OEDES FOB MAS YIN NOT ISSUED Caaaot Arrive I'atll Meaday and Time for Trial Oegat Be Granted, Sara Unite State Attorney Gvss, The trial of the bandits charted with the robbery of the Overland Limited mall train In Omaha, May 22, will be postponed to September 17. United State Attorney Ooei ha received a telegram from Bole. Ida., stating that Judge Dietrich had returned to Boise, and that the order for the removal of O. W Marvin, alia Bill Matthews, one of the al leged participants In the robbery, would probably be Issued late Saturday afternoon. Es plaining the postponement, Ooa said "W have decided not to press the trial of the mall train robbers next Wednesday, but to ask for a postponement until the first day of the next term of court, which will begin September IT. The probability Is that Marvin, who was apprehended In Idaho, will not arrive until Monday. The delay In t"he hearing on the application for the order of removal at Boise has been due to the absence of Judge Dletrioh In Port land, and I do not think It fair to press Marvin's case for trial until he shall have had ample time to prepare his defense. Mr. Macfarland, attorney for the four defend ants, has consented to this arrangement." As a consequence of this agreement. notices are being sent out to members of the special petit Jury panel summoned in this case that their presenoe will not be needed In Omaha July 7, the date originally fixed for the trial. over night and went west via the Union ratfflc.

Baaea ef Aaeieats and Moderns Paaaed Arena by Ike Pre feaslon. Th Bar association of the metropolis of the south tops off each of its meetings with a collation. The collation was hit upon, after much and slow deliberation, by th committee on program, as a means of Inducing the attendance of members. The progress of the meetings msy not be electrifying, but when th members sur round th choice gaatrenomlo delicacies, which are served in the largo marble cor ridor by the court room where the meet ings are held, and get their cigars going tl.ey emerge from the oppressive drouth of the session and loosen up.. At a reoent meeting some of the younger members got started on country trials, lawyers, Judges, Juries, etc. A young lawyer who Is building up an en viable criminal practice told this t A lswyer from New Orleans told me about a Jury trial In a Utile obscure vil lage somewhere In Louisiana. Of course. I don't know Just how true the story may be, but lie looked to me like a specimen of the eminently truthful sort. Btrange ss It may seem, the Jury in this trial was made up entirely of negioe. It seems that all the available white men were either at work or had gone hunting or fishing. And, anyway, It being a case of one negro charged with stealing fiom another, the Interest of the white people of the piece of whom there was a conspicuous minor ity, was not sufficiently Involved for It to make any difference. 'When the evidence was all In and the prosecuting attorney, a white man, of course, had submitted the case without ar gument, the accused, fortunately, had ns counsel the Judge, also a white man, or' dared th Jury, which could not agree in the box, to retire to an adjoining room and find a verdict. "The Jury retired. An -hour passed, and still no verdict At last the Judge could stand it no longer, and went In person to the room to see what was delaying the verdict He found each of th Jurymen orawllng around on the floor, peering under chair and tables, and also Into cor ners. Th court was amased. He did not know whether th whole Jury had gone crasy or what was the matter. " 'Here,' he thundered, "what are you niggers doing?' "The foreman arose, and, making hum bis obeisance, answered: " Yo' honah, taln't no use; we Jes' kalnt find no vuddiot In die her room. Fact Is, yo' honah, I doan b'lleb Ore's a vuddiot in her nohow.' '"That," said an attach of a firm of cor poration lawyers, "la as bad as th country Judge in the Southern part of Wsst Vir ginia. It was Ms first case, and the prosecuting attorney had to coach him all th way. When the case was finished the pros outing attorney said: " 'Now, your honor, the next thing Is for you to oharge the Jury' "The Judge hesitated for some minutes, and then said: . , "Wall, gentlemen of the Jury, bln' as this was a short trial and only a hog stealln' case at that, I'll charge you only SO cents apiece.' " The yarn reminded a divorce lawyer of another country Judge, who was holding down a bench somewhere In the mountains of eastern Tennessee. It was a shooting case, and whan the evidenoe was aU In and the argument over he charged the Jury like this: Well, gentlemen, if you believe what the prosecuting lawyer has told you you'U decide against the prisoner, and If. on the other hand, you beHev what the lawyer for the defense has told you you'll decide tor the prisoner; but If you know both lawyers as well as I do you won't know which way to decide. Tou'U Just have to do the best you can.' " Btlll another country Judge was recalled, this oqe a Kentuckian, who, when the counsel in a case that had been tried be fore him wanted to argue it said: "Oh, all right' boys, go ahead and argy But I've got to git back to my corn plow In', and when you've finished argyln' you' find my decision writ in the book here The telling of thee obvlouely truthful aneodotes was stopped by the young crlm inal lawyer responsible for the first story, "You don't have to go to the country,1 he said, "to hear and see things of the limit variety. How's this for right here In townT A young chapI'm not going mention his name who was one of the as slstlng prosecuting attorneys, was conduct Irg a case where on woman had caused th arrest of another for assaulting her and calling her a lot of unmentionable name. ' He put the woman on the etand and directed her to tell the Judge Just what the other woman had called her. " 'But I can't do that.' she said, with surprise. " 'Oh, yes, you can,' replied the young prosecutor. 'As a matter of fact, you' have to.' " 'But I Just can't,' Insisted the woman. 'Why, It's not fit for any docent person to heart' " 'Wall, then.' he said, cheerfully, 'Just step up and whisper it to his honor.'

