APPEAL TO SCIENCE
HANSEN TRIAL ENLIVENED BY Elk.
CURSIONS INTO PHILOLOGY
AND ASTRONOMY
ALMANAC Is INTRODUCED
Defense Pins Faith to Proving That
Moon Did Not Shine on the
Night of the Alleged
Robbery.

Complications of an unusual sort have
been introduced into the trial of M. ].
Hansen, accused of having robbed Miss
Rose Gugler, one evening last winter,
and the continuity of the testimony
bearing directly upon the robbery has
been broken at frequent intervals by eX-
cursions into astronomy or scientific diff
ferentiation of the languages.
Miss Gugler testified Wednesday that
the man who stopped her on Cromwell
avenue on the night of Dec. % and rob-
bed her of ten cents in money and a
gold ring, spoke broken English, and
said that from his dialect she judged
him to be a Bohemian. Yesterday The
defense put witness on the stand to
testify that constructively Bohemian and
the Danish language which is the native
tongue of Hansen, are widely different
and not to be easily COMPOUNDED
Another of the witnesses of Wednesday
was Charles o. Brewster stepfather Of
Miss Gugler, who with a neighbor, took
the trail of man in the fresh snow
from the scene of the hold-up until he
overlook the man, who, he says, was
Hansen, on University avenue. Both
Mr.. Brewster and Miss Gugler in refer
ring to the events of that evening, fixed
the time of the robbery and the chase
after the robber between o'clock and
$40, and in the course of their testi-
mony both stated that there was moon
light during the period referred to. Mr..
Brewster at the request of counsel tor
the defense, drew a rough sketch show
ing the position of the moon in the
heavens as he remembered it.
Late yesterday afternoon the defense
introduced an almanac in evidence in
an attempt to disprove the testimony
of the witnesses for the prosecution,
as to the position of the moon, and to
prove that there was no moonl ght at
the time in question, but inasmucn as
the situation was not set forth in the
almanac with sufficient clearness the
court declined to accept it as authority,
and the defense will endeavor to secure
a professor of astronomy from either
the state university or the st. Paul high
school today to solve the problem.
Hansen, who processes to be unable
to speak English with sufficient huency
to testify in that language, gave mis- tes-
timOny yesterday afternoon through an
interpreter. He stated that on the night
in question he had been to the oil mill
where he worked, to get a ring which
he had left in the wash room.

dard

The state dairy and food department
yesterday announced the results in The
FEBRUARY scoring Of the butter submitted
III the monthly competition About $50
tubs We're sent in, and the general stand
ara Of the lot was better than if has
ever been before. First place went to W.

Of excellent uniformity. The cheese sub
mltted has not been scored as yet, but

The progress made by the butter
makers, as shown in this contest, is the
very thing which the department Is
working for-the one idea the department
had in view when it established the
monthly contests which have since be-
come so popular. Many of the butter
makers who We're very low last summer
IN the contests are now up close to the
leaders Each contest shows a greater
number of contestants ranging from SO
TO 80 thar the previous one did This
proves mat the work is having an inf1u-
ence, and is achieving the very object
that 1t was Instituted to achieve-name-
iy, general uniformity of Minnesota
butter, an Improvement of the poorer
butter so as to create a higher standard
throughout the state. In many cases IN
spectors of the department have gone
directly to the buttermakers and pointed
out mistakes to them, with the result
proved their butter and today send in
butter which ranks right up near the
top.

lows:

The principal address of the day was
delivered by State Insurance Commits
sioner Elmer Dearth, of Minnesota He
spoke of the good which the mutual in
surance companies are doing in the state.
Since 1872, when the law authorizing their
formation was passed, there have been
1872 companies organized These com
panies carry the risks of over 100000 farm
ers, the aggregate value of the insur-
ance being $135, 462, 629. These risks are
carried for II cents per 500, about one
fifth the rate charged by the regular
stock companies. This means a saving
of over $l50000 in premiums each year.
In the matter of selecting a place for
the next convention considerable Of en-
thusiasm was manifested. Topeka. Kan,
Seattle, Wash, and Chattanooga, Tenn,
were bidders for the honor, and each enc
had strong following in the convcn-
ton. Several men spoke in favor of
each place, but the roll call resulted in
giving Chattanooga large majority,
and the association decided to hold its
next annual gathering in that city.

GARNISHEEs ARE LIABLE.
Judge KeIly's Ruling in a Germania
Rank Case.


In the case of Gustave Willius as re-
ceiver of the Germania bank, against
William Porten, defendant, and George
f. Cabot and Luther S. Gushing, as
trustees, garnishees, Judge Lewis has
filed an order denying the motion on the
part of the garnishees for their discharge
from liability in the action.
AS to the argument presented by the
garnishees, as ground for their discharge
from liability, that their Indebtedness is
joint and not several and the g@&ishee
summons was not served personally up
on George E. Cabot, the court holds that
parties to a joint obligation shall be
jointly and severally liable thereon to
the full amount The court states that
he is not prepared to say that the garni-
shee Cabot would not have been entitled
to his discharge had he not appeared
in this matter or had he moved separate
ly for discharge; but the motion is for
the discharge of both garnishees and
must be passed upon as an entirety.
Regarding the assertion that the disclo-
sure showed no Indebtedness at the date
of the garnishee- summons, the court
holds that the contract was substantially
completed in all things at that time.

Tore Down Negroes House.

Five hundred citizens OF Washington,
Warren county, n. j., including mer-
chants, business men, several woman and
many laborers, attacked the home OF
David Lundy, an aged colored man, at
Washington, n. j.. Monday, and demOl-
ished every stick of furniture and turned
the house up on its roof Lundy is more
than 20 years old. He has been married
four times, and is the father OF ~ child
rem. lie enlisted in the Union Army at
the outbreak of the Civil War. Last
year the Government granted him pen
sion. with 81 800 back pay He has
since been giving champagne suppers to
his colOred friends. Three weeks ago he
acquired a new housekeeper, Hanna
I.osaw, white, pretty, 20 years old, and
twice a widow Both Der husbands had
been aged pensioners. Neighbors grew
indignant and appealed to the town au-
thorities, but as no action was taken, o
number of citizens concluded to take the
law in their own hands. Lundy jumped
out of a window with an axe in his hand
and was knocked down with fence pal
ing and severely injured. Next door to
the destroyed property lives George An
drews, an old colored man, for whom the
Losaw girls mother has been house
keeper for three years. He was told to
get rid OF the woman at once or his
home would meet the same fate.

THE year 1901 was one OF pros
perity throughout Virginia. Farm
products sold fairly well and the
States resources were wonderfully
developed. Business in every section
of the State was good and money
circulated freely. Virginia is n fine
agricultural State ard she is rich III
minerals, also. Nature has greatly
blessed her, and it is a pity that her
natural advantages have neither
been known to the outside world
nor fully developed by home
capital. Her manufacturing indus
tries are of no small considera-
ton. and these were blessed with
marked prosperity during the year
lust closed. More, her raw materials
are valuable, her water-power aud
climate are excellent and her farming
lands are we'll adapted to almost any
crop, Surely there are great posi-
bilities for the Old Commonwealth,
and we trust that her energetic and
enterprising citizens may push the
State for all she is worth during the
year 1902.
