DISTRICT COURT NEWS.
Stafford Found Guilty.

When we went to press last week the
evidence in the Stafford case was nearly
all in. County Attorney Graham opened
Thursday for the state and was followed
by Joe Ross. These speeches were both
good arguments. Friday morning G. w
Cosson spoke an hour for the defense
His speech was able, adding to his repu
tation as jury lawyer. John II. Mosiel
closed for the state in very able and
exhaustive speech of about three hours
in length. The jury retired at about three
o'clock and staid out that evening and
night and Saturday all day and night
till twelve o'clock, making thirty-three
hours, when they returned verdict of
guilty. In the meantime Judge Macy
had gone home leaving other matters
with Judge Green. Macy will return
here Saturday morning to hear argu-
ment for a new trial and if that is over
ruled to sentence the prisoner.
Last week in giving some of the let
tiers the state introduced in evidence we
overlooked the following letter which is
the one the state claims was sent by
Stafford and Mrs. Webber to Sioux City
and type written and sent to Mr.. Weigh
ton. 1t contains threat to burn the
barn. Here it is:

p. S. Petersen, of Poplar, Killed.

A most deplorable and fatal accident
occurred at Poplar, Sunday night, by
which Peter S. Petersen, storekeeper,
and postmaster, lost his life. The oc-
casion was the going out of
the old year and the ushering in
of the new. About half a dozen men
were gathered at the blacksmith shop
there, and We're engaged in celeLrat-
ing the event by firing an anvil. As
they wanted to make louder report,
they got hub of buggy wheel,
placed it on one anvil, poured in lot
of powder, placed on its top another
anvil, lighted the fuse and stepped
away. The explosion was terrific.
The groans of Mr.. Peterson were soon
heard by his companions. He had not
fallen and they caught him. A
piece of iron from the bursted hub had
been blown through the shop door and
had passed through his neck, severing
some large arteries and mangling the
tissues. He was cared for and DIR.
Brooks was telephoned for, but before
the physician reached him, the
wounded man was dead. He only
lived about half an hour after the ac-
cident occurred.
Mr.. Petersen was the storekeeper
and postmaster at Poplar, which is a
country Office in south west Douglas
township. He was perhaps thirty-fve
years of age, and leaves a wife and fam
lily. He was a son-in-law of John Ros-
enbeck, a we'll known citizen of those
parts.
