day to sit in the second trial of the
case of the state against c. E. Dickin
son.
At the beginning A. II. Noyes pre-
scented affidavits to show that his part
ner, Mr.. Harrilnl>, was i'll, and that
he was not able to try the case him
self. The county attorney stated that
he could not think of a continuance.
When the case first came on he had
begged that the Haugan case be allow
ed to take precedence, but the defense
had refused to allow it, therefore he
would stand on his rights now.
Judge Elliott stated that he would
be very glad to let the case go over
on personal grounds, but, as there was
no statutory cause, he would be oblig-
ed to bring the case to trial. Mr.
Noyes made all the objections made
in the former case, as matter of rec
ord, and the empaneling of the jury be-
gan. But thirty jurors were examined
during the day.

WITH A SHARP RAZOR.
Elias Buckner Cuts James Dawson
Seriously.

A serious cutting ARRAY occurred in North
Minneapolis about II o'clock Monday night.
In which James Dawson received injuries
which are likely to result dangerously. Daw-
son is married man, an electrician by trade
and resides on Lyndae avenue north be-
tween Twenty-first and Twenty-seventh ave
nues. His aSsailant is Elias Buckner colored
a barber, who resides at 401 Fourth street
north. The assault seems to have been uppro-
voked, but, as is frequently the case a
woman seems to have been at the bottom
of the trouble
Dawson and a friend had been drinking
in Paulson & Nelson's saloon at 200 Twentieth
avenue north. Stepping out into the ward
behind the saloon he met Buckner and a
woman who seemed to be sick. Buckner
asked Dawson why he didn't help the woman
and the latter proceeded to do So whereupon
Buckner is said to have hurled a vile epithet
at him. This angered Dawson who tried to
strike the negro, who defended himself with
cane. According to the story he there
upon whipped out razor and with vicious
lunge inflicted fearful wound in Dawson s
vitals. He knocked the negro down with a.
hard blow on the chin. The latter was aided
by friends, and, with the assistance of Officer
Kaehn n3 was carried to ShumDik's drug
store at Twentieth avenue north and Wash
ington. Afterwards he was taken to St
Barnabas hospital.
Buckner was captured by Officer Kaehn
who also took into custody George Harmon
an eyewitness Buckner's story is to the
effect that Dawson called him vile name and
that he cut him with penknife. However
Officer kaehn found a sharp razor covered
with blood, in his possession.

Heavy, in some parts of the state every
day till Saturday. These conditions
have caused all vegetation to make a.
rapid growth, so that now there are
few traces of the heavy frosts of the
latter part of May. All small grains
are looking well, though rye in some
places has headed thin and short. With
continued wet and warm weather there
is fear that on rich soil the growth Of
wheat and oats will be so rank as to
be in danger Of lodging. Winter wheat
and barley are beginning to head Corn

owing to the frost and poor seed but
it is growing rapidly now. Potatoes
are also growing fast after their set

most corn fields it is too wet to destroy
them by cultivation. Grass continues
to be irregular and, though improv-
ing rapidly, much is thin and poor.
Glover is an irregular stand; it is now

DEPEW'S IMPRESSION.
DR.. Chauncey Tells How 1t All Ap-
pealed to Him.

LONDON, June 22.-Dr. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew has written for the Associated Press his
impressions of the jubilee. They are as fol-
lows:
The diamond jubilee procession has passed
and mas left lasting impression. Its pre-
paratlon required sixty years and it was
over in sixty minutes. Pride power and
alteration were its characteristics Pride in
the imperial position of Great Britain in the
the world and exhibition Of power which in
spires this national adulaton and fervid Loyal
ty in action, expression and thought for the
queen. The concentrated and irrepressibe
JOY and pride which preceded, accompanied
and followed the queen like a resistless tor
rent surpassed anything ever witnessed be-
lore. Though many races and many partici-
pated the dominant and observing expression
was English and the glory was Engands
Peers and commoners, masters and workmen
millionaiTes and the multitude were welded
by tremendous force. This concentration
OF loyalty from the remotest corners of the
earth into wild frantic mass of patriotic
enthusiasm, had effect upon observers
which can be likened to nothing so much as
the North and South electrified by the first
gun fired at Fort Sumter-by the Seventh
regiment marching down Broadway to the de-
Tense of the capital.
Among the American spectators there was
no jealousy nor stint of praise and applause.
We could both glory in the vitality and viril-
ity of the mother country and rejoice nightly.
We were not marching in the procession but
we were present as the proud equal in all
that constitutes a free people and a great
nation Making due allowance for the ex-
great place in the history of the nineteenth
century. Her influence for peace has been
of momentous consequence to Great Britain
Europe and civilization.
