eoUkHouT ACQUITTED.
Jury Agreed with Prisoner That Dead
Man Caused Own Death,

Milbank. S. d.. Dec. 7.-Siesto Boull-
bout. formerly of Iowa. was acquitted
of murder in the district court here.
In September Il man from Iowa. liv-
ing on the same farm as Boukhout.
was killed by being struck OF the
head with a p~itchfork. one tine pene-
trating the brain. Boukllout was ac-
cused of the crime. He admitted hay
ing had the fork in his hand. but de-
having struck the blow. Two eye
witnesses could not tell how the man
received the fatal blow.
On The witness stand the defendant
was a star witness in his own behalf.
through his simplicity in telling his
story. getting up before the jury and
explaining in u childlike manner, how
and where he stood at the time of
the killing. A shrewd lawyer did the
rest for him. The Ringing question to
clear from the minds of the jury was:
How did George Constance receive
the fatal thrust of the fork?" The
counsel said that there was but one
cause. AS the defendant threw up his
hands to protect himself from n blow
struck by the deceased. he naturally
raised the fork, which was in his right
hand. h handle of the same struck
against the frame of the door, n as
Constance came toward the defendant
he struck his head against the tines of
the fork. thus causing his own death.
The jury after being out but a short
time brought in a verdict of not guilty.

WATER FOR THE cows.

ranged so that this water can be sent into

custom is to fill each tub about half full

like the chill removed from the very cold

der a rough roof to keep the storm off. and
the water Is heated here without interior
ing with affairs in the house kitchen.
Enough water can be heated in an hour
to properly temper the water for horses
and COWS and leave some pretty hot for
the fowls who delight in water as hot as
they can drink, during the winter. Actual
figures have shown us conclusively that in

pay for the labor and time involved in
warming the water given to the farm ami
