LA INQUIRE

The county seat of La Moure coun-
ty, is a thrifty town of about 500 pop
ulation, located on the beautiful James
river and at the junction of the Fargo
Southwestern and James River and
Oakes branches of the Northern Pacific
railway. The town was first settled in
1882, and was incorporated in 1888. 1t
has never had a boom. AT present it
is growing rapidly because of the many
new settlers buying the vacant lands
and improving them. Its location is
ideal. the land gradually sloping from
the foot of the hills to the banks of
the river, affording perfect natural
drainage, and, therefore, healthfulness.
The town is located in the midst of one
of the finest agricultural and dairying
sections in the northwest, and is, there
fore bound to grow largely in the next
few years. The town was nearly wiped
out a few years ago by fire and the new
buildings give a general appearance of
prosperity and modern ideas.
The people Of La Moure are hustlers,
and bound to put their town to the
front. Nothing undertaken by them
is ever sighted. All the usual busi-
ness and professional lines are repre-
sented, including a bank, an ably con-
Quoted newspaper, a creamery, three
grain elevators, good hotels, a fine
steam flour mill, 200 barrel capacity.
several brick blocks and a number of
beautiful dwellings. There is an ex-
cellent public school, Catholic, Metho-
dist, Presbyterian and Lutheran
churches. societies of Masons, Eastern
Star, Odd Fellows, Workmen, Degree
of Honor, Woodmen, Royal Neighbors
and Yeomen.
Altogether La Moure has as bright
prospects for a prosperous future as
any town in the state. A flax fiber
mill and a woolen mill would find this
an excellent place TO locate.
The business men of the town are al
ways pulling for their town, and in do

1t was $50 o'clock when the last
Juror was selected, and ten minutes
later Gen. H. w. Childs began the
states opening address to the jury. He
spoke for nearly an hour and a half,
and the big audience of 400 people that
occupied ever seat in the spacious
court room listened with breathless in
terest to the case that the state prom
lsed to make against the young de-
fendant Gen. Childs' address was at
times dramatic, but for the most part
consisted of narration of the evidence
that different witnesses would give in
the case, and the weaving of them all
together in mesh of testimony that
the state hopes will cause the jury to
return verdict of guilty. Gen Childs
said:
Why is it that almost five days have
been consumed in the selection of jury
to try this case? 1t was because of the
issue-an issue that involves human life.
What sparkling gems or bank account
is there that is so precious as to be weigh
ed III the balance with a human life

Yesterday a story was circulated that
a farmer living near MankatO stated to
a resident of this city that on the night

was near the scene of the crime. He

slide to the ground. This man he thinks
was the murderer of DR.. Gebhard. The
farmer told his story to a resident of
Mankato who later told County Attor-
ney Wilson. 1t is not likely, however.
that the farmer will be called to the
witness stand. as it is not thought that
he can throw any light on who the per-
son was that he saw. 1t seems strange
that at this late day the farmer should
come forward with his sensational tale.

duced in court and Junior identified it.
Junior said that on the way to the
hospital Miss Patterson was wringing
her hands and saying:
Caesar! Caesar! what have you
done?"
When they reached the hospital and
the doctors pronounced Young dead she
threw herself on the body. Junior said
he had left Miss Patterson in the cab
when he and others took the body into
the hospital, but she followed them and
came into the operating room a few
minutes later. She tainted while in the
hospital She was then given into the
custody of another officer and taken to
the police station a prisoner.
Going back to the time when his at
tention first was called to the cab on
West Broadway, Junior said that as
the cab approached him Miss Patter-
son was sitting perfectly still. Her
face was white, her eyes We're filled
with tears and she apparently was
frightened. The witness detailed
Young's position when he entered the
hanson, Junior representing Young
and a court officer the defendant.
Junior said Young had his left arm
just behind Miss Patterson and al
though the upper part Of the body was
resting in her lap, the face was turned
toward the door Of the cab. His right
arm dangled down in front of the de-
fendant

Policeman ReteIis Story
Policeman Edmund ]. Quinn, who
took Miss Patterson from the hospital
to the police station, followed Junior
on the stand. When he referred to J.
Morgan Smith in his testimony the
Smiths were brought in that Quinn
might have an opportunity to identify
them, which he did.
Quinn said Miss Patterson was in a
state of hysteria during the trip to the
station. but she became composed
when the station was reached. She
had been there only a few minutes
when Smith came in. He went over to
Miss Patterson, shook her hand and
sat down beside her. When she told
him that Young was dead he changed
color and gasped.
The witness said that on the trip
from the hospital Miss Patterson told
him that she had nothing to live for
now that Young was dead and begged
him to kill her with his club. She told
him that Young had no reason to kill
hmself-that he had everything TO
live for.
After several other police officers
testified regarding happenings in the
police station soon after Miss Patter-

FIRE PROOF HOMES CHEAPEST.

| An architectural journal quotes bids
dence to be erected in Pittsburg and
draws the conclusion that 1ireproof
country homes are soon to succeed
frame buildings. The bids referred to
We're $4,000 for fireproof building
and $4,000 for frame construction. An
other instance is quoted where the bids
for tlreproof and frame buildings
stood respectively $500 and $500.
These figures are for eastern cities.
The architectural paper is authority
for the statement that the cost of
country dwellings ranges from to 8
per cent cheaper and argues that fire
proof buildings will, from their COM
paratiye cheapness OF construction
and advantages of sanitation and fire
protection, soon replace the frame
building.
Minneapolis and ST. Paul are the
homes of the lumber business in the
northwest, and comment coming from
these cities upon facts bearing on the
lumber industry is therefore doubly in
teresting. On the subject of frame and
fireproof construction, the Pioneer
Press said recently:
For all over the country the margin
between f1reproof materials s.nd lum-
Der is narrowing with some rapidity,
and, as has been shown, has already
disappeared or is on the point of dis
appearing, in certain sections. AT
points distant from any source of lum-'
Der supply, and nearer centers of steel
manufacture, lumber is naturally high
err, and fireproof1ng, or at least mill
construction, naturally lower than in
Minnesota. Yet, even here, careful
estimates on the proposed i. j. Hill
school showed a margin of only about
IL per cent between re-enforced con-
crete construction and ordinary brick
and frame construction. In ordinary
residences q difference running from
II to Is per cent, averaging about 10
per cent, remains between the cost of
a brick.and-frame building and re-
enforced concrete building.
But the price Of lumber while now
faily stable, is almost certain to ad-
vance again as it has advanced in the
last ten years. Fifteen years is set
down as the limit of the minnesota
timber supply at the present rate of
numbering, and even before that time
we shall have to secure part Of our
supply of even ordinary grfdes from
much more distant points. But as lum-
Der has advanced the general tenden-
CIV Of steel has been downward, Port
land cement has been becoming cheap
err and cheaper, and brick tile, and
other artificial fireproof building ma
terial has likewise steadily declined
with the improvement in processes and
the introduction of other economies
possible with an enlarged production.
at is, therefore safe to say that
before long the extensive use of wood
in buildings, except for floors, doors.
and interior inishings, will become a
thing Of the past. The desirability of

answer would be mot unless the uni

furnished him. The partisan press OPP
posed politically to Mr.. Wilson has

against Secretary Wilson has been
that designing scoundrels took advan-
