THE SEWS OF THE BLUFFS , A Now Witness Appears to Toll of Main's Killing. TWO BURGLARS 'SENTENCED Worse Rumorn About Clock's Mntrl- ntonlnl nuroiu The Slander Jury Wtttitft A Majority Vote Taken Mian FrccninnN Thanks. The CofTinnn Cnsc. The trial of A. W. ColTman for the killing of J. K. Mnln , got ftiirly under way yesterday. Much of the evidence will bo the same In substance as on the preceding trial , nncl the case will not probably bo long before the court. 'Die first witness yesterday was .Too Blake , of Avoca. IIo did not see the be ginning of the trouble between Main .and ColTmnn , in Tyron's restaurant , but when ho first Haw them Main was at tacking Coffmnn. Ho did not sec Coft- man draw the revolver , but saw it in his hands anrinstant nftor the shooting. It was still smoking. Dr. McConnuughoy was next put upon the stand to testify in regard to the post mortem hold. There were no marks upon Main except the bullet wound in the side of the face , the ball going backwards and lodging near the base of tlio brain. The next witness was B. more sensa tional one. Ho was the new witness , who has boon expected , but who has not testified in the preceding hearings. Ho gave his name us .Tiihnur Solsby , and his present homo in Shelby county , near Portsmouth. IIo was a farm hand , nnd was working hero and there as best ho could. Ho helped stacking in ColTman 's Hold on the day of the homicide. Ho was in the Hold in the afternoon when the trouble arose between Coffmnn and Main. It was a hot day , and ColTman , coming to the Hold , found Main rbsting in the shade of the Black. ColTman did not like this , and got on to the stack and worked a little while himself. Ho told Main that ho did not want anybody to hteal his money , which beoined to bo another way of denouncing what ho doomed Main's loafing. CotTinan and Main had bomo words and ColTman told him ho would pay him olT that evening and ho could go. He also told Main that ho would give him a .hreshing. In the evening , at the res- aurant , ColTman and Main mot , and ftcr ColTman had paid him , Main said 10 was ready for that threshing. Coff- [ ian called him a dirty epithet , and soon ollovvcd it up by blows. Tncn Coffmnn topped backwards a few feet and struck .is . heel against a. keg or box and sort of alf stumbled over , but immediately itraightoiicd himself and Main said that , hcrc was no us'e of having any further rouble about the matter. Just then the vitness "heard a shot , and saw , ho revolver in ColTman's hands .ml Main lying upon the lloor. The oross examination was very try- tig on the witness. Ho admitted that 10 was from 160 to 200 yards from the stack all of the time Main and CptTman , voro having the conversation in the Hold. Ho was busy , too , loading grain jnto a wagon. As to the shooting scene , ho said ho was not in the room , but wiib standing on the stop outside looking up and down the street , and that at the limo the shot was Hred ho had his back toward both men , nnd could not toll in ivhat position they stood. Ho was also examined as to his history , and the fact brought out that ho was working wher ever ho chanced to got a job , and that a part of the time ho slept in sheds or out of doors. The cross-examination was not com pleted at time of adjournment , nnd will bo continued this morning. Dr. R.

Some time ago a service was hold in the Congregational church of this city n the interests of the sulTorors by the Nebraska blizzard , and on this , occasion the pastor , Rov. G. W. Crofts , paid n merited tribute to Mies Frcoman , a full report of which was given in the Buu. A hymn was also sung , written by him for the occasion , and another poetical tribute was penned by him , and np- pcarod in the Intor-Ocenn. Miss Free man has written to him , expressing her appreciation of the words spoken nnd sung , nnd extracts are given from this , as they prove interesting as indicating somewhat the character of the heroine of the storm : "I thank you from my heart for so magnificent a tribute as you have given mo. I am sure I only tried to do right. It was my plain path of duty in which I was led. I am thankful to know it hns nil ended so well. . My sympathies go out to those who suffered so. So. mnny messages of love , hnvo come to mo from hearts I'm sure nro true there's a pleasure in that. But the notoriety has brought some unpleasantness , though in nil my life it is as it always wr.s enough to bo plain Minnie Freeman with the love of my friends.

