MILWAUKEE, Special Telegram, March l.
From a Whitewater gentleman who is in
terested in the case Of Nellie Koran, the girl
accused of poisoning her sister and other
members of her family, and whose trial at
Elkhorn has begun, the PIONEER Press cor
respondent learned to-day the line of defense
which bliss 'Horan's lawyers will follow. The
first point they will present is that there did
not exist any motive for the alleged poison
ing; secondly, they will charge the chemist
who examined the dead sisters with incom-
potency. and attempt to prove by the testi-
mony of other experts that the proofs given
by the chemist for the existence of poison
are no proofs at all; thirdly, that the work
of embalming dead bodies by the Injection
of certain chemicals leave effects upon the
viscera OF human bodies similar to those left
by the use of the strychnine; and, lastly,
that the package Of poison purchased from
ters' death. was delivered into the hands Of
the sheriff without having been opened.
ELKHoRS, March LIN the Koran case the
jury has not been completed. 1t is thought
the work of selecting one will be finished SO
that the trial will begin on Tuesday ut the

The offices at Huron, Aberdeen, Grand Forks
and Devils Lake keep no record OF final timber.

In view Of the passage of the bill by congress
to repeal tho presumption and timber culture
laws, a new stimulus will be given to immi-
grafton. Under each of these acts a aettler
can take up 100 acres, and can exercise both
rights at the same time, as the timber culture
law does not require personal residence on the
land. The bill for repeal provides that the
act shall not take effect till July ], 1885, so that
settlers making their filings prior to that
period can secure land down to that date.
1t is apparent that settlers who desire
to obtain land under these acts must do
go during The coming season. AS this
fact becomes more generally known, it
seems probable a strong stimulus will
be at once givon to immigration into those re-
gions OF the northwest where desirable gov
eminent lands are yet open to energy. There
Is no disposition to repeal the homestead act.
Under this a settler who goes on the land and
remains there five years can obtain title for
l6O acres at total cost Of about $50. 1t will,
how"Nerr, be readily seen that those who go
out IN the coming spring will have the advant-
ages OF 320 acres over those who may hereaf-
ter be permitted to exercise homestead rights,
as q settler who has taken land under the pre-
emptlon and timber culture laws as they now
stand can afterward exercise his homestead
right and take 100 acres more. Under the pres
ent laws he can secure in five years $50 acres
ofpublic lands. After the first of July he can
only tako up 100 acres, and must reside on the
land to be entitled to ii.
