Asa p. Brooks Also on Stand in MUIR
der Trial.
Mankato, Mimi, July 26.-Dr. Geo.
r. Koch yesterday took the stand in
his own defense at his trial for the
murder Of DR.. l.. A. Gebhardt of New
Ulm, and Asa P. Brooks, the only eye
witness of the crime also was called
by the defense. Their testimony was
largely a repetition of the testimony
they gave in the two former trials.
Mr.. Brooks testified in the morning
and DR.. Koch in the afternoon. The
defendant answered promptly and
with as few words as possible, in a
pleasant, though low voice. The audi
ence listened with close attention and
the jurors seldom withdrew their
glances from his face
Twenty-Five witnesses who testified
for the state at the second trial were
not called at the present trial.

WANTS NO FOREIGN BAND
PARK BOARD MAY EXTEND SEA-
SON FOR LOCAL ORGANIZATION
AT HARRIET.

Lake Harriet will have no out-of-
town band this summer. This was de-
cided by the park board yesterday af-
ternoon. The season for the Minneap-
oils Park band expires Aug. l, but be-
cause there has been so much unfavor-
able weather there were requests to
have the Lake Harriet concerts con-
tinued. Some commissioners thought
that, a band coming from distance
played no better than a home organiza-
ton. The board voted against an out
side band, and referred the matter of
extending the concert season to Aug,
Ii to committee consisting of Com
missioners j. E. Northrup, G. M. Lo-
ring and D: w. Jones. ~.---
The matter Of establishing park at
Camden place was referred to the com

tests against the park were presented
by attorneys, who intimated that the
opposition was ready to carry the fight

Weather Bureau Makes Favorable Re.
port on the Conditions.

port on Inc COnQ1JlOnS.
T. s.. Outram, in his weekly report
on the climate and crops of Minnesota,
today says: ......
There were scattered rains in the Red
River valley counties on the 18th, 18th and
18th, some Of which on the 18th were
heavy; elsewhere dry, sunny weather
prevailed during the week. Severe hail
storms occurred in parts Of Clay county,
with considerable damage to compare
lively small areas. The temperatures
were high in the latter part of the week.
with the maximums considerably above
80 degrees on the 14th, 18th and 10th.
The dry weather has allowed the flood
waters in the rivers and meadows to
subside somewhat, but the bottoms along
the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers are
still under water, and wild grass mea-
dows elsewhere are very wet.
The weather has been favorable for
securing most of the clover hay crop and
a part of the timothy hay in splendid
condition. The high night and day tenn
peratures in the latter part Of the week
have served as fine stimulus to a
rapid growth Of corn, and this has been
aided by better cultivation; in some fields
the corn is coming into tassel.
The small area Of winter wheat is ripe.
Spring wheat Is heading in northern and
central portions, but it is said that the
heading is uneven in places. Oats are
also heading in northern portions, while
in the south early oats are ripening: in
some places there is rank growth Of
straw, with little lodging. Early bar
ley cutting is begun in southern counties.
A great deal of rye Is in shock. A few
correspondents report a little light rust
in wheat and oats. Flax is generally
growing nicely, and the most advanced
has passed out of the blossom stage Po-
tatoes are doing well in most sections,
with a large growth Of vine; new pota-
toes are being marketed. Strawberries
are over, and a good raspberry crop is
coming on.
