NOT GUILTY.
A jury Of Twelve Finds Eich Innocent Of the
Charge Of Hurder,

Shortly after midnight or Saturday
the jury in the Eich case sent for Judge
and Informed him that they had reached
q verdict. .
The judge repaired at once to the
courthouse and in the presence of the
clerk, the bailiffs, the prisoner and the
prosecuting attorney received the judg-
me Mt Of "not guilty"
Eich therefore becomes free man
and can never again be made to stand
trial for the murder Of Wallace N. Greene.
The trial was net an interesting one.
On the contrary, it was almost tedious.
Sixty talesmen were examined before
e jury could be impaneled, and when it
came to the evidence there was nothing
at all that savored of sensational ma
ture. All the witnesses testified along the
lines Of those who had appeared at the
preliminary hearing in Janua:y, and
from the outset it was quite apparent
that Eich would go free.
Eich himself took the stand and in a
clear and concise recital told his story
of the shooting. It intended to convey
the theory of self-defense.
Attorneys Hagberg, Davis and Coun-
tryman, the latter from St. Paul, repre-
sented the state throughout the four
days trial, and Somerville and Olsen
the prisoner.
Countryman summed up for the pros
ecution; Somerville made the plea for
the defense. Both wele clever argu-
ments, but that of Somerville was
strengthened by touching references to
the mother of the accused.
Judge Webber's charge was an impair
tial one. f..
This poiut alone in his presentation
of the law seemed to point in the direc-
ton of verdict of guilty-murder was
not justifable unless the slayer was un-
der the firm belief that he was in lmmi-
nent danger and then only when there
was no other means1of ayerting it or of
escape therefrom. ~. -
The jury was given the choice of three
verdicts-acquittal, murd er in the Sec
ond degree or manslaughter in the first.
Eleven hours were consumed in delib-
Grafton before verdict was reached.

LAS to the letter OF notifications, ike
the platform, it will certainly not be the
work of any one man. Every word
should be carefully weighed. This is
not going to be 'hurrah' campaign such
as we lately saw in the republican nomi-
nation. Cold facts will be presented,
outside issues will be ignored, and they
can't be met by frework illusions to

''Why, of course not. The gearing

are simply new hands at the bellows,

the only living man that can do that
work, and he will do it in good style if
he has half chance. .......- -
s'Mr. Eustis means we'll enough and
personally is highly respected citizen,
and has hosts of strong personal friends.
But Mr.. Eustis the private citizen and
Mr.. Eustls the candidate for governor
are two quite different persons. He now
comes to stand upon his official record
and by that alone must he be judged.
Many of his best friends CONSCIENTIOUS
ly believe that he is no more able
to stand up against the tremendous cor
porate interests which have so long dom
mated the state of Minnesota than a
reed could Withstand the storm. How
was it,they ask, in the transfer ordinancee
That was the grandest fight the people
of Minneapolis ever fought and won,
Yet as mayor he vetoed the ordinance
and nearly fell over himself to defeat it.
How about the hospital matter? No
one ever claimed that Mr.. Eustls person
ally did any thing wrong except by omis-
sion. Was it not his duty to have been
present at the meeting which voted a
further $4,000, or to Lave stopped the
payment afterwards? Now if such COM
paratively small matters miss fire, at
the crucial time, how might it be with
the mighty interests of great state and
its 100000 of people? Much stress IS
laid upon his saloon policy but it was
neither fish, flesh nor fowl, and it is hard
to find an apologist for it on either side
of the question. Irepeat such matters
of official action must stand the test of
enlightened public opinion, NO matter
how much we may admire the man."

Makes No
Difference.
John Lind Not Influenced by the Late Repub.
lican Nomination.
He Will Soon Be Officially Notified of His Own
Selection.

The Minneapolis Times of Saturday
contained this announcement relative to
Mr.. Lind:
Democrats, populists and silver repub-
licans need have little fear but that John
Lind will accept the nomination for gov
ernor. The Times wired him at Camp
Thomas to learn if the nomination of
Eustis, which was hardly expected when
he left Minnesota, would make any diff
ference in his plans. The reply came in
a few hours, as follows:
"Chlckamauga Park, July Ito the
Editor of The Times: Any action taken
or nominations made by the republican
convention will not influence my actions.
John Lind.
A. T. Ankeny, who was appointed
chairman of the committee OF seven to
notify Mr.. Lind of his nomination for
governor, was asked by The Times when
and how the notification would be made.
He replied:
II presume by letter. I have appoint
ed a meeting of the committee at my Of
fee for Wednesday, but as the members
live IN different parts Of the state it is
most likely they will simply indicate
their ideas of the proper kind of notifca-
tion and otE,'" suggestions. AS Z. D.
O'Brien of St. Paul and myself are near
we will together probably fo emulate the
document, and then forward it to the
members for approval and signature
This may take week or two more"
Asked if there had not been unusual
delay in the matter, he said:
No, the matter Is moving along as
fast as is proper. Senator McHale had
the appointment of this committee; also
of members at large on the state central
com mittee, and he was quite anxious to
make satisfactory selections for both.
This required conference and some cor
respondence, and he has acted expedi-
tiously. Besides there is no occasion for
a rush. There are still four months to
election, and the next thirty days ought
to see everything in good shape.

'THF FOURTH.
Unusual Quiet Marks the Celebration In New
f. Ulm In Spite of cervera's Destruction.

Not withstanding the inducements Of
fered by Sampson and shafter for un.
corking the spirit of enthusiasm, the New
Ulm celebration of independence Day
was tame affair. There was not even
the usual amount of noise, let alone the
more brilliant spectacle Of a apyrotechnic
display and big parade.
The morning procession was short and
lacking in attractive features.
At the head rode Marshal Eckstsin,
with Ralph Yates and Fred Kretsch a.
aides. Then came the Great Western
Band, school children, boys with flags
bearing the names of the various states,
Hecksr Post, Burg's Battery, mayor, city
council, school board and Rev. Schroe-
der in carriage.
The second division was marshaled
by Henry Seifert and John Woratschka.
It consisted of the st. Joseph's Society,
the Arbeiter Versin, the New Ulm Fire
Department and citizens in carriages.
The afternoon was devoted to picnics
at Turner Hall Park, College Heights
and the Catholic Park, and to races and
q ball game at the track.
The races were attended by asdistress-
ingly small crowd, nearly all Of those
present being strangers.
The pony race was won BY Geo. Koch's
horse and the mule gallop by the Schnob-
rich animal. a pony race arranged On
the grounds between the ponies Of
Kretech and Schnobsrich was won BY
the former.
In the evening there were dances at
some Of the halls and reproduction Of
.Toni und seine Walburg'' at Turner
Hall. The latter was well attended, and
in no small degree deserving Special
praise is due at least to Frank Sietzel,
Fred spoerhase, Meta Setter, Ella spoer-
base and Robert Brandt.

some sort il the evening was = disap-

gress at the time the law was passed It
was evident that congress desired to i'm
pose the burdens of the war as far as
possible on those institutions which,
while enjoying the benefits of govern
ment to greater extent than private
individuals, had not yet been compelled
to assume a share in the, cost of its main

afforded them, but the good intentions
of congress were not destined to bear
fruit. The corporations soon found a
way of avoiding the tax, and with their
customary patriotism they are proceed
