BAD EVIDENCE INTRODUCED
Witnesses 1t Doyle Murder Trial Tell
OF Details Of tho Now Famous

New and important evidence was in
troduced into the Doyle murder case
when Edward Peterson entered the
witness box. Peterson cannot talk
very good English, but he made
splendid witness and silence as of
death prevailed in the court room as
he told of conversations with Doyle in
which the accused referred to the good
bargain he had made In securing
Weiler's farm by trading a half section.
IN the Battleford district together with
small amount of money instead of
paying $4,000 for the deed, which they
crossed the line to sign.
Bailey SIN Adissink.
The crown has given up all hope of
securing Ernest Bailey to give evil
ience at the trial. Several reports
were received that he had been seen
In different places, but all were traced
down and proved without foundation.
He has disappeared as completely as Il
the earth had swallowed him up. BY
showing they had used all possible eff.
forts to locate the witness, the crown
expects to be able to introduce his dis
position at the preliminary hearing.

Geo. Barcelo, customs Office for the
United States, was the first witness
called. He has known Doyle for 10 or
IL years. He saw Doyle and a man

called into Mr.. Cousen's office to wit

being the interested parties. He had
altered the form of acknowledgment
so that 1t would conform with the laws

Some Of the other witnesses who
have been called upon are: A. Void

Herman Wendo, Dresden, Arthur Keff
OF Wales. All these are residents of
North Dakota and told of minor little
details connected with the case.

On Nov. the enrolment at the

English class, which is usually a

larger than last year. Adding to this
the number enrolled in the junior
class at the law school. usually treat
ed as members of the freshman class,
we get 1873 as approximately the size
of the freshman class for 1906. The
course system prevailing at the uni
versity takes no account of the old
classical distinctions of freshman,
sophomore. Junior and senior so it is
impossible to make from the regis
trar's records an exact statement of
the membership at a given time in
each of these four traditional classes.
A gratifying feature of the growth of
the university Is the fact that the sew
eral colleges are growing much faster
than the several preparatory depart
ments. While the attendance of the
university in all its departments In
1906 was but Is per cent greater than
that of the year previous, the attend

Savage had the following for publica-
ton:
"On several of the projects where
bids have been radically high the Sec

This condition and requirement was
anticipated when the reclamation engi-

THE North Dakota contracts have
been awarded for power generating
machinery, electric generators, trans
mission lines motors and pumps, also
for the canals and distributing sys-

also building canals and distributing

other contractors are erecting the steel

the power generating station was
chosen because OF its relative location

Dr.. Gottfried e. Hult of the depart.
ment of English at the state agricul-
tural college. Fargo, gave a most de-
lightful address on Impressions OF
Greece" at the university convocation
exercises this afternoon. Having spent
a considerable share of the past year
in Greece, DR.. Hult, in rare good
language and in most pleasing man
ner, gave to his large audience some
very fine word pictures of scenes in
that country of memories" as he very
fittingly called it.
He pictured wildly the scene Of the
Olympic games of Greecian history.
Here at certain seasons were gathered
the athletes, poets, historians, philo-
sophers-all the physical prowess and
intellectual wealth Of Greece. Here
stood an image of Zeus, the chief of
the Greek gods, before whom the
athletes took oath before entering up
on their contest. Here it was that
men contested, not for money, but for
honor to, themselves and glory to
Greece. AS DR.. Hult spoke, he almost
made his audience see in one moment
the moonlight on the statutes round
about; and in the next, they could al
most fancy the murmur of the river
Alpheus nearby as it murmured to
mems ears two thousand years ago.

A COMMUNICATION.
Rev. E. ]. Conaty Makes Declaration
Refutfng Certain Misstatement
of Facts.


of Facts.
Editor Evening Times: A repor.
has been put into circulation that the
pastor of st. Michael's church, ON last
Sunday, delivered a sermon OF poll
tical nature, in which he advocated the
election of certain candidates on next
Tuesday. This falsehood is so easily
susceptible Of refuration that I am
surprised that any person of ordinary
intelligence should make such state
ment, and the only explanation is that
bigotry is bulwark behind which
ignorance hides ITSELF did not on
last Sunday, or any other Sunday, in
st. Michael's church, or in any other
place. in public or in private, mix
myself In politics, and the persons
who have circulated this Islander owe
1t to, the public, and to me personally,
to make PREPARATION as far as possible.
This is the first time in twenty years
that have taken cognizance of sland-
ers which have come to my ears from
time to time, for the reason that 1
thought they would die because of
their apparent worthlessness, and l
remember the experience of the gen.
tleman who attempted to refute
skunk, and had the memory of his
victory long after his opponent had
vanished in his own stencil. Every
person who attended all the services,
know that did not utter one word of
a political nature, either in regard to
principles or individuals, and 1 can
not conceive how any minister of God,
ordained to preach the doctrines of
Christ can descend to partisan poll
tics when he knows that the utmost
freedom exists among his people In
the choice Of their political principles
and candidates, and that he could not
advocate one set of candidates or poll
tical views without violating the rights
of large number of his parishioners.
As matter of fact, have never vot-
ed for all the members who have been
nominated by the different political
parties who happened to be members
of my church, because in many in
stances did not consider them fit for
the Offices to which they aspired. When
General Sherman was urged for the
presidency of the United States, he
declined to enter the contest because,
he said, he did not wish to drag his
wife and children into the filth OF

The announcement made yesterday
