Very Suspicious
Circumstances are Brought to
Light but no Evidence in

Fasten Crime on Anyone.
/ HARD FOUGHT PRELIMINARY

The preliminary trial of Ella Gill
lette and her son Elmer, charged with
the murder of Chauncey Gillette, hus-
band and father, is without doubt the
hardest fought one that has ever TAX
en- place in North Dakota. It COM
menced Tuesday evening after supper
and has occupied the attention of
Justice Peyton's court ever since with
the exception of half a day recess
caused by States Attorney Burr being
called out Of town There are about
twenty persons summoned to give
testimony. The state has finished its
case and the defense is introducing its
evidence. t.a.
States Attorney Burr is prosecuting
and E. B. Goss is making a hard
fight for the defense contesting every
inch of ground.
That Chauncey Gillette was mur-
dered seems to be the opinion of near
ly all who have attended the hearing,
but little if anything has been brought
out to fasten the crime on the parties
charged with it. The testimony
shows that there was sufficient
quantity of poison in his stomach and
liver to produce fatal rsults, and that
the wound on the skull must have
been received half an hour before
/ death.
M Mrs. Gillette il 81 years old, being
i've gears the senior Of her late husA
band. Elmer Gillette, the other
defendant, is 90 years old. They are
not without friends, as several of the
neighbors are here to testify to their
good character, some of them speaking
very highly of the accused.
The testimony is very yoluminous
and we are enabled to give only a
synopsis of it. 49,
The first witness examined by the
state was George Sargord. He had
known deceased since 1902. Last
time he saw Gillette was about two
weeks before his body was found in
the we'll, Dec. "a. On cross examina-
tion he testified that it was about five
O'Clock in the evening when he in com
pany with three others took the body
out of the we'll.
Coroner Romanson testified to hold
ing an inquest On Dec. 81, and ordered
a post mortem examination to be
made at which time the stomach,
spleen, liver, kidneys and bladder
were removed. These organs were
sealed up and the stomach delivered to

tions to take it to Fargo to Prof. Ladd

he delivered himself to Prof. Ladd.
N. P. Nordin was called and cor
rcborated the testimony Of Coroner
Romanson in regard to receiving the
stomach and delivering it to the
chemist at Fargo.
Prof Ladd, who examined the
organs for traces of poison, was called
and said that he was a graduate of
the University of Name and at
present professor of chemistry at the
Agricultural college at Fargo; had
considerable experience in examining
internal organs for poison; corrob-
grated the testimony of Romanson and
Nordin in regard to receiving the
organs; found some morphine in
stomach. and considerable in liver;
enough so that it might have caused
death. On cross examination said
that Nordin had told him about the
case but it did not influence him in
his report or testimony; named the
different tests he had made On re-
direct examination he said that he
made no examination Of the other
organs as he found enough poison in
stomach and liver to satisfy him;
preserved other organs for use of the
court. r aa*

PREPARING FOR BIG PARADE.
Fourth of July Committee Arranging
For Grand Parade. Civic Socie-
ties to Take Part. Ball Game

The Fourth of July Parade Commit
tee is arranging for larger parade
than was at first anticipated. Almost
every business house in Denison has
signiied intentions to join in the pa
rade with a display, and every civic
society," and all the fire departments
are going to join, thus making oce Of
the best exhibits ever given in Den
ison. The ladies' auxillaries will also
form part of the parade. The com
mittee on sports has also arranged for
a game of base ball between Denison
and Charter Oak. This will be a very
interesting game, as both teams are
about evenly matched. The coming of
the Charter oak team to Denison will
bring good big crowd of citizens from
that little city.
All the committees are now busily
engaged getting everything in readl-
ness for the Fourth, and it is safe to
say that Denison will, without doubt,
have one of the best celebrations in
western Iowa.

CRUSHED BY CAR OF LUMBER
Unknown Man Gets Caught Between
Car of Lumber and Another
Car at Berne.

Coroner Fuester was called to Berne
Monday afternoon. A car OF lumber
had been sidetracked there the day
before and when it came to unloading
it a man was found pinned to one end
of the car. The body was in a stand
ing position and had probably crawled
in there to steal ride. The train
starting up suddenly probably caused
the heavy load to slide against the
mans chest aud thus crushed his life
out. Blood from the mans mouth,
nose and ears had flowed freely and
had spurted distance of ten feet. The
mans head had swollen to twice its
natural size, and no doubt he had snf-
fered terribly b-fore death came. In
his pockets two dollars and couple OF
postage stamps were found. No letters
or any other means of ider titicahion
were found -Schleswig Herald.

5. M'HENRY AT DIES MONIES

Association Meeting the Register
Reporter Interviews Him.

Sears McHenry, of Denison, who at
tended the bankers convention, says:
"Crop failures do not mean as much to
Iowa farmers as they once aid. He can
afford them occasionally, and since they
come only about once in hundred
wears in Iowa, he is able to go right
along without ripple in his business
affairs.
Business conditions l think never
we're better. The bank deposits have
continued to grow, and the reserve has
increased only within the last thirty or
sixty days. The travelling men are
said to report that business in the coun-
trv is not as good as it was at this time
last year. 1 have no doubt but what
that is true. 1t is due to the fact that
the business men is not rushing reck.
lessly into debt, remembering the ligh:
crop of last year, and realizing that
this is presidential campaign year.
Now no one imagines that Their
will be any result of the national cleo
ton except the triumphant victory 0

TRoTTER VISITS TOWN
Native OF Belgium on $4,000 Wager
to Walk Around The World in $50
Days Passed Through Denison.

Last Wednesday there arrived in
town the so-called globe trotter. Louis
L. Grandjean, native of Belgium.
who claims to be on SlO,O 600 wager to
walk around the world in 1850 days.
He was recognized al once as he had
been so accurately described in the
daily press. He was dressed in a cor
duroy suit wore COW boy hat and
carried nothing with him but small
satchel strapped over his shoulder. In
this satchel he carries little
note book which contains all the evil
dence he has that he has actually COW
cred the ground. In this book is
stamped the post mark OF the towns he
passes through and the seals of notary
publics along the route. 1t also con-
tains clippings from the press descrip-
tive of himself.
According to the terms of the wager
he carries no money with him, and in
order to obtain the necessary where
with-sll he makes the round OF the
business houses and charges each mer-
chant ten cents for the privilege OF
stamping his business card 10 the book.
1t was noticeable fact that he visited
all the saloons while in town and re.
ceived from them something besides
money.
He has resided in France number
of years and has good knowledge OF
the French language He is also
botanist and writes letters OF bot
anical nature for number OF Paris
journals He started from Los Angeles
March 5th. The regular route laid out
begins at Los Angeles and goes west
through Siberia and Russia but owing
to the present war in the east he start
4 ed in the other direction. He passed
through Omaha the 18th. We do not
know why he came so far north as Den
lson unless he planned his route
through Iowa so as to cut out as many
prohibition counties as possible.
