Mr., Biggs, in opening for the defence.
SAID there were two sides to the case.
and they would show that Fahey had
nothing TO do with Vansant's false
swearing that Fahey never opened his
mouth to Vansant as to what he would
testify to; that Fahey and Lynn met
by accident in saloon. Lynn asked
for Vansant and Fahey took him to the
Girard street houses where Vansant
was in charge.
The defence would show also that on
the day Vansant testified in the LYNN
case, Fahey was attending'a meeting Of
the trustees of the poor; when he came
back he read in a paper that Vansant
had testified that he went to Lynn's
and Fahey took him there. The next
morning. Fahey looked up his time

ASSURED.
FalrGroundS and Race Track
proposition Assumes De-
finite Shape.

For several years there has been a
growing feeling that Sank Centre
needed first-class grounds for an agri-
cultural fair and race track. From
time 20 time spasmodic effort has been
madeto secure them, and success at
times seemed very near. This sum-
mer the need has been more apparent
than ever, and few of the determined
ones. concluded to make another
effort. A subscription paper was
Giro ulated, and the indications now
are that success has been achieved.
A number of publi% spirited citizens
have agreed to organize TO that end,
and they are determined to accom-
plish their purpose. They are san
guineto believe that it will be ready
for use this fall, although too late for
any great event. A fair ground
means much. This city Is centrally
located in an agricultural territory,
a territory unequaled in Minnesota.
The utm ost variety of crops flourish,
aud the stock interest is developing
rapidly. A good track makes pos
sible attractive races, and the in
clusion of Sank Centre in circuit
which will bring together large con-
course OF people. The city will be
benefited greatly, but not more than
the contiguous territory.
Another. and very important result,
will be a series of monthly fairs for
the purchase and sale of whatsoever
the farmers may have to offer, and
the establishment of a Stable market.
Our citizens can afford to be liberal in
promoting the enterprise-nay more,
they cannot afford not to be liberal.
