THE WARD MURDER TRIALS.
Acquittal Of Lair-Probable Change
of Venue.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

GRAND FORKS, July 16.-The charge of the
court in the Lair case is regarded as q strong one
and dead against the defendant. After declaring
that the land case cut no figure in the criminal
case at bar the court instructed the jury in this
vigorous language on the theory Of self-defence
set up:
If you find from the evidence that after the de-
ceased, Charles Ward, had ceased firing from the
door,h cried out that he gave up or surrendered,
which was heard by those OH the outside and he
was told to come out and did come out and run
from the shack in an attempt to escape, and you
lind that when some distance from the shack he
was shot and killed, this was murder, and nothing
that had occurred previously furnished any justi-
fcation fer the killing, either by way Of sefde-
fence or otherwise-if this fact be true, the time
for self-defense to be necessary had passed.
In the Lair case the verdict of mot guilty.
returned at about II O'Clock last night, creates
general surprise. Many indignant remarks were
made. The court held the jury until ? this
afternoon for developments. The jury claim
that they acquitted on the ground that he was q
reporter of the Inter ocean and went to see the
fun and get items, not intending to participate !;
could not satisfy themselves that Lair fired the
fatal shot; did not believe he went there for the
same purpose the others.
No other of the cases was called to-day. The

ious for trial. The Lair jury has been discharged
except II. j. Halbrook, of Grafton, who is held
under recoguizance for alleged perjury IN rdire
dire. He was sworn to the necessary quaifca-
tions of an impartial juror. Alexander McQuan,
of Grafton, now comes and swears he heard the
juror say in June, at Grafton the Ward boys
ought to have been killed, and have their hearts
sliced out, and other words disquaifying him
The defense explain that his language was quail

ed in the morning. The remaining cases will

The Milwaukee Bank Failure.
Especial Telegram to the Globe


MILWAUKEE, July 16.-Considerable excite
meut was caused to-day by rumor that the re
ceiyer of the collapsed Manufacturers bank was
ready to make report, and that The showing
was very bad. The report was finished last night,
but it will not be made public until next Monday
1t is asserted that it will show that the bank was
most wofully managed aud that the assets are
100000 or 100000 short of the liabilities.
The bank, it will be remembered, failed
some weeks Sgo for nearly half
million. While the report will show that the
failure was not brought about by frauds of any
kind, it is asserted that the management of the
bank amounted almost TO criminal carelessness.
1t seems to De the opinion that the assets will not
pay the depoSitors fifty cents on the dollar. The
creditors generally believe that President Albert

NEW YORK.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, July 1G.-The stock market to-
day has been dull but marked with some very
sharp changes owing to the reports of business
failures. The opening was strong for the gener-
al list and prices later were still better, with
subsequent reaction. But there was little
business and the reports that went
the rounds Of the street showed that there was
no confidence. The fact is that the actual fail
ures in business circles generally, so far as an
nounced. are regarded as indications of the
future, and more are expected to follow, and
trust companies are asking per cent for time
money and do not care to make call loans There
have been reports of trouble with locol banks
but they are unfounded thus far, especially as
concerns an up town savings bank. Present
prices are about the same as yesterday for the
Changers and Gould stocks, except Missouri
Pacific, which is ~ per cent. lower Wander
bits Michigan Central closed last night at 81 and
opened this morning with an offer at 50, and is
held at SO with peg, and substantially no trans
actions.
The reported run on certain indianapolis banks
has had bad effect in stock circles to-day, cou-
pied with the assignment of the Ironton, o., iron
works and the English failures consequent upon
the assignment of Edmund Yard " Co., of this
city, large dealers in white goods ana with LA
bilities Of upward Of S50OO0O. This firm is an
old and supposedly wealthy one.
Boody, McClellen & Co. say ''Stocks were
active and higher this morning. The favorites,
as on yesterday, were the Grangers, Central and
Hudson, Delaware & Lackawanna and Union Pa
| cifc. Western Union Telegraph acted better,
also advancing TO 553S. The buying was
excellent in all the leading properties
| and the feeling quite buoyant.
The market held firm until the announcement OF
the failure of a leading house IN white goods
with liabilities of over S500,000, when prices
yielded and there some free selling of stocks

lies followed these depressions. though later
prices receded on reports of more trouble, and

midsummer dullness characterized

orders appeared to be few and far between.
These occasional failures dampen the ardor of
many operators though they receive an offset
in the encouraging reports from the wheat and
corn growing sections throughout the west. The
declines have been sufficient to close many stocks
below the quotations at the finish last evening
The market was decidedly tame at the last.

NORTHEAST DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA.


