WAS ACQUITTED.

N. +. Murphy, Of Grand Forks,
who shot and instantly killed Charles
Link for committing . brutal assault
on his little six year old daughter,
giving her loathsome disease, was
tried last week on the charge of muir
der, and acquitted. The defence al
legged temporary insahity. adducing ex-
pert testimony 70 show that Mr.. MUIR
ply was subject 70 3pells Of mental
alteration due to ! blow on the head
received in youth. The Herald, CON-
menting on the verdict. says it was
just and right, and commends the
iury for its action. But further on
in the same article itexpresses its real
sentiments when it aays that our laws
for the punishment such crimes as
that hideous assault are entirely IN
adequate, and intimates plainly that
Mr.. Murphy was justified in killing
Link. The Fargo Argus indeed, goes
SO far as to say thathis shooting the
brute was good evidsnce of his sanity,
and while we cannot concur in the
latter sentiment, yet Fe do think it a
strange and hideouss commentary on
- -.
our code Of Justice and morality that
a man can be put in jeopardy OF his
life for killing another under such
circumstan Our law makers evi'
IDENTIFY do not recognize the fact that
there are possessions dearer and more
precious than life. What father Of
mother would not follow an infant
daughter-for she wss but an infant
to the grave rather than have her the
victim Of such beastly lust7 And ye'
few years Imprisonment at most ii
all that could be expected had Link
been put on trial for his crime. No
Mr.. Murphy's defence should have
been "Justiiable homicide and W
believe no jury in North Dakot'
would nave round hsm guilt NJ
should then have had a precedsn
which would justify father or broth
er under like conditions in putting I
speedy end to such fiends. The
trial should be to determine the gull
of the dead man-not Of the living
That once fully determined, the who'll
affair would be settled.

One sof the disgusting things in
partisan politics is the way some poll
ticians have Of attributing hard times
/" the opposite party-if that party
happen to be in power. No matter
what the real cause Of the trouble may
be, these men do not fail to make
political capital Of the distress. A
few years since, when North Dakota
had series Of crop failures and the
wolf howled dangerously near many
doors, the cry went up to heaven that
the Republican party and its policy Of
4 protective tariff was responsible.
Now that the shoe il on the other foot
and the Democratic team is pulling
the load, times are harder than ever
yet We do not hear these same men
lay the blame Oh the administration.
Oh, mol But ! lot of run down Re
publicans arc trying the same dodge.
Thank heaven though the real bone

Happy New Year!

That is the wish of the Burlington
Route for the many thousand Northwest
ern people who have travelled over its
lines during 1893 and the many more
thousands who will do so during 1894.
Now word about the development of the
Burlington system. In 1856, the chica-
60. Burlington and Quincy Company. the
parent Burlington road. operated only
1860 miles. In that year it acquired 1886
miles of the Burlington & Missouri River
in Nebraska. Branch lines were at once
built to almost all the important towns in
Nebraska. and in May. 1864, the road
was completed to Denver. Colorado. In
1887, the line was completed TO Cheyenne,
Wyoming. the center of large cattle
trade. To supply coal for the operation
Of the Western lines, narrow guage road
running from Denver to Lyons was pur-
chased, and in 1889 a line was pushed to
New Castle, Wyo.. to take advantage of
large coal fields there. In 1886. the Chi
cago. Burlington & Northern was COM
pleted. giving connection with st. Panl
and Minneapolis. In 1891. the road
reached Deadwood. giving access to the
rich mining regions Of the Black Hills
and the healing Hot Springs Of Dakota.
BY control Of several Missouri railroads
the Burlington added St. Louis. Kansa.
City and St. Joseph as-tetminal points
and is now engaged in building bridge

M, Mrs. ELIZABETH BARTH, aged
SO years and IS days.
Deceased was a native of Germany.
cor ing to this country over 80 years
ago. She had been resident of Bar
ton county for the last II years.
She was the mother of three children,
two of whom died in infancy, the
other being Mr.. j. A. Barth now of
Clafin. Mrs. Barth had been long
sufferer from cancer of the stomach,
and death was a relief to her long
tried powers of endurance. Funeral
services were held in the Catholic
church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Thus has another of the early pio-
neers of Barton county passed to the
great beyond, leaving in the hearts of
many a one a sad regret, and in their
minds memory of many a motherly
deed of kindness and loving care.
Tireless in her efforts for those she
loved she battled faithfully and UNI
ceasingly against life's trials and
Instructions. and suffered as only a
mother can that life might be easier
and the future brighter for those who
remain, than it had been for her.
The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty is extended to the bereaved son
and his family in this sad hour. !
