KxaminHtiuii of Baer for the Murder of Bis
Mac at Spokane Falls.
One of the most remarkable ex
hibitions of public feeling, was
shown during the preliminary trial
of Henry Baer, charged with the
murder of MeCrossin, at Spokane
Falls.
The examination was had before
Justice Curry, in the city hall, ou
Jan. 15. The large hall was dense
ly packed with an anxious people.
The efforts of the liciriew to pre
sent the true facts, as to the mur
der, proved successful in arousing
public interest to the importance
of having a full and fair investiga
tion of the charge.
The following account is from
the Portland Oregonian's special
telegram from Spokane Falls:
Attorney Graves, for the defense,
in his opening address, made a
vicious attack upon the Review for
its course in searching out reputa
ble eye-witnesses to the tragedy,
and printing their statements, so
widely at variance with the white
washing testimony developed at
the coroner's inquest, on which the
surprising verdict of justifiable
homicide was returned. An omi
uons silence greeted his remarks.
When attorney King, for the
prosecution, arose to reply, a ring
ing cheer arose. The court order
ed silence in the room. "Yor hon
or," said Mr. King, ''the Review is
not ou trial here. This is a silly
attempt to avoid the law and create
a side issue. Wre propose to show
that a cold-blooded murder has
been committed upon a public
street. An audacious attempt was
made to drive away reputable wit
nesses and to prostitute the machin
ery of justice. The leading paper
of this city has laid bare this foul
conspiracy, and has dared to do its
duty. This effort to taint the high
services of that journal is a dis
grace to the gentleman attempting
it."
The roar of approval that greet
ed these words was deafening. The
great audience did not applaud
with their hands or feet. Men
yelled and howled until they were
exhausted and hoarse.
The justice grew black in the
face in his effort to bring about
order, but all to no purpose. At
last the mighty demonstration wore
itself out, and on motion of the
defense a continuance was granted
until Monday next. Lawyers who
have practiced for a lifetime declare
they never saw anything like the
scene that was enacted here to-day.
The case remains the ruling sensa
tion. It is talked of on the street,
in restaurants, at home, in offices
everywhere.
Baer has already employed the
law firms of Turner, Foster ci
Turner; Houghton, Jones & Graves;
J. M. Kinnaird, and Griflits, Moore
& Feighan.
FEEDING STRAW TO HOUSES.
Farmers generally agree that
there is much expense in wintering
horses. There is less need for
farm horses during the winter than
formerly, when the forests were
abundant and much of the clearing
was done in the winter. Now
about all the work on an ordinary
farm can be done with one or two
horses, while the rest are not only
idle, but they consume much val
uable food, which, if turned into
milk or pork, would affect the
showing in the farmers' profits.
Since the horses are idle and bring
no returns, they should be fed
with the cheapest food that will
answer the purpose. Nearly every
farmer has a strawstack. The
straw is not supposed to be very
valuable, and therefore it is large
ly wasted by the stock; but as long
as it is turned into manure the
farmer is satisfied. It is much
better to use some of this straw to
feed those idle horses. It will
save the hay, make better manure
and keep the horses in good condi
tion. It is not often that oue can get
the straw sufficiently well stacked
to turn water throughout winter.
Therefore it would be better to
cut down a part of the stack and
put it under shelter. If this is
done now, the rains will not have
bleached it, and it will still be
bright If deferred, the top of the
stack may freeze, which will double
the work. This straw can be fed
to horses instead of hay, and they
will do well by it. They will like
ly prefer the hay, but after they
are accustomed to the straw they
will eat it with avidity. At first a
little salt water sprinkled over it
will give them a taste for it. Straw
acts as a laxative, and, a chan'ge of
food, will afford good results. It
will probably be best to feed straw
a few weeks and then return to the
hay a short time. We have fed
straw to the horses in this manner
for several years, and find it satis
factory. Though it is not consid
ered nutritious, yet, as the horses
are idle, they do not require rich
food. We find there is a good
showing for the straw in wintering
a half dozen horses. The fact that
better manure is obtained speaks
for itself.
.This much for straw as a substi
tute for hay. Straw is deficient in
nitrogen, and it could be fed with
something else that contains
considerable proportion of
this element. Cnt-stnuv uud bran
form a better ration than either
alone. Hence, for working horses
and dairy cows, straw would not
suffice, but being mixed with some- !
..,..!. ,. .... ;t i
tluiiL' else that makes up its defi
cient elements, it can be fed to ad
vantage under all circumstances
This makes an excellent ration for
horses when working, for a change
from the regular corn-and-hay
diet. It is especially to be recom
mended when horses are" unduly
exhausted, and fermentation in the
stomach is to be expected.
Straw and hay cut together and
thoroughly mixed will be eaten by
the horses. It should be remem
bered that only clean bright straw
is nutritious, and that- which is
moldy and weather-stained should
be used for littering. If the sup
ply of straw is limited at the out
set, and it cannot be taken to a
suitable shelter, a shed can be
built over the- stack at small ex
pense, such as is sometimes pro
vided for haystacks. Those hav
ing outfits for cutting ensilage can
probably cut up enough straw for
the entile winter in a short time.
However, if it is to substitute for
hay merely, horses will probably
eat it fully as well uncut, and it is
more easily handled in this form
perhaps. The farmer should
think seriously of making the best
of the straw, since it is not more
difficult to manage than more val
uable feeds, and the benefit derived
maybe regarded largely as clear
gain. Roll. Li. Dean in Prairie

THE KNOUSH CHANNEL iil'.IIM;.
It Will lie Tweiity-fimr Miles Long ami Take
Twelve Yeai-s to Build.
A dispatch to tbe Portland Ore
gonian says: The promoters of the
project for building a bridge across
the English channel propose to
start the structure January 20, be
tween Crisnez and Ambletuse, to
pass over the two rocky banks of
the Yarne and Colbart, ending at
Folkestone, a distance altogether
of about twenty-four and a half
miles, the greatest depth being
about 180 feet, or about double
that worked in at the fourth bridge.
The bridge will be lighted at night,
each pier forming a lighthouse.
The total height of the structure,
measured over all from the bottom
of the foundation to the highest
point on the towers, is 600 feet. It
is estimated the work can be com
pleted in twelve years. The bed
of the English channel along this
route principally consists of a white
and blue chalk, which is by no
means unsuitable for the founda
tion of bridge piers. The main
spans are 1640 feet by 984 feet, the
lesser ones being 830 feet by 328
feet, a clear headway of 130 feet at
high water being allowed for the
passage of vessels.
