WHY GOVERNOR
IGNORED CITIES
GRAIN MEN COULD NOT UNITE

Friend Of Administration Explains
That on Account of Local Protests

Board to MAKE Good will. In
sist on Alternating Plan

Minneapolis and Duluth grain men
were not given representation on the
new. board of grain appeals, because
neither city was able to unite on
candidate.
This is the explanation of Governor
} Johnson s action in ignoring the cities,
as made by friend Of the administra-
ton in the governor IS absence. "The
governor would have been glad to name

any one III the field acceptable to the
city interests. But the grain men Of
both cities were hopelessly divided. Du-
luth men had two candidates, who split
the strength Of the board Of trade
Several Minneapolis men had petitions

against every ono of them, and some
of the men who signed candidate 8
Some OF the leading grain men told the
governor they had no candidate, and
did not care where the members came
from, so long as they gave good service.
They declared that the old board was a
failure, and its decisions farce, be-
cause wheat graded No. in Minneapo-
lis would be called No. in Duluth, and
vice versa, causing much loss and an
noyance. .-s
"The governor finally decided that
the only thing was to go outside the
cities entirely, and select the best mer
possible. Time will tell whether his
appointments were wise, but it looks
like, strong board. and if it makes
good I know the grain men will be sat

That Mic Eckes, the 0sseo saloon

the victim of a system will be
part of the defense. The town is .di-

families. Eckes and his brother-in-law

improved it, 1t is claimed that he then
induced the tenant of the other store
to mmove to i his end Of town,
and thus created a drawing card for
his saloon business. Naturally the low
er end of town became lncensed. There
are witnesses present who are prepared
to testify to these, statements IT the
evidence will be allowed.
It is further claimed that Roma, in

the very day Of the murder Roma had

Attorney Smith and proved to be keen

of yesterday, telling Of the occurrences
in the saloon preceding the shooting
Under Smith IS close questioning he
made admissions which will prove OF
great value to the state.
Albert Leaders, the next witness, was
obliged to wait for some time while the
attorneys argued a point Of law before
the court. The state objected to the
Introduction of threats before communi

finally stated that he had known botf
parties to the case and was presen
at the time of the shooting
Again the ladies were request
ed to leave the room that thu

actually said. He testified that Ecke

TILTED LOVER A WITNESS
Principal Of the Osseo School Testifies
Against Eckes. -E.&

Disappointed in his suit for the hand
and heart Of Maragret Eckes, the daugh
ter Of Mic Eckes, easily the richest man
in Osseo, J.. J. Manthey, the principal
of the village school is now a witness
for the state against his sweetheart 8
father, who is answering charge Of
murder, for the killing Of Fred Roma.
at any time more than "greatly ad-
mired" the young lady or that the af-
fair had at any time passed to the let
ter-writing stage, he was compelled I'M
der the sharp cross-examination Of Mr..
Hall, for the defense, to admit yester-
day, that he had been a sutton, and that
he had been rejected by the young lady
and her father. Meanwhile the young
woman, a handsome brunette was forced
to hear her ardent lover state that she
had never been anything to him.
Manthey was called by the state to
show that Eckes had threatened to start
shooting as soon as any CROUCH
house - began in his saloon. He testi-
fed that Eckes had said to him, while
they were discussing the rowdyism Of
Roma and his friends, EDO you know
what l will do if they come around my
place? I will shoot the - -.

Under cross examination, Mr.. Man

ing and embarrassing questioning as to
his motives for testifying against
Eckes. The story of his suit for the
han'dof Miss Eckes was drawn out,
but the witness asserted positively that
he harbored no ill-will on account of
the refusal of his suit.
The state then closed it's case, not
however, until Mr.. Kolliner for the de.
tense made demand that the state put

then opened the defense, drawing a
graphic picture of the scene in the sa.
loon preceding the shooting. He pic

Eckes some years before had been held
up and shot. That the bullet hac
lodged near his spine rendering the mar
incapable Of violent exertion, and that
knowing his weakness and fearing q
personal conflict, he had fred the fata

William Jenkins, farmer living neal

RUSIED SEED WILL
MAKE FAIR WHEAT
THE 5o-LB. STUFF COMING ALONG
IN GOOD SHAPE.

Was Sown-General Conditions Fav-
orable, Altho the Crop Is Now a
Trife Behind.
A Minneapolis elevator firm, the Van
company, has just
finished an extended examination of the
weight, rusted seed. The examination
was made by L. D. Marshall, a grain
man Of long experience and formerly
chief inspector at Minneapolis Mr..
Marshall covered a large part of the
territory where the wheat was badly
rusted last season. At each station he
went into fields known to have been
sown with good seed and others with
lightweight wheat. In addition to the
work done by Mr.. Marshall, conditions
were investigated at several stations in
men considered thoroly competent and
a general summary Of the whole is
about as follows:
Not to exceed 10 per cent Of the seed
used was below fifty pounds in weight.
| This is q smaller portion than generally
supposed. There is practically no diff
ference to this date, in the adj
vancement or strength of the plant
grown from the lightweight and the
| good seed. - ..- =
Durum wheat is much farther along
than either fife or blue-stem and APP
pears to be much more vigorous.
There is a territory west and north Of
Aberdeen, S. D., where some Of the
wheat is not as strong as the general
crop appears to be, and in this terri
tory the report discloses that part of
the seed was especially light, testing
forty-fve pounds or under. ... !.
The plant, wherever examined, ap,
pears to be thoroly we'll rooted, althc
most of it has not yet stooled, and we
believe the entire crop is a week or ter
days later than normal All things con
sidered, the wheat crop may be said tt
be in excellent condition.
The spring weather has been unusu
! ally favorable for blowing and break
ing and, as a result, there is every in
dication that very. large crop of fla,
will be sown.

The Minneapolis Railway Clerks wish
the public to understand that their an
nual outing, which has been arranged
for Sunday, June 4, has no connection
whatever with the o-called picnic ad-
vertised by some st. Paul parties for
Saturday, June 8;
ganized and affiliated with the national
Body, and any profit from an enterprise
of this kind goes to relieve the dis
tressed and unemployed, hence their en-
terprise is well worthy Of support--and
to those who want a pleasant day in a
beautiful spot, with all the usual games
and sports, we say go to Tonka Bay
Sunday, June 4, for a good time.
