Brown.
 Yet it made plain at the preliminary trial of Brown, resulting in his discharge, that he was not present at the shooting and knew nothing it until some hours afterward. Jones later admitted that he had fired the fatal shot But the circun- stances such that the victim certainly did not know who shot him. He fell back unconscious He could not have Jones before the shooting and he could not have recognized him afterward as he rode away.
 These were two though above all others who might have had motive for the killing sus- picion would have attached to them without dying declaration The victim merely shared this suspicion and voiced it in his utterance
 Assuming in the Hamon case that he was mur- dered by woman. he had strong motive for perverting the truth in his dying statement and it will not popularly be held his discredit. It was to turn aside the disgrace which his family would have shared by the disclosure that his was the end of a liason and, for himself he may not have cared for the world that he had died in that way. Moreover he may also have had a lngerine, desire to shield the woman

COAL IN THE MAKING

Peat is not a familiar fuel in the United States.
 More attention is being given to peat now that it is realized that coal, and oil fields not inexhaustibe.
 Peat is coal the making. It is the decaying vegetation which filled lake and turned it into a bog There are great peat beds in this country, some of them in Michigan and Minnesota.
 The chief difficulty has been to devise machine which will dig and dry peat economically. It is not practical to cut peat by hand is done abroad Three months of sunshine required to dry the bricks of peat marsh by hand, and it isn't practical to dry them by baking. That would re- oure more fuel than would be contained in the finished product.
 Minnesota experiments have produced machine which digs peat, grnds it, and spreads it the ground in a thin layer which dries quickly This is a large machine which is said to produce ton of dried ipeat at a cost of s2. .25.
