tied across the border north. Here
they bought horses, implements,
ETC., paying little down and put
ting plasters thereon for the rest.
Then they suddenly took dislike
to the Canuck climate, and crossed
the boundary, not forgetting to
bring along the aforesaid chattels.
But our Canadian friends could not

dispatched one of his majesty's

fuses to come in and mingle, and
all the efforts of the officials to To-
cate him have thus far been futile.

Attorney Generals Opinion
on the Drawback System
Pleases the Flour Men
BENEFIT MINNEAPOLIS MILLS
Attorney General Expresses Opinion,
However, That Ample Evidence of
the Amount of Wheat Imported Must
be acknowledgements of the De-
cision.

| Washington, Feb 3.--Attorney Cen
Shaw his decision as to mixing i'm
ported with domestic wheat for flour
Shaw drawback system, as reported in
these dispatches Thursday. Mr..
Moody holds that the treasury depart
ment is amply justified in this extern
sion of the drawback privilege, and
authorizes it to go ahead and permit
the millers to grind mixed wheat I'M
der suitable regulations. which, by the
way. Secretary Shaw has already pre-
pared.
UphoIds Griggs' View.
Mr. Moody reviews the opinions OF
Attorney General Olney under the
Cleveland administration, disapprov-
ing of this drawback, and the later
opinion of Attorney General Riggs re-
vising it, and notes that the Griggs
opinion was prepared with the In
dorsement of President Mckinley, who
personally drafted the drawback sec
ton incorporated under the Dingley
law, and was careful in that drafting
to protect the republican tariff doc
trine. He quotes from a speech made
by Mckinley in congress on the draw
back question and then says that he
,, feels he must affirm the Griggs opln-
ion and not reverse 1T and go back to
the old opinion of Olney.
Victory For MiIIers.
This decision is a sweeping victory
for the Minneapolis millers. In the
closing paragraph, Mr.. Moody says:
II do not wish to be understood as
expressing the opinion that the evil
dence of the books of account OF the
manufacturers is alone sufticlent,
without the aid of other evidence, to
establish the rights of the manufact-
,1rers to the drawback. / express no
oninion upon that subject, as the ma
ture of the evidence disclosed by
them is not before me. The amount
and character of the evidence which
should be required by you is within
YOUR administrative discretion.
ut is to be presumed that. having
in view the dangers Of mistake or
substitution of material, such regula-
tions will be framed as will require
clear proof of the identity and guam
tity of the imported material actually
present in the completed article OTTER
ed for export. Under the conditions
which / have stated, the manufactlr-
err. in my opinion, is entitled TO the
dra wback allowed by section 30, of the
tariff act of July "a, 1897, and ! SO
advise you"

CLIFFORD ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
Killed His Neishbor in Quarrel Over
Lot Line.

DEBORAH, Feb yesterday Judge
Hobson convened the Winneshiek
county district court, and took UP the
trial of the Clifford murder case. On
the 5th of November last, I. /. Clifford,
a, professor in the Valdez Business
College and normal school, murdered
his neighbour II. A. Bigelow, in a quar-
rel over the lot line. Professor Gift
lots adjoining the property of the vic
tim, H. A. Bigelow. During the morn
ing the two became involved in con-
troversy over the property, which soon
led to harsh words. Several witnesses
are said to have seen Professor Clifford
raise club in the act Of striking, and
to have heard Mr.. Bigelow say: Take
care! Take care!" The two separated
for a time, but about noon met again,
and renewed the quarrel. In tit of
intense anger Mr.. Clifford struck Mr..
Bigelow terrific blow on the head
with three pronged potato digger,
from the effects Of which Mr.. Bigelow
never regained consciousness. Mr..
Clifford then dragged the unconscious
body across the lot line onto his own
land, called assistance for the injur-
ed man and resumed work as tho
nothing had happened. When called
upon to assist in taking the victim into
his house, MIR. Clifford refused, saying
that Bgelow had ordered him to keep
away from his property.
For several years prior to this time,
Mr.. Clifford had been a professor in the
Valdez Business College and normal
school of this city and had met with
his classes as usual the day before. He
had hitherto borne an excellent repu-
tation in the community. Because of
this fact many refuse to believe in a
cold blooded murder, and say that he
must have been insane. Insanity in the
family tends to strengthen this view,
and it is understood that the defense
will work along that line.
Since his arrest Mr.. Clifford has act
ed strangely, and there is much specu-
lation among the people who have fol-
lowed his actions as to whether they
are assumed or genuine. The defend
ant for a number of years has been
a member of the Methodist church of
this city, and superintendent OF the
Sunday school, The Sunday after the
crime, and while out on bail, he ex-
pressed a desire W pei lpl III iliS ouIACo
as superintendent as usual, but was not
permitted to do so. He still insists
that he has done no wrong, and de-
clares that he will be able to justify
his action At times he declares that
he would rather be hung than become
insane like his father and grandfather
The trial of this case, which will I'M
doubtedly be closely followed by many,
will be stubbornly fought on both sides
An array of prominent attorneys have
been employed in the case. A. ID. Gray
the we'll known criminal lawyer of
Preston, Mimi, and E. r. Acres, a local
attorney will appear for the defense.
John B. Kaye, the poet attorney and
author of "Vashte," of Calmar, Ia, and
Frank Sayee of DEBORAH have been en-
ployed by the board of supervisors to
assist County Attorney Strand IN the
prosecution. 1t is rumored that Attor-
| new Brown. who was connected with
| the New Ulm murder trial, will assist
| the defense.

CATTLE ABOUT STEADY
There Was a Small Supply, But
About Sufficient For the
Friday Demand
PRICES NOT MUCH CHANGED
Hogs Were Active at Thursdays Prices
Bulk of Sales Being at 40 to 4.8o-
Sheep Were Steady With Prices
Higher in some lnstances-The Mar
ket Quotations.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Cattle-FThe market
was as good as is usually witnessed on
Friday. The small supply was suffi-
cient, although more fat cattle could
have been sold. Prices were about
steady.
Supplies of plain little steers and the
roughish medium class are constantly
in excess of the demands of the trade,
but supply and demand were better
balanced yesterday than any time this
week This was due no doubt to the
fact that fully half the run of stock
due here was still back on delayed
trains at the noon hour. This stock
was coming in slowly around noon,
and it was thought doubtful that all
would land here in time to find outlet,
but such cattle as had landed here in
season were taken at steady prices.
Hogs.
Hogs We're active at unchanged
prices. Bulk of sales We're $4.7O "a
ASS.
Owing to the severity of the weather
trains were late in getting in and a
great deal of stock did not arrive in
time for the days market There is a
good demand on eastern shipping ac-
count, but is all so very seriously ham
pered by the storms and scarcity of
cars.
According to Price Current, 6S5,aOO
hogs We're killed at western points
during the past week. against 100000
during the corresponding week of 1904.
Since November l last packing at these
points shows an increase OF $4,000
compared with last year.

journey on foot, of course, for as they
go they take down an old line of wire
whose efficiency has been exhausted,
and on their return they will string a
new line that will take it's place. A
handcar enables them to get from the
scene of their work when nightfall
overtakes them, to the nearest town.
Expert workmen are required for this
service, as the old line must be taken
down and the new one put up without
contact with the other lines on the
poles, disorganizing the service on the
other lines.
