AS to the time. the witness thought
it was between 10 and II o'clock. He had
seen the boys statement in the papers

Los ANGELES. July 20.-At the trial of
Henry Patterson. charged with having
shot into the engine CAP of the Santa Bar
bara train with intent to kill Engineer
Jesse Martin, tremendous crowd was
present to hear the testimony. Nearly all
the morning was consumed in argument
on a demurrer to the informations and

the shooting and the stopping of the train.
He said that he saw the flash but did not
see the man who fired the gun. There
were buckshot in the cab which were
placed in evidence. The case will proba-

Stock Fair.

There is big talk of a stock fair to be held
In Bottineau, say twice each year-spring
and fall. James Graham and Joseph Shaw
introduced the subject to us, ard after talk
ing the matter over with a number, all of
whom are enthusiastically in its favor, we
believe it will be a go. The idea is to have
a day set some time before hand, on which
stock will be brought to a common center,
say Bottineau-for sale or trade. Anything
and everything in the line of stock will be
on hand, and those who wish to buy will
know when and where to ONE. There is
no reason why at such times, there should
not be eastern buyers here, who can buy one
or more cars of tat cattle. Come in, farmers
through the week, and tell us what you