Dlfllcultlcs the GcnltiH Meet * * In Secur ing Appreciation of Ills Efforts. The Washington Correspondent of the St. Louis Glebe Democrat writes : It is the little thing that brings the inventor money , " says a veteran ofllcial of the patent olllco. The man who pat ented the idea of the return ball nothing but n sphere with nn clastic string , which brought It back to the hand when thrown made more money out of it than Morse made out of his telegraph bender and receiver. There was a fortune to the man who applied the idea of ratchet lacing on shoes to ladies' kid gloves. The boll punch was another tremendously lucky hit. In ono city alone the rents to the inventor for the use of his punches ran as high as500 a day. Most people have an idea that a pat ent carries the indorsement of value. It doesn't do anything of the kind , as the enormous collection of utterly Wbrth- BSS contrivances in the model room oos to show. When the application for lie patent is laid before the examiner asks himself the question is this something now. Havirig after consulta- ion with the records answered himself n the atllrmativo , he reports favorably n the application. Tlio question of itility never enters into consideration , f it did would the inventor of the tape worm trap have been able to obtain a latent ? It is hardly probable. The trap is n ilver case , rounded at the top and bot- , om so as to present no rough edges. The top is removable. Attached to the top is a ring , to which a strong silken cord is tied. The idea is to have the [ > atient starve himself ni\d his tupo- ivorm as long as he ran stand the misery. Then the silver tube , with a ittlo food in the bottom of it , is lowered down the throat and into the stomach , where the tape worm is by this time in a mood to forgivo. The tape worm speedily scents the food in the tube , pushes his head into the hole near the top of the cylinder , gets part of his body fast in the jagged points within and is hauled out. Some of the earlier patents for rail roads seem ridiculous in this advanced ago. Fifty years ago a genius devised a plan to save the time of stopping at stations. His idea was a curious [ xrrnngomont of circular platforms. The lower and outer platforms moved slowly ; the next ono n little more rapidly , and so on. The passenger intending to take the train stopped from ono moving plat form to another , Rnd when he reached the last ho was in motion at such a rale that ho could stop on a train going at pretty good speed , Another inventor of transportation had nn idea of making gravity do the work of steam. Ho had a cable stretched above the earth. At each station was a balloon which was anchored. This balloon was allowed to rise and lift the cable. Then the car attached would run down hill to the next station. A plan to increase speed was to have several tracksone , above another. The lower track was stationary. The second track moved on the first at n rate often ton miles nn hour. The third track moved on the second nt a rate of ton miles which made its total ratq twenty miles. In this way speed was increased to the limit desired , but none of the wheels moved at n greater rate than ten miles an hour. Of course those ideas never got beyond the antiquated models over which visitors to the model room now indulge in mirth. The prohibition movement hns prompted some queer inventions which the patentees doubtless thought would go like hot cukes in Maine , Iowa , Kan sas and the local counties in other states. Ono of these contrivances is the anti-prohibition cane. It is hollow nnd hns n tube extending out just back of the handle. It holdb a pint of whisky. Then there is the whisk broomdesigncd for travelers i n prohibition states. It is a pint flask cleverly surrounded by what appears to be n broom , but the top of the handle unscrews and there is the neck of the bottlo. "Will you brush the dust out of your throat ? " is the invitation which goes with this device. Some inventor , who realizes how dis agreeable is the custom of going out bo- twcon acts , has patented a peculiar pair of opera glasses. His contrivance has a largo cylinder between the two glasses. This tube has a neck which projects just below the handles. The tube is large enough to contain four or five good > lnipd. " The glasses can bo elevtt' ted and tlio drink taken without excit ing any suspicion from those not in the secret. The anti-prohibition literature is ox- tensive. One sacrilegious Inventor has patented what appears to bo a bible , but what is really nothing but a