Geo. W. Murray Convicted Of Forgery.

Sumter, May 2o.-George w. Murray,
the former Congressman, was this even
ing convicted of forgery, after a despe-
rate fight by his lawyers to save him, the
trial consuming nearly two days. The
jury was out nearly an hour deliberat ating
but returned verdict of guilty without
recommendation to mercy. Murray's
attorneys gave notice of motion for a
new trial. The jury was composed of
the best men in the county and any effort
to make of bis conviction case of race
persecution will fail, for if there was
only partiality in sentiment between
Murray and the ignorant negroes who
prosecuted him it was in Murray's favor.
Murray is the largest land owner in this
county, holding about eight thousand
acres. He was ably defended and the
conviction was the result of the strong
est possible evidence of guilt, mainly
documentary, and part of which was
given and sworn to by Murray himself
in a civil suit held last year, at which
time he produced the forged contract
and offered it in evidence in support OF
his case.
SENTENCED TO TIE CHAIN GANG.
Sumter, May 2l.-The motion for

convicted yesterday of forgery, was
argued before Judge Pnrdy. The mo.
ton was denied, Judge Pnrdy stating
that, in his opinion, no other verdict was
possible. Murray, was sentenced to
three years on the chain gang and to
fine of $3.50. Notice of appeal was given
and Murray released on q $1,000 bond.

GUN PLAY NEAR EVANSVILLE.
Shootist Will Have to Answer to the
Grand Jury.


GAINESVILLE, Mimi, Aug. 9.-August
Berant, it is alleged, narrowly escaped
being shot at the hands of Ralph Quady,
who resides near the lie Sueur river, a
few miles south of here. 1t seems that
some time ago trouble arose over the
ducking of Mr.. Quady's father in tub
of water by number of men. Mr.. Quady
had brought his horses to be shod at
August Boska's blacksmith shop and
when he saw Berant, it is alleged, the
old trouble came to the front and blows
were resorted to. Quady, it is charged,
went to Voltz' hardware store, purchas-
ed thirty-eight caliber revolver, and
when he again saw Berant he shot but
failed to hit him. Shooting again the
bullet went by him and hit Boska in the
right knee, causing painful wound. He
again attempted to shoot, but DIR. R. o.
Craig made dive for the gun and turn
ed it aside. Quady was overpowered
and taken to the justices office, where
he was bound over to await the fall term
of the district court at Waseca.

MORE INJUNCT|ONS
New Crop Springs Up at Every
Move of City Officials.
Court Grants Restraining Order
Until August 18th.
Board of Public Works Again
Tied Up Temporarily.
Knockers Take Another Inning
at Litigation Bat.
from Tuesdays Daily.

fAOhh AoSo~y Dss
Three more injunction suits have been
begun in an effort to delay the paving of
Front, jackson, South Broad and Lincoln
streets until it is too lace to do the
work this year. The papers were served
on the city officials early this afternoon.
The actions are identical, and the plain
tiffs are about the same as in the suit
recently begun. The attorneys for the
plaintiffs are about the same as before,
Fl. L. & ]. w. Schmitt, J. A. Flittie and
NJ. j. Severance.
The court has granted a restraining or
der until Aug 18th at 0 a. M, when the
city officials must show cause why tenn
porary injunctions against awarding the
contracts should not be granted until the
case can be tried.
Much of the body of the complaints is
the same as in the suits recently start
ed, but some new features have been in
terjected, so as to gain hearing and
the consequent delay involved. 1t is
claimed, for instance, that neither the
board of public works nor any one else
ever presented plans, profles or specifca-
tions of the proposed work to the coun-
Gil or ever filed the same, for which
bids were called. 1t is further alleged
that the board of public works fraudu-
lently, wrongfully and unlawfully and
with intent to award the contracts to
the Barber company rejected the bid of
the Mccarthy company and advertised
for new bids. 1t is alleged that the
specifications as filed were wrongfully
and without authority changed by some
person or persons in many material par
ticulars, which are given, several words
being alleged to have been stricken out
or inserted
The city officials feel that the only re-
suit will be to further delay the COM
mencement of work.

TIMES UP IN CANADA.
Mr.. Sontag Tells How the "Canucks'
Are Doing Nowadays.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Engelbert Sontag is back from Rust
van, Canada, for a couple of weeks stay
on business. He is engaged in cruising,
that is, locating settlers on their land.
He says that Otto Mann, who went with
him, is settled on l60 acres of land and
is doing better than he ever did here.
Owing to the washouts, no mail was re-
ceived at Rustvan in the spring for six
weeks, and then seventytwo bags were
delivered at one time. 1t was like being
out of the world. When he left week
ago, harvest was expected to begin in
two weeks, and yield of about thirty
five bushels to the acre was expected.
Settlers are still coming in fast, mostly
from the United States. Hunting is
fine. A party went out and shot seven
ty-two canvass back ducks one day, be-
sides other ducks, and took what they
wanted and gave the rest to the hotel
keeper. The latter invited the donor to
have beer, which was all the thanks
he offered for them, so common is this
kind of game there.

