ADDRESS FOR PROSECUTION.
Deputy Attorney General Prosser for
the Territory occupied a scant twenty
minutes in his closing address FOR the
Territory. At the outset he said one
could generally tell early in a criminal
trial what line of defense was to be
taken. In this case the trial had not
proceeded three hours until ii was clear
that the defendants sole reliance was
upon technical objections. BY far the
greater portion of the eleven days of
the trial was taken up with the discus
sion of the defendants objections on
law points, all of which might have
been disposed of in five minutes. Mr..
Prosser was saying 20 the jury that
when Mahaulu, as he had admitted,
took $4,000 of the Territory's money to
cover a defalcation of E. s. Boyd's he
committed embezzlement just the same
as IL he used the money to pay Boyd's
water rates or his wine bill.
THE COURT OFFENDED.
Judge Gear here interrupted the Dep
uty Attorney General, telling him he
had no right to make statement of
lew to the jury which was contrary
to the intended instructions of the
court as made known to counsel in the
absence of the jury.
Mr.. Prosser remarked that Mr..
Thompson had addressed the jury on
that point and, being informed that his
course was improper, turned to the jury
with the remark:
Having received n polite jolt from
the court, l have no more to say on
this subject"
Judge Gear asked him what was the
remark he had made about the court
and when it was repeated to him stat
ed that the language was improper and
would not be allowed. Mr.. Prosser dis
claimed any intention of disrespect and

STRAIGHT CASE ARGUED.
Mr.. Prosser then concluded his ad-
dress without further interruption He
ehowed the cash book where Mahaulu
had marked the item "s935.S7" as the
deposit containing the $9a5 Clark money
and, dwelling little on Mahaulu's ad-
mitted false swearing. urged that q
clear case of embezzlement was made
out. 1t was time something was done
TO stop the stealing OF public money.
The jurors were taxpayers as Mr..
Thompson himself was. but defendants
counsel was perhaps the only one who
was not kicking. as he was going to
get some OF the stolen money hack. Mr..
Thompson laughed with the rest OF the
audience at this pleasantly.

SAVED THE BOYS LIFE.
Happy Thought of Brother Prevented
Him From Bleeding 10 Death.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. 22.-After
accidentally shooting his brother Fred,
aged ~ years, Louis Tyler, son of a
well known Minnehaha county farmer,
probably saved the formers life by
thrusting the injured boys arm into a
-four barrel and thus stopping the great
flow of blood.
While the boys were at home alone
they commenced playing with a shot
gun, which was in the hands of Louis,
when 1t was accidentally discharged.
The charge struck Fred and tore the
flesh off the under side of his right
arm. part of the charge also struck
the boys left hand, injuring one fnged.
The wound in the arm bled profusely
and Louis took his brother to a -four
barrel and thrust the injured arm into
the -four, The doctors say that this
action saved the boys life. Otherwise
he. would have bled to death before
physicians could have reached the
scene.
The injured boy is now in a Sioux
Falls hospital and will recover unless
blood poisoning sets in.

A. Towne, who has just returned from
a stumping tour in Indiana, said today
that partial canvass of that state by
the democrats showed that If the elcc-

Parker in the hoosier state in Novem-
ber are very unfavorable
The canvass of Indiana" said Mr..
Towne, rs now being conducted by
the state central committee. The most
salient feature of 1T to date is the
vast number of voters under the dem
ocratic column that are doubtful The
poll shows that a great many demo-
Gratis are going to vote for Watson
and still more for Roosevelt, but our
greatest damage is in the apathy of
those who were leaders in 1896 and
1900. Most of them are going to vote
the ticket, but they are not working
for It, If we can arouse them we may
win the state, but the situation looks
very unfavorable for Parker"

six months Marie Madalene Glaser,
aged 10, has been slowly dying of

IOwA's OLD BELL IN UTAH.
Stolen by the MOrmons Many Year.
Ago, 1t May Now be Returned.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Sept 2l.-Charles
w. Irish, a member of Nevada's sur
veying STAFF, and a representative of
the irrigation department of the ma
uonal government, thinks he has dis
covered in the tithinghouse in Salt
Lake City, Utah. the famous old bell
that was transferred half a century
and more ago from the old capitol of
Iowa, in Iowa City, to the Presbyterian
church tower, here. and thence stolen.
1t is written in the archives of Iowa
City, the territorial capital of the state,
that band of Mormons passed through
here late one night, when the rest of
mankind slumbered, and stole the bell
from the tower, bearing it westward
as fast as the caravan could carry it.
Mr.. Irish pioneer of Johnson coun-
ty' knows peculiar marks on the bell,
and thus Identifies it.
He will strive to induce Utah to send
the bell back TO Iowa City, or to Des
Moines, in order that it may be placed
in the state historical rooms or in the
state capitol.
The information comes from Mrs.
Elizabeth Irish of Iowa City, his
daughter to whom he has written de-
tils.

RESULTS OF IRISH LAND PURCHASE
~ '"cssfui WORKING of the Lnnd Pur-
"base System ~ shown in Ireland
by Official Reports.

LONDON. Sept. 22.--The successful
working of the land purchase system
In Ireland is once more the chief fea-
ture of the annual report of the Land
Commissioner, which has Just been
issued. On November l last there were
69,9lO tenant purchasers, who owed
S12,355,SS0 in respect of the half-yearly
installments under the land purchase
acts of 1885 and 1891. On July 21 only
1863 persons were still in arrears, owing
$12,195. During the year the land COM
missioner found 1t necessary to adver-
tise for sale the holdings of S5 default
ers, but 63 of these paid up all arrears.
Thus, only 22 persons out of nearly
10000 purchasing tenants failed ulti-
mately to fulfill their obligations to
the state, and lost their holdings. The
result speaks well for the security
which the Irish tenant affords for gov
ernment loans to facilitate a system
of land purchase.
