FLUTE MURDER CASE.
Defence Springs Surprise
on Court.
By Filing Affidavit Showing
Prejudice of Jury-Entire
Jury Quashed.

The Flute murder case was set for
Thursday afternoon. A good share of
the early part of the afternoon was
taken up with another case; about
o'clock the prisoner was brought in and
arraigned. The defense requested that
an interpreter be appointed by the court
in order that their oliant might fully
understand the import of the informa-
ton and questions asked and the court
appointed Harry s. Morris who read
the information in both charges to Flute
in Sioux. Sears g. Potter, Flutes attor.
neys then asked until o'clock Friday
in which to plead and the court granted
this. Flute, with the characteristics of
his race appeared stocial and unmoved
but his long confinement is telling on
him.
AT 8 o'clock Friday morning the pris
oner was arraigned. The defense
demurred to the Indictment, which was
overruled and an exception taken. A
plea of not guilty was entered.
The attorneys for the defence then
sprung a surprise by filing an affidavit
challenging the entire jury that had
beeu summoned TO serve vt this term of
court, on the grounds shown by aft la :.
Wits, that in the drawing of the jury all
the Indian citizens of the county were
excluded from the list of persons eli gil
BILE for jury duty in a county where out
of about 5000 voters there are about 40C
Indian voters and the defence in q
lengthy argument asked that the jury
be quashed. The affidavit set forth that
there is a precedent for such challenge
established by the supreme court of the
United States and which is reported W
Vol lit of the report of that court, in
which it was held in case that went
up from one of the southern states, that
when q negro was on trial for a crime
committed and It was shown that all
negroes had been excluded in the draw
ing of the jury, solely on account Of
their color. that jury so drawn was
not fair and impartial jury within the
meaning Of the state and federal courts.
Motion granted and jury quashed and
case continued over until next term of
court.
This is the first time that this Ques-
ton has been raised in the trial of q
criminal case in this state and the point
is regarded as being very important and
the decision of the courts of the state
upon the question will not only be
regarded with great deal of interest
by the lawyers and judges, but it may
also result in some radical legislation
being attempted as there are great
many counties in the state that have a
considerable Indian population who
are citizens by reason of their holding
allotments of land in severalty .-Sisse.

During 1903 the subscription price of
the Nebraska Farmer has been cut by
the new management of that paper to
80 cents per year. 1t was the idea of
the new management that twelve months
ought to be devoted to pushing the cir
cuIation of their paper at a half price
rate. The first of next January the old
price of 81 per year will be restored.
The Nebraska Farmer has been greatly
changed and improved in all depart
ments during this year and it is the
kind of a farm paper that Nebraska
ought to have and that our readers ought
to subscribe for. Subscriptions at 80
per year will be taken at THE MCCooK

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES.

The books have been re-classified,
sub divided and remembered. The fol-
lowing is the new system used:
600 General Works.
100 Philosophy.
200 Religion.
300 Sociology.
400 Philology.
500 Natural Science.
600 Useful Arts.
700 Fine Arts.
800 Literature.
900 History.
Fiction has no class number, just the
author number and the initial letter of
the title of the book. Juvenile has no
class number but a ] above the author
number. B above the author number
stands for Biography. If a book is
numbered 800 and something you know
it belongs to Literature for the 8 indi-
Gates that, and the rest of the number
is the subdivision, for instance "David
Copperfield" by Charles Dickens is
numbered 1923 D55D"; the 8 shows it
belongs to Literature, and Dickens being
an English novelist the number % shows
it belongs to English Fiction. D stands
for Dickens, 80 is his author number
and D for David Copperfield.
We have received quite a number of
the December magazines, among them
is '"The Readers Guide to Periodical
Literature; this is on the same order as
"Pool's Index" only more up to date,
being published monthly. 1t refers to
sixty-eight (6S) different magazines.
Library hours: Mornings from 1870