s BIG SHOW
The State Fair of 1904 Will
Break All Records.
Will Open This Year Aug. 20,
Closes Sept. 8.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from tuesdays Iduy.
The dates of the Minnesota state fair
of this year will be August 29Septem-
Der 8. This means, of course, that the
fair will open on the last Monday in
August and close on the first Saturday
in September, giving full week in
which visitors may examine the exhib-
its and enjoy the amusements at the
great show. And the Minnesota state
fair has indeed become great show"
From a comparatively insignificant place
among the state fairs of the country,
it has grown to be more than twice
as large as any other, and is acknowl-
edged freely to be the leader in this sort
of thing, as well as being one of the most
effective forces in the development and
progress of Minnesota and the northwest.
One of the great attractions at this
years fair will be the national live stock
exhibition, in which, as for several years
past, the members of the American Short
horn Breeders association and the Am
erican Hereford Breeders association will
take prominent part. Special prem
iums are offered by these great associa-
tions as well as by the American Aber-
deem Angus association, which with the
offerings of the Minnesota State Agricul-
tural society, make total of about
$4,000 to be distributed to exhibitors in
these three classes alone.
This seems like large amount, but
the Minnesota state fair deals in large
figures. It's total offerings of premiums
and purses this year reach the sum of
$4,000. 1t is enabled to pay these great
premiums through the enormous popu-
larity which brought last year to the fair
nearly 100000 people.
Another big attraction this year will
be the new Manufacturers building now
being completed at cost of $4,000.
Some smaller buildings have been erect
ed during the summer, and practically
every structure on the fair grounds has
been overhauled, reprinted and freshly
rooted
The popular evening entertainments
will be continued and one of Pains
great pyrotechnical productions will be
the center piece. In the afternoons there
will be racing for purses ranging from
1000 to $4,000, and great number of
special attractions will be provided.
One of the best things announced by
the management is the construction of
street railway terminals at the grounds,
which assures visitors pleasing transport
over the electric lines to the city. Half
fare rates have been made on all rail-
roads beginning with Saturday, August
81, and as numerous crowds are sure to
attend, visitors will do well to arrange
to be at the fair in the early part of the
week. The management guarantees that
exhibits will be in complete order by
nine o'clock Monday morning. The pres
ident of the fair this year is c. N. Co.'S
grove of LIE Sueur, while E. w. Randall
continues as secretary.
The fair will be held on the Minnesota
state fair grounds, midway between Min
neapolis and ST. Paul.

SHORTAGE OF 100000.
Wheat Crop Of South Dakota Will be
Way Off

Winona, Aug. 9-The wheat crop of
South Dakota this year will be 7,000,-
600 bushels short of last year, according
to the conservative crop report just is
sued for the territory along the line of
the Northwestern road in Minnesota and
the Dakotas. This report is of particular
interest at this time, as it gives definite
information with regard to the rust
conditions. The report says:
"We have made personal examination
and consulted with the best posted trav-
cling grain men, and we estimate the
damage to wheat only 25 per cent north
of Salem, S. D., and 20 per cent includ-
ing the entire state. The damage is
nearly all to quality and the same per
cent in tonnage. Many fields will not
be harvested; many will be poor quality,
and the tardy wheat will be all right. 1t
is difficult to estimate. We examined
fields badly damaged, the other slightly
damaged. 1t is the same in all locali-
ties. Some reports are coming in much
modified. others more alarming. We con-
slider it serious. The wheat crop in South
Dakota last year was 100000 bushels.
This year we estimate it to be 100000
600 bushels, loss of 100000 bushels,
allowing for small per cent increase in
wheat acreage We have an increase in
oats and barley acreage and tonnage
sufficient to equal last years production
in combined bushels of wheat, barley and
oats in South Dakota
Sunday night, July "a, it rained, and
Monday morning heavy fog hung over
the injured localities. 1t did not rise and
pass away as usual, but the sun forced it
down into the dense wet growth of
wheat, and in some instances the stalk
swelled and burst before rust corroded,
perforated and blighted the wheat. 1t
is, of course, more damaged where the
crop was most promising. 1t was not
excessively warm and it was several days
before the damage was noted.
eve shall follow our investigations
and secure and report further develop
ments, but the territory damaged is
north of including line from Sioux
Falls to Mitchell and line from Nit
chell, Washington, Ipswich and north,
and extends east as far as Kransburg
and Elkton, the greater damage being in
Beadle, Kingsbury, Brown, part of Sphinx
and Codington counties.

night. Technically the Collins and pre-
vious franchises are still in existence,
and the council will probably take steps
to declare them forfeited. This might
be done by clause in the present ordi-
nance, declaring the previous ones, ex-
cept that of Hord & Keator, void. A
special meeting of the council will prob
ably be held this week to pass the
amendments, as many people look upon
these as essential.

IMPOSING RELIGIOUS FUNCTION
TO TAKE PLACE IN NEW
YORK TOMORROW.
First Time That the Ceremony Has
Taken Place in the United
States.

NEW YORK, July 9.-What is eX-
pected to be the most important and
imposing religious function ever held
bv Italian Catholics in America, will
take place tomorrow, when the miroc-
ulous statue of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel in the church of that name, in
East 115th street, will be solemnly
crowned by Archbishop Farley.
1t will be. the first time such a cere-
mony has ever taken place in the Unit
ed States. 1t is of rare occurrence any
where. According to church proce-
dure. to have statue crowned it must
possess antiquity, be the object of ex-
traordinary devotion on the part of the
people and have caused the granting
| of extraordinary temporal or spiritual
| favors. The authorities in Rome haV-
| ing decided that this statue, which is
renowned not only in Little Italy,
but all over the United States, pos
sessed the necessary conditions, Arch
bishop Farley was specially designated
to perform the ceremony.
Owing to the mpossibility of getting
the thousands who will want to wit
ness the ceremony into the church, 1t
has been decided that the function
shall take place in the open air II
