Mason City. Feb. 5.-The defense In
the Linhoff case made rapid strides
yesterday toward the theory of pro-
tecting her husband and home when
Mrs. Linhoff fired the fatal shots on the
night of Aug. 80. 1901. The defendant
has claimed all along that Mrs. Brom-
ley attacked him before the shooting.
with a picket or club and in fac:
showed the next day a wound on the
side of his, head watch evidenced an
assault of some kind. He and his wife
also claimed that when Mrs. Bromley
hit him with a picket tina. Bromley had
a stone and DIT was this which deter
nlinted Mrs. Linhoff TO go inside and
get the revolver. At the last trial no
one was to be found who had seen the
picket, altiro it was proven that one
had been torn off the fence and was
missing the day after the murder.
Yesterday the defense produced thetiTst
real sensation In the case by introduce
ing witnesses TO prove the existence of
the picket and the stone. Joseph MUIR
ply. of Owatonna, testified that he Wis
tied the scene next morning and saw a
stone near the Linhoff porch close ito
some drops of blood and remarked 10
the sheriff who has since died that ne
wondered II that stone had anything to
do with the tragedy. Anna Allen. n girl
II years of age, testified that she saw
the picket the next morning under the
Bromley porch with a mail in 1t an!
covered with some blood. 1t was along-
side of large cloth. The witness
could NOT be confused by the states
cross examination. j. j. Sloan, a steam
filter. testified that he had seen the
tragedy and had taken the dead man In
his arms from his wife. Mrs. Mace also
testified that she had seen the bloody
picket under the Bromley porch on the
afternoon after the tragedy. As all of
this IS new testimony IT Is evident that
II will have much weight dn the deeds

MADE GOOD STOP.
Firemen and Citizens Save a Dwell.
ing on Agency Hill.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The central station fremen were call
ed out at $3.50 a. m. today by a still
alarm from 973 East Main street, the
residence of Frank Draper, driver of one
of the delivery wagons of the American
Express company. The roof was all
ablaze, having caught from the chimney.
As the house is located on the top of the
hill, near the store, there was no water
pressure, and the firemen and spectators
organized bucket brigade and passed
buckets along the line so rapidly that
there was almost a stream of water
pouring on the roof. All six chemicals
were also used. The fire was extin-
guished, and the damage confined to the
roof, aside from what was caused by
water. 1t was an excellent stop.
All of the household goods were re-
moved, and the damage was confined al
most entirely to the dwelling, and prob
ably 500 will cover the loss.

wv. W. SMITHS CANDIDACY.
Well Qualified for Position Of County
Superintendent.
From MONDAYS Daily.


w. w. Smith announces his candi-
dacy for the position of county super
intendent of schools, subject to the ac-
ton taken by the Republican primaries.
He is a young man who is well quail
fed for the position, by education, ex-
perience and natural temperament. He
graduated from the academic course at
Dartmouth college, and taught one year
in Blue Earth county, was principal of
the school at Melrose Park for one year,
and was principal of the schools of
Slayton for two years. He then attend
ed the law school of the state university
since which time he has been engaged il
the practice of his profession in Manka-
to, where he has won the confidence and
respect of all.
Mr.. Smiths academic training, his
knowledge of the law and his practical
experience in teaching both rural and
graded schools eminently fit him for the
position which he seeks. 1t is safe to
say that the schools would continue to
progress most satisfactorily under his
supervision, while he would be able to
interpret school law without delay.

STATE FAIR PLANS.
Premium List Is Issued and 1t Con-
tains Much Information.

President G. N. Cesgrove and Secretary
E. w. Randall of the State Agricultural
society, in the introduction of the new
premium list for the fair of 1904, which
has just been issued, announce the con-
tinuation of many of the popular feat
ures of recent fairs as well as some new
things which will be of great interest
to exhibitors.
One of the prominent attractions at
the coming fair will be the new manu-
features building, now being erected on
the fair grounds.
Reference is made to this in the list
as well as to the amusement program,
which includes night entertainments and
an increased program of purses for track
events. But the main interest is in the
enlarged list of premiums for agricult-
ural and live stock exhibits.
Liberal additions have been made in
every division of the fair as the result
of careful revision of the list, which
brings it up to date. Fully $1,000 have
been added to the premiums of the vari-
GUS divisions and the Minnesota state
fair now offers in prizes the sum of
$4,000.