case for a bottle , and another has chosen tin imita tion outside of ono of Dickons' novels for the same purpose. Any subject that engrosses public at tention is sure to sot genius to work in that particular direction. A year ago this winter there was a series of railway horrors. Collisions 'ind broken rails caused wrecks , which speedily caught flro from the stoves , and passengers fastened in the debris wore burned to death. Immediately the applications for patents on heating devices for cars began to pour in forty , fifty and sixty a month. But it seems that none of thorn haye mot the long-folt want. The trouble with patentees , -who start out to meet one of these popular , demands , is , that they have one object in view and. overlook come of tbe requirements nec essary to insure'success. . Thus ono fnvornblo idonwith inventors of car heaters has beou to put a reservoir of wntor nboVo the fclove and empty it by a valve .arranged , i to work only when the turned ovor. The trouble' with thcBo inventors is , they did not seems to think o [ the scalding steam whichwould bo generated. Ono of the novel IdciM is a largo door in the side of the car where tlio steve stands. When the accident occurs the door is expected to lly open nnd thb , ' steve to tumble out. This , however , works only in case of the car turning ever on ono side. There have boon nuinQiijus patents taken out on the idea of having the heating ap paratus in n small oar by itself , with pipe connections through the train. Ono original idea is to have two pipes with funnel mouths extending out in frontof the engine on cither side. As the engine moves along the cold air rushes into the pipes , is curried along through the bailer nnd boated , nnd thence trans ferred to pipes running through the cars. cars.But the big round vessel of.oll to bo carried on top of the car is on email's purely original motion. His idea is to heat the steve with oil instead of coal , and the supply is to bo carried in the spherical reservoir on the roof. This vcbsol is so attached that as soon as the car topples ever it unfastens itself , nnd goes rolling off across the field out of the way. Tlio supply of oil being thus cut off , the steve goes out. A part of this plan is a contrivance which , as the car turns ever , sends a puff of com pressed air through n plpo and blows out all of the lights. Numerous patents have been taken out for inclosing the car steve in a fire-proof compartment. There is ono arrangement which , when the crash comes , lets n heavy casting in the form of a hugo cap fall over the steve and confine the flro. The general objection which rail road men niako to tncso car-heating pa tents is that they call for too much out lay.Within Within n week there have como from the Pacific coasts reports of a discovery which is to revolutionise the principles of rainfall and make the barometer hide its face in shame. The idea is to &et forces , which will outwit nature , nt work among the clouds nnd thus make the rain fall whether or no. The princi pal agency is a balloon , which is to bo anchored to the ground. The Pacific coast genius may hnvo an improvement , but the mam feature .of his plan is al most as old as the patent olllco. The iden-of an anchored balloon with elec tric connections to fire chnrges of pow der nnd produce concussion nmong the clouds has been long patented. Entirely original ideas arc very scarce now , as would-bo inventors discover weekly. There came to the office some time ago , as the story is told , ono of the most eminent of the able clergymen of Washington. He had the inevitable package under hislnrm nnd putting it upon the table iaJront of the commis sioner ho dreW out 'hls pocket book to pay the advance fco. The ofllcial looked at the machine nnd then at the clergyman. Then'lie went to his library and brought out a book and kindly sug gested that the goad- man should rend it before ho ventured any money on his machine. The book was a history of the attempt to produce perpetual motion. The clergyman ran over the pages rapidly. Suddenly ho stopped and read with care. Then ho closed the book , handed it back with a word of thanks , wrapped up his machine and went away More than 100 years ago that same ma chine had been invented to secure per petual motion and had scored thos usual failure. * " The clergyman was honest in the be lief that ho nnd solved the secret and that nobody that had ever hit upon that particular idea before. Patent olllco officials say that in the great throng of inventors more depends upon