JURORS IN KOCH MURDER CASE
1t is Said That He Wrote an Article
Regarding a Relative Of koch's,
Who Was Said to Have Been a Muir
derer-New Koch Defense.

New Ulm, Min, April 15.-Philip
Liesch, editor of the Brown County
Journal, has been cited to appear be-
fore Judge Cary at Mankato to an
swer a charge of contempt OF court.
1t is alleged that Mr. Liesch wilful-
ly and maliciously published an arti-
Gle in his paper relating to the Koch
family, with intent and purpose of
corrupting the jury and prejudicing
the minds of those who might read
the article SO as to unfit them for jury
service"
against him by the attorneys for DR..
G. r. Koch. The particular article
to which the attorneys take exception
asserted that a cousin of DR.. Koch
was convicted of killing farmer af-
ter a quarrel in northern Minnesota
twenty years ago. The attorneys say
the story was distorted and that the
man who was convicted was not a
cousin of DR.. Koch, but a stepson of
a half-brother of his grandfather.
Several thousand extra copies of
the New Ulm papers were printed on
an order from the Tri-State Telephone
company, and many of the papers
were circulated in Brown and Blue
Earth counties, the remainder being
sent to the headquarters of the com
pany in Minneapolis. Mr.. Liesch de-
MES the charge of DR.. Koch's attorney
and says the large circulation of the
issue in question was due to the busi-
ness transaction with the Tri-State
company.

SOME INDIANS HAVE RIGHTS.
Judge Garland Holds That II is Law
full to Sell Liquor to Them.


Sioux Falls, S. D., April 19.-The
disposition made by Judge Garland,
OF the United States court in this city,
of the case of Charles Campbell, a
miXed-bloOd Indian belonging on the
Rosebud reservation, proves that
Judge Garland does not propose to
take chances in sentencing Indians
charged with selling liquor to their
brethren, or with having liquor on the
reservations, until he has an oppor-
tunity TO read the full text of the re-
cent decision of the United States SUI
preme court, in which it was held that
it was NOT violation of the federal
statutes 10 sell liquor to an Indian
who had taken his allotment of land.
Campbell appeared before Judge
Garland for sentence on an indictment
charging him with having taken liquor
upon the Rosebud reservation. The
defendant had pleaded guilty to the
charge. When he arose to be SEN
fenced Judge Garland inquired if the
defendant had taken his allotment
and when he learned that he had, he
permitted the defendant to change his
plea of guilty to not guilty and con-
tinued the case to future term of
federal court, pending the receipt by
officers of the United States court of
a copy Of the decision rendered by the
federal supreme court.
Although it is understood that the
decision applies only to the sale of
liquor to Indians who have taken their
allotments of land while they are of
the reservations, nothing definite will
be known as to this until copy of
the decision is received, and It doubt
! less was the desire of Judge Garland

PERJURY CASE AT ALBION
Other Cases at Law in Boone-otficer
Assaulted; the Fine Was $40.


Albion Neb, April 20.-Special to
The News: B. A. Baldwin was arrest
ed Monday morning in connection with
the perjury case that is now pending
in the court. The fellows who were
arrested last week because they swore
to conflicting statements claim now
that Mr.. Baldwin was instrumental in
getting them into doing the same, so
County Attorney Spear began action
against him. But in consideration of
the fact that the witnesses are so un.
decided as to what they know and
what they say it is hard 70 tell where
the guilty are and are not.
S. V. Parrott has been having con-
siderable trouble of late as an "Offi.
Ger of the law" He has made several
arrests and been successful in land
ing his men but one evening this week
he started to arrest VIM. Buchanan
for some violation of the law but Bu-
chanan couldn't see it that way and
hit the officer. He then went and
pleaded guilty of assault and was fined
$40 by Police Judge Gooch.

IS A F|REBUG FOR SURE
ALL DOUBT AS TO EXISTENCE OF
INcENDIARY FADES AWAY.
ANOTHER SALOON SET AFlRE
r. J. Harder is Again the Victim Of
Flame, Though the Fire Last Night
Did No Damage-Fuse Lighted un-
der a Box at Rear Of Saloon.

Any doubt as to the existence of an
incendiary in Norfolk was dispelled
this morning when II was discovered
that another fire had been started at
the rear Of the Fred Harder saloon,
that fuse had been the cause of the
blaze and that the plot for destroying
the structure was well and carefully
laid. Because of the fact that the
wood Of which the building was com
posed was green, the saloon having
been but recently built. the fire Sc
cured but little start, burned deep
hole in the wall, charred a larger area
and then died down.
The fire was the eighth started with
in the last few days, all of which have
been mysterious. 1t had been sus-
pected strongly that the work was
that of tirebug, but no proof positive
had been found. The finding of the
charred hole today, which was COW
cred by a box so that the wind could
not interfere at the start, caused all
question as to the existence of an in
cendiary to fade away.
When Scott Holbrook began to chip
ice this morning. before sunrise, he
found the smoke inside the box that
was used for the process. He at first
thought he had the wrong box, and
threw it away. Looking for another
box outside the door, he found the
little black hole in the wall, with the
burned lines along the platform below,
showing where the fuse had been
stretched. The care with which the
fuse was set, and the fine work of
laying the lines, indicates that it is
no amateur who had done the work.
After Saloons and Drug Stores.
The firebug is apparently after sa-
looms and drug stores. The Krug sa-
loon and RESTRAINT burned, and the sa-
loon in which Harder is now located,
and which was started burning by last
nights fire, was destroyed one Sat
urday night; the Peerless restaurant
and the adjoining HaSenpf1ug saloon
were set; a flame was started behind
the Trocadero; and the George B.
Christoph drug store was set. Barns
which were set are thought by some
to have been done so as blind.
Norfolk business men are becoming
more and more alarmed at the I'M
checked work of the frebug, as there
is never any indication as to who may
be the next victim. 1t has been sug-
gested that a reward be offered by
the city council, to be equalled by an
other from the insurance people.
Just inside the building, at the spot
burned, were number of whisky
barrels, which would have burned
quickly.

