Theory of the Defense.


Il believe that God was in this case,
and that when the county attorney, by
mistake, put that fellow Dumaine on
the stand yesterday the hand of God
reached down to show you by his testi-
mony how you might make a mistake
that would follow you all your lives IL
YOU convicted this defendant. Like q
flash of lightning, that testimony
showed who could have committed this
murder. Did the sheriffs office try to
find the wagon which Travelled over
that road about the time the murder
was committed? No. That's why I
say that God let his hand down into
this court room to show you the dan
ger there is in following of false theo-
ries. The two men in that wagon prob

this murder, and then, as the witness

in runaway accident on his father s

The father was engaged in cutting
the corn with corn binder. To
this machine four horses were at
tached and Eugene was riding one
of the forward horses. The team
became heightened and getting be-
yond the fathers control, ran away.
Eugene was thrown from the for
ward horse, and when the horses
were stopped, was found in the
corn binder dead. His left arm was
cut off and the flesh and bones torn
from his left side so that the heart
was exposed. Death was almost
instan taneous.
Shortly after the accident DR..
Hawes of this city was summoned in
his official capacity of coroner, and
arriving there late in the afternoon,
made an examination of the stated
facts, and decided that an inquest
was unnecessary.

board of county commissioners.
He also made motion to quash the
writ of mandamus on the grounds of
premature circulation and for the
reason that the commissioners had
investigated the facts. Attorney
McClelland and Ex-Attorney Gen.
Childs, for Bird Island, answered
at some length, citing numerous
decisions to sustain their position,
among them being the Sibley and
the Scott county cases. After
another round by both sides Judge
Qvale denied the motion to quash
the writ and exceptions were taken.
1t was further decided that the
points at issue form a proper case
for a jury and the case therefore
goes over to the November term of
the district court.
An injunction was Immediately
issued restraining the board of
county commissioners from taking
any action on the Olivia petition

RAILROAD WORK.
Progressing on the 6. & N. and
Northwestern Lines.

Northwestern Lines.
Susceptible persons, and those
who do not want to believe that the
Gulf & Manitoba railroad is going
to be built, should take a drive into
the Beaver creek valley and they
will come away convinced that the
work there looks as much like rail-
road building as it does anywhere
in the country.
Contractor King has completed
the grading from a point about 20
rods south of Isaac Roots house in
the valley, north to the point where
it will require 70 feet cut in order
to get into Beaver Falls village.
The distance is little over a mile.
On Saturday he was working from
the north end of the cut just west
of the Morse farm to the river, re-
quiring a cut and a grade several
feet deep and high, and a great deal
of timber chopping.
A crew of wood choppers arrived
here Monday and at once went to
work cutting down the timber from
the Morse house north through to
where the road is now graded on the
Root farm. The line between these
two points is between heavy woods,
and the choppers will be required
to cut down all of the timber on the
right-of way, after which the stumps
will be fired and the grading COM
menced. This tract will require
some deep cutting and heavy filling,
and will furnish plenty of dirt for
the fill running to the Minnesota
river southof the cut on the Morse
farm.
The big piece of grading is being
reserved for winter time. It is the
big hill just southwest of Beaver
village. At places the contractor
will have to dig down into the earth
a distance of over 20 feet, while at
no place is the depth less than so
feet, and the general average is
nearer 60 feet. Most of this, how
ever, is through sand, and will be
easy handling, and will make an ex-
cellent road bed for fills north and
south of the big cut. The steam
shovel will be used on most of this
work.
j. j. Bell, secretary of the Gulf
& Manitoba company, who has been
deeply interested, financially as
well as otherwise, in the build
ing of north and south railroad,
arrived here last Friday. and has
since been with the officers at Beav-
er Falls. The engineer was expected
to arrive with Mr.. Bell, but owing
to illness will not be here until
some time next week, when he will

posed route to Beaver Falls, which

D. Bosworth and H. G.. Pengrin,
two assistants, all of Winona, ar
rived here last Thursday evening,
and early Friday morning did a
small amount of surveying along
the Northwestern tracks east of
town. Mr.. Coleman stated to a
GAZETTE reporter that he had been
sent here to get the company's S
right-of-way properly located on
the maps, and that his mission had
nothing to do with the surveying of
an extension of his company's line
from this place to Vesta, as so many
people had reported on that day.
Mr.. Coleman and assistants lett on
the afternoon Northwestern train
for Winona.
It is business all along the line of
the Northwestern extension from
Sanborn to Vesta. Men and teams
are going to the front daily, and
dirt is flying as rapidly as the
crews can throw it. Some heavy
grading is to be done, but the con-
tractors are confident that most of
it will be done by Oct. 18th, and
that the line will be ready for the
ties and rails Immediately after that
date. Indeed, the construction
crew will be able to pass on to the
grade just northwest of Sanborn
most any time. None of the plats
of the townsites along the line have
yet been fled with the register of
deeds, or handed to the county sur
veyor for his approval, although
the auction sale of lots is expected
to be announced at most any time.

when the discharge of rifle was heard
in the yard of house next to the
road. Several soldiers rushed into

two more shots, which came whizzing
in the direction of the general At
this moment came to break in the
hedge where | could see what was GO

in his hand. 1t afterwards turned out
that this rifle was choked. The SOL
diers were breaking down the high
heoge to get in. Suddenly the Filipino
made a run for life. He got through
the hedge some way and dashed across
an open field. Three shots followed,
all of which took effect. The wound
ed man turned, ran sideways a few

second after was dead. l got good
sight of the whole incident, and so
naturally did the Filipino stretch him
self along the ground and rest his head
upon his arm that l thought he was

later proved that he was dead. There
is this difference between the manner
in which American and Filipino sold

and dies hard; the Filipino stretches
himself out, and when dead is always

late concerning the use OF secondhand

Of poisonous germs from particles Of

The secondhand use Of these packages
is matter of economy on the part Of
the packers, as the new boxes cost from
$3.50 to $500 per 1000, while they can be
bought for IS cents per 1000 from a

that he wished to join the party OF

wanted to discuss some minor matter

time the grand duke was not available;
but the prince followed them to Paris.
One morning early in May the prince
cabled to Col. Fred Grant, who was then
in Chicago. He asked for the hand of
Miss Grant in marriage. Before night
he received a brief but satisfactory an
swer. Concerning the matter, Gen.
Grant said:

Miss Julia Dent Grant is named for
her grandmother, who was the beauti-
full Julia Dent, of ST. Louis. Miss Grants
mother was a Miss Honore, sister of
Mrs. Potter Palmer. She was born in

Grant had three winters in New York
society, and one at Bar Harbor, besides

mirers, among them Prince Victor EN-

Miss Grant refused to be queen. when
Prince Albert Of Belgium offered him
self and the half of his kingdom. His
attentions were very marked. But the

Palmer was the bright particular star,
because of the attentions of the Belgian
