Till Case.

Bismarck Tribune: The Till mur-
der case is again attracting interna-
tional attention and Baron Louis Am
brozy de Sedan, secretary of the Aus
trian legation at Washington, Thurs
day called upon Gov. White in the
interest of Till. Till was a Hunear-
ian who came to this country several
years ago and settled in Pembina
county. Shortly afterward settler
there named Miller was murdered.
Till was suspected OF the crime, ar
rested, convicted and sentenced to a
life term in the state penitentiary. A
year or so ago an attempt was made to
obtain his pardon from Governor
Fancher. Till's friends in Austria
and representatives of the Austrian
government in the United States took
UP the case and asked for clemency.
Judge Young Of the supreme court
filed with the governor, at the latter S
request, a statement Of the facts in
the case, and after considering the
matter from all sides, the governor
refused to grant the pardon. Till is a
comparatively young man, and is now
serving his term at the state prison.

Got Big Verdict.

St. Paul, June 29.-The jury in the
case of Nels S. Olson OF Enderlin
against the 500 road yesterday, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, CIV
ing him $4,000.
Olsen sued for the loss of an arm,
asking $4,000 damages. During the
trial Of the case one man confessed to
having perjured himself and others
admitted having signed a false state:
ment. These witnesses were for the
plaintiff and it was later developed
that all OF them were employees Of the
road and are now filling more lucra-
tive positions than.they were at the
time the statement was signed.
On the first ballot the jury stood six
for $4,000, five for $40, 900 and one for
$4,000.

Wants to Put 10 Creamery.

The Alert is in receipt of another
inquiry from an Iowa man about put
ting in a creamery at this place. He
proposes to come to Jamestown pro-
vide the most modern machinery and
run creamery on the most modern
plan if the people here will provide a
suitable building with a. sufficient
supply of water and the farmers will
guarantee enough milk to be had to
operate the year through. The writer
claims to have worked two years as a
buttermaker in an Iowa creamery
that has just burned and is now being
ing rebuilt, and to have had s years
experience in the business.
There seems to be no difficulty in
the way Of getting putter making
plant located here if the proper push
on the part Of the men most interest
ed, is given to the enterprise.

ant.

Monday afternoon after court had
been adjourned, Adolph Brucker ap-
peared at the court house and was i'm
mediately arrested on the bench war
rant issued by Judge Glaspell and
placed in jail. He was held there un-
til today, when he testified to his
being stabbed on the night of Dec. p,
1899. Attorney Sanford, who appear
ed for Miller, objected to Brucker's S
testifying as his name does not appear

jury January, 1900. Judge Glaspell
sustained the objection, ordered that
the jury be discharged and the defend
ant be committed to jail until new
Indictment be drawn, bond to be fixed
at $1,000. This last portion of the
courts ruling caused Mr.. Sanford to
withdraw his objection to Brucker's
testifying. The trial then proceeded
with the same jury.
Brucker told of conversation with
Miller, how he had seen something
flash in the defendants hand when
they were standing at counter in
Smith & Hofacker's, and how in few
seconds he found he was wounded.
Witness also related how Miller had
sent for him weeks later, and had eX-
pressed sorrow for having done it
would as soon have cut his own
brother. The coat and vest worn by
Brucker on the occasion Of the stab
bing was admitted in evidence.
Brucker donned the apparel and
showed exactly where the coat had
been cut through.
DR.. Sifton told of dressing the
wound and Draper concluded his tes-
timony. He said that Miller told him
he did not know why he did it, and
that it seemed like dream to, him.
Bill Hathorn, Mrs. Joe Miller, Ferle
Fergus and young man named Cos
sett testified regarding the alleged
insanity of Miller on the day previous
to the atfray with Brucker
States Attorney Rose, and Attorney
Sanford for the defense, argued the
case and it was submitted to the jury.

An examination of the man showed
that four of his upper front teeth had
been driven up into the jaw by COM
ing in contact with the big oak beam
of the elevator, and upon examination
it was found that quite large splin-
ter was torn off the beam by the teeth.
The lower jaw was broken on both
sides of the face, his skull was frac.
tured and two ribs broken.
1t is supposed that Scherrer had re-
tired for the night, as he was attired
in his sleeping garments when found,
and that he had gotten up to get a
drink of water or something, and that
in passing out of the room he mistook
the distance about the elevator and
walked into the shaft, when he
thought he had reached the stairway.

FLAX And OATS SICKLY
Crop Bulletin Says Flax and Oats are
SiCkIy and Wheat Crop
Good.

Bismarck, n. D., July 2.-The week.
ly crop bulletin for the week ending
July l, says severe storm passed over
the state June "a and did considerable
damage. Wheat is beginning to head
and is doing well. Rye and barley
are growing nicely, but oats is not as
good crop as might be the case. Too
much water and lack of sunshine has
had bad effect on the flax crop in
some sections Of the state. Corn is
poor crop and many fields have been
plowed up. A heavy hay crop is as
sured.
Ypsilanti reports good wheat and
poor flax. Pingree says some flax is
poor and some good. Oats generally
good, although crop is thin in some
instances.

season for prairie chickens will be
Sept. l, this year, instead OF Aug. 20
as formerly. Another game law is
that prohibiting the killing OF ante
lope in the state for period OF ten
years and another prohibiting absolut-
ly the sale of game of any kind.
The law giving the attorney general
of the state power equal to that OF the
states attorney of any county, in in
stituting prosecutions is also in effect,
and is said to presage a general cru
sade by Attorney General Comstock
against the blind piggers Of the state.
The SANDER of females is a mis-
demeanor. Any person who speaks
disparagingly Of the character of a
woman in the hearing of another will
be liable to la fine and imprisonment
in the county jail. Another law de-
signed to improve the morals OF the
state is that prohibiting the re.mar-
riage of divorced persons within three
months from the time Of the divorce.
This law was passed to prevent the
marriage at Is minute intervals from
the granting ofdivorces.
The barber's bill, providing for the
appointment Of three BARRIERS as a
state board, and the. issue of certiti-
Gates to all qualified BARRIERS is an
other to take effect. This law re-
quires every practicing barber in the
state to pay license fee and be ex-
amined. The repeal OF the state wolf
bounty of So is in effect and another
bill taking effect requires commission
ers of every county to offer a bounty
Of So for wolves. The compensation
of county commissioners is increased
to 81 day. The office of commits
sioner of irrigation and forestry is
abolished and w. w. Barrett of
Churches Ferry, who has held that
office since statehood is out Of job.
There will be general change in
teachers examinations, which will be
thereafter conducted by the state de-
partment of public instruction in
stead of by county superintendents
This will insure uniform teachers
certificates through the state and re-
move the matter of teachers examina-
tions from local influences. Examina-
tions will be reduced from $1,000 to
81, 900.
Another peculiar law taking effect
is that making it misdemeanor to
expose dressed beef for sale without
having the hide on display for a per-
iod of ten days. The penalty is a fine
and Imprisonment. Thus butchers
Offering the product of eastern dressed
beef concerns for sale will be liable to
fine and imprisonment unless they
arrange TO have the hide of the animal
sent along-a practical impossibility.
Another law creates state farmers
institute board, whose duty it shall be
to arrange for holding farmers insti-
tutes through the state to. the end
that better and more scientific meth
DDS of farming may be taught. An
appropriation of 81, 500 annually is
made for that purpose.
