FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Dec. blink
Thayer, the first of the six men to be
tried on a charge of holding up the
Great Northern flyer No. 10, has been
convicted and sentenced.
His attorney, G. G. Houpt, moved for
a new trial but the motion was denied.
The prisoner then stood up to, receive
sentence. He stated he had nothing to
say. But his attorney asked clemency.
claiming the conviction was on the
strength of public sentiment.
Judge Searle replied that the prisoner
had had fair and impartial trial. The
crime was most aggravated, and he
had searched in vain for any eXtenuat-
ing circumstance. In his opinion the
maximum penalty was too lenient in a
case of this kind. He then gave the
prisoner the full limit, 20 years in state
prison at Saltwater. 50,
The case vii be taken to the supreme
court, but meantime the prisoner will
be taken to Saltwater.
Thayers defense was an alibi, but it
was demolished by state witnesses who
declared they had seen him near the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Mr. Beaupre,
consul general at Guatemala, in his an
nual report to the state department says
that the United States has maintained
her lead in lmportsinto Guatemala dur
ing the past year, and in some import
ant lines the gain has been most graft
flying. With Great Britain and Ger
many she practically controls the
foreign trade of Guatemala. He says
that the bulk of United States goods are
too good for this market. They should
be made to sell cheaply, but should be
snowy with colors and tinsel. Most Of
the granite ware comes from Germany,
being low in price, but it is so light and
cheap that it cannot last long.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Territorial expansion began in the United
States great many years ago. William Fl.
English's great book is entitled. Conquest
of the Northwest Territory mighty good
Democratic authority. Five great States
were formed out of the conquered territory,
viz. Ohio Indiana Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin, amounting to 239 2SS square
miles The great Indian chief Tecumseh
was bitterly opposed TO United States ter
ritorial expansion, and paid for it dearly
with his life at the battle of the Thames.
Now, hadn't our Democratic friends better
hunt up the heirs of Old Tecumseh and
move to restore to them, if they be
found those five great States? Witness the
conquest of a large portion of Mexico, COM
prising the great States of California, Ar-
IONA, New Mexico, Colorado. Utah. Ne
vada. Now. hadn't our Democratic apostles
of territorial construction better move for
a restoration to old Mexico of that great
empire of new States? At the conclu-
sion of our war with Mexico, which was
very successful on our part. though the
Mexlcans put up much better tight than
the SpanlardS did in the late "unpleaSant-
ness we found that Mexico, though
short in money long on land, just
as we ma Spain to be at present long In
land put short in money: therefore; we
prefer TO take our indemnity in land, which.
by the way, is real accommodation TO
fhard-up old Spain. under the crcum-
stances. My recollection is that the Dem
ocrats were in power when the Mexican war
was adjusted. and that they favored the re-
tention or everything we had captured dur
ing the war except old Santa Annals cork
leg. which was returned TO him. because no
American sololer would wear 1t, they being
too patriotic. VIM r. NORRIS

WILL PROTECT A PATENT
f. w. MKENNA, PATENTEE OF AIR
SIGNAL, SUES A RAILWAY.
Freight Men Disturbed over an Order
of the Intersfate-Commer Conn
mfssion--GeneraI Notes.

A few years ago. when superintendent of
the Louisville division of the pennsylvania
lines, K. w. McI<enna devised and patented
an air signal for use on the rear of a train
when backing into a station or over street
crossings, and it proved to be valuable
invention and was adopted all over the
Pennsylvania system at once. 1t has since
come into general use on many roads and
been adopted by some foreign lines, and in
all cases, except the New York. New Haven
q Hartford road, the railroad companies
have willingly purchased the right to use
it. Mr.. McKenna has brought suit against
the company for $4,000. An attorney of the
company was recently in the city to take
the deposition of William Swanston, mas
ter mechanic of the Panhandle lines at this
point, and others. Mr.. Swanston told the
attorney that the first air signal was built
in their shops was first used on the j., nj.
& l. road and that the invention was strict
ly that of E. w. McKenna. 1t is thought
that the railroad company secured such
testimony at Indianapolis that it will pay
the royalty and drop the suit.
