GEORGE LETCAER GUILTY

Guilty OF Arson Committed
Nearly IS Years Ago

Geesge Letcber has finally been con-
yicted OF the crime of alson at Bryan,

received through the Toledo Daily
Blade. The case has been on Trial
since Feb. Is, aud it went to the
jury Thursday Of last week.
The crlme for which Letcher was
convicted occurred at Montpelier.

but it WAS only recently that a con
fesSion of Jack Page. who was con-
nected With the IRE gang, implica-
ted Letcher sufficiently as to cause
his arrest, which was accomplished
in dramatic fashion in California in
December. Jack Pages testimony
was principally the cause for Letcher's
conviction, he stating that Letcller
accompanied him Oh the journey to
Montpelier and was with him the
time the building was fired, and for
which Page was to receive 81, 600.

LIVE CLOSER TO LAW
An Ordnance Before City Council
Eliminating Musical Instru-
ments From Saloons

There is hardly a saloon in town
but what has a musical instrument
or a slot machine of some device, but
1T seems that these are to he elimi-
mated in the future. The city coun-
Gil recently instructed the ordinance
committee to prepare an ordinance
requiring all musical Instruments aud
slot machines of whatever kind or
device to be removed. Several Of the
dealers have some pretty expensive
musical Instruments in their places
and they cannot be disposed of at
OF ce. They have been in use in the
saloons tol several years, ever though
they were a violation to the state
law. which states plainly that there
shall be nothing in the room occu-
pied by a saloon excepting the neces-
sary fixtures, bar. ETC., and nothing
is permitted on the outside of the
counter, so that a musical instru-
nlent, a slot machine or anything
else had no place in there.
One uf the dealers disposed of his
musical instrument on a rattle aud
got his money out of it or nearly so.
The instruments were used for the
purpose OF drawing trade into the
saloon and keeping Il crowd after it
had cot in there. At the next meet.
ing Of the council the ordinance will
be placed on its second reading and
passed aud after its publication it
will oe in full force and effect.

Pure Food.

Was the Stevens Pure Food
bill introduced in the interests
of the manufacturers OF adult
Grated food products, or in the
interests of the consumer OF
food? It could hardly be in the
interests of the consumer, be-
cause they are emirently salts
fed with the present law and the
good results derived from it.
Was it introduced to get rid OF
Ladd? The people do not want
to get rid of man who has so
fearlessly stood by their inter-
ests. Will the proposed COM
mission serve the people better
and more economically than did
Prof. Ladd? No one believe it.
Then, why was the Stevens bill
introduced? Manifestly at the
behest of the very firms that Pro-
lessor Ladd has so thoroughly
defeated in their efforts to foist
their impure, poisonous and
adulterated products upon the
innocent consumer. In the face
of resolutions of confidence in
Prof. Ladd and congratulations
for his splendid work-from all
parts of the state-comes this
proposed law to cover the pure
food question, introduced by R.
N. Stevens. Don't be fooled.
The people are in deadly earnest
on this question and woe betide
the legislator that betrays his
constituency. Let the friends
of the bill, if it has any, explain
it's merits over the present law.
If it is better, show upits strong
points. When a law is accom-
phishing a most righteous pur-
pose, and effectively, to super
cede it with one purporting to
do the same thing is, to say the
least, almighty suspicious. Is
the Stevens bill for or against
the consumer?-Call,

BASKET SOCIAL.

Social.

The basket social given by the
members of the fire department
IN their hall last Friday night
was a great success, a large
crowd being presentand baskets
selling as high as ten dollars, the
boys realizing $104 from the sale.
A short program was rendered

pionship of Grigg county, with
the odds a little in favor of Jake
on account of his chesty build,
but the crowd had not figured on
the muscular young athlete who
soon demonstrated that he could
break his opponent in two if he
so desired, and he soon had Jake
down and out, winning a very
easy victory. On account of the
intense excitement the referee
forgot the time which we are un.
to give.
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1905-02-02

The concensus of opinion is
that Mr.. Bateman should have
won out and if he wishes to in.
stitute a contest, will be ably
assisted to win out. E. B..
Downe is not satisfied with the
decision as he thinks he ought to
have received more votes while
Besuchet admits that he dare
not look in a glass for fear he will
break it. Theo. is so homely
that he has to set up nights and
rest his face. A majority seem
to be satisfied that the verdict is
all right and Mr.. Bateman has
decided not to contest. The vot-
ing contest was only a joke OF
course and created lots of fun.
The social was a grand success
and the boys are we'll pleased.
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1905-02-02

The contest. soon narrowed
down to Bateman and Thompson,
the other two, while homely
enough goodness knows are not
in it with the rea. contestants. It
was q hot contest all through
and Bateman was lavish with
his money to put it onto Thee.
but the biggest joke was that
the money he put up to help
Theo. out was placed on himself
and the only reason he did not
win was because the judges made
a snap decision when Thompson
was ahead.

failed to find out who it was. Light refreshments, informally served, added to the social feature, and all were pleased when Miss Beaseley requested them to call again.
 The ladies' aid meeting of week ago was held at Mrs. Coffin's. If you want to know why the ladies, and the preacher too, were anxious to vote with both hands to have a meeting there again soon. Ask some of them. Shouldn't wonder if those salads, jelly, ice cream and cake had something to do with it.
 Those handkerchiefs that are to be sold at the church next Tuesday afternoon and evening have been coming in fne-all sizes and quail ities. The homemade" candy is going to be first class, and the ten cent tea worth double the amount, and-and-you'll miss it if you are not there.

H!chs-Adams.

News has reached Phoenix of the approaching marriage in San Fran cisco of Miss Katherine Adams of San Francisco, and MT. John H. Hicks, well known cattleman formerly of Tempe, but now of New Mexico and Mexico. The event is to take place in San Francisco on New Years day. Miss Adams, five years ago, was supervisor of the training school work at the Tempe normal school. Since leaving Tempe, Miss Adams has done great deal of literary work, resulting from extensive travelling, also some original in- vestigation in scientific school work that has brought to her the attention of many of the teachers of California. She has great number of friends in Tempe and Phoenix who will be pleased to know that she and MT. Hicks will remain here for a few days on their way to Fl Paso after the wedding. .- Republican.

All the members yf the Tawney party who visited the territories last fall are working hard against joint statehood, and it is believed that the Hamilton bill will be killed in the house by the republican vote alone.
