MINNESOTA NEWS.
Sad Accident.

John Krisko, six-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Krisko, living at
Columbia Heights, near Minneapolis,
was accidentally shot and killed on
Co. Fs rife range, near his home.
The unfortunate shot was fired by
Percy A. Walton, captain of Co. F of
the national guard.
The Militia squad consisted of nine
men, including Capt. Walton, First
Lieut.. STEELE Smith and Corp. Barring
Gould. Seven men had shot ten rounds
each at the 200-yard target. When
the eighth man came up to shoot
there were two men in the target pit
and seven at the shooting mark.
The eighth man had new rifle
with an ivory sight which he wished
to try, and he did try it. Then he
handed the rife to Capt. Walton, with
the request that he try it also.
Capt. Walton examined the rifle
carefully, but said that he would not
shoot at the target, as the rifle was
too powerful.
Suddenly he swerved around to the
left, and said:
Look here, I will fire at that
newspaper there"
He leveled the rife to his shoulder,
took careful sight, while his six COM
rades stood back of him watching the
mark and then he fired.
His aim was too true. As soon as
the bullet struck a small boy jumped
up and then fell back.
1t took but an instant for the hor-
rible truth to demonstrate itself to
the young soldiers. Instead of firing
at newspaper, Capt. Walton had
fired at a human target.

A HARD FOUGHT LEGAL BATTL
THOrlAS GOING NOT GUILTY.

Court convened at 9:15 Friday
morning. The court house was
filled in five minutes until standing
room was at premium.
The famous Going -Splawn murder
case was at once called and witnesses
called to court.
The following attorneys repre-
sented the defense: Munro, Sanders
and V. +. DePass. j. G. Wallace
and w. w. Dixon assisting Solicitor
Sease.
1t was evident that the most in
tense interest is still manifest in this
case from the crowd which so early
packed the court room.
MIR. Tom Going was present
dressed in a neat fitting suit, and
while something of an anxious ex>
preston showed itself upon his
countenance he seemed self-posessed.
Mr.. Sanders, leading counsel for
the defense, stated that he had an i'm
portant railroad case elsewhere in
which he was the only one to repre-
sent the railroad, and that he would
be compelled to attend the case on
Ifthis case could be
finished by tomorrow Saturday
night he would be willing to 90 on
with the case. If not he did not
think he could, with justice to his
client, do so. The Judge replied
that he thought the case could be con-
cluded in the time specified, that it
rested entirely with the counsel to
eliminate useless and irrelevant testi-
mony.
1t will be remembered that on the
afternoon of Dec. 13, 1900, Tom
Going shot and killed Joseph NJ.
Splawn in his, Splawn's, Office in the
tower of the Union Cotton Mills.
This case was tried at the September
term of court, 1901, and occupied
some three days. The case went to
the jury at 1.35 p. m. on Saturday
night and remained in the jury room
until lO o'clock Sunday morning
when mistrial was ordered.
At FIVE minutes after ten o'clock
this morning the second jury was
empanelled as follows after fourteen
