Heney entered the courtroom shortly before the Terdlet was announced and sat at the end table near where be was shot. It was his first appearance since be was shot. Z Men and women rnshed to secure vacant places in tbe courtroom or thronged about the entrance. The bailiff rapped for order, and an In tense silence pervsded as the jury filed Into the courtroom and took their seats. The stillness was brok en by Judge Lawler, who warned the onlookers to make no demonstration. He next glanced at the Terdlet and banded It to the clerk, who read It aloud Just as he pronounced the words guilty as charged, a newspaper man arose from his seat to ware a sig nal to an associate standing in the rear of the chamber.

' Ruef was sitting by bis aged father, and though his face paled, hie eyes remained fixed for a long time on the men who pronounced bla fate. Almost his first thought was for the elder Ruef, to whom he whispered a few words of encour agement and sent him from the room to break the news to his another and sister. Judge Lawler, as soon as the Ter dlet was resd, discharged the jury and thanked them for the unusual services exacted of them. Judge Lawler set next Saturday as the day for pronouncing Judgment.

The Jury left the box at once and through Judge Lawler declined to make any atatetment re lating to the number of ballots tak en or any feature of their delibera tions. Ruef's customary cslm re turned In a tew minutes and he lis tened to the expressions of regret from his friends without a shade of motion. He declined to make any comment on the Terdlet, saying he did not wish to have his utterances distorted. Heaej Was rherM. As Ruef mounted the steps to en ter the prison Tan that conveyed him to the Jail there was a few faint Jeers from the crowd, but the pres ence of the under-sheriffs who sur rounded him would hsve discour aged any concerted attempt at a demonstration, had any existed. Ten minutes before the verdict was returned, P. J. Heney arrived at the court to consult with Judge Lawler. Hla coming had been her alded, as he alighted from an auto mobile, and posed for the newspa pers' photographers, a man on the sidewalk proposed three cheers, which were given by the crowds across the street.

Then Aalmal Chased Owner sad Both Weat I'p la I be Air. Tom Buchanan'a pet dog took sick the other day and Tom thougbt It would be a humane act to relieve the animal of Its aufferlnga by kill ing It. So placing the dog In a bas ket he carried It to a field on tbe outskirts of town and tied It to a tree. Then carefully tying a stick of dynamite closely to the dog's tall he lighted a long fuse and ran to await results from a safe distance. He bad gone only a few yards when he heard a familiar bark close behind him, and turning waa horri fied to find that his dog had broken loose and was now close at bla heels Tom gave a yell and set out to break all sprinting records. So did tbe dog. Apparently recovered he yelp ed with Joy at the prospects of a race with bis master, and as a sort of rud der to guide him his stubby tail stuck straight out with the stick of dynamite still tied snugly to It. Buchanan bit onl ythe high places, but his dog continued to gain him. At the end of another 60 yards he glanced back again. The fuse waa sputtering dangerously close to the dynamite. Suddenly there was a loud report and Buchanan felt himself hurled In the air. He doesn't remember when he came down, but he has a vivid recollection of awak ening several houra later with thumping headache and a number of painful cuts about his face and arms where rocks torn up by the explosion had hit him. acrea In township 37 south, range 2 west; $4000.

Davis, charged with the murder on the morning of September 2 of Dr. Frederick Rus tln, this morning agreed upon a ver dict of not guilty and ordered the discharge of the prisoner. It required 19 ballots to reach an agreement. The first ballot stood 11 to 1 for acquittal on the charge of murder in tbe first degree. Tbe lone Juror stood for four ballots on his stand. It Is not believed that any further prosecutions will be undertaken In connection with the killing of Dr. Rustln unless unexpected evidence should be discovered. County Attorney English, who con ducted the prosecution, waa much disappointed over the verdict. "Will Mrs. Abble Rice be prose cuted?" he was asked. 'Well, I should say not," replied Mr. English. "She will be released. The case which the state made against Davis contemplated. If It did not establish, the Innocence of the woman as to the commission of the murder." Mrs. Rnstin, widow of Dr. Fred erick Rnstin, the dead man, has gone to Haverhill, Mass., to make her home with her parents. WILL INQUIRE INTO RATES.
