Murder Trial at Glencoe, Minnesota,

In the trial of Charles W. Hays at Glencoe,
Mcleod county, last week for the, murder Of
James E. Chesley, the prosecution introduced
thirteen witnesses in behalf of the state, and
the defense introduced about the same number.
The prosecution fully established the fact
that Hays killed Ghesley, as charged, on the
9TH day of April last, by striking him with
pitchfork The defense proved BY it's witnessed
that trouble occurred about dividing the
grain while thrcshing on the farm of the de-
ceased, carried on by Hays on shares. After
harsh and insulting words from Hays towards
Chesley, the latter proceeded toward the pris-
oner, who was on the straw stack The pris-
oner warned Chesley to keep back. but he
pressed on towards Hays, who in self defense,
as prisoner claims. struck Chesley two blows
over the head with a pitchfork to prevent
Chestly from assaulting him. The defense re-
lied on the plea that the act was done in self-de-
Tense, while the prosecutor proved by two or
more Witnesses that Hays lad several times
threatened the life Of Chesley. Both Hays and
his wife testified
The jury, after being out eighteen hours, re-
turned with verdict Of guilty of manslaugh-
ter in the fourth degree. Judge Macdonald
immediately sentenced Hays to one years jm-
prisonrnent in the county Jail, the lightest pen
atty imposed by law.

FROM WASHlh;lTu1::,


A Washington dispatch Gays: 1t is rumored
that the Minnesota senators are not in entire
harmony in relation to some pending questions
about federal appointments. The chief bone
of contention is about the Office Of United
States district attorney. Senator Mcmillan fay
ors the appointment to this Office of Mr.. J. N.
Searles, of Hastings, while Senator Window
supports Mr. D. B. searle, of St. Cloud, for
that position. Senator Mcmillan also insists on
the appointment of Fl. r. Denny, of Carver, to
the Office of United States marshal in place Of
Gen. McLaren It is understood that Window
will not oppose this appointment provided Nc
MILAN will Withdraw his opposition to the ap-
pointment Of the st. Cloud man for district at
torney Minnesota politicians here think this
compromise has already been virtually agreed
upon.
There is probability, to say the least. that
if Representative Ortiz introduces q resolution
to change the method Of appointing the house
power, it will receive g. very large support.
There are good many members outside the
class who are dissatisfied with their assign
ments who believe the speaker has too much
power, and for such reason the appointment of
the committees should be taken from him.
Now that MIR. Blaine has retired from the
cabinet the members of the diplomatic corps
are willing to talk more freely as to his foreign
policy, and it is plain that it was regarded with
anything but admiration. His attitude toward
Great Britain excited special wonder. Upon
the whole the aggressive policy marked out by
the late secretary impressed many of the
dipomatists IS uncalled for, i'll advised, danger
GUS ard even ridiculous
1t is said on high authority that Judge Ad-
vocate General Swain, in reviewing the court
martial proceedings in the case of Cadet Whit
taker, has raised the point that the court was
Illegally constituted, because it was ordered by
President Hayes without any request from q
department commander, and that therefore all
the proceedings were void.
Plenty of evidence is developing to show
that there is to be a lively discussion over the
bill to- pay the expenses of Gen. Garfeld's last

Brave Bear to be Hansed,

At Yankton, on the 9Th, Brave Bear, an In
dian chief, was convicted of the murder Of Joe
Johnson, about 25 miles cast of Fort Sully in
1879. The evidence against him, though
strong, was all circumstantial. Among the
witnesses who testified we're E. Fl. Allison, the
celebrated Indian scout and Mrs. Clifford, a
half breed, and the wife of a discharged soldier
at Standing Rcck. Allison played an important
part in securing the surrender Of Sitting
Bulls people, and from his testimony it ap-
pears that while at Standing Rock Brave Bear
told Allison that at a certain point he had $500
buried, and that if lie would go with him to get
it he (B1ave Bear) would give Allison 5000;
that he had taken the money from man named
Johnson, whom he had killed, and that he had
killed Johnson for his horse and his gun, which
he had wanted to use in making raids with Sit.
ting Bull, and that he found 81. 900 upon the
body of johnson. It also appeared that about
the time the dead body Of
johnson was found, near the
place where Brave Bear stated he had COM
mitted murder, chat Johnson had been working
for the post trader at Fort Sully, and had been
paid off, and was going to visit his brother,
who lived in the James valley. Allison identi
fed the gun which johnson had tried to sell
him, and which Brave Bear said had belonged
to the dead man. TIE horse which Brave Bear
had was also identified as Johnson's. Mrs.
Clifford testified that at that time Brave Bear
had plenty of money and that Brave Bears
former wife, whom he had discarded, saw him
commit the deed. The wife was sent for but
could not be found. Three other Indians, two

by the court and who was not able to secure

the Judge was short, but to the point. The
jury were out about half an hour and brought
in verdict Of murder.

Experiments in Feeding.

The superintendent of the model farm
at Guelph. Canada, gives as below the
results of some experiments made there
in cattle breeding:
1. A steady frosty winter is better
than an open one in feeding cattle.
2. An average 2 or year old steer
will eat its own weight of different ma
terials in two weeks.
3. Two or year old cattle win add
one-third of a pound more per day to
their weight upon prepared hay and
roots than upon the same materials UNI
prepared.
4. 1t is 80 per cent. more profitable to
premature and dispose of fattening cattle
at two years old than to keep them up
to three years.
5. There is no loss in feeding cattle
beast well upon a variety of materials
/ for the sake of manure alone.
6 Farm-yard manure from well-fed
cattle years old is worth an average of
| So. 80 per ton.
z. A 3-year-old cattle beast, well fed,
! will give at least one ton of manure ev-
cry month of winter
8. No cattle beast whatever will pay
for the direct increase to its weight from
the consumption of any kind or quantity
of food.
9. On an average it costs II cents for
every additional pound of flesh added to
the weight of or year old fattening
steer.

A Sly Old Horse.

Anent The Blues" have heard a
charming story illustrative Of the wonder
full intellig ence of some horses. One
evening the officer on guard, hearing a
noise in the stables. concluded that
horse must have got loose. He there
fore went with Corporal of the guard,
and, looking through a keyhole saw an
old troop-horse lifting up the lid of corn
bin and munching away at the oats.
The officer ratified the door by mistake.
The old charger instantly cooked his
ears, stole back to his stall, artfully
slipped his head back into his halter.
and awaited events as if nothing had
happened. Seeing this, the officer and
Corpora pretending to be deceived,
after looking round the stables, went
out again. So soon, however, as the
horse heard the lock turned upon them,
he slipped his halter and attacked the
corn-bin again. After this the crafty
old warrior was firmly secured--Loll-
don Figaro.

Fine Breakfast.

A breakfast such as had never before

set before DIR. Eermes, the director Of

pared in the presence of his guests.
They were broken up into frying pan
containing the requisite modicum of
melted butter. The eggs have no yelk,
but are filled with a grayish-white liquid !;
the shells are neither hard nor brittle, as
in birds eggs, and, after being emptied
of their contents, resembled pieces of

was Iikened to that of mashed potatoes
