This 10 tire Assertion Made by Chief
Justice Corlias.
Grand Forks, N. D., Special.-"An
innocent man was hung by .lynchers
at Williamsport," was the startling
statement Of Chief Justice Corliss, OF
the state supreme court, referring to
the lynching Of the Indian murderers
of the Spicer family. Justice Corliss
said that he had ample documentary
evidence to prove his assertion, and
continued:
'The supreme court ordered a new
trial for Coudot's case because it mp
peared that he was convicted on the
uncorroborated evidence Of Paul Holy
Track and Philip Ireland, both Of
whom confessed that they took part
In the murder, and their testimony
was refuted in strong alibi in the
testimony of DR.. Ross. resident agent
physician at the Standing Rock
agency, near where the murder was
committed. The murder Of this inno-
cent man is most foul crime and
hideous blot on the fair name of our
state. His murderers should not go
unpublished"
Judge Corliss also stated that it
would have been impossible to secure
q fair trial for the Indians in Emmons

The women of Cuba have now taken
up the fight, and propose to carry II
on by means of the boycott, so far az
they can. A report from Havana saws.
A proclamation issued by the Reyolu-
tionary club of Cuban women is large
ly circulating in Havana city and the
rest of the island, and has caused a
sensation among Cubans and Spaniards
alike. The Cuban women desire the
Spaniards in Cuba to be boycotted by
every sympathizer with the Cuban
cause. 1T is a shame for u.s." the doc.
ument says, Ito buy our commodities
in Spanish stores, thereby enriching
our enemies. These volunteers who
form the cowardly mob which has as
sassinated SO many of our fathers,
brothers and sisters. are the merchants
who provide us with all we need in
our homes, from the bread we eat to
the clothes we wear. A boycott upon
these Spaniards is the best thing we
can do in the cities to help the pa
triots." The Spanish merchants in
Havana are concerned over this docu-
ment which has made great impress
sion among the Cuban families. The
blow will certainly be severe one.

and hanged on the gallows; and then
"the cowboys amused themselves fir
ing at the struggling body, while the

chances, in lottery" Under this law
the printer of London newspaper

cause he published the advertisement
of medicine in such form as to
make. it missing word contest The
prize offered for supplying two omitted
words needed to perfect the sense was
divided among six persons guessing
the missing part of the advertisement.
OF course the trial of the offender ad-

the purpose of showing that the law
against lotteries was to be construed
so as to shut out schemes wearing an
innocent look but really involving an
illegal principle.
