North Dakota Crops.

Grand Forks N. D.. May 1.-An au-
thority on crops in North Dakota has
made the following observations: With
something more than IN average rainfall
this spring, and the ground in good con-
dition for seeding throughout the whole
state, North Dakota's prospects for real
izng profitable crop season is just now
regarded as the brightest in several
years. The farmers are all busy and
seeding is progressing fairly although
r;.tler slowly, a little later than tn
average Although the seeding in the
lower Red rirar valley this season is
!: ter than the average for the past suS-
teen years. and in Rurleigh county for
the pest ten years-with continued pleas
ant weather as now fer ten days or two
weeks, the farmers will have nearly COM
pleted their spring work. The prospects
are brighe for North Dakota farmers,
and the present outlook is excellent for
a large crop of wheat this season. II IS
estirreted that the what acreage will be
from 2.75OGOO to 3.O00VdD acres. lt
was about the first OF May before the
seeders were fully under way last year,
so that unless something quite unforeseen
arises to cause further delay the seeding
Should be in this year somewhat eat der

TEST o.. PINE LAND CASES.

Involves Much Land Forfeited.
st. Paul, May Another test Of Pine
equity tax cases is to be made in the
supreme court This morning County At
tCrtey Robert Saunders appeared before
Pine County VS. f.. +. Lambert. which
had been certified up from the district
court of that county. 1t involves the old
cases regarding lands that were for
feited to the county for taxes. For years
thousands of acres Of lard in Pine coGn-
ty had been owned by individuals who
lad paid no taxes on it. Finally it was
decided to have a general clearing-up
sale, and law was passed provlding
that if the taxes were rot paid the sale.
rather the forfeiture, to the state should
be absolute. Finally test case came up,
and the original owner Of the property in
que stion, although he had never paid the
taxes, recovered the land, it being held
that it was no sale, for the fact that the
Ids had been bid in by the state had
rot been entered on the books. Later
tne supreme court decided that the stat
ute of limitations applied to the state as
well rs to individuals, and the state had
forfeited its right to tie lands by not en-
forcing the judgment and having the
laLds recorded as bid into the state for
! ten years In three cases this was de-
sided, and now comes the fourth. Ii the
| supreme court decides in favor Of the
stute. as would be manifestly just, it
! must reverse itself on three former de-
! cisions The decision will involve about
&C, 900 acres of pine land.

Minneapolis, May lit is not the fault
of Joe White, the alleged Harris murder

trial this morning White became so much

Simons had given his testimony and had
been cross-examined, Mr. Hall asked
him, pointing a 5. cond time to White:

THAT is the man." answered the wit

At that instant Joe White, who had
not been handcuffed, raised up in his
chair, his eyes blazing with deadly,
Eurderous light, grabbed the inkwell
from the table at his elbow and hurled it
with fearful force at the witness. 1t

whizzing up to the ceiling. There was
crunching of glass, and in an instant the
whole room was in an uproar. There at
the witness left was Il clean round hole

diameter, through which the deadly
missile had passed. Had the witness not
