L & Durrant, Alleged Murderer of Two Girl, Now Awaits Trial for HI Life. Theodore Durrant, the medical stu dent, h:is Iveen held, without bail, for trial in the superior court at San Fran cisco to answer to two charges of mur derthe killing of Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont in Emmanuel church. Police Judge Conlan, in reviewing the testimony introduced at the prelimi nary examination in the Williams case, laid that in his judgment the prosecu tion had innde a showing sufficient to convict tho defendant, as there was not a link missing in the chain of evidence. Immediately after the inquest in the Lamont case the preliminary examina tion of Durrant commenced. Only two days were consumed by the prosecution. It was shown that Durrant was seen with Blanche Lamont on the afternoon of April 3 in the street cars. Three girls, schoolmates of Blanche, posi tively identified Durrant as the man who met tho murdered girl near the normal school and accompanied her down-town on the Powell-street car. The conductor of the car also swore that Durrant was on the car with Blanche Lamont. Martin Qniulan. an attorney, saw Durrant and Miss La mont enter Emmanuel church at 4:10 p. m. At 5 o'cliKk Durrant camo from the tower in a weak and fainting con dition. He admits his presence in the tower, but says he went there to repair the lighting fixtures and was overcome bv escaping gas. The janitor of tho chnrch swore there was no necessity for repairs as the lights were in perfect working order. A new witness added great strength to the case against Dur rant. A pawnbroker testified that Dur rant offered to him Blauche Lament's ring. The pawnbroker positively iden tified the ring and DnrranL The dead girl's jewelry, it will be remembered, was sent to her aunt soon after the mur der. At the conclusion of the testimony the jndge denied the formal motion of the defendant's counsel to dismiss the case aud held the prisoner without bail. Durrant still maintains his cool de meanor and does not appear at all wor ried. His conduct in this respect is most remarkable. He simply denies his guilt and in the most commonplace, matter-of-fact way disensses everything bnt the tragedies of the church. So far the accused murderer has shown no signs of weakening. His alleged alibis have been destroyed by the very people ho hoped would prove his statement. No defense has been outlined by the de fendant or his attorney. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

He had been pinned down in the bed of the creek by sap lings, staked to the ground, there to die a lingering death of fearful pain and sufferinsr. The story was tojd that whitecappers had perpetrated the crime, U. S. Crop Bulletin for Oregon. . The government weather report under date of April 2!Uh has this: "All correspondents unite in the excellent crop prospects. The warm weather gave a great impetus to the growth of vegetation. The fruit hlossoms are rapidly falling and the young fruit appears to bo strongly set. In some very few limited localities the frosts in the forepart of the month did some slight damage, but in the main fruit districts no damage has been done by frosts and the fruit prospects were never excelled at this date. Tho period for damage by rain is passed and only once in 20 years past, has a damaging frost occur red after this date, hence a large fruit yield appears to be assured. Tho grain crop is doing well; fall grain has a healthy color, having rooted and stooled well and prom ises a heavy yield ; spring grain is doing exceedingly well; the cereal crop was never more promising at this date than it is this year. The stock has good and plenty of food ; it is all fat ami in prime condition. If climatic conditions were made to order, they could not have been made more satisfactory to vegeta tion than those of the past week have been. Chemical Dehorners. Hoard's Dairyman says that while there are several chemical dehorners on the market, the cheap est and simplest consists of a stick of caustic potash. I he operation is performed as follows and is usually successful, if performed before the calf is three davs old: The little animal is thrown on its side and held while the operator clips the hair oil the lttle prominence on the frontal hone, which marks the spot where the born would be developed if not interfered with. He then takes the stick of potash, dips it in cold water and carefully rubs it over the part just clipped, for the space of say, ten seconds. The calf is turned over and the same operation gone through with, llv this time the first side treated is ready for the second application of the caustic, which should conform exactly to the first. Follow the same proced ure on the remaining side, where the matrix of the embryo horn has been locate!, and if the caustic has been properly, applied, no horns will ever appear. When the opera tion is delayed until the calf is a week or more old, the chances of success are materially diminished. although successful oj e ationshae been known when the animal was l.'i to 20 days old.

' Nocturnal creatures assume night ac tivity for some other reason than that they cannot see by day, or that they see bettor by night.
