serves to emphasize the theory that,
after all, civilization Is. as yet, only
step removed from savagery. In the
Calumet district of Indiana, scarcely
more than an hours ride from Chica-
go, the natives are boasting Of recent
wolf exploits and hoping for more to
come.

been seen. Scohers pronounced it i'm
possible, but more tracks were seen.
Strange noises were heard at night;
chickens Disappeared; even sheep
or two and small calves were killed
and partly devoured.
Finally George Hamper. in charge

SHINING it carefully. had the skin
stuffed and mounted. Hunters, of
course, envied Hampers good fortune.
However, this was not the only OPP
portunity afforded. The depredations
continued.
Wolves were often seen In the gray
of early morning selling chickens and
devouring such carcasses of animals
as had not been buried.
No one secured another successful
shot and apparently the wolf pack was
thriving and waxing larger and holder.
Several farmers along the river set
traps, only to find them empty morn

Hampers dst-....c::--ed upon trying

refuse, throwing It into considerable
hollow square, in the center of which
was a dead horse. Between each two
piles he set a strong trap so that to
get at the meat the wolves must pass
over the traps or leap over the piles.
Everything ready, Hamper and his
men were anxious for the morning.
1t came. but no wolf was covering in
trap. The next day, however, as
they were husking corn one of the
men declared that he saw something
moving among the refuse piles.
It proved to be full grown wolf,

them a little: but one of the men cut
forked stick and held it upon his
neck with sufficient force to pin him
to the ground and to prevent him
turning his head to bite.
Next strap was slipped under his
body and moved forward until it could
be buckled about his neck. A chain
fastened to the strap provided a
means by which he could be tied.
Throwing blankets over the animal,
the men took the wolf to a building at
the club where he was chained very
much like one of his cousins, the watch
dogs.
Since then three more wolves have
succumbed to the prowess Of Hamper,
who is still awaiting material re-

The patriotic exercises at the opera
house on Tuesday evening by the
lower grade pupils of the Washington
and Eastside schools, were very
interesting and successful, and
listened to by crowded house, both
at the afternoon and evening per-
formances. We have not the time
this week to publish the program and
can only say that each and every one
of the little ones did exceedingly
we'll. Especially were the different
drills much appreciated.
The Baccalaureate sermon to the
graduates was preached by Rev. Gill
christ, OF Crookston, at the opera
house on Sunday evening. Special
music was furnished for the occasion
by choir. With these words from
the scriptures as text: ssProye all
olllHSS, HOIu IaSu that which Is
good, !" he gave very practical and
helpful address. He dwelt especially
on the necessity Of proving, testing
everything in order to ascertain
whether good or bad, true or false.
Facts must be clearly analysed and
subjected to calm judgement in order
that the right conclusions may be
drawn. One Of the great evils of the
day in church and state IS the prone
ness to jump at conclusions without
thorough investigation. It is thus 50
much error, 50 many false theories
do appear and hold sway IN the
world. Young. people should care
fully cultivate their Judgment in
order to.be. able.to choose the.goal.

Patrick's next move was more sue
cessful. The court of appeals on July
"a, just ii days before Patrick was to
die, granted stay of execution pend
ing a new hearing and re-argument on
the grounds of newly discovered evil
dence. This was followed on October
by motion for Te-argument of Pat
rick's original appeal, but on October
q the court of appeals decided against
Patrick by refusing TO reopen his case
and denying the motion for re-argu-
ment.
On November 10 Patrick asked the
court of appeals to amend the record
of decision in the case. His motion was
denied. Matters began to look grave.
On July 6 Justice Rogers called Pat
rick to the bar in the criminal branch
of the supreme court and sentenced
him to die in the week beginning Janu-
airy 22 of this year. Then Patrick made
a personal appeal to Gov Higgins for
stay of execution. The appeal was de-

llmtnary examination, he was held for
the grand jury, and on April 20 that
body returned an indictment against
Patrick, charging him with murder
in the first degree. Next day Pat
rick was formally arraigned before
Recorder Goff and remanded for
trial.
On October IA, when more than a
year had passed since the death Of
Rice, Patrick's lawyers went into
court and made a motion for their
clients release on the ground that
two trial terms had passed without
the district attorney bringing Patrick
to trial This motion was denied.
Patrick was placed on trial for his
life on the following January 90.
Postponements came on February 4
and 5, owing to the illness of Juror
John ID. Campbell, and it was not UNI
til March &c that the trial ended
with Patrick's conviction. Imme-
diately following the announcement

