DEATH Of A TOWN IS CELEBRATED

of this great county of the Sunshine
state.
To say that the celebration of the
18th was success is putting it mild
ly. 1t was a great success in every
way and the 18th # July, 1905, should
be date to be remembered by the
people of Lyman for long years to
bowery, with singing and speaking and
very able address by States Attorney
Williamson of Oacoma, in which he
put emphasis on the fact that it was
such people as came to Lyman county
to live in small shanties from homes
of luxury in eastern states that had
made our great country what it is
and that would make of Lyman county
one of the finest and richest in the
whole state in the near future.
Besides this program of oratory and
singing there were athletic sports, in
Guiding an interesting ball game and
'everal horse races.
In the evening the crowd was enter
tanned by display of fireworks and
dance in the bowery. 1t was rather
gay and festive celebration on the
death of the old town, but the people
are confident in the whole county
and whatever the name of the new
place to which they expect to remove
they will make it known throughout
the state as town of push and enter
prise, filled with people of which any
town on earth might we'll be proud.

GREAT STRIKE.
1t Has Been Made by Homestake Ex-
tension Company.

tension company.
The greatest strike of the past
month has been made by the Home
stake Extension company in the tun-
mel on their property in Deadwood
gulch. This property lies along the
strike of the Homestake veins, and at
a distance of 565 feet in the tunnel
the Caledonia vein has been encoun-
tered. This is the same lode which is
worked by the Homestake company i'll
the open-cut, and at the point where
the Extension company encountered
it, it assays from $3.50 to SIP per ton.
The outcropping of the lode upon the
hill above the tunnel shows a width
of 400 feet and it is not probable that
the width decreases with depth, but
rather an increase is expected. The
Homestake Extension company owns a
great deal Of valuable property, all OF
which is paid for, and it is also we'll
equipped with all necessary machinery
and apparatus. The discovery of this
vein is one that has been looked for
for some time. but the values carried
are even better than was expected
and the lode was encountered sooner
than had been anticipated. The flu
ture of the company is very bright as
there is every reason to believe that
it will be developed into an immense
free milling proposition. So far no
arrangements for mill have been

made, as it is the intention of the
company thoroughly to develop the
property before taking any steps in re-
gard to a mill. A great many other
companies have at different times
sought to tap the extension of the
Homestake company's veins, but so
far this is the first company that has
had actual proof of having encountered
any of the lodes. The rock is Identical

company from the Caledonia vein, and
it is said by people who have worked
in the former property mat the ore

The Puritan company will build a
cyanide plant Of 200 tons capacity as
an annex to their Acton stamp mill.
Tests have shown that their ore is
admirably adapted to cyaniding, and
grading has begun for the addition.
This will add another to the many cy-

DEFENSE OPENS ITS CASE.
Accuses childs of SURPRISING Evil
dence in Effort to Convict Koch.

Mankato, Mimi, July 25.-After the
to the court that the state had sub
poenaed Asa P. Brooks, but that it did
not intend to use him as a witness.
II the defense desired to have him he
was here in court The court ordered
Mr. Brooks to remain until the de-
Tense had opened it's case to the jury.
Gen. Childs announced that the state
now rested. L. l.. Brown, for the de-
tense, wanted the record changed SO
that he could offer several motions be-
fore the state rested He had not
thought that the state would close so
soon. The court said that the record
would have to stand Mr.. Brown then
presented his motions, and the court
overruled them. Three or four of the
motions were to the effect that the
state be ordered and compelled to call
Mr.. Brooks to the stand and the last
motion was that the court call him at
its discretion. w. D. Abbot opened
the case to the jury for the defense,
speaking more than two hours. He
said the defense expected that the
state would consume a great deal
more time than it had done He said
the defense would proceed as rapidly
j as possible under the circumstances
{ He outlined the evidence the defense
7 intends to present. and among other
things said that the defense would
prove that Gen. Childs had suppressed
( evidence at this trial in order to Sc
cure the conviction of the defendant.
Gen. Childs arose and characterized
! the statement as outrageous. Mr.. Alb
bot asserted that the defense would
prove this statement.

dences OF advancement. The first
bushel of wheat was shipped in 1882,
in fact the first shipment from Mani
toba. merely as a sample, was made
in 1877. In 1904 there were under all
crops, excepting hay, 1875, 900 acres
In the western provinces, producing
17,25o350 bushels of wheat, 1920, $40
bushels of oats, and 2,35O,420 bushels
OF barley, realizing total of about
$1S,500 900 for the farmers.
In Manitoba there were grown in
1904 41,6O0,O00 bushels of wheat and
other farm products in proportion.
The first mile of railway was built in
the country in 1880, and to-day there
are over 5000 miles Of road in opera
ton, and further extensions are going
ahead as fast as men and money can
build them. There are two trunk
lines in the country, the c. P. R. and
the Canadian Northern, with the
Grand Trunk commencing it's trans
continental line. IN addition to these
trunk lines, all systems are extending
branches to all sections where there
are settlements to patponize them.
The grain elevator development is
another assurance Of the wonderful
expansion Of the country, the one
fourth Of the whole area, or about 95,-
100000 acres Of the country traversed
by railways being now fairly supplied
by elevators. In all there are LOIS
of them in the country with a combin-
ed capacity of 27,683,O0O bushels and
erected at a cost Of over $55,OOO,OOO.
In addition to these, elevators at the
head of the lakes have storage capac-
ity of 18.20O.0O0. Fourteen years ago
the entire storage capacity of the
elevators was 1920 bushels. to-day
it is 41,60O0O0 and increasing yearly
from five to te1 million bushels.
What the settlement Of the country
will be in the next ten years may
we'll be imagined from the fact that
last year the immigration was over
133,00U souls.
There are those who believe the
grain-producing area Of the country
must be limited. but results tell

PUT HAMMER IN POCKET.
State Introduces Evidence to Show
Koch Got Hammer From Office.

Mankato. Mimi, July %. - Miss
Lena Weiderman, testifying in the
Koch trial yesterday, not only repeat
ed her former statement that from a
porch she saw DR.. Koch in his Office
between 8 and $50 o'clock the night
OF the Gebhardt murder. but also said
he stopped, reached out and with his
right hand made motion as if to put
something in his pocket. The latter
assertion was not made by her at the
second trial. The state would show
that Koch placed in his pocket the
hammer that killed Gebhardt.
Unless the state goes into the poison
phase of the case it is likely to rest
to-day. If that is left out the defense
expects to close in three days. 1t is
expected that Asa P. Brooks will be
put on as soon as the state rests.
Sheriff j. w. Julius of New Ulm
gave the state much more help yester
day by his testimony than he did at
either of the other trials. He proved
to be one of the best witnesses for the
prosecution, although much that he
said in direct testimony was modified
on cross-examination The state was
enabled to get one thing before the
jury that it heretofore has failed to in
troduce, and that was testimony re-
garding conference held at the law
Office of Hoidale & Somsen on the af-
ternoon of the second day after the
murder.
The sheriff said he was refused per
mission to see DR.. Koch, who was in
consultation in a rear office with At
torneys Somsen and Sommerville, Asa
