F. c. Brooks for the alleged embezzle-
ment of $4,000. ryr.-s~. -
? Jurors are much easier to secure than
in the other insurance cases. Only ten
of the new venire were examined this
morning, but out of that number five
were found to be acceptable and are
now in the >custody, of Sheriff Dreger,
where they will remain until they have
delivered verdict. Judge Robert jam

the defendant, and John F. Dahl, the

WELLMAN'S AIRSHiP.
Preparations for Start Of Polar Expe.
dition.


Paris.-The early departure OF Wal
ter Wellman, the American explorer,
and his party for Spitzbergen, in ac'
cordance with his plan to endeavor 20
reach the North pole by means of n
dirigible balloon, is attracting wide
spread attention here among aeronauts
and men of science. This attention
has been increased by Mr.. Wellman's
announcement that he intends to es'
tablish a base at Danes island and be.
gin his ascent on the very spot where
Andre inflated his balloon.
The first section of his party, under
Major Herzy, will leave Paris in few
days, rendezvousing at Tromseoe until
June 18th and then proceeding on the
Arctic steamer Frithjof to Spitzbergen,
where Major HerZy viii direct the con-
struction of headquarters, machine
shops, gas plant and balloon shed. The
balloon will be the largest ever con.
structed, owing to the enormous dl.
mensions of Mr.. Wellman's dirgible
machine. Major Merzy's advance
party will consist of Alexander Liew-
anthan, chemist and gas engineer; DR..
w. N. Fowler Of Indiana, surgeon;
Felix Rosenberg, assistant navigator.
and Francis H. BuZzacott, commissary.
Mr.. Wellman will follow, June 25th.
with the balloon and the remainder OF
his party, consisting Of Maxwell
Smith, wireless telegraph expert, who
will establish wireless station at
Spitzbergen; CASTOR Hervieu, aero.
naut, and John Colard and two assist
ant aeronauts.

who believe they are entirely and eter-
nally right.
At last the point was reached where
the work must be completed by an act
of extreme desperation-we must
charge the fort.
Between the trench in which we
were concealed and the coveted prize
was a space of about 500 feet, filled
with every sort of obstruction which
cunning, desperate men could devise.
In part this consisted of stout stakes
driven firmly into the ground at an
angle pointing towards us. and sharp.
ened. These were so thick and close
that we could not pass between them,
and were too strong to be easily
broken. If there was a spot anywhere
affording the least protection from the
leaden storm, it was planted thick
with torpedoes. 1t was through and
over such distractions that we must
force our way while the guns of the
fort would be flashing on us floods of
death.
The signal was to be three guns
fired from battery hear the center
of our line, at an interval of half a
minute each. To deceive the enemy,
precisely the same signal had been
fired at noon for three preceding days.

WILL REBUILD STANFORD.
Damage to Great University Less
Than Reported.

San Francisco.-Stanford Univer.
sity will be reconstructed at once, and
by next December every building nee.
essary to the work of tho college will
be in perfect condition. The work has
commenced already and there is
plenty of money on hand to assure the
trustees that the repairs may be nc.
icomplished as quickly as they desire.
A closer examination Of the wrecked
buildings shows the damage to have
been not nearly us great as at first re.
ported. The three most seriously dam.
aged are the memorial church, the new
gymnasium and the new library. OF
these the new library, probably will
have to be torn down. The new gym
nasium is still in n condition to be
reconstructed. The memorial church
is damaged probably to the extent OF
a quarter of its value. The walls OF
the building are uninjured and the
tower is standing. The magnificent
organ which it contained was not
touched.

School Land Suit.

Denver.-In order to settle the ques.
ton of the states right to dispose OF
school land in spite Of an attempt upon
the part of the Legislature to assume
this right, friendly suit is to be
started to which the Bijou Irrigation
Company will be the other party. The
last Legislature passed a law which
provided that any school section suit
able for irrigation purposes could be
appropriated by an irrigation company
with proper compensation to the state.
The Bijou Irrigation Company desires
to acquire large reservoir site east
of Fort Morgan, in the center Of which
is section of school land. The State
Land Board contests its right to take
this section, claiming that It has the
sole Jurisdiction over the disposal of
school land. The suit will determine
the disputed point.

hopelessly overpowered, at last sur.
rendered.
The fury of rejoicing which followed
rivaled that of the charge. The strug.
gle had been SO long and desperate,
the victory was so complete (not n
single one of the foe escaping) that
men lost all self-control. and some in
a frenzy Of joy even hugged each other
and cried like women.
But the vanquished-God pity them.
The ground was strewn thick with
their dead and dying, with pools of
blood, with fragments of rent and scat
tered bodies. Some of their guns werc
literally covered with the shattered re-
mains Of the poor victims who had
perished in handling them.
Amid the sitting stencil of human
gore, the survivors stood, some hud-
died in little groups. dumb with ter
ror; some upright. facing us In cool
defiance; others, blackened by smoke,
bareheaded. half naked, were on their
knees in prayer.
And this is war!
