THE LIQUOR PROS ECUTION

THE LIQUOR PROS sECUTION
 Monday, the liquor case was heard by Justice Henry A. Gilbert in the ancient Town hall, and attracted quite large number of our citizens, not few of whom were witnesses. The charge involved two, Matthew McManuS, as principal manager, and William Lyon as assistant, in a place where liquors were illegally sold. The claim of the defence was, that there was club called the Putnam, with a state charter. The prosecution for the state, however, could not find any sort of organization. as the State re- quired. In fact not one witness for the defence could name who the off cerS of the club were, nor had they ever attended a meeting of the club | where business of the club was enact- ed. After the evidence was nearly completed, William Roe, possibly "Richard Roe," took the stand, and ii sdon developed that MT Roe was 8 de- l tective, and 8 member of the State police. When the detective finished, Prosecutor Shaw of Bridgeport&rgued in behalf of a conviction, alleging that the evidence demonstrated that there had been several instances of the ilie- gal sale of intoxicating liquors. At. the defendants, labored with much zeal to show that there was regular ly organized club doing business under a state charter. and asked for the dis. charges ot the defendants, or if found guilty that 8 small fine be imposed. Justice Gilbert, however, fined MT Me. Manus, $50 and cost and MT Lyon $25 and cost. The defendants appealed, and bonds given at $2OO. Whatever the outcome may be, there is one thing that is certain that the place was run so quietly and orderly that not few persons, (not visitors to the place, had l any knowledge that there was such a club in town; yet according to the law such a place is nuisance.

Trouble Over Marked Deck of
Cards-Trial is on at Tow
ner-Question of Penalty.

Towner. N. D., Nov. 24.-District
court convened this week, the first half
day being spent in the assignment of
cases.
The case of the state against Rich
ard Kane came up for trial. This is
case in which the defendant is charged
with the killing of one Rairdon, alias
Kelley, at Drake, this county, on Aug.
10. Both Kane and Kelley were tin
horn" gamblers and had a dispute over
the use Of a marked deck of cards, in
game Of poker. Kane said that Kel-
ley cheated him out of $2.25 and de-
manded its return on threats of shoot
Ing. The demand was laughed at, but
Kane, true to the Southern blood that
flows in his veins, borrowed a revol-
yer and told Kelley to say his prayers,
as he was going to kill him.
After backing him around the room
severa! times and telling his victim
where he was going to shoot him, he
finally fired, the first shot going
through Kelley's hat. The second shot
struck Kelley In the abdomen, causing
death In . few hours.
Kane's conviction is certain. The
only question is whether the jury will
bring in a verdict for life imprison-
ment or one of death.
The calendar Of this term contains
twelve criminal and LOG civil cases.

ROBBERS AT MEDORA.
Get Checks, Cash, and Jewels, and Run
Things to Their Own Taste.

Bismarck, Nov. 24.-Robbers entered
the court house at Medora and dyna-
mited the three safes in that build
ing. About $1,000 inchecks, SITS in
currency and several hundred dol
Lars worth of jewelry was secured.
The work of the robbers was not dis
covered until the next morning. The
sheriff began search for the criminals
at once, and hope is entertained that
they will be apprehended. kilograms
were sent to all conductors whose
trains stopped at Medora during the
night, and notices of the robbery were
sent to every sheriff along the line
Of the Northern Pacific. The court
house at Medora is an old structure,
badly in need of repair, and it would
be an easy mater for robbers to take
their time in going about their work.
The size of the town and small num-
ber of transients entertained, points
to the conclusion that the work was
done by parties familiar with the life
of the place and daily routine of the
officials.

tographs of the scene Of the alleged
murder. Before the adjournment was
taken. however, the prosecutor had
drawn near to the closing chapter of
his narrative. The Jury was told In

ed that all the doctors who took part

after the shooting, left the city. At
the time he left it was reported that
he was accompanied by another wom-
an. Before leaving sensational charges
were made against him regarding GER
tain methods he used In securing all
Of the property owned by himself and

Constantinople, Nov. 24.-It became
known today that the explosion of a
bomb in the Pera quarters of Constan-
tinople, New. %, was the second al
legged attempt to blow up Fehmi
Pasha, chief of the secret police of the
palace. The bomb exploded near his
carriage while he was driving
through the main street of the Pera
quarters. Two spectators were in
jured. The police claim that they ar
rested the man who threw the bomb
and say that he is an Armenian, but
there is much skepticism as to
whether the explosions were not Ell
gineered by Fehmi Pasha himself,
with view of imp!essing the sultan
with his importance as chief of police
of the palace and securing continu-
alton of imperial favors. A year ago
a bomb was thrown from the roof of
the house on the main thoroughfare
of the Pera quarters as Fehmi Pasha
was passing in his carriage. He es-
capped uninjured and the explosion did
little damage. The attempt was at
tributed to Armenians.

SUGAR TRUST HEAVILY FINED
FOR ACCEPTING R, R, REBATES

New York. Nov. 24.-The American
Sugar Refining company was found
guilty by jury in the United States
circuit court today of accepting re-
bates amounting to $4,000 from the
New York Central railroad. The New
York Central was recently found guilty
of giving rebates to the American
Sugar Refining company and fined
$1OS,O00.
Joseph H. Choate. former ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, in his argument
for the defense, declared that there
was no precedent in American law
for such an enormous fine as the
statute against rebating provided. 1t
was necessary, he added, to so back
several centuries in English law to
find an instance in which penalty
amounting to more than 100000 had
been imposed.
