Strongest Evidence Against the Tankes
Was Withheld.

When the state rested in the Tanke
hearing at st. Peter, A. J. Eckstein,
attorney for the defendants, did not
conceal his pleasure and demanded
that the court order the state to pro-
duce any testimony it might have
as ainst the defendants. The court of
course denied the motion and what
ever of evidence the state has in it's
possession, other than that brought
out since Monday, will be kept Sc
cret.
Sheriff Mcmillan and County Attor-
ney Davis claim their best evidence
has not been presented and that they
only introduced enough to warrant
the justice in binding Mr.. and Mrs.
Tanke to the district. court. The mo-
ton of Mr.. Eckstein to discharge was
denied. District court meets on the
fourth Tuesday in November.
Detective Coleman was not sworn,
and it is thought that he has some i'm
portant evidence to give in the case,
as he was instrumental in bringing
about the arrests.

BROUGHT SUIT.
Attorney General Douglas Starts Quo
Warranto Proceedings For Normal
Board.

DOaIO.
Minneapolis Journal:
Attorney General Douglas will as k
the supreme court tomorrow morning
for a writ of quo warranto directed
against the state board of control.
Papers have been prepared by 81. W..
Childs, attorney for the normal school
board. The attorney general argued
the borax case in the Minneapolis
municipal court this afternoon, and to-
morrow will be free to bring the &C
tion.
The attorney generals appearance
will be only formal The case will be
argued by General Childs and Lafay-
cite French. The court will set date
for a return of the writ, when both
sides will appear with arguments.
General Childs left for Washington
last evening with F. B. Kellog. They
will represent the state in the suit
against the interior department to es-
tablish title to sections 16 and 36 in
the Red Lake Indian reservation. This
case was originally won by Senator
Davis when L. Q. G. Lamar was sec
rotary of the interior, but the decision
was afterward reversed, and then
taken into the supreme court. F. B.
Kellogg appears for the attorney gem
eraI, succeeding Senator Davis, and
General Childs is retained by State
Auditor Dunn. On leaving for Wash
ington he left the normal board papers
to be completed by his partner, George
Edgerton. He will not return for a
week or more.
The petition will be set forth that
the board of control has been usurping
the authority and duties of the nor
NAL school board and will demand
that the board of control show reason
for such action. The case will deter
mine whether the board of control has
authority over the educational. institu-
tions.

pine sapling with chains and his hands
and feet chained to his body. Pine
knots and straw were piled about the
body and saturated with coal oil and
the whole set on fire. The negro
made no cutlery when the flames first
reached him and only when he was
partly consumed did the spectators
notice any movement on his part. He
made no resistance when being bound
to the stake and said that he deserved
his fate.
Mrs. Ball, while waiting on the ne

back. when the negro seized her and
dragged her out into the road. He
beat his victim on the head with

her. Going back to the store he took
