dealer and relative, Stewart Is charged
with pooling- lands which be later dis

never sold a dollar's worth . of Idaho

onlv as a move to harass me because
of the land litigation with which I am
connected In Canyon County.
The date of the alleged offense is
named aa December 18. 1900. That Is
about the time that I filed the first
suit against several persons In Canyon
County to compel them to transfer
back to John Young tracts of land fliat
had been transferred by him to sliem
for no consideration or for Insufficient
consideration.
"Mr. Young originally had SZ0 acre
of land near Nampa. a town in Canyon
County. He was defrauded out of most
of it. according to our claims, and I
brought suit for him against G. F.
Mook. president of tho Bank of Nampa:
p. Getter, S. Kesl and the Bank of
Nampa to compel the defendants named
to reoonvey the land to Mr. Young. I
also got an injunction to restrain the
defendants from transferring the land
to any other persons.
"Mr. Young gave deeds to some of
the land to myself and other relatives,
but It was never sold twice.-

Was Paddy Holland born to be a mur1
derer?
Were pre-natal influences such as to
give him a brain, dfstlned to lose its bal
ance? Was the tragedy of November $. in
which Mix Joeophlne Putnam, pretty
school mistress, lost her life, foreor
oalnHl over 17 years ago?
These questions arwe from the testi
mony of Dr. F. K. StcDowell, of Spoksne,
which lasted over four and a half hours
today, and beside being convinced that
the defendant charged wUh murder I
now hopelessly Insane and was insane at
the time of the tragedy, he believes, that
his insanity wis caused by condition
previous to his birth.
As a basis for his belief Dr. McDowell
gave the fact that the father of 1'e.ddy
was a heary drinker, especially at the
time Just previous, to Paddy' birth, and
that the alcoholism of the father was in
herited by the son.
Man's Life Is Retraced.
The further fact was offered that Just
previous to the birth of the man facing
the charge of murder, the father grew
suspicious of the wife and caused her
great worry and distress of mind, which
had nn Influence on the boy. The wit
ness traced the life of the defendant by
the testimony in the case, from the time
of hla birth to school days, when the
hoy was dull and slow to learn, then to
the time he Joined "Coxey's army" and
thereby showed his stability of charac
ter, hl enlistment In the Army for
service in the Philippines, and the later
arts of his life in which he showed that
he was iosing his Judgment.
All these stages showed to the mind
of the witness a gradual degeneration of
mind which was never strong.
The entire morning was given over to
the preparation of the hypothetical ques
tion which will be given to all the ex
pert witnesses and the rending of the
0'iestlon this afternoon took 45 minutes.
The objections to the question and
amendments another half hour, and the
examination on the question until C
o'clock.

How I Made
My Hair Grow
I was greatly troubled with dandruff
and falling hair. 1 tried many adver
tised hnir preparations and vkHous
prescriptions, but they ell signally
failed: many of them made my hair
greasy so It wss Impossible to comb
It or do It up properly. I think that
many of the thinas I tried were posi
tively injurious and from my own ex
perience I cannot too strongly caution
you against using preparations con
taining wood alcohol and other poison
ous substances. I believe they Injure
the roots of the hair. After my long
list of failures. I finally found a slm-
rle prescription which I can-unhesitat-nglv
state is beyond doubt the most
wonderful thing for the hair I have
ever seen. Many ef my friends have also
used It. and obtained wonderful effects
therefrom. It not only is a powerful
stimulant to the growth of the hair
snrt for r,tnrinir o-rflv hslr to Its nat
ural color, but it is equally good for
removing dandrurt, giving me nair me
and brilliancy, etc.. and for the purpose
nf lr.in!nir Ilia M.aln In fimt-clasS Con
dition. It also makes the hair easier to
comb and arrange In nice lorm. nave
a friend who used it two- months and
during thst time it lias not only
stopped the falling- of his hair and
wonderfully Increased its growth, but
It practically restored all of his hair to
Its natural color. You can obtain the
Ingredients for making this wonderful
preparation from almost any druggist.
The prescription is as follows:
Hav T-Mtm C ni ' Menthol Crystals. A
drachm; Lavona dc Composes'. 2 ox. If
roti like It perfumed add a few drops of
To-Kalon Perfume, which mixes per
fectly with the other Ingredients. This,
however, is not neresisar.
Ra, Hiiro in ask the druggist for all
tha enclosures In the Lavona de

titles you to a handsome free sprinkler
top for your hair tonic bottle and you
are alo entitled to receive the free ad
vice of an expert on the hair by sim

enclosed in tne carton.
Apply night and morning; rub thor
oughly into the scalp.

Bride of Week, for Defense, States
She Heard Shot While Talklns
to Husband.
EVERETT. Wash., Dec. 19. (Special.)
With circumstantial evidence the main
reliance of the state and two 'women
scheduled as the principal witnesses for
the state and defense, the trial of Charles
Kirk, charged with the murder of Charles
Montross, at Monroe, was called In the
Superior Court today.
The state relies on the testimony of
Nellie Cady, telephone girl, who say she
saw the murdered man leave tne caiK
saloon, owned by Kirk, under a cloud
of revolver smoke, while the defense will
have the evidence of Kirk's bride of a
week, who says she heard tho shot while
sho we talking to her husband over the
telephone. ,
If the brido's story is correct. Kirk
could not have fired, the shot.
Against this testimony the telephone
girl will testify that the conversation be
tween Kirk and his bride took place be
fore the time of the shooting.
So It will be largely a battle between
two women. Today was taken up in the
examination of Jurors and when court
adjourned about 6:30 o'clock this after
noon the slate had exhausted three per
emptory challenges of the six allowed
and the defense six of the 12 allowed.
The defendant took an active part In the
selection of Jurors.
Kirk's bride sat beside him.
In the examination of Jurors it devel
oped some of them were opposed to con
victing on circumstantial evidence and
several were outspoken in opposition to
the death renalty.
