Murder Of Sever C.

The Grand Jury.

Charles A. Sorenson returned last even

of witnesses. and this forenoon the prelimi
nary examination of MAIDS p. Hanson
charged with the murder Of Sever G. sor'
~renson in March last, wa held at the cour'
house before Justice G. w. Roberts.
VIM. T. Schoregse. young attorney No

defendant, and District Attorney French fol

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the
information charging him with murder, and
the court proceeded to the examination Of
witnesses.

was William Lee, who testified ~ follows:
I reside at Madison, Lake county, resided
there in March last ; saw Hanson there in
March last ; there was a maj with him who
called himself sorenson they were at my
house together, and staid there from 2 or 8
o'clock in the afternoon Of the 21st ofMarch,
1879, until the next morning; were not at
my house together after that they had two
teams loaded with goods; said they were
going to Swiss lake or Lake Boduce I; left my
house on the morning Of March 22d; I
think it was Friday that they first came to
my house; On the Tuesday following I saw
the defendant, Hanson; Sorenson was not
with him; when they left my house together
they went toward the Swiss settlement;
when Hanson came back alone he had in
his possession two pair of horses ; n of the
teams was the same they had when they first

other team was the same that Sorenson droye

TWO POINTS.

There we're two noticeable points brought
out in the State prison investigation, yester
day. Two of the committee stated that con.
victs told them privately that they were
badly treated and poorly fed, but that they
were afraid to testify. They were assured
that they would be protected, but upon ap.
pearing before the committee, though alleg-
ing that they were not AFRAID to testify, they
declined to substantiate what they had pri-
vately stated.
Now let the reader analyze this matter a
moment. 1t can be readily understood that
no assurance of a legislative committee can
protect a convict IN the prison, no matter in
how good faith the pledge may be given
The prisoner well knows this. He is at the
mercy of the men having him in
charge as soon as the committee is
outside the walls. Deputy Warden Hall
escorted these prisoners, singly and alone,
from their work to the committee room, and
after coming in contact with Hall they de-
clined to swear to what they had stated pri-
vately. Hall, himself, declares that he exer-
cises terrorism over the prisoners, and is it
not apparent that he intimidated these wit
nesses and prevented their testifying? Why
did he not allow some of the guards to bring
the prisoners into the committee room if he
was willing to have free examination?
The second point was the argument OF
Fayette Marsh, attorney for the prison, who
alleges that Saltwater wishes to be relieved
of the eye-sore: and would gladly vote the
entire concern out of town if possible. A
committee has been struggling for some
weeks with liberal propositions from dozen
different towns seeking second State prison
while the town having tho one already in OK
istence votes it a nuisance, which the people
would be glad to abate.

adoption of a standard that has long since
been discarded. Nevertheless it has been
shown that this is the only unvarying stand
ard that has yet been devised, and it is the
only one that cannot be dishonesty used.
1t Is one in which the farmers have full
confidence, and can work no injustice to the
purchasers.
The penalties prescribed by the bill in
question may seem to be excessive, yet they
are none too high to prevent violations or to
protect the farmers from the impositions OF
the rings that are so plenteous all over the
State. If an example is made of few
men who attempt to violate the law by the
imposition of heavy fine, all cause of com.
plant will soon cease. The bill will nc
doubt pass substantially as it is published.

WHEAT GRADING.

We publish elsewhere the bill introduced
in the House yesterday by Mr.. W. M. Camp
bell, from the special committee on that
subject, providing for the manner of testing
and grading grain. The measure is not,
perhaps, absolutely perfect, but it will be
found to meet the emergency very accepta-
bly,. One good feature of it is that it estab-
fishes distinct grade of Minnesota wheat
grade that will have to be recognized in all
the markets of the world, and give to our
cereal products the reputation which they
deserve.
It has long been notorious that Minnesota
wheat is the best for milling purposes that
is produced in any other section of the coun-
try. When kept apart from other wheat it
commands better price than any other
mixed in elevators and warehouses with
grains Of an inferior quality, and its value
has thus been deprecated. The establish
ment of a distinctive grade will compel
warehousemen to keep it separate from other
grains, and thus the producer will derive the
full benefit to which he is entitled by the
superior quality of his product. The pro-
posed grade is much fairer than that estab-
lished arbitrarily by the boards of trade of
the lake cities which have heretofore gov
erned purchasers in this State. There is
but a pound difference between the first and
second, the second and third and the third
and fourth grades. The advantage of this
narrow margin will be apparent at a glance.
If farm ers wheat does not quite come up
to the weight of a given grade, he is not
compelled to sell it at a price that wheat
three or four pounds lighter brings, but he
receives price nearer to it's absolute mill
ing value.
The bill does away completely with the
swindling brass kettle. The, committee
has devoted considerable time to an
investigation of the instrument, which has
convinced them that it can be and has been
manipulated to the injury and loss of the
producers. Experiments in the hands of
those who are the most anxious to have it
retained have shown that no two tests have
absolutely agreed, and the variations have
often ranged as high as three pounds per
bushel, If these inaccuracies we're apparent
even when manipulated by its friends with
the purpose of proving its accuracy, it was
apparent to the committee that it should no
longer be recognized as a standard of
weight, and so they agreed unanimously to
dispense with it, In its place the standard
half bushel has been adopted. TO some
this NAV appear like step backward-the
