warrants it. The line traverses a terri

SALOON CASES GRIND AWAY
No End in Sight on Sunday Question,
for New Jury Is Called.
BAKER CITY. Or., April 4. (Special.)
The trial of the liquor cases was resumed
this morning in the Circuit Court. The
case of the State vs. Gus Anderson, of
Bourne, who was tried last week for
keeping his saloon open on Sunday, and in
which the jury failed to agree, wag called
again. The regular panel of jurors was
exhausted and a special venire was issued
to Sheriff Brown to summon jurors. A
jury was obtained and the case proceeded.
At the present rate, and judging from
the statements of the District Attorney,
these cases will occupy the attention of
the court to the exclusion of all other
business for the next two months, at
least. Senator Rand remarked today that
he had heard enough along a certain line
of cross-examination of witnesses, and
that he was tired of it. District Attorney
Lomax replied that he would hoar a great
deal more of it before he was through
with these cases.
It is costing the county thousands of
dollars, but both sides are very deter
mined. The saloon men seem determined
to fight. The Sheriff and District Attor
ney seem determined to keep on arresting
and trying the saloon men so long as they
insist on keeping their places open on
Sunday. In the meantime, the people who
have to pay the taxes are looking serious.
The Anderson case went to the jury at
9 o'clock this evening. The jury Is still
out.

SEES A FAR-OFF "MILKY WAY"
Barnard Finds Nebula Whose Light
13 Fifty Yeara In Reaching Earth.
LOS ANGELES. April 4. A wonder
ful new "Milky Way" has been re
vealed by the great Bruce telescope,
which has jupt been erected on Wil
son's Peak. Professor E. E. Barnard,
announces that upon developing a plate
taken two night ago with a long ex
posure covering the region in Sagitta
rius, there was found in the lower left
hand corner a whitish appearance with
edges sharply defined. It was a hitherto
unsnown nebula, so remote from our
system tho.t no accurate estimate of Its
area can be made.
The light that emanates from it
traveling at a speed of 1S6.030 miles a
second, might take more than half a
century to reach us. A thousand solar
systems such as ours may be spread
out within the confines of this nebula.
This discovery is regarded of great im
portance to the science of astronomy
