DON'T WANT cANUck SEED.

to Importing Seed Wheat.

North Dakota and Minnesota Opposed
to Importing Seed Wheat.
Washington, Jan. 28.-Representa-
tive Tawney says he understands that
protests have come from various
parts of North Dakota and Minnesota
against the proposal to import Can
adam seed wheat free of duty. The
North Dakota delegation is likely to
oppose such legislation and so is Rep
resentative Stevenson of Minnesota,
who has word from his district that
farmers there have plenty of home
grown seed and do not desire to i'm
port. This being the case, Tawney is
not disposed to press the matter be-
fore the ways and means committee
next Wednesday. However, should
Stevenson introduce a resolution ad-
dressed to the committee asking for
action, he may take the case up. But
at present he thinks the outlook for
such legislation is not good.

FREEDOM az FURNISHING
A HEAVY BOND.
SECOND TRIAL OF FAMOUS MUIR.
DER CASE WILL BEGIN At
MANkATo FEs.7.

New Ulm., Mimi, Jan. 28.-The al
legged slayer of DIR. L. A. Gerhard is
out on bail. DR.. G. R. Koch, who has
been confined in the Brown county
Jail since Dec. 9, 1904, was released
Friday afternoon, being admitted to
bail in the sum of $4,000. The new
trial will take place at Mankato, begin
ming Feb. Z.
The arguments were heard by Judge
Weber Friday afternoon and over an
hour was consumed by Attorney L. L.
Brown and General H. w. Childs. DR..
Koch was in the courtroom, attended
by deputy sheriff and Attorneys
Brown, Somerville and Abbott.
Attorney Brown presented an af1-
davit signed by Drs. Fritsche, Scoch
and Weiser stating that the defendant
was greatly emaciated because of his
Incarceration and had become frail of
body and that his health was greatly
impaired as he had been accustomed
to exercise and the close confinement
had wrought great bodily injury. He
laid particular stress on the disagree
ment of the jury, and said it had been
the custom under similar conditions
to grant ball by courts in other states.
State Objected to Granting Bail.
General H. W. Childs, for the state.
objected to the granting of bail. He
said that criminal intent was especial
" strong III this case and there was
an abundance of evidence which Great
ed strong presumption of guilt. Mr..
Childs rehearsed all the chief evidence
against DIR. Koch.
Judge Weber stated that he had
looked up numerous authorities and
that most cases cited by the defense
did not apply to this case, but that in
view of the fact that DR.. Koch did not
attempt to escape after the murder he
felt perfectly safe in granting bail
General Childs and Attorney Albert
Pfaender stipulated that bail bond in
the sum of $4,000 be furnished, to
which Attorney Brown, for the de-
tense, agreed and the bond was imme-
diately drawn up, the sureties being
DR.. L. A. Fritsche, DR.. ]. L. Schoch,
w. e. Koch, e. G. Koch, Jacob Kloss-
ner, Jr. and Charles Wagner. Dr.
Koch left the Jail shortly after S
o'clock.
The state then asked for a change
OF venue and preferred Watonwan
county, which is in Judge Lorin Cray's
district. Judge Weber said that
Judge Cray would rather try the case
at Mankato and it will therefore come
up at the TEXT term of the district
court, which will be held at Mankato,
Feb. Z. The defense was more favor
ably impr essed with Blue Earth coun-
ty, as DR.. Koch has some relatives
there.
