Into the court room several minutes before
the jury filed In, and while waiting smoked
his pipe in the same unconcerned manner
as heretofore. He appeared not the least
interested in the proceedings and when
the verdict was announced he was as calm
and collected as he: appeared when the
verdict Of guilty was rendered in the first
trial Judge Henry will pronounce the
death sentence. When the convicted man
walked from the court room he calmly
filled his pipe and lighted it as he passed
down the steps. While nearing the jail
he weakened for the first time since his

Mems Names.
. JAMESTOWN, N. D.-The books Of the
defunct Hankinson Mutual Insurance COM
pany were introduced in evidence in the
case against the alleged wreckers, Ran
dali, Gildre and Miller, to recover $e5 900,
and from the accounts it appears that
while $4,000 in money and notes was
taken in by the trio and their agents, only
s5,210 was paid out on hail losses. The
evidence Of Attorney c.. l.. Dwyer, who
was employed as secretary Of the com
pany, showed that large sums Of money
were transferred to Randall at different
times. According to the testimony Of Mr..
Dwyer. the directors, who resided at Han
kinson. were merely acting for the defen-
dants, who had been in the insurance bust
ness before and preferred to have others
before the public as fathering the con-
Germ.
Lightning struck the residence Of Leo
Pfeffrle, southeast Of Jamestown, dam
aging the interior to quite an extent. The
hired man was asleep upstairs and was
covered with plaster and other materials
torn from the walls. Ffeffrle went up
stairs expecting to find the man dead, but
instead found him sleeping peacefully. He
was awakened and was much surprised to
learn what had happened.

dena and Destroys Crops.
WADENA, NINA hail storm did
much damage to the crops in the town Of
Leaf River, just north, of here, yester-
day afternoon. The storm was of great
severity, but it did not cover much coun-
try, it being in a little pocket along
Leaf river about one mile wide and two
miles long. In that strip of country
everything was practically destroyed, al
tho perhaps the damage at this time looks
more fearful than 1t really is. It hailed
for three-quarters Of an hour, and a heavy
wind accompanied the storm In fact,
the people Of Wadena were looking for a
cyclone, the clouds looked SO threaten
ing. A horse which was out on a meadow
was killed by the hail.
The storm skipped the village Of Wa
dena, but Just south they had a heavy
electrical storm. Ralph Hough, aged Is,
living on the farm OF M. j. Katzky, was
killed by lightning. The house was
struck. and it required hard work on the
part Of the neighbors to save it. Hough
came here from Nebraska last year
South Of Verndale there was strip Of
country which was hailed out and con-
Siderable damage Is reported from that
direction. Reports from sebeka,
Manahga and Park Rapids indicate tina
the storm did not strike there. Blunton,
six miles west Of us, seemed to be about
the starting point. There was no hail
near New York Mills, according to tele-
phone communications.

buttons It has been denied that it was
prepared in advance, but the Cedar Rap
ids Republican published full copy Of
it on the evening of the convention. e The
publishers Of the Republican said in an
swer to the charge that it was prepared
in advance, that it was wired from Des
Moiness AS a matter Of fact,stbut one
verbat tim report OF the speech was taken
In Des Moiness and that thru the efforts
Of the correspondent Of q Ell o ur.-
nal, and this report was not in form to
be sent out until a late hour in the eve
ming. u
It is the belief here that Congressman
Cousins was induced to prepare the speech
by number. of leading stand patters.
Senator Trewin Of Cedar Rapids is given
credit for poking Cousins UP to take the
stand he, did,. The political effect Of it
has not been good for Cousins and has
served to increase: the dissatisfaction in
his district. It is limited, too, that Trewin
is getting ready to take advantage Of it
and to help GUST Cousins from his, con-
gressional seat. Trewin, who is law
yer and politician of unquestioned abil-
Iity, is being talked Of as Cousins sue
cessor.
