The morning following the
lynching the preacher hurried to
Tom Camps to see how he was
bearing the strain.
His door was wide open, the
bureau drawers pulled out, ran
sacked and some of their con-
tents were lying on the floor.
Poor old fellow! I'm afraid
he's gone crazy!" exclaimed the
preacher. He hurried to the
cemetery. There he found Tom
at the newly made grave. He
had worked through the night
and dug the grave open with his
bare hands and pulled the coffin
up out Of the ground. He had
broken his finger nails all off
trying to open it, and his fingers
were bleeding. At last he had
given up the effort to open the
coffin, sat down beside it, and
was arranging her toys lie had
made for her beside the box.
He had brought lot of her
clothes, a pair of little shoes and
stockings and bonnet, and he
had placed these out carefully on
top of the lid. He was talking to
her.

AGAINST THE STATE
DECISION IN CASE OF MINNESOTA
VERSUS THE NORTHERN Sc.
CURITIEs COMPANY.

st. Paul, Aug 3.-The decision in
the case Of the State of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities COM
pany is in favor of the company.
Judge William Lochren. in his decision
filed Saturday morning In the United
States circuit court, holds that the
company is lawful organization and
orders the states bill dismissed.
Judge Lochren rules against the
state on both counts it set up against
the company. holding that the North
ern Securities company does not vic.
late the Minnesota law prohibiting
parallel and competing lines from
consolidating, nor does 1t violate the
state antitrust law
On the latter point Judge Lochren's
decision is directly contrary to the de-
cision by the United States circuit
court of appeals in the federal case
against the company, In which it was
held that the company is in violation
Of the Sherman antitrust law. Both
cases will now go before the United
States supreme court for q final de-
cision.
There can be no immediate effect of
Judge Lochren's decision. The de-
cision Of the United States circuit
court Of appeals has declared the
Northern Securities company illegal,
and that decision stands until 1t is re-
versed by the United States supreme
court. The circuit court of appeals
ordered the Securities company dis
solved and it's holdings of railroad
stock returned to the former holders.
II the supreme court sustains this de-
cision, the result contemplated is the
winding up Of the Securities company.
Should the supreme court reverse
Judge Lochl en-. the result would be
the same, since the relief sought was
the same in both cases.

To Investigate Buford Entries.

Land Commissioner Richards has de-
termined to ascertain the true condi-
tions with reference to taking up the
lands in the abandoned Fort Buford
military reservation, North Dakota.
1t has been reported at Washington
unofficially that desert land entries
have been made for large portion of
this reservation in the interests of
stock men who have been grazing their
cattle there during the many years it
has been withdrawn from settlement.
1t is also said that the filing Of these
desert land entries has barred legiti-
mate homesteaders from taking the
land and that contests will result
which will cloud the titles for long
time. It is said at the land office that
desert land entries may be made for
these lands and that such filings
would. II made for legitimate purpose
Of reclamation, bar homesteaders, but
II these desert entries were made in
the interest Of third party, such en-.
tries would be void An inquiry will
be made into the question of good
faith on the part Of those making en-
tries. It Is probable that the special
agent now IN that section will be de-
tailed for that purpose.

In the case Of the Pine Tree Lumber
company VS.. the City of Fargo holds
Fargo for more than a quarter of a
million Of old paving warrants The

E. w. Kneeland, superintendent Of
the Duluth Elevator company, has just
made an inspection trip over the Red
River valley on both sides of the river
The inspection was as thorough as
Mr.. Kneeland could make it, and he is
convinced now that the valley farm
ers are not nearly in as bad condition
as many claim. Mr.. Kneeland stated
that he believed that the Red River
valley would produce more wheat than
1t did last year. The yield last year
was cut down In many sections to a
very low yield, by several hail storms,
something that has done but very lit
tie damage this year so far. 1.-THE
weather could not be better than it
has for two weeks" said Mr.. Knee
land, "for growing crops. Wheat is
filling nicely, and while the straw will
be light the yield will be surprising.
The crop Is spotted and there is some
that Is hardly worth harvesting, but
there Is much more good wheat than
there is bad, and would not be sur
prised to see a yield over the state of
from ten to twelve bushels to the
acre" The railroad companies keep
pretty close tab on the crop situation,
and the Great Northern officials have
received reports that have been suffi-
clently encouraging as to convince
them that there will be a ten-bushel
crop from the state this year. This
would mean that ten bushels per acre
will be shipped in addition to the
home consumption, and what will be
retained for seed. This would mean
yield of between twelve and thir-
teen bushels to the acre. On the
whole the situation is very promising,
and the past few weeks has added
much to the chances of the state for
q fair crop.

WILL FOLLOW LEo's POLICY.
Election Of Sarto FavorabIy Received
In France.

Paris, Aug. 4.-The election of Car
dinal Sarto as pope has created a dis.
tinctly favorable impression in gov
ernment quarters here, removing the
fear that the choice might fall upon a
radical or reactionary candidate,
Although not espousing any particu-
lar candidate official feeling has been
favorable to one who would continue
the conservative policy Of the late
pope. Cardinal Rampolla at first
seemed to be the best exponent of a
continuance OF the former policy, but
nc lacked the necessary strength.
Cardinals Sarto and Di Pietro were
regarded as being closely identified
with Rampolla and as likely to share
his general views. The choice of Sar-
to is therefore satisfactory as apparent
ly insuring the continuance of the re-
cent policy of moderation followed by
the holy see in it's relations with
France and other Catholic countries.