Pierce, Neb., April 10. - From
staff correspondent: Pierce is one OF
the best towns in the northern part
of the state. II is not as large as
some but what II lacks in size 1t
makes up In beauty and permanency.
It's business houses are all modern,
and bear every evidence OF growth
and prosperity. The town has some
Of the finest residences in this part OF
the state, many Of them being fully
the equal Of anything in Norfolk. One
thing the people Of Pierce are not
sparing with and that is paint. Ev-
cry building and every fence Is at
tractively painted, and with well kept
lawns and good sidewalks, II is an
ideal town. There is a good system
Of city waterworks besides n number
Of private plants operated by wind
mills. The sidewalks are pride TO
the people OF the town. Fully half of
them now are constructed OF cement
or vitrified brick-no common soft
brick are allowed-and the council
has recently passed an ordinance con-
demning every board walk in town
and ordering 1t replaced with cement
of brick. Pierce has had some dam
age suits growing ont Of people fall
ing upon the board walks and there

city, in which $4,000 damages are
claimed. The people wisely conclud-
ed that there should be no more fool
ishness along that line, and perma-
nent walks have been ordered all over
| town.
The new electric light plant is a
| dandy. 1t commenced operations
March and already is running as
| smoothly as an old plant. II is
equipped with a 60-horse power Web
er gas engine, supplied with a gas
producer. Through the process gas
is generated from very small hard
coal, and the engine runs as smoothly
as steam engine. Gas is supplied at
but a fraction of the cost of gasoline,
and 1t Is proving satisfactory in every
way. The streets are well lighted in
the residence part of town as well as
in the business portion.
Pierce is the county seat Of Pierce
house, which stands as a monument
to the enterprise and progressiveness
of the people Of the county.

and startling experience. All his life, strange as 1t may seem, Sam had been a dreamer of the better sort, the kind of dreamer that sees things with the
 eyes closed, or in the deep stiffness of
 the night, and then tries with all his strength to realize those dreams with
 the eyes open, and in the light of day.
 From puddler In the steel mills Sam had worked his way slowly outward, studying the science of metals, and digging after the finer threads of force
 that he instinctively felt lay behind
 the ever gradual enrichment of nature in material forms.
 One day in an old book store he had picked up a treatise on the law of vibration (not of the Keeley sorD, and while he saw 1t was crude and wild in
 many of its features. he recognized the i truth that lay behind the fanciful SUD- positions of the author. From this hint he read and studied much until he had convinced himself that a gen eral law of vibration was in operation throughout the universe. few ex- periments with musical instruments, lights and emotions, seemed to demon-
 strate the theory. Here then was the pathway that led out through space
 whithersoever man might care to trav-
 el, if he could lay hold of the law that
 governed 1t and master that law.
 An, to be a great discoverer! To
 open to the world a new door of in
 gress and egress! To stand in the eye
 of mankind as a discoverer. a prophet,
 seer! That was something to lay at
 the feet of the girl he loved. And she
 was worthy of the best that was in
 him. What were millions of wealth
 to such an honor? When he could
 lay such treasures at her feet he
 should not fear for the result Sam
 believed in Mlicent as every young
 man should believe in the girl he wish
 es to make his wife. He founded his
 faith in her goodness, and her prac-
 tical common sense. Like all girls, he argued, she liked to think of ease and
 luxury. Like a dutiful daughter she
 would try to convince herself that duty to her father and mother was more im- portant than her own happiness. But she was not one to decide in a hurry and the discovery would make things even.
 These and like thoughts crowded through Sam Daily's mind on the Christmas Eve as he sat in his little experimental workship at the top of his boarding house. Ah! If only he could find the one strand for which he had been searching, then the way | would be smooth and easy for, them

Now he walked about the room extemporizing as was his wont when working on some difficult prob lem. Deep and slow the tones came from the instrument, each note seem- ing to bear within Itself a questioning life, and to fly away like the dove from the ark. searching for answer. The player and the instrument became as one. It was the voice of the mans soul that filled the room. the prayer of his whole being for the secret that would make his invention practical.
 It happened that his late employer in years of prosperity had presented to him on one Christmas Day a handsome bronze lamp as a mark of appreciation for faithful services. It was made in Belgium, and was one of that kind which has central as well as exterior draft, and is not only brilliant but sen sitive, the blaze assuming a globe-like form. Sam always used this light in his room in preference to any other.
 Suddenly he noticed that the room was growing darker and looking at his lamp saw the flame tremblingly reced- ing, shrinking into itself, as it were. He stopped playing and the notes of

His fingers had not left the strings and the full~soft note at which he had left off was repeated. The tremulous cadence of 1t fioated out up- on the air, and to Sam's astonishment the light again trembled, shrunk with in itself and grew dim.
 Was his prayer about to be answer ed? The mans eyes grew dim and his brain went dizzy with the revelation that swept up out of his soul. He stood motionless, and let the bow rest. The light grew bright again. He drew the bow across the strings. Here was no change. Fool-he had deceived him self. But the motion changed the po- sition of his fingers on the strings and the note of the instrument swelled out deep clear and full And Sam saw the flames responding, falling. trem- bling, and diniming as before.
 He was cool now, intensely quiet. Alone in the world he stood with new key to Natures mystery in his hand.
