It was expected to use him as a witness in Jarvis trial Monday, but, while admitting bis own guilt, he failed to give any testi mony oonneating Jarvis with the orime. The jury was out only a few minutes, agreeing on a verdlot of not guilty on the first ballot. The jury oonsisted of L. Knlps, L. B. Brown, G. A. Jackson, Wm. Bawlings, W. J. Drumhill, R. Laird.

On exhibition at the Medford ex hibit building are two relics of an age prior to any of whioh traces have been found In Southern Oregon. These relics oonslst oi two stone Im plements whioh were found on the head of Snyder creek In the Same Val ley country by Thomas H. Browne. They bear unmistable evidenoe of having Deen fashioned and used by man. One Is some eighteen inohes in length, four sided and tapering from some two inohes in diameter to a point. Its possible use was to re move the pelts of the animals slain by tbe man of the atone age, to which these relics belong. The other shows evidenoe of some considerable skill in its fashioning. It is shaped some thing like a tailor's goose and has a rude handle oemented to it. That the man of the stone age understood the making and use of cement has never before been known, but that imple ment is a standing proof. The line of tbe oement oan be plainly seen and it is as firm now as it was when it was first laid years ago. This imple ment was likely used to dreBS the tildes removed by means of the first named, and, being found together, both probably belonged to tbe first master tanner on earth.
