pleted today. In his address to the jury

sorry note for $4,000, which is

this city to await the ultimate effectua-
ton of that measure. He also stated it
had become notorious that at the same
session corrupt combinations were
formed by members of both branches Of
the legislature to sell legislation Of that
body to purchasers for price. He then
referred to the suit recently brought
in the superior court by one Taylor,
an alleged agent of the Combinations,
to recover portion of the gain said to
have been made by such methods and
said it was the duty of the jury TO in
vestigate the facts upon which these
rumors are based. Any offense COM

ties are colored. The men had always
been warm friends. Pete johnson a
mutual friend, came to have his hair

barber, invited him to chair and be-
gan the operation. Wallace, who was
standing near, remarked that he wanted
Maddox to shave him when he got
through. "All right" said the barber.

men since Wallace had made his last

walked within two feet of Wallace, who
never moved, and raising the ak,
brought it down on Waalaces head, the
force being so great as to drive the blade
up to the handle. As Wallace fell,
Maddox still holding on to the handle
of the ak, walked out the door, and
leaning the ak against the house, took a
pistol from his pocket and said to John.

tussle Maddox finally got the weapon
free, and, pointing it at johnson. told
him to stand back; if he didn't he would
shoot him, too. Maddox then walked
to the corner of the house, and putting
the pistol to his breast, said: Good

instantly.

CLOSING THE ELEVATORS.

1t is being charged that the railroad
commissioners, having made it impossi.
BILE for the elevator companies to operate
public houses in North Dakota, have
thus taken from the farmers the privi-
lege of storing their wheat, unless they
are fortunate enough to have granaries
of their own.
The question now to be decided is
whether or not private houses shall be
closed as we'll. If they are, then the
farmers must either ship their own
wheat or sell it to others, who can only
buy it us fast as cars can be obtained to
receive it.
The power to handle this immense
crop is thus limited to the ability of
the railroad companies to furnish cars
to transport it. The result of such q
state of affairs every farmer can figure
out for himself.
A great deal has been said about sup
porting the commissioners. It should
be clearly understood what a support of
the railroad commissioners means. It is
nolonger aquestion Of sentiment. but one
ofbusiness Thegreatest crop ever known
in this country will soon be ready for
market. The question is, shall every
facility for its shipments and for the
handling of this grain be given, or shall
there be drag and hindrance put upon
the business to the most serious loss of
