creasing in volume, and Lay Moure, the
banner county of this peerless state, is
receiving its full quota of these new
and desirable settlers. Fully 80 per
cent of the land sales in this county
have been to men who have made
farming a science and success in their
former homes. II is this class of farm
ers who increase their own and the
general wealth of a community. And
it is this class of settlers that will
cause the value of all lands to increase
in value as well as in selling price.
In the summer, although the days
are warm, the temperature usually
goes low enough during the night to
make the evenings cool and comforta-
BILE, though not enough to endanger
and retard vegetation. There are no
fogs, no damp, driZzly periods, and no
heavy damp air TO encourage pneu-
monia, diphtheria and kindred ills. Peo-
pie suffering from throat and lung dis
eases have found relief and cure by
locating here.
My advice to the homeSeeker is to
buy ticket over the Northern Pa

and look over La Moure county AMI
you will never return. The land is
just what you are looking for, and you

broken and home made handle. The
hammer hung on the wall near an old
lamp. where the smoke of the lamp blew
against the wall so as to leave n clear
outline when the hammer was removed.
few days after the murder the woman
went again to clean the office and want
ed to use the hammer, but il was gone
and the wall had been cleaned and there
was no longer any trace of the outline.
Whose pencil was it? A few moments
before the murder the defendant was in
Hoidale & Somsen's law office, and while
there from Mr.. Vogel he received pencil
identical with that picked up in the blood
people TO enter the Office saw it there
floating in the blood, with the top part
clean.
The person who went through the
screen must have injured himself, and
DR.. Kochis hands had scratches and
sores on the knuckles. His black craven
nette coat that he wore on the night OF
the murder disappeared. He claims that
il was taken from his Office three weeks
after the murder, but the state will show
that he did not wear it the next day,
he then having on a brown coat.
Blood on Gate Posts
The state will also prove that eight or
ten minutes before 10 o'clock on the
night of the murder some one ran by
Mrs. Dahm's house. which was on the
direct road to the Koch residence, ana
the last house on Second street north be-
fore reaching it. Dahm has for ten or
twelve years been a tenant of Koch's
father. There is a private gate for a
path leading through the premises, and
the Koch family often used ii. The
morning after the murder Mrs. Dahm saw
bloody marks on the posts of the gate,
although there were none there the day
before. Mrs. Dahm had gone to bed on
the night of the murder. and was aroused
few moments before 10 o'clock BY the
barking of her dogs. She heard per-
son running by and got up and set
her dogs on and they pursued the person
as far as the gate. II will be shown that
the defendant burned his hands by some
other means than in the way he claims.
and that ii was done for the purpose of
destroying the evidence contained in his
Sores.
There is usually motive for human
action. and the question naturally arises

or vindictiveness against the defendant,
let him lay 1t aside forever, for the state
is far too great to proceed against one of
Its citizens with malice.

of Nov. 1, 1904, the defendant, with a
premeditated design, killed Louis A. Geb

Hammer and Handkerchief
1t was horrible murder. Who was
IT that did it? Who entertained such
hatred against that splendid young dentist
tha he would rob him of his life? New
Ulm was deeply agitated, and every re-
spectacle man considered that he had but
one duty to perform, and that was TO find
and punish the murderer; Whose was the
hammer that was found? Whose was the
handkerchief? Whose was the pencil? No
one knew. But the heavens above us
have so directed things that when men
commit such offenses they usually leave

guilty parties so that other lives may be

STRAIN IS TOO MUCH
FOR NAN PATTERSON
Alleged Slayer of "Caesar"
Young Nearly CoIlapses
in Court

NEW YORK, April 24.-The third
trial of Nan Patterson, accused of the
murder of Caesar" Young, began in
earnest today before Recorder Golf, in
the court of general sessions. Conf
dent and almost smiling in the pre-
vious ordeals, the former show girl to-
day was on the verge of collapse. She
became faint at the close of the morn
ing session, necessitating a hurried ad-
journment of the court, but had revived
considerably when the afternoon ses-
sion began.
The feature of the days proceedings
was the opening address of Assistant
District Attorney Rand, in which he
outlined what the prosecution intended
to prove. He declared that Young
never carried a pistol and that the
government would prove that the re-
volver that killed Young was bought
by Joseph Morgan Smith, the brother
inlaw of Nan Patterson. Mr.. Rand
announced that he would prove by
sworn evidence that during the year
Young maintained Nan Patterson he
spent $4,000 on her." that Nan Patter-
son and the Smiths entered into the al
legged conspiracy to prevent Young
from leaving this country and to avoid
cutting off their enjoyment of his mon
ey. Young, he contended, acted as one
marked for slaughter from the time he
received the alleged threatening letter
in which, ii is stated, Julia Smith,
Nan Patterson's sister, wrote Young:
Unless you do see Nan l cannot an
swer for the consequences.
Mr. Rand said the prisoners charac-
ter would have an important bearing in
showing the motive for the crime.
Now the Witnesses
The photographer and architect who
had prepared pictures and plans of the
cab in which Young was killed identi-
fed and explained their contributions
to the case, and Policeman William ].
Junior took the stand. 1t was Junior
who ran to the cab in West Broadway
soon after Young was shot and directed
the cab driver to hurry to a hospital
which he had twice told before. When
he stopped the cab the woman was
sitting on the left side and the mans
shoulders were in her lap. He identi-
fed the defendant as the woman in the
cab. Miss Patterson told the witness
that her companion was Caesar"
Young and that he had shot himself.
She told him that just before firing
Young had said to her:
II am going away. You may not see
me for three months and you may new
er see me-"
Junior asked where the revolver was
and the woman replied that she did not
know, He found the weapon a few
minutes later in the right hand pocket
of Young's coat. A revolver was pro-
