EVIDENCE AGAINST KOCH
(from LIST page,)

Two witnesses testified that at
the time Dr. Koch asserts that his
horse took fright at threshing rig,
the doctor did not go through any
trees or willows as had been alleged
in former trials.
DR.. Stricken testified as to the
scratches on Koch S hands, and as
to the demoralized mental condition
of Koch on the Saturday following
the murder, and that Koch had said
that it was his (Koch's) handker-
chief which had been found near
the murdered man, but had de-
clined to ask for the handkerchief
when DIR. Stricken had urged him
to do so, and to try and help clear
up the mystery.

to deal with the trust, using that
term in it's popular meaning, but
curiously enough, in mercilessly
running down the postoffice de-
partment thieves, he incurred the
implacable hostility of some of the
most powerful special interests OF
the country. 1t is useless to say
that those interests will pur-
sue him remorselessly wherever
his ambition may lead him for pub
lie place and honors. His undoing
has had the direct and immediate
effect of causing other men in the
government service at Washington
to avoid undertaking the thankless
work which he performed. .

SANBORN GOT 'EM BOTH.
The Second Game, Fast Exhibition,
Goes to Visitors.

The second game of the San born
Red wood series, pulled of at Lake
view park last Thursday afternoon,
resulted in a score OF 3 to in favor
of Col. McRae's bunch of fast ball
toSserS.
In the first inning Jones, the first
man to bat, got to first on an error
and after many vicissitudes crossed
the home plate by virtue OF pretty
drive by Bradley. That's all-for
Redwood.
After two men we're out in the
Sanborn half of the fourth, Ander-
son limped over to first after being
struck by pitched ball, and strug-
gled home on hits by Dotson and
Gleason and assisted by timely err
rors. Sackriter wrote his name
on the first sack in. the fifth and
was helped to get tally by two
Dagger by Metzler. Two hits and
an error gave them another in the
ninth and the game was won. Each
team had just SO men at bat.
Sharp fielding on both sides was
the feature of the game. Mckay IN
left field accepted four chances
without a skip. There was more
or less rag chewing about doubtful
decisions, but when the boys from
Sanborn found that the umpires did
not need their council, they cut II
out and played the game.

WHY SuPINELY BOWL

THE GAZETTE is at loss to know
just what Gov. Johnson has up his
sleeve whereby he makes the Min
nesota state capitol commission
dance to his music with more than
executive superciliousness.
If the commission has done any
thing wrong and the governor is
using it as club over the members
in order to make them dance to the
executive fiddle he is untrue to the
people of the state. The latter have
a right to know what the governor
knows, if there has been any wrong
doing.
But when the control of the new
and unfinished capitol was left in
the commission S hands for another
two years by the last legislature,
the governor, after conjuring up
all the political capital that could
be manufactured by Private Secre-
tary Day, attended meeting of the
board and told the members what
they must do. His act was a man
date, and the commissioners bowed
with remarkable unanimity. He
dictated the number of positions to
be filed, and then practically die
tated the men who should fill them,
Notwithstanding that the board had
control and that the members had
promised that certain friends Of
legislative members should be tax.

SCRANTON APPLAUDS
FOR NAN PATTERSON
Show Girl Appears as Lead
ing Lady in "a Romance
of Panama"

SCRANTON, Pa, May 29.-Nan Patter-
son headed company under the manage
ment of George II. Harris which presented
"A Romance of Panama" tonight at the
Lyceum Theater, the principal amusement
house CT Scranton. The audience was
neither large" nor representative" al
though it included an average number of
women. Many of those left after the first
act without seeing the Patterson girl, who
appeared only in the second of the two
acts.
"A Romance Of Panama was billed as
a musical comedy, but it proved TO be
nothing more than a burlesque entertain
ment. The play bears startling resem-
blance to one presented at the Star The
ater by transatlantic burlesquers early
in the season.
Nan Patterson looking comely and at
tractive, appeared al about the middle of
the second act and sang several taking
songs. She was applauded. The company
that surrounds her includes Yoande
Wallace Rita Redmond, Nettie Nelson.
Erne Warsaw, Dave Warsaw and Nat
Brown.