BY the way, to show you how rapidly that
country is growing, banker was telling me that
where eighteen months ago the range between
Devils Lake and Larimore, fifty miles, did not
contain more than few thousand dollars worth
of improvements, the township of Devils Lake
is now assessed for $250,000 of improvements
alone From DEVILS Lake we took the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad south, passing
through Minnesota and there / saw what had
never seen before-a real paradise for wheat.
1 stood in one field and as far as the eye could
reach there was nothing but sky
and wheat. 1t was the grandest
sight of the kind / ever saw. Much of the
wheat was headed out, too, and all of it looking
splendidly The soil along in Dakota and
Minnesota is peculiar. 1t is rich black loan,
with enough sand in it to keep 1t from clogging,
and it has this advantage: in winter 1t freezes
several feet deep, and it does not thaw out until
August Meantime If they have dry season, as
they had last year and the year before, the frost
beneath the surface, melting, sends up enough
moisture to prevent the grain from dying, and
they have good crop anyway. They raise a
good many hogs up there too
600 pounds. They feed them on chopped up
potatoes and barley and within certain limits can
raise them cheaper than can here, They only
REQUIRE to build houses of sod as peotect1on In
winter Their wheat straw they use as fuel in
running harvesting machines, but their oat straw
lie diffrent from ours and is they claim, equal to
our finest hay. Altogether the country is glo-
rious one and think II the people Of st. Louis
knew moe abont it there would be a rush IN that
direction that would soon fill up all the available
space.
AS far as the whsat crop is concerned, don't
see how they are going to get cars enough up
there to bring all the wheat to market"
Speaking Of the cattle convention, Mr.. Mat
thews said it would be one of the best things for
the cattle men and for st. Louis that could have

portance The cattle men In the Northwest
were all very enthusiastic about 1t, and would all

How He Secured the Discharge OF
Commander r. ID. Evans
Through Billy Cham

Especial Telegram to the Globe I


WASHINGTON, July 16.-Thero is considerable
Indignation in naval and social circles caused by
an order issued by Secretery Chandler relieving
Commander r. D. Evans, assigned to duty IN
the light house district covering Chesapeake
Bay and adjacent rivers. 1t seems that the ]oD
to remove Evans was looked up early in April.
but, in the case Of DR.. Wales, the secretary OF
the navy did not have the nerve to make the re-
moval in opposition to the personal
and written solicitation for Evans re-
tention by many Republican senators and othersA
1t is said that Malone had appointed colored
politician Of Virginia to the position OF light
housekeeper on the James river. This individual
desired to employ substitute and place him In
charge OF his light house to enable him to get oil
to attend number Of political meetings in Ma
homes behalf The commander declined to sane
ton such an arrangement, and thereby greatly
diSpleased Mahono who, it is said, has diligently
sought the commanders removal ever since.
Since congress adjourned, however, Chandler
made out tho removal. and during his absence
from the city to-day had it issued. .
Evans was brave and fearless man during the
war; and bears scars to-day made by men who
wore the same uniform Malone did. Besides,
Evans is said to be one OF the most competent
officials in the naval service. 1t will be seen that
Malone, an ex-confederate brigadier, is able to
have removed from positions worthy men who
served on the union side during the war with
distinction and credit. The removal was made
in the face of earnest protests from large num-
Der of the most prominent business men of Bal
timore and Washington. 1t is said before Chan
dler left town, to further serve Mahone, he called

The Cause of Buffers Silence.

CHICAGO, July Information has been re-
ceved from close friends Of Gen. Butler by b.
F. Shivey, secretary of the anti-monopolist COM
mittee, dispelling the doubts regarding Buffers
candidacy for the presidency on an Independent
ticket, and stating defnently and positively that
he will run. Shively, who is at the Briggs house,
this city, expressed to-day, the most absolute
certainty that Butler will be candidate with the
endorsement Of the Greenbackers, anti-mono-
polists and probably laboring man. Buffers re-
fusal at present to make public statement,
Shively says, is prompted by desire to first see
what will be done by the convention of labor
representatives to be held in Chicago July 30.

A party Of capitalists Of this city, consisting Of
N. G.. Larimore, Leonard Matthews, W. H..
Thompson, H. L. Newman and few others,

and the country through which they passed.
A CATTLE PARADISE.
| "If there ever,was cattle heavon," he said
s'it is Montana. We ran up to St. Paul and
thence across the country to Miles City, where
we left the railroad and struck off toward the
south about 10 miles Hero we spent some
time, ard from my examination Of the country l
don't think it could be excelled for cattle raising
The grass, which grows to q considerable height,
is so luxurious that the people say if you ride a
horse all day and then place grain before him he
will turn from it to eat the grass. Then If the
weather should be such as to injure it, it only
does for about half its length. The lower por-
ton remains fresh and green, and in the spring
| begins to grow again.

walk around $40 cash. That calf, il it is q bull
will be worth in three years S35 or 40. If it is a

! in that country than it is here because it in

| Why, 1 was astonished to see car
