RUST SCARE IS DYING OUT.
Samples Of Wheat Ease Minds Of
Grain Men.

Minneapolis, July 26-Wheat rust
reports continued to reach Minneapo-
lis yesterday. but the scare which
prevailed throughout the greater por-
tlon OF last week had subsided over
Sunday and there was a pronounced
reaction in the market. Sample stalks
were received yesterday from near
Glencoe, Gibbon and Dawson, and un-
der expert analysis all showed unmis-
taxable proofs of black rust. Contin-
ued good weather has perhaps contrib
uted more than anything else to ease
the minds of the Minneapolis grain
dealers as to the prospects. Further
investigation of the unfavorable re-
ports of last week has convinced
them that although black rust does un-
doubtedly exist in many sections OF
the Northwest, there is no place
where it has spread to any affirming
extent as yet.

SMASH IN WHEAT PRICE.
Chicago Market Driven Down Cents
and Minneapolis Cents.

Chicago, July 26. The price Of
wheat for September delivery broke
1 3-8@1 1-2c to 3-S@3 1-2c a bushel
on opening trade here yesterday. Ad-
vices indicating that the reports OF
damage by black rust to spring wheat
had been greatly exaggerated, were
chiefly responsible for the vast volume
of selling orders that flooded the
pit. A Chicago expert who is investi-
eating conditions in the Northwest re-
ported that in North Dakota practical
ly no damage had been done
The slump at Minneapolis of sc had
a weakening effect on the market
here.
The close was 81 3-8c for September
and 81 3-4 for December, being loss
of &c from Saturdays close on both
options.
Minneapolis closed at "a 3-4c for
September and 81 1-Sc for December,
against SO 12c and 96c, respectively
on Saturday.

'DR. KOCH'S THIRD TRIAL
IDENTIFIES HAMMER.
Witness Is Positive Hammer That
Slew Gebhardt Hung in Koch's Office.

Mankato, MINI, July 22.-The state
played stronger card yesterday in
the Koch case than it ever has before
Dy introducing testimony to show that
the bloodstained hammer found near
DR.. Gebhardt's body the night of the
murder previously hung upon the wall
OF DR.. Koch's laboratory. This is the
testimony that the prosecution eX-
pected to get in at the second trial.
but failed. Yesterday the witness
without reserve identified the hammer
and greatly strengthened the states
chain OF circumstantial evidence. Mrs.
August Berndt. new witness, said
that while she was picking up kindllng
wood in her lot at about 9:55 on the
night of the murder, she heard some
person run past in the road at high
speed toward the slough that lies be
tween the city and the Koch residence.
Ole Ulen of Hanska testified the same
that he did at the second trial, and
the defense was unable to shake him.
He told of conversation had with the
defendant at his branch Office at
Hanska in June or July, 1903, in which
he alleges DR.. Koch had asked him
whether he could or would kill Geb-
hardt.

In Charles Mix county the dipping
controversy resulted in general row
between the county inspector and cat
tie owners on the question of private
dipping tanks Several stock owners
proceeded to carry out the dipping
order with tanks located on their own
property. which the inspector would
not allow. and finally forcibly took cat
tie from the pastures Of the owners
and drove them about twenty miles to
a county dipping tank and secured the
arrest of the stock owners for refusing
to comply with the law.
The owners secured legal counsel
and will fight the cases. In the mean
removed. Attorney General Hall be-
ing called on for an opinion in regard
to the use of private dipping tanks
rendered an opinion to the following
effect:
After quoting section eight of the
operation of dipping tanks, he says:
This section permits person to own
and operate dipping tank upon max
ing application to the county auditor
and obtaining his registry as above
stated, which also includes the inspec-
ton of such tank previous to it's being
operated as aforesaid Section seven
also provides for the construction of
dipping tanks by counties, the tanks
contemplated by both sect.vns eight
and nine, evidently are public dip
ping tanks. While the statute does
not specially provide for private dip
ping tanks, | can see no good reason
why in the case of a person owning

cattle he cannot construct a tank ap-
proved by the county cattle inspector
or other officer mentioned in section
eight, and dip his own cattle in it un-
der the supervision of the county cat
tie inspector or his deputy without
opening the use of said tank to the
public. In fact the following language
in section eight would indicate that it
is optional with the owner of such
tank whether he should offer it to the
public or not wherein it states: Should
the owner of any such dipping tank
desire to take any and all cattle for
the purpose of dipping he shall so no
tify the county auditor and the said
dipping tank shall become a public
act. etc., for the use Of which fees
may be charged. 1t would be proper
in every case that proper record be
made of each tank constructed SO that
the cattle inspector can make proper
reports, but | can see no good reason
why it should be compulsory on the
owner of a tank properly constructed
under the supervision of the proper
officers to permit the cattle of others
to be dipped in it, or open it to the
public contrary to his desires. or
course if he should see fit to open it
to the public he might not be permit
ted to discriminate between the cattle
that might be received and dipped
there, but if he merely constructs it
for his own use, and constructs it in
the manner pointed out by statute and
dips his cattle under the supervision
of the officers prescribed by law it
would seem that he should have the
privilege of so doing