MED. Patrick then made a public ap-
peal for "a square deal" This was on
December %. Time was getting short
and Patrick's resources seemed ex-
hausted.
As result of Patrick's appeal many
petitions reached Gov Higgins on De-
cember 30. asking him to save Patricks
life. Patrick followed these with an
other appeal TO the governor for a stay
of execution, but this, too, the COVER
nor refused to grant.
When January 10 came and Patrick's
execution was only distant seven days,
the governor granted Patrick an extern
sion to March 10 in order that he might
present the testimony Of the Texan wit
nesses who came to New York city la
ter to tell what Valet Jones had told
them about Patrick's innocence
Patrick waited until February IS be-
fore filing his motion for a new trial on
the grounds of newly discovered evil
dence. His fight for new trial began
before Recorder Goff on February 81
and ended disastrously, one of the Tex
an witnesses being arrested and sent to
Jail for perjury.
On March II. one week from the date
of execution, Patrick received another
reprieve, this time to May u, and on
May IA, with the day of execution one
week away once more, Gov. Higgins
granted further respite to June Is.
Gov. Higgins dealt Patrick a hard
blow on May 80 by vetoing legislative
bill passed at Albany which would have
permitted him to obtain easily a new
trial on the grounds of newly discov-
cred evidence.
June IL, when Recorder Goff handed
down a decision denying Patrick's mo-
ton for a new trial. Patrick apparent
ly had reached his last ditch. He was
to die within a week.
But on June IL a writ OF error was
granted on his application to the Unit
ed States supreme court. This acted az
a stay of execution and is not returna-
bic until the October term of court
In his prolonged fight Patrick has
had the assistance of many celebrated
attorneys. but almost every move made
has been at his own suggestion or that
of Attorney Bell Thomas. who has been
his most constant adviser.
Public sentiment i'm New York has
been a great factor in the case. That
Rice was murdered has been proved be-
yond all doubt, but many believe the
millionaire's valet, Jones was the as
sassin. Both Patrick and Jones bene-
flied in pecuniary way through the
death of Rice.
During his stay in jail Patrick has
made himself the idol OF the prisoners,
acting as their legal adviser in many
cases. His knowledge of the law Is
profound, and many a criminal. Il IL
alleged, has attained his liberty
through clever technicalities devised by
Patrick. The states attorneys Office
would be glad to have him liberated or
the death sentence, so long delayed,
carried out.
The case shows as perhaps never be-
fore in criminal history how easily
man Of resources can evade punish
ment for his misdeeds.

of the jurys verdict OF guilty of
murder in the fist degree" Patricks
lawyes filed notice of their intention
to appeal from the verdict, and to
move for a new trial.
Sentenced to Die.
Recorder Golf called Patrick to the
bar on April 7, and after denying the
motion for a new trial and another
motion for the arrest of judgment,
he sentenced Patrick to die in the
electric chair in the week beginning
May 5.
A notice Of appeal was at once filed
with the court of appeals. This acted
temporarily as a stay of execution,
and the dreaded week of May passed
with Patrick still alive.
A delay of almost three years for
lowed, during which Patrick success
fully checkmated every move made
to end his life.
Patricks lawyers had six months
from the date of the notice of appeal
in which to present their case to
the court. The six months expired
on October Z. 1902, but on the day
previous went before the court of APP
peals and asked for an extension to
January IS. within which to file Pat
rick's appeal for a new trial.
Two days later the court refused
the application for an extension of
time.
This left the case in suspense. The
court record stopped with the courts
which, by the way, had already ex-
pired. The court of appeals, although
IL had stopped the execution of Pat
rick, had no jurisdiction to fix new
date for carrying out the sentence.
Things were at standstill
Patrick broke the ice on November
II, 1902, by filing a motion for a new
trial. On November 26 the hearing
of the motion before Recorder Golf
was postponed until Decmeber 8. The
year 1902 closed with Patrick wait
ing in his cell for Recorder Golf to
decide whether he would grant the
motion for new tial or not.
New Years day. 1908, found Patrick
anticipating an unfavorable decision
from Recorder Golf by preparing an
appeal from the anticipated decision.
February passed without the record
er's decision being announced. and
the court of appeals granted Patrick
an extension of time under which to
file his appeal IL necessary.
On March 2 Recorder Goff denied
the motion for a new trial. Patrick
Immediately fled his notice OF appeal,
and Nothing more could he done to-
ward carrying out the death sentence
for another six months at least.
The court of appeals the following
June decided against Patrick, refusing
to grant a new trial and affirming the
Judgment of conviction.
Two days later Patrick prepared a
new appeal for presentation to the
court of appeals for new hearing and
argument. This time IL took the court
of appeals just three days to decide
against Patrick's newest move. On
June IA his application was refused and
the court fixed the week of August Z
for his execution.

Sentenced in 1902 for the Murder of Millionaire
William Marsh Rice, By Skillful Maneuver-

Hands CT the Executioner.

