SEVEN CARS OF LIVE
 STOCK 60 FROM HERE
Newark livestock Co. Breaks Record on Single Ship
 ment from Newark

The Newark Livestock Com pany shipped six cars of cattle and a car Of hogs to the St. Louis market Tuesday night. These six cars of cattle con- prising something like two hundred head were all native raised, and were bought by this firm from the farmers in nearly all localities in this sec tion. Many of these animals were bought in exceedingly poor condition, some being badly underfed and in rough looking shape, and to take the whole bunch over when ship ped and note the number of fine, heavy, well-rounded ani- mals it might hove been hard to convince seme persons that they were the same bunch of cattle.
 This bunch of cattle handled by the Newark Livestock Gom- pany demonstrates the value of feeding cattle on the farms, or at home. For example many of these animals, when purchased by this company were thin and covered with ticks, and had they been plae- ed on the market at the time cf their purchase, would have brought very low price. When the feeding process was commenced the cattle were also dipped at regular inter- vals, which destroys ticks and leaves an animal in better con- dition to thrive.
 Systematic feeding, with balanced rations caused the cattle to start gaining immed- lately, and some of their ani-

Grand Jury Ad-
 jOurned Friday

The grand jury finished its labors for the present term of circuit court last Friday and filed the following report with the court.
 We, the Grand Jury for the Spring Term of the Indepen- denee Circuit Court, having finished our labors, desire to make the following report.
 We have been in sesion for ten days; have examined 112 witnesses and have returned in- to court 51 bills of indictment. We have diligently inquired in- to all violations of the law of which we had knowledge or received information and where we were warranted by the evidence have returned in- dictments.
 We have examined the re- ports Of the various Justices of the Peace and find all have reported as required by law.
 We have examined the jail and find nine inmates; all seem to be we'll kept, furnish ed with plenty of wholesome food, good place to sleep, and the inside of the jail is in good condition.
 We wish to recommend that a six-foot fence be built around the jail at the expense of the County in such manner as to preclude persons from Fassing in and out at the rear and side of jail and talking to the prisoners except when deemed necessary by the Sheriff. We have investigated the County farm and find 23 inmates; 21 white and two col ored; 8 males and 15 females. The inmates seem to be well provided for and receive kind treatment. We approve of the management and conditions generally there, very heartily commend MT. Duncan for his successful management of the inmates and the institution gen. erally.
 We recommend as follows: First-A brick flue for kitchen to take the place of a defect i've metal flue, also new wall paper for living room, kitchen and dining room. The paper on the walls in these rooms are in bad condition. Second We recommend that all build ings and especially the inter for of the rooms of the wards be painted. Also the erection of a poultry house and yard. Also a gravel floor around we'll and a sufficient reservoir for water supply.
 We have examined the court house and find it in good condition, except a few minor repairs. We recommend that this be attended to at once. We recommend that three tele- phones be placed in the Court House at the expense of the county in the following offices: Sheriff, County Clerk and Cir cult Clerk. We further recom- mend the employing of a jani- tor for the County Court House at a salary not to exceed $50 per month; and court house yard to be cleaned up and kept in good repair.
 We very heartily commend the County Judge for the re- pairs that have been made on the court house in the last few davC

 In Second Degree

the prosecution consisted of Frank l.. Stephan. Twin Falls county at torney; Roy l.. Black, states attor- ney general; and E. A. Walters, for mer district court judge. For the defense w. P, Guthrie, Homer c. Mills and A. R. Hicks appeared.
 Because of the extended notoriety given the case difficulty was encoun- tered in impaneling q jury, a week being consumed. In that period three special yeniFes were drawn, each of 40 names. The first of these was dismissed because of ineligibility of Sheriff E. R. sherman to act as sum moning officer. ". c. Thompson was selected by the court as elisor, the two special yenires being brought into court by that officer. In addi- ton to these 80 yeniremen, the orig inal pane! consisted of 75 men. Prac- tically the entire total of 155 names was exhausted before the completion of the jury.
 Witnesses were called from Miss ouri, Montana. Tennessee and Cali fornia. In all 1S2 witnesses were named to appear on both sides, but not all were called to the stand. The state listed 142 witnesses on the in- dictment, while the defense named about 40. Hypothetical questions, to- gether with clinical discussions as- sumed the greater portion of the five weeks devoted to the trial. Many physicians. chemists and similar professionals were called upon to give testimony as expert witnesses.
 The trial proved a legal battle from the start, with counsel locking horns on scores of important questions arising during the progress of evi- denee taking. Probably the bitterest battle was waged over the states re- quest for permission to introduce evidence relating to death of hus- bands of the accused other than the one named in the information. The court ruled this testimony admiss- able.
 Physicians In some instances con tradicted testimony of other expert witnesses especially on the question of the death cause. The defense throughout maintained that in all in- stances involved death resulted from natural causes.
 Analysis made by Herman Harms, Utah state chemist, E. F. Roden- baugh state chemist of Idaho and F. R. Deoley, Twin Falls city chemist, all agreed as to the presence of poi son in all bodies examined.
 On the stand the accused woman maintained an unperturbed attitude throughout long grilling by the prosecution, which failed to derive any important admissions from her.
 Every session of the trial found the court auditorium filled to capae- ity, principally by women and girls.

His informant Senator Watson said. would face the senate and answer all questions.
 The French government and Gen. eral Lafayette, were criticized by the Georgia senator in commenting on a statement by Newton D. Baker. for mer secretary of war. that the sena- tors charges were ''preposterous and incredible 2
 Referring to Mir. Bakers statement that Frarfce was a civilized eoun- try" and that word of any illegal executions have spread widely, Sen ator Watson said that France had charged America for trenches and playgrounds used by American troops.
 "Oh yes, France Is not a bowling wilderness but a civilized country" " the Georgia senator continued, from which Lafayette came upon a writ t6H ConIfaCt 1lduS WlIn CtiSeld- pledging this country to make him a major general before he would leave France, and it was to America: and he did not have sense enough to drill a company of soldiers, besides which he sniffed.

I mean to take him down peg or two. know r Lafayette and Washington knew him, and it was not Washington who had him released from that Austrian pri- son into which he was put when the French army chased him with the intent to kill.
 Tt was Napoleon Bonaparte In the treaty of Campo Formio. Yes, I know Lafayette. He betrayed every French government that trusted him and the only independent command he ever had in America, came very near getting bagged by Benedict Ar mold, and it was only the James river that saved Lafayette and his com mand from being captured"
 After this and parliamentary dis pute or two, the senate made no change in the resolution mentioning Senator Watson's charges generally. Committee members said privately that they intended to limit the in quiry generally to the principal charges made by MT.

 An unsuccessful effort was made tonight by Senator Townsend, Re publican of Michigan, to have the 3 per cent tax on automobile trucks and wagons repealed.

 J. F. McDonald. former sheriff of Cochise county, was the principal witness in the case and told of talk ing finger prints from glass jars found at the still by officers follow ing the shooting. Lees finger prints Mcdonald said, were found on the jars. In the soft dirt under a tree about F feet from the spot where Alfred was shot, Mcdonald said. he found the prints of a mans shoes and these prints, he said, were the same as the impressions made by shoes worn by Lee at the time of his arrest.
