held by the court that Justice Tisdale had
made an error fatal to the case and the
information was quashed.
Ajury was then called to try the case
of Boyer and Goulet for wheat stealing
from farm occupied by one Dame and
belonging to ]. E. Lee, on the 18th OF
December. The tracks of the sleighs
were traced to Leyden and similar wheat
found to be sold at one of the elevators
by Boyer and Goulet. The quantity was
about 100 bushels. The defendants
claimed the wheat they sold they got
from Boyer's parents, at their house,
and were corroborated in their testimony
by Mr.. Boyer the father and his wife.
The case was ably handled on both sides,
States Attorney Burke for the prosecu-
ton and Attorney Kneeshaw for the de-
tense. The jury brought in verdict of
not guilty.
Wednesday evening the case of Anger
VS.. Trenholme was called and a jury
drawn. This case arises from transac-
ton in wheat. Anger wanted to hold
his wheat for higher prices. He borrow
money from Trenholme leaving the
wheat tickets as collateral. Wheat rose
to about 80 cents and Trenholme sold.
Afterward wheat went up to about SIPS
and Anger sues for the difference, claim
ing that Trenholme sold without his
authority. Trenholme claims Anger
gave the necessary permission to sell.
w. ]. Kneeshaw was attorney for Anger
and Judge Corliss of the firm of Cochran
G. Corliss defended Trenholme. Amount
sued for is $1,000.

Up ON Judge Quackenbush's farm near
Neche there is we'll some eighty feet
deep. The water comes up in pipe
about two inches in diameter At the
top is larger, wider we'll about eight
feet. Usually the flow from the pipe
keeps the large we'll full to within two
feet of the top, and gives an ample sup
ply. Lately the pipe clogged from the
bottom, and though much effort was
made with rods it could not be cleared
and there seemed nothing to do but to
dig new well, which would cost from
eighty to one hundred dollars, and the
we'll digger had been engaged. The
renter of the farm however happened to
remember that he had heard of people
using quicksilver to break way through
a dam and destroy it. So he went to
Neche, got twenty-five cents worth of
quicksilver. dropped it in the pipe and
next morning the we'll was flowing as
usual and has given an ample supply
ever since. AS there are many such pipe
wells in this county this experience may
be Of value to others.

positive intimatlon of what Carlisles de-
tense is TO be. He pleads insanity, The
defendant Is a cousin OF Former United
States Senator and Secretary of the Treas
ury John G. Carlisle, and was born and
raised in Randolph county. Missouri.
The Dallas criminal district court rooms
and corridors were packed to their capac-
ity when the case was called today. and