New York-Take the average MUIR
derer. Sentenced to die. he bows to
the seeming inevitable. Like a thing
whose spirit has already crossed the
border-line, from life to death, he
mechanically waits for the end, some
times moaning, sometimes praying,
but always waiting-waiting for the
executioner to beckon him forth.
Nowhere can a more striking con-
trast to the above be found than in
the amazing and even brilliant fight
of Lawyer Albert T. Patrick against
the law, his own stock in trade, says
the New York World
Arrested in February. 1901. for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, an
eccentric old millionaire who had
been found dead five months pre-
viously under suspicious circum-
stances in his apartments at No 500
Madison avenue, Patrick was tried,
found guilty and sentenced to die in
the electric chair in the week of May
8, 1902. More than four years have
passed since then, and yet Patrick
is still very much alive, and actually
has a longer lease of life ahead of
him now than he had on April Z, 1902,
when the grim death sentence was
pronounced for the first time upon
him.
Dangerously near to the dead-line,
Patrick has been forced time after
time, but by skllful maneuvering he
has evaded the executioner's hand
and obtained another respite. AS the
case now stands, Patrick is safe at
least until next October, when the
United States supreme court will
pass upon the writ of error granted
on June II by Justice Day. This
writ was granted at Canton, o., with

detectives began to shadow Patrick,
and finally, on October 4. Patrick
and Rices valet. Charles F. Jones,
were arrested, not on charge of
murder but for forgery connected
with Rice's will and a $4,000 check
which Patrick had tried to cash after
Rice's death.
On the day following their arrest,
Patrick and Jones were held in Sl0,-
900 bail each on the forgery charge.
The bail was purposely placed at that
high figure, in order that the two
prisoners might be detained while
the investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the mysterious
death of Mr.. Rice could be probed.
Then, while Patrick and Jones were
endeavoring to get somebody to bail
them out, the police and coroner
worked hard to solve the murder mys-
terry. On October 81 the result of
the analysis of Rices body was an
nounced, showing that the aged mill
lionaire had been poisoned.
Had Been Poisoned.
Next the police turned their at
tention to Valet Jones. They third
degreed" him for thee days, and then
he told them what they already sus-
pected: Patrick had murdered Rice.
Two days later Jones made a still
more detailed confession, shouldering
all the guilt on Patrick to save his
own neck. Having done that, Jones
cut his throat in prison, but the po-
lice doctors stitched up the cash
and saved him for further confes-
sions.
Then, suddenly, on February %,
Patrick made his first move to get
out. The bail, $4,000, necessary to

lions for putting the condemned man
to death had already been commenced
at Sing Sing. 1t was the closest shave
Patrick ever had.
When Millionaire Rice was found
dead in his apartments at No. 500
Madison avenue, on September %,
1900, there was absolutely no suspi-
cion that his lawyer, Patrick, had MUIR
dered him. Not until four days later,
when the funeral had been stopped
by order of the coroner and Rice's
body sent to the morgue, did Patrick
learn that he was a suspect. Six

rick had already left his cell and was
almost free, when orders came to re-
fuse the bail and put Patrick back
in his cell. Two days later Patrick
was formally charged with the muir
der of Rice and held without bail
pending hearing.
Events in Patrick's case came swift
ly after this. On April 3 Jones de-
clared that Patrick had admitted to
his lawyers in Jones presence, that
he had killed Rice. On April IL Pat
rick was remanded on the charge OF

A Wild-Flower Garden.

1t will probably be fad this year, as orfe
result OF an early spring, for amateur
flower lovers to plant gardens of wild
flowers transplanted from the woods.
Many of the plants found in the woods and
fields have foliage and flowers as beautiful
as the highly cultivated kinds With the
first touch of spring the first wild flowers
begin to bloom and there Is a constant sue
cession of gay blossoms, Increasing In
splendor until late in September. when
BY making trips to the woods at various
such specimens of each variety as please
his fancy At home bed should be pre-
pared for them, placed where the plants
may have some protection from the hot sun
ana where they may be watered regularly
The soil should be enriched with fertilizer.
It is best to plant the wild flowers as q
border with all varieties mixed, as most
of them are perennials, and it will be un-
necessary to repiant the border yearly, ex-
cept to replace those that die. Owing to
the different Towering seasons of the vari-
Gus varieties If the bed IS well furnished
with many sorts there will be constant sue
cesson OF bloom all the summer.
1t Is best to begin working the ground fol
the bed as soon in the spring as 1t is dry
enough The transplanted flowers should
be carefully and regularly watered until
they are well established Afterward it is
only necessary to keep the weeds out. The
seeds of many of the best wild flowers can
be obtained of the seedsmen.
