lNNocENTs HELD EIGHT WEEKS

Two Boys Aged Twelve and Fourteen
Confined Two Months In Jail on
Charge Of Which They are Innocent.
Minot Optic: After being confined
in the Ward county Jail for the past
eight weeks upon the charge of burg.
larry which WAS later changed to petty
larceny, Herbert Hoffman and Frank
Hoffman, aged twelve and fourteen
years respectively, were discharged
from custody on Saturday afternoon by
Judge Goss, before whom the hearing
was held. The Hoffman lads reside at
Bowbells and were arrested about two
months ago upon the charge of rob-
bling cash drawer in drug store at
Bowbells. The young boys were
brought to this city, where they have
been confined since that time in the
county jail, their hearing having been
postponed from time to time. The
evidence brought out at the hearing
showed that the boys were entirely
innocent, and that the real perpetra-
tors of the crime were different parties
entirely. The lads are bright, and IN
.telligent looking, and It seems rather
hard that they should have been forced
to mfngle for two months with hard
ened criminals. States Attorney Nc
Gee stated. after the hearing, that he
was glad the boys had proved their
innocence. The firm Of Palda & Burke
appeared in behalf of the defendants.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

The supreme court has handed down
a decision in the case of L. A. Couch,
appellant, against the State of North
Dakota and M. M. Weeks and Robert
the supreme coure reverses the lower
court and orders the case back for a
new trial
This action was brought by Couch,
fered by the governor of the state for
the payment of reward Of $500, Of
fered by the governor of the state for
the capture of Joseph Smith, alias
Jacob Bassennena, who was held for
murder and escaped from the Mclean
county Jail. Couch claimed to have
furnished the information through
which Smith was captured and claimed
the entire reward. Cotton who was a
deputy sheriff of Mclean county and
Weeks, who was the lieutenant in the
U. s. army by whom Smith was actu-
ally placed under arrest, each put in a
claim for the reward. The court be-
low found that both Couch and Cotton
had furnished information leading to
the arrest and that Weeks had placed
Smith under arrest and that each was
entitled to third of the reward.
In its syllabus of the case the court
says:
hn
$500, Revised Codes, by chapter POI,
laws Of 1903, actions which are proper
ly tTiable by jury are no longer tri-
able in the district court or renewable
upon appeal under that section.
"2. An action to recover a reward
is an action at law triable to a jury.
Such an action is not changed to one
OF equitable cognizance by the fact
that other claimants have been permit
ted to intervene under section $3.50,
Revised Codes, and assert their claims
to the same reward. The rule Is other
wise when defendant against whom
there are other claimants for the same
debt interpleads such claimants and
secures his own discharge and pays
the money into court pursuant to Sec
ton $40, Revised Codes.
"3. To entitle one to recover a re-
ward, he must show rendition of the
services required in the offer after
knowledge of and with q view of OBJ
tanning the reward.
"a. The state offered a reward of
three hundred dollars for the arrest
or information leading to arrest of one
James Smith who escaped from Jail
where he was held upon charge of
murder. There were three claimants
for the reward. The trial Judge rem
dered judgment in favor Of each for
s10O. Each claimant alleged in his
complaint that he relied upon the offer
OF reward, which allegation was denied
by the states answer. The findings
are silent upon this issue. Held, that
the findings do not support the judg-
ment.
Appeal from the district court of
Burleigh county; W. H. Winchester,
judge.
Newton & Dullap, for appellants.
A. T. Patterson, F. H. Register and
J. F. Philbrick, for respondents.

IRON SALES NOT
 LARGE JUST NOW
NOTHING SENSATIONAL NOTED IN THE PIG IRON MARKET THIS WEEk-sITUATIoN IS MARKED BY SOME pELlBERATioN.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report of yesterdays date says;
 Apart from proof of continued satis- factory conditions there Is little of strik- ing importance during the week past. Ihe steel corporation purchased round lot of Bessemer, and it is understood there IS still some tonnage pending.
 "Production continues on large scale. and in the south a greater percentage of iron is being consumed locally than ever before. A serious shortage has been mani fest in Ferro-Manganees and a domestic producer purchased heavily.
 'There is complete absence of any thing sensational and both production and consumption appear to be proceeding with carefully observed relation to one another, which is most assuring.
 .sThe local situation Is marked by con siderable deliberation on the part of buy CTS and the transactions have not been of large size. Sales for delivery during the third and fourth quarters have been made, but the business for early de- livery still keeps coming in. The west seems to be taking second place in the matter of buying as much better ton- mage was booked with eastern buyers.
 Coke from all districts is moving more freely, but there is considerable short age in car supply at some points"
 From Matthew Addy & Co.'S report the following extract is taken:
 There Is of course great diversity of t.. a f,,f nf tha market. The strength of the market has been abundantly demonstrated by the steadiness of prices during the first quar- ter of the year. In spite of this fact there are some who believe that because pro- dduction is on so large a scale it will be impossible for present prices to be main- tained during the last half. The best posted men in the business, men who have made a careful study of statistics, and who are closely in touch with the trade in all its branches are unanimously of the opinion that the country is not only consuming at the present time all the iron that is being made. but that be- fore the summer is over consumption will have decidedly increased and that a shortage of pig iron may be expected. For the past five decades consumption of pig iron has doubled in each decade in America, It is self-evident fact that the country is exceedingly prosperous and that the per capita consumption of pig iron is increasing. The great extension of trolley roads is an addition to the pre- vious uses of iron, and has necessarily increased the per capita use of iron in the United States. If the old proportion is to hold good during the first decade of the twentieth century we should in 1910 be making and using twice the amount of iron we made and used in 1900. So the present production of pig iron is not ahead of where it should naturally be &C., cording to statistics. Taking this large and general view of the matter the men wno point to the country's production as being exclusively large are mistaken"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Mir. Harris Defends Movement for Re-
 duction of Cotton Acreage.

To the Editor of The ge-Herald:
 have received several copies of your paper marked from which l quote
 Mai Joe Harris was billed to speak in Greensboro early this week on behalf of the Cotton Growers association, but the lack of an audience forced him to post pone it indefinitely. Some of the wise men seem to feel that this association is drift ing into the hands of the politicians just as the Farmers alliance did, and that the leaders of the movement need watch- ing, that what was begun for the farmers benefit will end In the interest of the as- pirant for office"
 MT. Editor the above has thrown some light on my recent trip to Greensboro, as I presume the bit of news above quoted being from Greensboro, was furnished by your Greensboro correspondent, who ds well posted and anxious to give the news, I know nothing of the wise men," neither by whom they are appointed or whom they have appointed to do the "watch- ing" but it seems they obeyed orders
 I do know 'the movement has saved thousands of dollars to the south, and 1 do know governors, congressman, ex-con- gressmen bankers and lawyers are being "biIled" and do speak in the interest Of the movement" and I do know most of the southern newspapers are lending their aid to and encouraging this movement that means so much to our own sunny south and her every interest l say too, MT. Editor, so far I have never heard until I saw the news in The Age-H Herald that "wise men" were ordering or sug- gesting watching" as so necessary lest in benefitng the farmer some "asprant' for office might act on the stage In the scene.
 recall to mind the Farmers alliance. and your correspondent touches on that order. that "wise men watched them, but in spite of all the watching done, and the abuse and villifcation heaped, they suggested plans for the betterment of our government that today both of the great political parties of the United States are bringing to and fro up and down the earth trying to see which can embrace the closest and hold the tighest, the ex- plosive clements of Ocala platform con tained, as evidence to sustain the above, see Roosevelt and Bryan's utteranees to say nothing of congressman, governors and bankers who are willing and waiting.
