FOUNO GUILTY fkaa RnkmI r'oand ttullty f Murder In the Meeond Degree. Tkc TrUI. The second Russell trial has gone down in history. The description that follows tell the story of tlie second trial in a very graphic manner. The jury brought in a verdict yesterday afternoon. Mur der in the second dagrje is this verdict. Three days are allowed by law for the tilin? of a mo'.ion for a new trial' before the sentence is pronounced. Chadron,, jseb., Jan. , 1.2 After a trial which lasted all tlu week the fate of Charles Uussell the slayer of Louis Staudenraaler, is now in the hands ot a jury. It will We remember ed that this case was tried In Sioux county,, where the crime is alleged to have been committed, auil the de fendant wa convicted of murder in tlte Brut decree and the cane was ap pealed to the supreme court. That tribunal reverted the judgment of the district court and remanded the cane for a re trial. A motion was then made for a change of venue on the ground of the prejudice against the Je.fendr.nt in Sioux county and Judfe Harring ton of O'Neil, who presided, granted tkc motion and ordered Cie case lo lie tried in Dawes cotiuty. More than fortyx witnesses from SUnix county have been In attendance all the week and much interest is be-1 injr taken in the outcome. The larye court room would hardly accomodate the bpecalors. The defendant was represented by .Judge .A. V. ('rites and V. II. Fanning of Crawford and the state by County Attorney M. J. O'Connell of Sioux county and M. F, Harrington of O'Ncil. The evidence against the accused is purely circumstantial. The murdered man was found oh the prairie with' eleven bullet holes through his body one bullet lay upon his wrist, a if placed there as an aci of bravat-o. The evidence tended to chow that the bullets taken from the deceased's body were molded in the mold of the defendant from the fact they had a Haw that was found In the r. old. , Tracks were also found of a horse from where the body lay to the de fendants house. The tracks were made by a horse that had a piece cut out o one -oL,lbe horse 'a hojfw ami defendant's horse had a piece out of his hoof. It ftrfs aim shown he was in iK ui.-initr n( the ul.'uu; where de- - , i ceaHed was found early in the morn-' itig the crime wascommitted. It ws also shown that beuasa bitter enemy of the murdered man and had threat ened to kill him several times. The defendant proved an alibi by the members of his family, which prac tically was all the defense he had. The attorneys were nrgns the case all day and the jury was In structed at tl o'clock Saturday even ing. M. J. O'Connell. county attorney ot Sioux county, opened for the state in a lengthy and exhaustive argu ment of the evidence. Judge Wcstover then instructed the jury on the law covering the case. Ills instructions covered every phase 'of the ease and were very explicit. During the argument of tbe case the father of the defendant had stat ed be was going to kill Harrington as lie feared hi argument would eon vict hi ton. This wa brought to the att cntion of the court and he in structed Sheriff VV, F. IJurdsallto find Mr, Kussell and search hi in and If armed to place him under arrest. He wag searched, but no firearms ere found on his person. It is thought he his Included ever the matter so much that he m a little unbalanced. Dur ing the cloing argument the sheriff and his luliff Vept close watch to see that be di' not enter the court room. I All through the trial the court room wat crowded and much Interest is taken in the result of the case. Opinion Is divided a to the outcome. -World Humid. f liedrick Nelson, of OIn, wim in tbe city Monday closing up a deal between tiinmlf aufl Lnr IVUrson.

The palm worm of India, a white, oily insect, about three Inches in length, is considered a delicacy by the natives, whether eaten raw or cooked in vari ous ways. It ia sometimes united with flour and made into cakes, or It3 oil Is extracted and used as the base of gravy and sauc.ei! as an appetizer with other food products.

'J8-0 A Balanced Aqunrlou, One of the sorrows of Dr. Spencer who is In charge of the Aquarium, is the persistence with which casual visi tors plague blm for advice as to how to build and keep a balanced aquarium. Such an aquarium Is one in which the vegetable and animal lives balance each other so perfectly that it is not necessary to change the water. Dr. Speocer has one In which the water has not been changed for eight years "Do tell me, Mr. 3pencer," said a girl graduate from Boston the other day, "how I can balance an aquarium,- Flrsi my fish die, and then my water plants die. and then they both die so fast that 1 feel almost like a murdress every time I start a new balanced aqilarium." "It takes several things for a perfectly balanced aquarium," said the superin tendent. "You must take planorblnac, mullusca, fungi, phytozoa or zoophytes and any member of the class algae." "Yea," aald the fair Inquirer, "then what?" "Mix them with foity years cf experience, miss," said Dr. Spencer. The girl graduate from Boston almost lost her glasses as she flew out of the loor.
