Ross.Hanson Murder Trial.

Pleading has commenced in the
Ross-Hanson murder trial at Minot.
Some time ago Ross was convicted of
the murder of Napoleon Lemay and
sentenced to be hanged last Decem-
ber. Ross accused Hanson Of being
the perpetrator of the crime, and his
sentence was reprived until March G.,
in order to have his testimony against
Hanson. Fourteen witnesses were
sworn, but none gave very damaging
testimony against Hanson, and he
stood rigid cross.examination with
out wavering in the least. 1t appears
to many that Hanson is not guilty
further than being with Ross when
Ross murdered Lemay by shooting
him in the back.

Rumors Of Short Cuts by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Revived-HoteI
at Grafton Robbed-Minot
Murder Trial CLOSING,

Rumors Of the short cuts by the
Northern Pacific are revived. The
latest comes from Minor, where it is
stated that an employe of the road an
nounced that the Northern Pacific
would extend the Minor line to Edge
ley and build new line thence to
connect with the main line either at
Dawson or at Steele. It Is said that
the cutoff would enable the company
to avoid the heavy hills around Valley
City and Jamestown and would make
route thirty miles shorter across the
state for the coast trains. The fast
train and all through freight would
be run via Wahpeton, Edgeley and
Steele and leave Fargo, Jamestown
and other towns of the fast line.
Fargoans do not take much stock in
the story and assert that it will be a
long time before the Northern Paci-
flc will pass up that city, even to save
thirty miles travel to the coast.

are again almost within their banks

here and at the headwaters the worst
Of the food may be considered as
over. At 10 a. m. the Allegheny was
receding at the rate of half foot an

Only a half dozen times in a GEN.
tury has the record Of Sunday been
beaten, but Notwithstanding this and
the damage has not been as great as
in many previous foods, when the
water did not reach as high stage.
Indirectly the loss is heavy, as all
the mills and factories fronting the
two rivers have been compelled to
close and probably 10000 men will be
idle for several days.
Throughout all Western Pennsyl-
vania the streams everywhere over
flowed their banks and caused more
or less damage.
With the falling water q mass of
mud and sediment is left deposited
on the lowland thoroughfares of the
two cities. Little pools of water are
frozen over and the sidewalks are
covered with sheets of ice. The wa
ter in many Of the cellars also froze
during the night and the health au-
thorities are apprehensive Of much
sickness following in the wake of the
food. AS quickly as the waters re-
cede gangs Of men will be put to work
and the flooded districts thoroughly
cleansed.
