sion.

The board of trade held a regular

A communication was received, en-
closing copy of the Loud bill that
has passed the lower house in congress
and awaits action by the senate This
bill is intended to relieve the mails of
the mass of trash which is now being
carried as second class matter at one
cent pound. Second class matter is
supposed to be newspapers and legiti-
mate magazine publications, but
few New York publishing houses have
been loading the mails with printed
matter and claiming the rates of Sec
ond class matter.
The board, after discussing the mat
ter at some length, passed a motion
favoring the Loud bill, and asking
the Minnesota senators to vote for it.
President Shoemaker for the COM
mittee appointed to urge upon the
county board the redistricting of the
county according to population, re-
ported that the committee had ap-
peared before the board, and that the
board had appointed committee to
prepare plan to be submitted at
full meeting of the board to be held
Feb. 10th, at which township officials
and others will be invited to be
present.
President Shoemaker suggested that
this is good time to talk about the
beet sugar industry, as congress will
put tariff on sugar, and the legisla-
ture may offer bounty for beet sugar.
Many factories will be located in the
Northwest before long, and this
vicinity ought to get one.
J. N. Hall said that there are many
small tracts of land in this neighbor-
hood, that are good for little else, and
Just the thing for raising sugar beets.
W. M. Farr said that small factories
are now being built instead of the
large factories of a few years ago.
Mr.. Hall said that a beet sugar
factory would be good thing for the
farmers.
Mr.. Farr said that whatever helps
the farmers also helps the city.
Mr. Shoemaker said that the beet
sugar factories in Nebraska are pay
ing institutions and thought that it
would pay here, as the sugar beets
raised in this county had tested very
high.

CROOK WILL HAVE A RE.TRlAL
MARCH SrH.
The Jury Remained Out Over Sum
day and Was Discharged This
Morning Jurors Held Out
For Acquittal-Thought Life Sem
teuce Too 1uch-Eight Stood Out
For COnviction-The Second Trial
Will Be Hard Fought.

The jury in the Crook case failed tC
agree, and was discharged when court
met Monday forenoon. Numerous bal
lots were taken, and several votes
were cast for convicting the defen.
dant of murder in the first degree, but
the majority of the jurors favored the
charge of murder in the second de-
gree. There were several who voted
for acduittal. The highest vote for
conviction on one of the charges was
ten to two for acquittal, and the
lowest vote for conviction was six to
six for acquittal. For time, the
vote was nine and three, but was
finally eight and four.
Sunday forenoon the jury asked
for further instructions, and the judge
and attorneys were sent for. The jury
came in and asked to be Informed
what the penalty for murder in the
second degree was. The law was read
and they filed back.
Two nights were spent in the court
room, and meals were served to the
Jurors there. 1t became evident yes
terday that there was no chance for
an agreement.
The jurors who held out for an &C
luittal, we are informed, did so for
the reason that they were opposed to
allie sentence being inflicted. They
might have agreed to manslaughter
in the first degree or murder in the
third degree. 1t should be said to their
credit that they did not take stock in
the self defense story told by Crook.
The result causes general disap-
pOintment, as it was hoped that
verdict would be agreed upon. An
other trial will prove very costly
affair, for it will be difficult to obtain
jury. When the jury retired, there
were few disinterested parties who
listened to all of the evidence who
did not predict that the lowest verdict
that the jury could reasonably bring
would be murder in the second degree.
Court took recess this afternoon
until March Sth, when the second
trial of Crook will commence. County
AttorneyHughes states he will have
still stronger Case to present, as some
new evidence will be introduced. Mr..
Young states that the defense will
also put up a much harder fight than
it did last week
1t is claimed that some of the
jurors were influenced by talk of those
who sympathized with the Crook
family, and to prevent this the next
jury will probably not have so many
liberties during the trial. Stories
about Bornt's character have been
persistently circulated in way that
was calculated to influence the jury
and possibly may have had their
effect.
The indictment against Elmer
Liedloff was dismissed Saturday after
noon for want of prosecution. The
states main witness cannot be found.
The Owen case goes over to the May
term.
Judge Severance goes to Fairmont
Feb. 10th to try the Sherburn bank
rObber.
