ACQUITTED PERJURY CHARGE
John Van Slyke Was Freed by Jury
In United States Court-Three
Hours for Verdict,

The twelve good men and true on
the jury in the perjury case against
John Van Slyke which was tried in
the United States court rooms brought
in verdict of not guilty. The case
has attracted considerable attention in
the western part Of the state where
there has always been some incon-
sistency in regard to the taking up of
government lands. The question
which the jury had to decide in this
case was largely whether the claim
ant had made any previous arrange
ment for a transfer to Van Slyke or
whether he was getting the claim for
home.
Several millions Of acres of land
have been taken UP in the western
part of the state during the past five
years and naturally there has been
much claim jumping" and cancelled
proofs owing to the fact that settlers
would journey out to their claims once
month. spend a night in their Axe
shack and consider this ample proof
of residence.
In the case which was decided in
this city young man proved up on
claim in 1904, this claim being stu
ated about five miles from the city of
Williston. The government case hinged
on the proof going to show that the
young man had previously made ar
rangements with Van Slyke for a
transfer of the land Immediately when
the final papers were drawn up. Van
Slyke was to pay half the cost of prov
ing up for a consideration of one-half
the land. The defense claimed that
only after proving up was any ar
rangement made between the men.
The case was given to the jury on
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock and
the jury filed in with the verdict at
z o'clock.

Elk FAT MAN IS IN TOWN
Former Barnum Curiosity, Who Held
Worlds Record for Weight, Now
Selling Hardware.

Otto Friend, commonly known az
"Speevey," travelling man for the
Washington Cutlery company, and
whose home is in Iowa, has been
spending few days in the city as
the guest of Earl Wade and other
friends. He is somewhat of noted
character, as he was for many years
the largest man in the world. At the
age of thirteen years he weighed gil
pounds and this gradually increased
until he reached the enormous
weight of 631 pounds. For many years
he was the "fat man" with the great
Barnum circus, and later filled SINH
lar engagement with Forpaugh. A
few years ago he began losing flesh
and in spite Of all he could do, was
reduced to mere skeleton, weighing
but $50 pounds. Naturally after this
change he retired from the show bust
ness and since that time has been
travelling as hardware salesman. He
is professional foot ball player and
whenever he appears on the gridiron
he is conceded the game. It is easy
for him to take the bali in his arms
and simply walk across the goal while
half dozen players are hanging to
his person. He is said to be the best
looking fat man in the country, and
the remarkable thing is that his girl
is petite little beauty, weighing 81
pounds.

THE BIG. COUNTY FAIR Opened
ON THANKSGIVING AFTERNOON
Big Annual Event AT Y. NJ. C. A. In Full S,yin6
Lasts Through Saturday N9ht-Description
Of The Various Attractions

Tho second annual county fair at
the Y. M. c. A. opened yesterday after
noon under very suspicious circum-
stances and II yesterdays entertain
ments can be taken as a sample of
the entire fair, certain it is that It
can be pronounced a complete sue

great boon, not only for the boys de-
partment of the Y, which has the fair
in hand, but also for the entire as
ISOLATION and the many EXPLANATIONS
of surprise and delight heard during
the performances show in what re-
gard the entertainment is held by the
people of Grand Forks. Last years
fair netted the association something
like one hundred dollars, and. al
though the total receipts this year are
expected to double, the net profit will
hardly exceed that of last year, owing
to the new and expensive features
which have been added. The curtains,
drops and scenery on the stage in the
main show are all the property of the
department and the equipment as a
whole surpasses that in many opera
houses throughout the country.
The entertainment is strictly a home
product, gotten up by home workers
and carried out in every detail by
Grand Forks talent. 1t might be pro-
per at this time to say word in re-
gard to Mr.. canon, the boys secre-
tary, to whom almost the entire credit
for the show can be given. He has
arranged every little detail of the
mechanism and on him fell the brunt
of the work.
The show is an interesting combina-
ton of athletic skill shown in every
phaze and of systematic skill in high
ly developed form. The main show
in the large gymnasium with its large,
we'll lighted stage and beautiful
scenery shows this combination to
every advantage. The Bumstader's

working on the stage behind the
scenes and at the lime was lacking

mouth when in q moment VI forget

SAYS HIS WIFE CHASED HIN
Six.Footer Asks Divorce for Cruel
Treatment-Lived In N. D. for
Some Time.

Minneapolis Tribune: After pouring
forth her wrath upon two small STEP
children, Mrs. Charles 8. Abbot, form
erly OF Minneapolis, now residing in
st. Paul, set upon her husband, it is
charged, and after pursuing him mad
ly the entire length of Selby avenue
incline, followed him a distance of four
miles, whence they walked home. The
berated husband has begun action for
divorce in the st. Paul courts on the
ground of cruelty and inhuman treat
ment.
Two years Mr.. and Mrs. Abbot came
to Minneapolis from North Dakota, Just
before which time the Oldest child,
a boy Of twelve years, was taken. away
by the authorities because Of cruel
treatment by the stepmother.
The other child Helen, a little girl,
ten years old, came here with them and
attended Whittier school. Nearly every
day the child displayed new mark or
bruise on her. but when questioned as
to how they were made she said that
she had fallen down.
Finally the case was reported to the
Humane society, and after a close in
vestigation Helen was taken away
from her parents and put in home
where she will stay until her aunt
comes for her.
After trying the blissful joys of we'd
ded life in st. Paul for the space Of
three months, Mr.. Abbot has asked for
q divorce.
Mr.. Van Ettan of the Minneapolis
Humane society has been attending the
trial and says that the plea is indeed
a sad one, for the woman is small and
the man is over six feet high.

very realistic.
