The Kittson County grand iury at Hal


The Kittson County grand jury at Hal
lock returned an indictment of man.
slaughter in the first degree against John
Smith, of st. Vincent, in front of whose
saloon, George Bates met his death last
week as chronicled in this paper. Our
own coroner's Jury brought in a verdict
of that Bates came to his death from the
blow on the head, feloniously, at the
hands of some person unknown to the
jury. Smith has been released on $50 O
bail. The court for Kittson county will
reconvene on March Goth and it is expect
ed that this case will be tried at that
time. No new developments of special
interest have been discovered in addi-
ton to our last weeks account. Smith
has badly injured hand and blood
poisoning and erysipelas are giving him
a great deal of pain and trouble. At
torney Stevenson Of Crookston, who is
somewhat noted as criminal LAWYER,
has been engaged to defend Smith.

The Epworth League Rally.


The sessions of the Epwort, League
Rally held at the M. E. church on Tues
day, " lnesday and Thursday Of this
week l.:ve been we'll attended and of a
very interesting nature. The program
as previously printed was carried out and
many OF the papers read were full of
interest and thought and several brought
out splendid discussions.
Besides this more solid work of the
rally, the program was interspersed with
many musical numbers, solos, duets,
quartettes and instrumental. On Tues
day evening Rev. Mr.. Collinge of Dray-
ton gave an excellent address OH muscle
as applied to the Z pworth "Hercules, %
which was full of original thought we'll
expressed. The church was we'll filled
and the program included some excellent
musical numbers and words of greeting
from Harry Carr on the part of Pembina
and responses from MIR. Richardson of
Drayton and Rev. Mr.. Crux of Emerson.
Wednesday evening the services were
in charge of Mr.. Charles Full, who in a
few fitting words introduced the orator of
occasion, DR.. Forbes of Duluth. DR..
Forbes during the last few months has
become quite well known in this city and
locality, and we can only say that on
Wednesday evening his lecture on "Look
up, Lift up'' was an eloquent, witty, orig
inal and refreshing as his other efforts.
DR.. Forbes is one of the kind of lecturers
that no one ever tires of listening to, and
the church was filled to its utmost capa-
city. The session closed on Thursday
afternoon by sermon from DR.. Forbes.
Among the visitors from other towns
our reporter caught the following names.
Rev. and Mrs. Collinge, Mr.. and Mrs. G
B. Wylie, Misses Lulu Wylie, Nellie
Wilkins, Myrtle Johnson, Messrs Charles

Der was increased to over 80
Hardly had the whole property been
paid for when the need for more ade-
quate church accommodations was
felt, and in 1891 the old church was
pulled down and the present structure
started. While the new church was in
process Of erection, the church wor-
shipped in the rooms over Burlington S
drug store. The cornerstone of the
new edifice was laid in June, 1891, and
the church was dedicated on the second
Sunday in October of the same year.
The church cost several thousand dol
lars, and this has all been paid with
the exception Of $1,000, which is the on
ly liability of the church. The prop
erty now owned by the church has in
creased considerably in value since its
purchase, and is a very desirable piece
of real estate.
The church edifice is a modest though
substantial and tasteful one, of mod
crate size, the seating capacity having
been rated by the plans at $50, but it
is In reality slightly less than that.
The edifice is very conveniently ar
ranged inside and the interior fittings
and decorations are model ones of their
class. In exterior appearance the