"Kerry Patch," a section of St Louis stretching along Cass avenue and O' Fall on street, In former years famous for Its abundance of kids and goate, la dragged from Its obscurity by reason of being the birthplace of Mrs. Mary Agnes Ruls. whose suicide in London recently excited the gossips on both si dee of the Atlantic. As Mary Agnes O'Brien, daughter of a boiler maker, Mrs. Ruls spent her girl hood years In the Patch, snd was the petted belle of the region. St. Louis papers relate that little Mary Agnes attended the Everett school, on F.lghth street between Cass avenue and O'Fallon street Her es capades while a girl, coupled with her ex traordinary beauty, made her famous In St Louis. When she was IS years old shs ran away from home, was gone for some time and returned from New Orleans In a box car. She left, St Louis some ten or twelve years ago. Not long after that she mar ried a New Torker named Hilton, from whom ahe received a large fortune at his death, shortly after the marriage. Her money and her beauty combined to make place for her In the exclusive society ef New York. Rumors floated back now and then to the Patch, telling of the social conquests of ths "little queen." Little heed was paid to these, however. Word 'came, finally, that she had married Senor Ruls, an attache Of the Cuban legation at Wash ington, a man of great wealth. It was not until the summer of 1904, during the Louisiana Purchase exposition, that the Patch saw her again, and was able to believe how their favorite had risen In the world. Dr. WUllard B. Bhelp, a dentist In the Carieton building, was able to recall her reappearance In St. Louis at that time and to contrast it with her former post' tlon. "About fifteen or sixteen years ago," said Dr. Shelp, "one of the most beautiful brunettes that I have ever seen came to me. She told me her name was Agnes O'Brien and that she was poor, but wanted some work done. She asked me to make the fee nominal if I could, and do the work for her. She had well nigh perfect teeth, and I consented. The fee I charged was small. 'One day during the summer of the world's fair a stunning woman, tall, slen der and dressed in the quiet richness of detail that characterises women of wealth and taste, appeared In my reception room and asked If I remembered her. I was obliged to confess that I did not. 'I am lime. Ruls,' ahe said. That meant noth ing to me. " 'Do you remember a little girl coming In here some ten years ago Mary Agnes O'Brien for whom you did some work for nothing almost T' And then I remembered her. She told me that she was stopping with her husband at the Buckingham club and that she had her brother) Frank, with them. " 'I want you to fix my teeth and my brother's, and you can make the price what you like. I don't forget what you did for me before,' she said. "Well, I did the work for her and her brother, shs coming down each day In her automobile., On the day her brother's teeth were finished I heard some eonver satlon between them In the room about the tickets.' When they left, Mme. Ruls sssured me that I should send out my bill ths next day and It would bs paid, I did so, and was Informed at the Buck Ingham that Mme. Ruls, Senor Ruis and Mr. O'Brien had departed suddenly the night before. It was the neatest double cross I ever encountered."

The ranch fence encloses about 12 square miles. Not all the land Inside the fenoe belongs to the "F" ranch, a part of It being held by non-resident owners. Before announolng our purchase of the ranch, we had purchased r so- cured option on a great deal of this land, so that our total holdings embrace nearly 1.000 acres. The main body of this land was purchssed at a very low price, and within three days after the announcement or purenesa we had sold 1,180 acres to men In Kearney who are our regular clients. The price at which we sold to them (and at which we are offering the land to all comers as long as It lasts) will enable the purchasers to sell again, if they so desire, at a price lower than the price which owners place on land surrounding it and yet make a good profit on the Investment. This being a good sized deal and a quick turn, we are satisfied with a small profit per acre, as we can sell much of the land a second time and thus make two commissions.
