5THE = TRIBuNE.

A full pardon, through a commuta-
ton of sentence in the Mckenzie, case
has been signed by President Mckin-,
ley and Hon Alexander Mckenzie is
a free man again. This will be%wel-
come news to the people Of North Da-
kota regardless OF faction or party, who
have believed that the sentence Of the
San Francisco court in this contempt
case was unusual and severe. MI.
Mckenzie was not convicted of any
crime-he had simply violated the
order OF the court-not m~aliciously or
Intentionally but under a condition or
combination of circumstances that
called for more lenient consideration
than given. by the court of appeals.
AS chapter after chapter Of this cause
are written and have gone into history
it resolves itself into one of the mcst
celebrated cases in the history of AM
erican jurisprudence. Nor is the end
yet. The court of appeals having ter
minated Nh, McKenzie's receivership
Of the mining properties out OF which
all this trouble has arisen, one of the
conditions precedent to the pardon is
the turning over to the court Of appeals
of a certain amount OF gold dust taken
from the mines in dispute and depos-
tied in the Seattle mint by the re-
ceiver, for judicial determination of
rightful ownership, But as to the
civil features the people OF North Da-
%kota are not so much concerned. Mr..
McKenzie's friends did not believe him
guilty Of crime Or Intentional defiance
of the court and their confidence has
not been misplaced. All will rejoice
that Mr.. Mckenzie is again a free man.

The constitution does not follow the
Tag, is the decision Of the United States
supreme court, according to inside adj.
vices from Washington. The Chicago.
Record-Herald correspondent says:
This decision-the most important
thai. great tribunal ever made--will; be
handed down next Monday. The only:
element OF doubt as to the appearance
.ofthe Judgment on that day lies in the
fact that one or two OF the Justices
ma not have their opinions finished,
and that out Of courtesy to them, 1t
will be necessary to have a further de-
lay. But all the probabilities are that
the Iong-1ooked for decision In the
famous insu1ar test cases viii be ready
for announcement on next Monday.
This was the expectation OF the justices
themselves forty-eight hours ago. The
decision is IN favor Of the government,
but by a divided bench. It cannot be
said with positiVeness how many dis
s5eenting opinions there will be, but two
o. three is the number expected BY
those who are best informed. There
Wi1lbe at least five individual opinions,
but some Of these are concurring
opinions, expressing the views of the
writer's q fully and particularly
thai IS done IN the opinion Of the ma
jority Il is understood the opinion
OF the majority d this case has been
written by Chief Justice Fulled.'

DAM APPLE CREEK.
THAT'S WHAT JOHN YEGEN HAS
DONE. AND THE REASON WHY.

THAT IS WHAT JOHN YEGEN HAS
DONE. AND THE REASON WHY.
John Yegen has built dam in
Apple creek where it runs through his
farm north Of the Lawrence bridge.
In speaking of the dam he said:
when I came here twenty-five years
ago Apple creek from source to mouth
was one succession Of beaver dams.
Throughout the country till very late.
in the season a goodly supply of water
lay in the various s1oughs and lake
beds that r now dry and uncultivat-s
able. In the spring of the year and
well through the summer season con-:
siderable water stood in the bottom
lands south of the city. Eventually
these beaver dams In the creeks about
the country yer cut out, the beaver
killed and the numerous creeks ard
lakes drained. It is my firm convic-
ton that If more dams were put in
creeks and sIoughs and the spring
thaWs caught and held that the farmer
would have less aus to deplore the
lack Of rain, as moisture will attract
moisture and in a few years the rain
fall would increase wonderfully.
The dam put in Apple creek by Mr..
1Yegen is intended to food a large
acreage in one place making q lake
a half a mile wide and several miles
long. He believes that every farmer
who lives along the creek should fol
low his example and says that DR..
Adams, who has purchased the George
Marshall place will build one there.