the man himself than upon the in vention. The story of the wise inventor and the foolish inventor is oft repeated. The foolish inventor obtains a patent upon an idea really valuable. His bond is in the clouds. He refuses otTer after offer for the purchase or for an interest , always demanding more than somebody is willing to gix-o. The years go by and the idea is still unproductive. Some day the wise inventor comes along , sees the idea of the foolish inventor and claps upon it an "improvement , " which is perhaps no improvement , but only such a modification as enables the wise inventor to got another patent on the idea. Immediately the wise inventor skips away from Washington , and a couple of weeks later ho and his smooth tongued agents are selling county and state rights. An "inventor" came to a patent law yer ono day with a machine which was covered with patents. "Make some change , " ho said , "I don't care what , to that you can got mo a patent on the machine. All I want is the patont. " So the lawyer sot to work and suggested n change which wns anything butan im provement ; it was really a damage to the original machine. But being a dif ference it passed for an "improve ment. " The inventor got his patent , aud ns ho paid the too ho said to. his lawyer : "Now , I'll show you what I wanted it for. " HO started out , and when the lawyer heard from him again ho had cleared $7,000 from the sale of county rights on his "improvement. " But the above represents an unworthy feature of the patent business. There are often slight changes which are real improvements and which yield the pat entees handsome returns. A man in San Francisco thought of a now form for a saw-tooth , aud has niado over 8100,000 out of his patent on it. Pat ents on toys are illustrations of the little tlo things that pay. Ono of the most interesting cases in the great model- room is that which contains the toy money safes. There is the representa tion of a cormorant with a slit in the hend. When thd { coin is dropped in , the bnck opens for moment nnd n tan talizing figure appears. Then there is the representation , of a cashier who takes the coin , moves to the bank , de posits and comce , back for another. There is a man with a hod which tilts and drops the money where it cannot be got except by koy'An automatic fig ure With n contribution box is another design. There ai'q ' several hundred ol these little nafee | some of thorn with elaborate contrivances to encourage the habit of saving. ' An Elk'H Battle With Bavajto Dogs. Lander ( Wyo..J ) correspondence ol the Globe-Democrdt : A stockman lust in from the Wind river range tells a story of n fierce nnd exciting battle be tween a courageous old elk and the wilt dogs that infest the Wind river region. The river escapes from the mountains and hlls into what is known ns the basin district ever high nnd beautiful falls named the Maiden Hair. Whllo riding near those hills u few days ago the btookman'e attention was attracted by a deep baying and , at once recognising the sounds as coming ftom ; the savage dogs , and realizing the necessity of get ting but of their way , the horseman rode rapidly to the top of a neighboring high hill , which commanded an excel lent view of the falls and also of the sur rounding country. Ho had scarcely reached the top of the hill when ho saw dashing along a high rldgo runnim parallel to the river , a magnificent bul oik- hotly chased by _ a dozen or more mountain dogs. The race had evidently been on for Bomo' time , for the elk up cared to bo about exhausted nnd the logs were not in the be&t of condition. On swept the pursued nnd the pursuers , every bound bringing the dogs nearer ho haunches of the tired elk. Sud- lenly the elk changed his course nnd ilunged down the sldo of the ridge , naking straight for the falls. Ovor- uinglng the edge of the river nnd tow ering directly above the pool at the foot of the falls was a huge rock On to this ock lho bull made his way , nnd plnnt- ng himself within n few feet of tb edge and with lowered antlers awaited , ho attack. Ho did not have to wait ong. The dogs came 'on with a rush ind hurled themselves nt their proy. iMrst ono and then another dog was ; aught in the elk's antlers and sent lowling into thb depths bolow. Just when the fight was the hottest the TOOK or ledge upon which the battle was bo ng fought suddenly gave waynnd with i crash , the combatants wore dropped nto the water and rocks at the foot of ho falls , and their bruised and bleed- tig remains were swept on down the tream.
