WELLNER MURDER TRIAL.
Jury for Trial of Tanke Will Probably
be Completed Today.

The Tanke murder case, transferred
from Nicollet to Sibley county on
change of venue, is now in progress at
Henderson, Judge. Caldwell presiding.
The trial came up at special term
of court, held at st. Peter last Janu-
ary, and had scarcely gotten under
way when the proceedings came to an
end, caused by one of the jurors, An
ton Rachel, becoming violently in
sane, and the case was transferred to
Henderson.
Up to last night at 6 o'clock eight
iurymen had been secured, after ex-
hausting the regular panel of thirty
jurymen and special venire of the
same number.
The court has ordered another spe-
ciaI venire of twenty, and it was
thought the balance of the jury would
probably be secured this afternoon,
when the state will open up its case.
The case is being hard fought on
both sides. The St Peter Tribune
says that confinement does not seem to
have affected Tanke very much. He
looks and acts about the same as he
did at the trial there. His face appears
, however, more pale, if anything.

NEARING THE TIME.

Only about two weeks now remain
before the primaries will be held to
select delegates to the Republican
staet convention which convenes in
st. Paul July first. The denomination
Governor Van SAINT is fully assured
In fact the only contest now apparent
will be on auditor and clerk of court.
For the Office of clerk, it would
seem that the second district should
line up solidly for Capt. Everett. of
Fairmont. one of the old and hard
working Republicans of Southern
Minnesota. The captain is man OF
splendid attainments, an old soldier,
popular with all who know him, and
one who would add strength to the
ticket. 1t should also be borne in
mind that this district is entitled to a
good place on the ticket. Out OF
some fifteen elective Offices in the
state, the old reliable second will not
be represented unless Capt. Everett is
chosen at the state convention.
1t is fortunate at this time that Mr.
Everett is the .only man seeking a
place on the state ticket from this dis
trict. Heretofore it has been our mis-
fortune to go into the convention
handicapped by surplussage of can
didates for different places. With "a
single candidate. therefore, and a
united delegation determined to win
out, there is little reason to doubt that
the captain can land.
1t is up to the Republicans OF the
second district to determined whether
or not they will name candidate on
the ticket to be nomipated in July. If
they fail to do so the fault will be
their own.
