Cooperstown. N. d.. Nov. 21.-The.
term of the district court just closed:
here disposed of two very important
cases. The case Of the state vs.
George Tonne was dismissed on the.
motion Of the state, Attorney Lee
Combs of Valley City acting for the,
state. Mr.. Tonne was accused of en-
bezzling $1,000 from the bank Of
Hannaford. He was tried and a new
trial secured. He was tried again and
the jury disagreed and this time the
state dismissed the action. The other
case was that Of the state vs.. Frank
Smith for murder in the first degree.
1t will be remembered by readers Of
The Times that Smith was accused of
numbering blind pigger by the name
OF Eddie Corbett. 1t appeared from
the evidence that a dozen or more
hoboes were drinking in the Northern
Pacific yards at Cooperstown, Corbett
furnishing them the liquor from a
satchel. The men repaired to a box
car on being ordered to move on by
the village marshal. There Corbett
and Smith engaged in a fight. Corbett
was heard to exclaim, look out, he
has knife" The fight stopped
shortly afterwards but the other men,
bers of the party were too intoxicated
to know much about what had trans
pired. The next morning the body of
Corbett was found with fatal wound
over the breast. Smith was arrested
and bloody knife and blood on his
clothing formed ve.y strong circum-
stantial evidence. However, the jury
in the case disagreed, some Of the
jurymen eontending that they would
not hang man on any kind of cir
cumstantial evidence. The case vii.
be retired at the next term of court.
The case Is of unusual interest owing
to the rumor that Corbett is not the
murdered mans real name, and that
he is connected with one Of the best
families in Minneapolis.

REPORTS Of PAVING
COMMITTEES
MADE
At q Meeting of Commercial

Evening.
MANY FAVOR cREosoTE
City Engineer Smith Discusses
Several Phases of the Paw.
ing Question.
MANY FAVOR cREosoTE

At a meeting Of the board of dir
ecaors Of the Commercial club last
night the reports OF the committees
appointed by the club and the city
council jointly to investigate the mat
ter Of paving for the city, was made.
The several members reported in
writing individually. giving their OBJ
servations as to the several kinds of
material which could be used. The re-
port Of City Engineer Smith was the
most exhaustive, and covered the mat
ters of slippery surface, noise, wearing
qualities. labor to keep clean and trac-
ton. He also discussed the objections
to the several kinds of paving material.
President Lander of the club made
a report of his observations and ideas,
and while favoring the creosote block,
urged that some action should he tax
en- in reference to an investigation Of
brick before definite report is made
to the city council. X. c. Hunter re-
ported at length on the cost Of several
kinds Of material, and while he admit
ted that asphalt would cost As cents
less per square yard than creosote
blocks; favored the latter because of
other advantages which he claimed it
possessed. Leslie Stinson stated that
in his opinion there were but two
kinds Of material to be considered in
this city-creosote and asphalt. Ac-
oording to his report the cost of creo-
sotet Is So. per square yard and that
Of asphalt $780,, He favored the creo-
soto blocks, however. because of the
greater ease in taking up the same
for the placing of water pipes AMI
similar things. The report Of John
Lynch brought out a matter not dis
cuased by the others, to the effect that
opinions Of certain cities in favor of
one or the other kind of paving ma
terdal were influenced by local condi-
lions. As an illustration he pointed
out that in Minneapolis where creo-
sote blocks were strongly favored, a
plant for manufacturing them is In
operation. while in Duluth where the
sentiment favored tar macadam is a
plant for the manufacture Of that
product. F. s. Sargent advocated es-
pecial care in the making of contracts
so that the city would not be cheated.
The reports Of M. w. Day and VIII
liam Spriggs were in favor of creo-.
sote but gave no reasons for their
opinion, merely stating the prefer
ence. =. -.

Danger Not So Great as Many Persons
Think.

From the Arizona Republican. -
The dangers to human life from the
bites and stings of poisonous reptiles
found in the southwest are very much
overestimated. 1t is a belief among
many that the centipede, the tarantula,
the ella monster, the scorpion and a
score of other reptiles and insects of
various long scientific names are sure
death to those who encounter them.
The facts are that about the only re-
ally dangerous thing that Arizona has
are the rattlesnakes and the hydro
phobia skunk. The former is common
to almost the entire United States,
outside of the cities, and the skunk is
found In many countries besides Ari-
iona.
The ella monster is automatically
credited with number of victims, but
it is not very dangerous animal, for

LONG STRUGGLE LOST
BY GEORGIAN CHURCH
Commission Is Appointed to Translate
the Bible Into Modern Georgian
Language.

st. Petersburg, September 5.-The long
struggle of the Georgian people to retain
the autonomy of the Georgian church lost
after the Incorporation of the ancient
kingdom with Russia, which has been
carried on by interdiet and boycott and
all the other means at the disposal of the
patriotic church and people, has resulted
in a partial victory.
The Emperor, on the recommendation of
the Holy Synod, has declared the creation
of a church council composed of three
Georgian bishops, of which body Rus
sian archbishop will only be the nominal
head and the restoration of the old Geor-
gian language to it's place in church lit
erature.
A commission has also been created to
translate the Bible into modern Georgian.
1t is doubtful, however if these partial
concessions will be effective 1t is stated
that the Georgians will be informed salts
fed with nothing less than the re-insti-
tuition of the ancient Georgian Catholics
as head of the church instead of the pres
ent archbishop, who is Russian nominee.
The Catholics were subordinate only to
the Emperor or patriarch; he was the
recognized head of the Greek church
throughout the world The boycott which
has now been in effect for over year will
probably be continued until this is attain
ed For several months the Georgian
church has virtually been conducting Its
own affairs, having driven out one of the
Russian archbishops. His successor had
not dared TO go to Tihis until concessions
were granted. He arrived at Tifis today
but was not welcomed by anybody except
the Russian officials.
