strongly of the opinion that it was very |

trongly of the opinion that it was very
favorable to the conviction of the ac-
cused in the degree charged in the in
dictment, murder in the first degree.
Tracy F. Bangs, who defended William
Barry. convicted of the murder of An
drew Mellem at Grafton, and sentenced
by Judge Cowan to life Imprisonment,
will appeal the case to the supreme
court on a plea of former jeopardy, and
expects to be successful in securing
Barry's freedom. After Mr.. Bangs had
secured new trial for Barry he was
tried the second time at Langdon. The
jury found verdict of murder in the
second degree and fixed the punishment
at seven years in the penitentiary. Judge
Cowan declined to accept the verdict,
and the jury then disagreed.
At this trial the state was represented
by George NJ. Price, states attorney of
Cavalier county, and E. Sinkler, states
attorney of Walsh county, and Mr..
Barry was represented by Tracy r.
Bangs and Maj. Hamilton. of Grand
Forks, and H. A. Libby, of Park River.
The jury was selected in seven days
and the trial continued for over
two weeks, the evidence of some seventy
five witnesses having been received by
the Jury.

DISTRICT COURT OPENS.
June Term of Court Opened Yes
terday With a Heavy Calendar
Of Civil and Criminal Cases---At
Least Three Weeks Required to
Clean Up the Calender.

Yesterday afternoon Judge kneeshaw
opened term of district court here
and in consequence there is the same
amount of stir and hustle as last week
when the city was thronged with teach
ers attending the institute. With a
calendar containing tifty-siX civil and
six criminal cases 1T is likely that the
present term of court will continue for
at least three weeks. The afternoon of
yesterday was taken up with arranging
the order in which the cases will be
taken up for trial and it Is expected
that the routine work of district court
will be started up in grinding out its
grist of cases today. On the criminal
calendar the Fremont murder case in
which George McDougall is the de-
fendant, naturally attracts the greatest
amount of interest. There are also
three blind pig cases to come up for dis
position at this term. It would not be
altogether surprise if the jury found
itself here for the races next month.
Below is given list of the jurors and
the calendar of cases entered for trial
at this term:

Jury-Barry is Taken to Bismarck.
After being out all Friday night the
jury came to an agreement at half past
six o'clock on Saturday morning. The
Jury rendered verdict finding Barry
guilty of murder in the first degree and
fixed the penalty at life imprisonment.
Only two ballots we're taken. The first
ballot taken Friday evening showed ten
in favor of life imprisonment and two
in favor of hanging. The second ballot
was taken just before the jury reported
on Saturday morning. When Barry
learned of his conviction he broke down
and wept bitterly. Judge Cowan for
mally sentenced Barry to the peniten-
tiary in the afternoon and he was taken
to that institution Monday. The case
will be appealed to the supreme court
on the ground of former jeopardy and
errors in the charge of Judge Cowan in
his charge to the jury.
The Barry case was left in the hands
of the jury to decide upon verdict
Friday afternoon at five o'clock.
The arguments of Tracy r. Bangs and
H. A. Libby for the defense, took up
most of the day Thursday. Mr.. Bangs
contended throughout his address to
the jury that Barry was insane at the
time of the homicide, and said that
even if ordinarily a sane man the pro-
vocation was so great that a jury would
be warranted in finding verdict for
lesser degree than that charged in the
Indictment. During Mr.. Libby's talk
to the jury he declared that the con-
fession of Barrys sister was responsible
for the loss of his reason.
Attorney Sinkler's address to the
jury took up all of Fridays session with
the exception Of that occupied by the
court in reading its charge to the jury.
He claimed that the crime was pre-
meditated, that Barry was perfectly
sane and that full measure Of punish
ment should be meted out to him.
The charge Of Judge Cowan was

Walla Walla, Wash. April T.
you'll be sorry you made me wear
that cap" said IA year old Oscar Pear
son to his mother as he turned to go
upstairs.
A few mintes later a mufded sound
was heard and fall. His mother
thought it was the slamming of door,
but asked the father to go up and see.
The boy was found dying on the floor,
with a bullet hole cleaT through his
head behind the ear
The suicide is one of the strangest
that ever took place here. The dead
boy was the son of T. T. Pearson. a
wealthy rancher living at PalOuse and
Whitman streets, and was a pupil in
the highest grade at the Sharpstun
school. He was a recluse, assOciating
with no one but his father and mother,
though liked by other boys. He studied
very hard and was a natural Ornitholo-
gist, having collected a room full of
specimens.
Young Pearson disliked new clothes,
and objected to wearing a cap which
his parents had purchased for him.
He finally consented. however, reluct-
antly, then told his mother he had
some business upstairs. He is said
to have always had a violent temper,
but the condition which led to the eli
max is thought to have been coming
on for some time. The suicide was
committed with an extension % rife
pistol. The boy shot himself while
standing, and fell with the pistol in
his hand He died in 20 minutes. He
was an only son and had always been
INDUCED to the utmost. His parents
are distracted

DECKS RAN WITH BLOOD.
Bursting Shells Bowled Over Man At
ter Man.

Bursting Shells Bowled Over Man At
ter Man.
The Novoikrai of Port Arthur thus
describes the scene on board the
cruiser Bayan during the recent bonn
bardment in which she distinguished
herself:
Bursting shells bowled over man
after man until the decks were Slip
perry with blood. Amidst this storm
the captain stood unmoved in the con-
ming tower, calmly telephoning orders
to the gun captains. His wonderful
calmness had a marvellous influence
upon all the officers. The cockpit was
soon crowded, 80 being killed there be
fore the fight ended, but, amidst the
crash of the guns, the hiss of flying
projectiles, the thunder of explosion
the racket of splinters and the din o.
the working engines, the surgeons la
bored over the sick as at the hospita
operating table. Although some of thu
men suffered frightful agony, Their
were few groans in spite of the fac
that anesthetics were administered il
only one case.
"When the battle ended and tn
enemy began to draw off, the officer
on the bridge cheered and the cheer
: ing extended down into the hold tn
stokers and even the wounded me
joining in.
"The captain signaled for full spec
ahead after the retreating japanese
but the Bayan had not gone far befor
} the flagship signaled to return"

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report is as follows:
Low temperatures and heavy rains,
bad roads and floods have checked
spring trade, delayed collections, dis
couraged Easter demand and closed a
three months period of rather back
ward business in the north, east and
west. There are some redeeming feat
ures, however; agricultural men have
done probably the best implement sea-
osn's trade on record, the railways
are gradually getting out of their trans
portation difficulties, the western
clothing and shoe trade have done very
we'll and the feeling in the iron and
steel trade is a more cheerful one than
seemed possible a short time ago.
While all signs nearly point to small
er turn over in the cOuntry's trade thai
in 1908, feeling is still general that the
crop outlook. stimulated by high prices
favors large yields, and warm, dry
weather is eagerly awaited as furnish
ing a true test of the real trade situa
ton.
Business failures in the United
States numbered 212.
