Suicide and Probable Murder Re-
ported From Emmons County.
STEELE, N. D., April 24-News has
reached here Of another tragedy In En-
mons county, as a result Of which two
Well-known settlers are dead, one by sui
eide, and the other by murder or man
slaughter.
The real situation leading to this trag-
edy can only be surmised. The broth
crs, James and Joseph Colwell have for
several years lived alone on their places
some fteen miles east of the Missouri in
Eminons county, about opposited Fort
Yates. A day or two ago James came to
the river and sought quarters at the home
of friend. The recent flood had caused
removal of the family, and he went to
another place farther back on the high
land, and there took shelter, complaining
of being sick. He grew worse rapidly,
and finally, after stating that he had
drunk carbolic acid before leaving home,
died with great suffering.
A messenger was at once dispatched to
notify his brother, but when the place
was reached what was the horror and
amaZement to find Joseph dead in the
house. with his bowels protruding, and
all the signs of having been shot to
death by a shotgun aimed at his alb
domen.

ATTORNEY GRANT
TRIAL NOW NEARING A CLOSE
What the Prosecution and Defense
Will Ask the Judge to Incorpor-
ate In His Instructions to the
Jury-State Seeks to Remove
Justification by Grievances of the
Defendant Against Mr.. SaxtOn.

CANTON, O., April A.-Attorney j. j.
Grant occupied the whole day in opening
the arguments on behalf of the state in
the trial of Mrs. George. The court room
was filled as it has not been at any other
stage of the proceedings.
Mrs. George seemed more affected by
Mr.. Grants summing up of the case than
by any other incident of the trial.
During the day attorneys for each side
presented their requests as to the charge
of the judge. The state asks that the
jury be instructed that the alleged prom
Use to marry and the failure to keep it,
the promises of any money consideration,
the alleged settlement in Allegheny, the
divorce and the payment for it, the rela-
tons between the accused and the de-
ceased, and that all of the testimony as
to Mrs Georges grievances against Sax
ton, shall be cited to the jury by the
Judge as not being any justification, ex-
cuse or defense for the homicide, but
merely subjects for consideration in de-
termining the degree of the homicide and
the mental responsibility of the accused.
The state also asks that the general
weakness of the alibi defense shall be
rec1ted to the jury IN connection Will
instructions that an alibi, to be a defense,
must cover the whole period of the homi-
eide, or must prove beyond all doubt the
impossihility of the accused being at the
scene of the homicide when it occurred.
The defense asks the court to charge
the jury that the homicide must be
proven, and the accused guilty of it, be-
fore any Of the threats are considered
against the accused, and that the threats
are only to be considered in determining
the degree ,of the homicide had it been
otherwise established. They also ask
that the court charge that the accused Is
not to be prejudiced by reason of the
defendant not having taken the stand in
her own behalf, and that the evidence of
one addicted to the opium or morphine
habit Is not credible.

This will be a very important day for
the Minneapolis chamber of commerce.
A vote of the membership is to be taken
to decide whether or not on annex shall
be built to the present building. If the
vote carries against the annex another
vote will be taken tomorrow for and
against the acceptance of the Lowry
proposition to move up town into a brand
new building. The vote today will con-
Germ the annex only.
The two factions have been waging a.
lively war Circulars have been issued
by each party. Several new ones were
out yesterday. The latest covers all the
points raised by the earlier ones, and
after going deep into details sums up all
in the following paragraph:
"A vote to the annex means the loss
OF dividend of 5000 at least and an
assessment in its place OF $3.50 or a total
OF $4oO TO every member. How can any
person not having other interests to
serve advocate the construction of the
annex"
a great number of the members seem
to feel that, other things being equal, they
would rather move up town into a new
building.
The result of todays vote will be
eagerly awaited, for 1t means much for
the future of the principal trade organi-
cation In the Northwest. The polls will
be open from a. m to p. m.

LOSING THEIR FLOUR TRADE.
The Minneapolis Grocers VIII Take
Steps to Protect Themselves.

The retail grocers of Minneapolis are
losing their flour trade. This fact was
demonstrated at the grocers' association
meeting last night, the reason for 1t be-
ing explained by the statement that
country flour sells upon the. Minneapolis
market at a figure considerably below
that asked for the Minneapolis brands.
This country flour is not handled by the
grocers, owing to an agreement entered
into. between them and the local millers.
and they are consequently placed in a
position where they can net successfully
compete with flour and feed" stores, or
other establishments which sell the pre-
scritred brands.
The matter was discussed at some
length, the upshot of it all being the ap-
pointment of a committee which will meet
with like committee from the Mime

WINNIPEG, Man, April 24-(Special)
AT joint meeting of the board of
trade and grain produce exchange this
afternoon resolution was unanimously
adopted calling upon the government to
amend the coasting laws so that United
States vessels may be allowed to carry
grain from one Canadian port to another.
This question came up in connection with
a movement to divert northwestern grain
carrying trade to an all-Canadian route
to the seaboard, and it was pointed out
that there were not enough Canadian
bottoms to handle the traffic, and without
assistance of the United States the vessel
project could not be carried out success
fully. The government was also called
on to provide proper terminal and ele-
vator facilities at Montreal harbor. At
present the bulk of the wheat from this
country finds its way to the seaboard
via Buffalo.