made, as it is the intention of the
company thoroughly to develop the
property before taking any steps in re-
gard to a mill. A great many other
companies have at different times
sought to tap the extension of the
Homestake company's veins, but so
far this is the first company that has
had actual proof of having encountered
any of the lodes. The rock is identical
with that taken out by the Homestake
company from the Caledonia vein, and
it is said by people who have worked
in the former property tnat the ore
from both places can not be distin-
guished.
The Puritan company will build a
cyanide plant Of 200 tons capacity as
an annex to their Acton stamp mill
Tests have shown that their ore is
admirably adapted to cyaniding, and
grading has begun for the addition
This will add another to the many cy-
anide plants now in successful opera
ton in the Black Hills country, and
will without question put the Puritan
company on a good dividend paying
basis. The plant will be wet cyanide
and will be equipped with modern ma
chinery and all necessary improve
ments.

GREAT STRIKE.
It Has Been Made by Homestake Ex-
tension Company.


The greatest strike of the past
month has been made by the Home
mel on their property in Deadwood
gulch. This property lies along the
strike of the Homestake veins, and at
distance of SOS feet in the tunnel
the Caledonia vein has been encoun-
tered. This is the same lode which is
worked by the Homestake company in
the Open-cut, and at the point where
the Extension company encountered
it, it assays from $3.50 to $12 per ton.
The outcropping of the lode upon the
hill above the tunnel shows a width
of 400 feet and it is not probable that
the width decreases with depth, but
rather an increase is expected. The
Homestake Extension company owns
great deal of valuable property, all of
which is paid for and it is also well
equipped with all necessary machinery
and apparatus. The discovery of this
vein is one that has been looked for
for some time. but the values carried
are even better than was expected
and the lode was encountered sooner
than had been anticipated. The fu
ture of the company is very bright as
there is every reason to believe that
it will be developed into an immense
free milling proposition. So far no
arrangements for mill have been

In a few more weeks the town of
Lyman will cease to exist. It's inhab
itants are already preparing to desert
the town and recently held something
in the nature of farewell celebration.
The reason the town is not already
off the map is because its people do
not know exactly where they are to
go, but it is certain that all, or nearly
all, of them will move their belong
ings to the same place. Nor is the
date of the exodus fixed. In fact, it
all depends on when and where the
nearest town on the new extension of
the Milwaukee road from Chamberlain
is located.
Fate, and the railway surveyors, put
the village of Lyman four or five miles
away from the proposed new line, and
thus sounded the death knell of the
village. In years to come Lyman will
be but a memory, though pleasant
one for those who have lived there.
Time will efface the marks of urbanity
and the map makers will do the rest.
Lyman has not been a failure in any
way but has been flourishing little
burg from the time it was started
until the present day. While no ma
jestic brick and stone skyscrapers
have been erected, a number of small
er frome structures have risen up and
in them merchants have prospered
and grown in step with the growth and
development of the surrounding terri

State introduces Evidence to Show
Koch Got Hammer From Office
Mankato, Mimi, July 23. - Miss
Lena Weiderman, testifying in the
Koch trial yesterday, not only repeat
ed her former statement that from
porch she saw Dr. Koch in his office
between 9 and $50 o'clock the night
of the Gebhardt murder. but also said
he stopped reached out and with his
right hand made a motion as if to put
something in his pocket. The latter
assertion was not made by her at the
second trial The state would show
that Koch placed in his pocket the
hammer that killed Gebhardt.
Unless the state goes into the poison
phase of the case it is likely to rest
to-day. II that is left out the defense
expects to close in three days. lt is
expected that Asa p Brooks will be
put on as soon as the state rests.
Sheriff j. w. julius of New Ulm
gave the state much more help yester
day by his testimony than he did at
either OF the other trials. He proved
to be one of the best witnesses for the
prosecution, although much that he
said in direct testimony was modified
on crOss-examinatiOn. The state was
enabled to get one thing before the
jury that it heretofore has failed to in
troduce, and that was testimony re-
garding a conference held at the law
Office of Hodale & Somsen on the af-
ternoon Of the second day after the
murder.
The sheriff said he was refused per-
mission to see DR.. Koch who was in
consultation in a rear Office with At
torneys SOmsen and Sommerville, Asa
P. Brooks, who saw the murderer over
the transom, DR.. Vogel, +. G. Koch, w.
