the month of May this year was about
half an inch which with the small
amount for April, SO of an inch,
makes only a little over / inch Of rain
in sixty days.. Where is there another
country on earth that would stand so
much punishment? The spell is now
broken and we are likely to have
plenty of precipitation from this time
on. Last year the precipitation in
the month of May was 4.3O and the
year previous 2.G5. In but one pre-
vious year has the rainfall in May
been less than this year. In 1890 it
amounted to only 81. In 1883 it was
40, and in 1885, 80, and in 1894, 10.
These were the only years when the
rainfall in May was less than one inch.
The mean average for May for twenty
five years at Bismarck has been 2.49
inches. Last year the rainfall in
June was 5.iH inches-the greatest
in twenty-five years with the excep-
ton of 1883, when it was 5.77 and
1890 when the phenomenal fall of $40
inches occurred.

GETS NEW TRIAL..
Supreme Court Grants a New Trial in
the Case Appealed by Dr.. Belyea
of Devils Lake.
Defendant Was Sentenced to Three
Years Imprisonment for Perform
ing an Abortion.

The supreme court of the state has
granted a new trial in the case of DR..
E. H. Belyea Of Devils Lake, tried for
the crime of murder in the second de-
gree, in the procuring of an abortion
upon Julia Solberg, in JAN, 1899, and
sentenced to three years at hard labor
in the penitentiary. The case was
argued at the recent term of the SILL
preme court by John M. Cochrane of
the firm of Cochrane & Corliss OF
Grand Forks, for the appellant, Belyea,
and P. ]. McClory and Attorney Gen
eral John +. Cowan for the state.
The case is one of general interest
in the northern part OF the state where
Dr.. Belyea is we'll known. The infor-
nation in the case, filed early in Jan
uary by States Attorney McClory of
Ramsey county, charged the defend
ant, DR.. Belyea and Albert Sampson
with the crime of murder in the second
degree, alleging the subsequent death
OF the victim of the operation, Julia
Solberg. Upon this information DR..
Belyea was tried. The jury returned
a verdict after twenty-four hours de-
liberation which the court refused to
accept, but ordered another form of
verdict prepared which was submitted
to them, and which they afterward
agreed upon and returned. The syl-
labus of the supreme court in the case
is as follows:
The information charged, or at
tempted t.. charge, the defendants with
the crime Of murder in the second de-
gree committed by the defendants
while they were engaged in the COM
mission Of a felony defined by section
TIT. Revised Codes, relating to the
crime of producing or attempting to
procure the miscarriage of a woman
pregnant with child. The facts con-
shutting the offense, defined in section
Il77 We're set out in the information,
Held, that the information did not
charge two distinct and independent
offenses and hence the demurrer there
to upon the ground of duplicity was
properly overruled.
Held, further, that all averments
In the information relating to the sub
ordinate felony were properly and
necessarily inserted in the informa-
ton as descriptive of the major offense
that OF murder in the second degree.
Held, further, that the subordinate
felony defined by section 7177, Revised
Codes, is foreign to and is not gener.
ally connected with the offense Of muir.

1t is worth considerable to IL
reader of this paper to know the value

many influences and unforeseen con-
%tingencies that the wisest are totally
unable to gauge the future. Know
then, that Doan's Ointment will cure
any case of hemorrhoids, commonly
known as piles, or any disease Of the
cuticle or skin, generally termed &C.
zema. One application convinces-a
continuation cures. Read this proof.
Mrs. T. P. Ross, guest of the Fargo
House on North Front street, Fargo,
N. D., says: My husband suffered
intensely from itching hemorrhoids.
He tried physicians treatment, ONT
ments innumerable. everything he
could think about and everything adj
vised by friends and acquaintance to
rid himself Of the intolerable annoy
ance, but until he tried Doan's Oint-
ment all his efforts were futile. He
used the ointment faithfully for three
weeks and the itching was completely
allayed. The hemorrhoids shrunk
gradually away until they disap-
peared. The pleasure of such a result
can only be understood by those who
suffer similarly. To share in this
pleasure there is only one course to

ARRAIGNED.
James M. Jenkins Arraigned in the Dis
trict Court on a Charge of MUIR
der and Pleads.
Says He is Not Guilty-Wil Be KEEP
Confined in the Jail Until After
Son is Hanged.
(Froml Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
James M. Jenkins, father of Ira o.
Jenkins, under sentence of death in
the Burleigh county Jail. was this
afternoon arraigned in the district
court on al information filed by States
Attorney Allen, charging him with
murder in the first degree. He pleaded
not guilty to the charge. States At
torney Allen will not move the case
for trial at this time, and the defend
ant was remanded to Jail.
The old man was the principal wit
ness for the state in the murder trial
against Ira o. Jenkins. He was told
by States Attorney Allen that an infor-
nation would be filed against him
charging him with murder also, and
that he would have to remain in Jail
until after his son was hanged. He
made no objection. States Attorney
Allen also told him that he might also
be hanged before the matter was fin
ished, but to this the old man smiled
and said there was no danger of that
that he was not guilty and did not
fear a trial.
1t is not known whether an appeal
will he taken to the supreme court in
the case Of the younger Jenkins or
not. No move has been taken yet in
that direction. A transcript of the
testimony will be made by Steno-
grapher futile and filed with the gov
ernor, as the law requires this to be
done in all murder cases in which the
defendant is sentenced to death.
II the judgment of the court is car
ried out on the day now set. Septem-
Der IA, there will he two two hangings
in the state on that day, Hans Thorpe,
the wife murderer at Minot, having
been sentenced to die on that day. If
these two sentences are carried out
they will be the first cases in the state
in which there have been executions on
the verdict of 4 jury. The only legal
Aangings in the state have been those
o. E%omberger and J. w. Cole, and in
10th Of these cases the defendants
pleaded guilty.

DIRECTS A VERDICT.
Judge Winchester Directs a Verdict fol
E. G. Patterson in Suit for the
Ostlund Barn.
Litigation Over the Property at Corner
of Main and Fifth Street in Dis
trict Court.

The suit of E. G. Patterson against
John Ostlund for the possession of the
property at the corner of Main and
Fifth streets, on which the Ostlund liv-
cry barn stands, was yesterday after
noon ended in the district court when
Judge Winchester directed the jury to
find a verdict for Mr.. Patterson. The
suit was begun some time ago, when
Mr.. Patterson bought the property
from Mrs. Ostlund, since deceased. A
number of years ago., John Ostlund,
the former owner of the building,
decided it with his other property, to
his wife, for a money consideration
and that of marriage. Subsequently
Mr.. Ostlund and his wife separated,
and some time ago Mr.. Patterson
bought the property from the wife, in
whose name it still was. Mr.. Ost-
lund refused to give possession, and
claimed the place as his homestead.
Testimony on this feature Of the case
was given yesterday, Oscar Ward tes-
tifying that Ostlund had slept there,
and to the question whether he thought
it such a place as the defendant could
take his wife and children, said he
thought it was.
F. H. Register appears for MI. Ost-
lund and Attorney McClay of Fargo
conducted the case for Mr.. Patterson.
The case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court.
