IDLY pull March away from West, that
he simply took hold of March's arm,
and that March backed away. of his
own accord and continued to back away
even after Wood let 60 of his arm, and
until the shot was fired by West he
continued backing up. 49,.
Z The state therefore held that de-
PENDANT was not entitled to- bail and
that he should be held by the sheriff
till the trial was over, the same as any
other person accused of murder, and
who had committed it deliberately
even though it was not 2premeditated,
and there may have been some provo
cation. .
The attorneys in the case have not
yet decided whether o. not the. case
will be tried at, once or not. It can
be tried Immediately if SO desired, on
it may be postponed till the latter part
of the present term of court, and sif.so
it will be tried the first week in Janu-
airy. There seems to be general de-
sire to try at. once,% and the defense
will without doubt desire an early trial
especially if bail is denied.

CORPUS FOR WEST.
Attorneys for the Man Held at Grand
Forks for Killing of March
( Will Apply for Writ
Telegram to Members Of. Supreme
Court Asking When Appii- /
cation Can be Heard. :

The West-March murder case at
Grand Forks will probably come before
the supreme court at the capital to-
morrow in the shape of an application
for a writ OF habeas corpus for the de-
PENDANT in the case, w. E. West. Tel
egrams have been received by the
members of the court today from
Cochrane & Corliss, who are attorneys
for West, asking when the court could
hear the application for a writ. The
court will be in session tomorrow for
that purpose and has 81 advised the at
torneys. The PARTIES in interest will
probably arrive in the city tonight
prepared totake the case up tomorrow.
The question involved in the case is
the admission of the defendant West
to bail. This matter was argued be-
fore Judge Fisk of the. district court
at Grand Forks and the application for
bailEwas refused. The defendants at
torneys contend that he killing was
such a one as does not preclude the ad-
mission of the defendant, West, to
bail. 1t, is claimed he acted in self
defense, and that at the time the shoot
ing was done he believed himself in
danger of violence from March. On
the other hand the state argues against
admitting the defendant to bail for the
reason that the shooting was not done
in self defense, and was done while the
defendant W a cool and collected and
after the. assault had taken place.
Assistant States Attorney Scott Rex
is assisting States Attorney Wineman
in the prosecution of the states case.
The particular point on which they
laid a great deal of stress was the tes-
timony Of P. Mcdonnell, the contractor
If Duluth, who was present and wit
messed the shooting and the blows that
preceded it last Saturday evening,
which resulted in the death of March.
In the preliminary hearing Melon
e stated that when West arose to
his feet after he had been knocked
down, he appeared very collected. He
drew his revolver and fired, though
several in the room cautioned him not
to shoot. Mcdonnell said that West
did not appear excited in the least,
and that he appeared to know exactly
what he was doing when he fired the
fatal shot. The state also called at
,ention to the fact that Mcdonnell had
:estifed that w. B.. Wood did not fore

Now both the busy congressman,
Gird up his loins with glee,
And with a smile prepare to make
The laws for you and me,
Debate with heat of many a bill,
To IT the Nations ills,
Putt forth a speech that many a page
OF the dull Record fills.
How glibly rolls the tariff forth,
From his prehensile tongue,
Of the great problems, old and sere,
How many changes rung,
The bones, long dry and feshless
OF ancient things and hoar,
Are dragged from darkness into light
And ratified as before.
He, knows the currency by heart,
And every postal route,
He franks the rules and documents
To farmers all about,
He is a statesman, simon-pure,
No problem may arise
But he car Wrestle with the thing,
And floor it if he tries.
Alas! Alas! Just as he dreams
The battle has been won,
Just as he thinks his triumph sure,
He finds he is undone.
He gets a postal card from home,
He turns it DER and reads:
"Dod-rat your speeches and debates,
Why don't you send my seeds?"

WANT BAIL FIXED.

Attorneys Cochrane & Corliss for
West, the man who shot March at
Grand Forks, have applied to the dis
trict court for bail. They claim West
acted in self defense and that a bail
of 5 $1,000 ITO $4,000 should be fixed and
that it would be furnished ait once.
The state opposes the request on the
testimony of a Duluth contractor who
saw he shooting and who testiies that
West shot. after he had been warned
not to do SO, and that he appeared cool
and suffering under no excitement.
Judge Fisk took the matter under adj
viseunent. The funeral services over
the remains of March we're held at

SHEPPARDs, VA, Sept. IL, 'Ol.
Editor Herdid:-Six new tobacco
barns have been built near Sheppards
in the past few weeks to house the in
creased crop.
Some one remarks that labor must
not be so scarce after all. But the
truth about the matter is that day
laborers" are scarcer than ever known
in this vicinity, for the reason, in part,
that so many are making crops Of their
own who formerly worked by the day.
OF course the main reason Of scarce
labor is emigration Of the able-bodied
hands.
Mr. Walter J. Davis, of Richmond,
is in the neighborhood looking after
the tobacco crops. His advice to the
farmers is 'cure your tobacco up dark. y
But that is not always practicable.
Mr. Geo. w. Carter met with an ac-
cident while building a new barn last
Saturday. He had one arm badly
hurt.

Major Martin, of the Street Commit
tee, recommended that the rock being
replaced by granolithic on Main street
be put on High street, commencing at
the monument and running in the
rection Of Main street.
Mr.. Wall approved the suggestion of
Major Martin, and it was opposed by
Mr.. Davidson upon the high ground
that it would be obviously unfair to
tax payers who have paid their pro-
portionate amounts for paving done
along streets abutting their property.
Mr.. Davidson believed the Council
could well afford to bide time when
the pavements can be put down on the
basis Of the work being done on Main
street. Mr.. Wall moved that the rock
be laid on High street except so many
a. will be required for stepping stones
where needed throughout the town.
The motion was carried.
