POISONING CASE.
Mother Being Tried at Ashley fol-
Poisoning Her o-Year-Old Step
Daughter.

"A special from Ashley says of the
term of court that has been in progress
thehe: Last week was a hot one in
legal circles in Mcintosh county.
Judge Winchester was called Monday
to try the case of Wishek VS.. Chas.
Becker, county judge. The case was
an attempt to remove the latter from
office. Judge Winchester came and
returned overland and will announce
his decision later.
l.. T. Boucher of Eureka, s. d.. was
attorney for Becker, and on the cross
examination Of Wishek there was I'm
acrimonious crOss-tire with an intima-
ton Of forgery by Wishek. This nat
urally made the latter very indignant,
and lie later moved Judge Lauder that
Boucher be refused further license to
practice before the court, he being 4
nonresident. In addition, Wishek
charged that Boucher was not Il
gentleman, but was a shyster, and the
temperature in the court room was
torrid for awhile. Judge Lauder held
that the objection came too late, that
Mr.. Boucher's clients would suffer by
such action, and he would be per-
mitted to try all the cases which he
now had on the calendar. Boucher
is county Judge of Mcpherson county.
Judge Lauder took up the murder
case Of Caroline Buchler, who is
charged with murder in the first de.
gree, having been accused of poisoning
her 9-year-old stepdaughter. States
Attorney Clyde and G.. T.. Wolfe of
Wahpeton appear for the prosecution
and Attorneys Knight of Wishek, and
Brown of Aberdeen appear for the de
Tense. On account Of all the wit.
nesses being Russians, Lieutenant
Sunderland of Wahpeton was tele.
graphed for to act as interpreter, and
will probably be kept here all this
week to assist in the disposal of q
number Of Russian cases.

MUDGETT HOME.
Captain Mudgett Of Company G Recu-
perating at Valley City.

Captain G., F. Mudgett Of Company
G, N. D. volunteers, is back in Valley
City on a thirty day lease Of absence.
He has been i'll at Manila since Jan.
10, but gained % pounds ON the trip
across the water. Speaking Of affairs
at Manila, the following is given by the
Times-Record:
Major White is one of the most eff
Gent officers in the service and stands
well with everyone. The men are get
ting along nicely, and while they would
like to come home, they want to stay
until the fighting is over. So far as
coming home Is concerned Captain
Mudgett does not expect that the
North Dakota regiment will be re-
turned much before the latter part Of
August. He does not think the gov
eminent will use the smaller trans
ports, as was the case in sending them
to Manila. but will wait until large
and comfortable vessels can he Sc
cured. This will take time. The
men are we'll fed and are plentifully
supplied with an abundance of vege-
tables and the finest Australian beef
and mutton. There is no sembalmed
beef" In Manila.
Personally Capt. Mudgett is not par
ticularly impressed with the Philip
pines as a desirable place for Ameri-
cans to live or make Investments. The
weather is oppressive and unhealthful.
Chinese labor is necessary and so cheap
as to drive out all competition. The
country around Manila is a succession
of rice fields and bamboo jungles.
There is O wealth Of timber and there
is money to be made handling hemp,
tobacco and sugar.
Captain Mudgett brought home with
him al abundance of relics picked up
during the eight months he was in
Manila. Perhaps the most valuable
of the lot is III embroidered silk bed
spread presented him by the Chinese
consul. An ink stand formerly used
by the Spanish captain general is high
ly priced. It was left in the captains
office by the former occupant and he
brought it home with him. He has q
little linen doiley about six inches
square, such as are sold in stores for
about 30 cents a dozen, but it would
take a great deal more money than
that to buy it. It came from Ad-
miral Dewey's dinner table. He las
Spanish and Japanese swords, knives
and bayonets; a Filipino flag; native
hats made of horn; native capes made
of cocOanut fibre; n cane made from
the mast of the Reina Christina and
other relics too numerous to mention.

BAKERS LANDS.
Bismarck Stockman Buys and Leases
Large Tracts of Lands on the
Cannon Ball.

A Dickinson telegram to the Fargo
Forum tells Of large purchases and
leases Of land made by Captain L. ?.
Baker Of this city along the Cannon
ball. The captain has purchased all
Of the railroad land in certain sections,
and leased state school lands in the
same vicinity, giving him control Of n
block Of land several miles square
and comprising many thousand acres.
The land will be a valuable possession
for the stock business, as it insures
grazing and ranching privileges ex-
clusively " the land bought and
leased. The Dickinson article in the
Forum does some kicking for small
who are located on the land
and have made improvement and who
will be shut out.

little group had been spinning yarns

OF more when bronze visaged. middle
aged man joined the party. Several OF
the group recognized him as the captain
of one of the big tramp steamers which
ply between Philadelphia and foreign
ports, and a place in the circle was at
once made for him.
We've been killing time telling sto-
ries,' some one explained. Suppose you

The captain thought a moment and then
smiled. --..
Il was thinking of something that hap
pened on my last voyage" he finally said.
We had on board as a cook big colored
fellow, whose principal companion was a
little yellow cur dog. One day while the
cook was preparing some beef for dinner
he let the heavy cleaver with which he was
doing the chopping slip from his grasp.
1T fell to the floor with a thud, and
the cook emitted a howl of anguish that
was heard all over the ship. The cleaver
had struck one of his bare feet and sliced
the big toe off as neatly as surgeon
could have done it. Here was chance
for the yellow dog and he seized it. Max
ing dive for the severed toe, he swal-
lowed it in one gulp, and then made a
bee line for the deck.
This was more than the cook craZed
with pain, could stand, and he hurled the
cleaver at the dog. His aim proved true
and his curship passed out of existence
then and there. At this juncture the ships
doctor came up to find out what all the
row was about. When he learned the
truth he laughed.

GOSSIP OF THE GRIDIRoN.
Football Teams Getting in Shape for
Fall Games.

The Georgetown Varsity team will line
up for the first time this season against the
regular scrub team of the college this aft
ernoon Several of the old players have re-
turned to the team and their experience of
last year will help a great deal to steady
the youngsters.
Manager l.. A. Nicholson, of the Young
Mems Christian Association football team,
has ordered the suits for the entire eleven
and Monday expects TO have his team in
condition for hard practice. Their schedule
has not been arranged as yet, although ne
gotiations are being made for games with
all of the local teams.
AT the Columbian University the students
are debating as to the advisability of put
ting team on the gridiron as a number of
the men have agreed TO play on the Young
Mems Christian Association team. Last
week a meeting was held to discuss foot
ball and it was decided to have represen-
tative eleven, but the loss of number of
players has discouraged the prime movers
of the football contingency and there is
considerable doubt about Columbian being
represented on the local gridiron.
