An Important Case.

Bismarck, N. D., Special.-The ap-
peal to the supreme court for new
trial in the case of the state against
Alex Coudot for the murder of the
Spicer family Mt Winona in February
last was argued before the supreme
court Saturday. Coudot, it will be re-
membered, was the first of the five
Indians arrested, to be tried, and was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
r. N. Stevens is Coudot's attorney
and he spoke for two hours in the
prisoners behalf, and the points made
were that there was no testimony in
dependent of Paul Holy Track and
Philip Ireland, to convict Coudot Of
completely in the murder, Stevens
claiming that verdict was not war
ranted by the evidence in the case,
that tho witnesses who testified to
having helped in the commission Of
the crime had reason for wishing to
duplicate Coudot - the same as Swi-
,densky in the Kent case-to escape the
burden Of their own guilt. Coudot has
been sentenced to hang Oct. %, and
the decision Of the court will be looked
for with interest.

Cattle Thieves,

Chamberlain, S. D.. Special-Farm-

have been greatly annoyed during the
past few months by cattle thieves
who have become very bold, not hest
tating to enter pastures and drive off
the choicest of the cattle, which are
sold to butchers in nearby towns.
The high prices paid for beef cattle
seems to have increased the practice.
+. NJ. Rowley of Centerville the other
day purchased a fine beef animal, in
tending 10 butcher it the same evening.
While the family We're at supper the
animal disappeared. A search was i'm

Not Ready for Trial.

Fargo, N. D., Special--The United
States court has adjourned because Of
o lack of cases ready for trial, not
withstanding the fact that more than
fifty indictments had been returned.
In discharging the jury Judge Amidon
severely criticised the present system
as unnecessarily expensive to the gov
eminent and not conducive to higher
respect for the law. 1t has always
been the custom to try cases in the d.
vision in which the indicted party is a
resident, regardless of where the in
dictment is brought. Only four Of the
fifty indictments were in this division,
and it was practically impossible to
try those ut this term. Only three
cases were heard by the jury during
the term and they were personal dam
age cases against railroads. Nearly
all the indictments were against resi-
dents of the Turtle mountain country
for timber trespasses.

call on Rev. Beer, who, On learning Of
his escape from the asylum wired his
friends at Hannah, informing them Of
his whereabouts. Later he took him
back to the train which was about
ready to leave. Hines seemed all the
time afraid of people recognizing him,
and at last suddenly left the train
when some boys appeared and began
asking if Hines was on board. His
disappearance was told to his friends
and Mayor Mercer, G. w. Clark and
Rev. Beer spent several hours trying

vane. For two or three days the new

figures. On following days both cases
and deaths will drop and the impress
sion be given that high water mark
has been reached and that the disease
is on the wane. Then there will be

day was extremely encouraging. Last
night at O'clock the cases had nearly

was that OF distinguished citizen,

every institution of this character in
the city will be infected to some ex-
tent before the disease is stamped out.
Eight or more have already reported
cases. Several cases appear in houses
that were previously infected. There
have been rumors of frost on the out
lying country. Capt. Kirkham, of the
weather bureau, says, however, that
the temperature in Louisiana has
been too high for frost, and that none
may be expected until November. This
was the record of new cases and
deaths: New cases, so; deaths, 5.
