ton of a man wanted in Canada on a
charge, of horse stealing and alleged
murder. He was taken to Fargo, where
the United States court commissioner
heard the application for his extradi-

Extradition Not Granted.
Larron had influential friends and
the case was hard fought, resulting in
a refusal to grant the extradition pa

counties were waiting the outcome of
the hearing, and upon the dismissal Of
the extradition proceedings Larron
was taken into custody by the sheriff
of Mclean county. If he escapes COZ
viction at Washburn he may be taken
to other counties for trial.
Larron has had a romantic career,
the facts of which are known only to
a few people, among them Rev. Tiff

IAN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS"

The autumn season is coming moro
and more to be recognized as most
suitable time for housepainting. There
is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for even the best Job OF paint
ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length Of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry,
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
whittier the other day: "House owners
would get more for their money II they
would allow their painters to take
more time. especially between coats.
Instead OF allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky.' several days (weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is inconvenient, of
course, but, IL one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, 1t would add two
or three years to the life Of the paint"
All this is assuming. Of course, that
the paint used Is the very best to
be had. The purest of white lead and
the purest of linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper Of the cheap mixtures,
often known as white Lead" and oil
which has been doctored with fish oil,
benzine, corn oil or other, Of the
adulterants known to the trade are
used, all the precautions Of the skilled
painter are useless to prevent the
cracking and peeling which make
houses unsightly in year or SO and
therefore, make painting bills too fire.

Alexis, Gin rather a deplorable conGi-

he contrived to turn on the gas in the

very narrow escape from asphyxiation.

MAJOR DENNY IS FOUND GUILTY
Prominent Wiston m d. Man Convicted on the Charge OF
Receiving Stolen Horses

Sentence will be passed tomorrow.
it is expected.
In the course Of the trial G. A. Mills
of Saco Mont, testified that he is the
owner of the "4H4" brand, and that
eighteen horses with this brand were
stolen from his pasture in Montana.
In September, 1905, he said, five OF
these horses were found on Maj. Den
ny's ranch.
Brand Inspector Hall of Helena said
Mills notified him of the theft, and
month later he heard of a bunch IN
this county, some marked with the
Mills brand. Going TO the Denny
ranch, he asked Mr.. Denny is he had
any horses branded "4H4." He testi-
fled that Denny said he did have five,
but. thinking there was something
wrong, he got rid Of the animals.
Denny virtually admitted, said Hall,
that he was the leader Of a gang OF
horse thieves, when he said to the In
spector, as the latter testified:
81 will use my influence and money
to help run these fellows down. If you
WIZ let me out OF IL.
Hall said he told Denny at the time
that he thought Denny was the leader.
Testimony Is Damaging.
G. A. Miller of Saco, a former Mon
tana saloonkeeper, testified he had
written to Mr.. Denny for a man known
as Tom Ryan. He made copy of the
letter, wrote to Hall, and, hearing that
Mills horses had been stolen. also
wrote the latter, and Mills employed
him to help trace the horses. Miller
came to Williston. called on Mr.. Den
ny, and posed as a friend of Ryan,
coming direct from him. AS Ryan is
the man Denny bought the "4H"
horses from, Miller thought Denny
would and could give him some infor-
nation. He said Denny told him he
had bought eighteen head Of horses
from Ryan, among them being some
branded "4H4." Some he sold in Can
ada, and the balance between here and
Minot If they were stolen, Denny
said he would help get the mbacls,
witness testified, but Ryan had to
send some money to help do 70. Mil
Ter said Denny told him that he knew
these were stolen horses, and that
was his reason for getting them out
of the country. Miller alleged that
Denny told him to tell Ryan not to
come to the bank any more, as In
spector Hall was after him, and it
was not safe for him to go. He would
have to meet him at another place.
Denny was quoted as saying that he
owed Ryan quite little on the last
bunch" that he bought three punches
from him, and always paid part cash
and balance when sold.

Maj. w. H. Denny was found guilty
by a jury at Williston of receiving
stolen horses. Sentence was not
passed.
One of the salient features of the
evidence introduced by the state was
the copy of a letter which G. A. Miller
of Ashfield, Mont, testified he had
written to Denny at the dictation of
Tom Ryan The letter purported to
relate to Illicit horse deals in which it
was charged Denny and Ryan were
implicated.
Attack MiIler's Testimony.
Editor Corbett of the Wllliston
Graphic testified as to the likeness
of the Great Northern hotel station
cry to that upon which the supposed
copy was written by Miller for Ryan
addressed to Denny. The defendants
aim was to show that this copy was
written in Williston on the Great
Northern hotels writing paper, and
not, as Miller testified, at Saco. Four
witnesses testified that they had COM
pared this copy with the hotel paper
and found that 1t was of an exact size,
except that the copy lacked cut Of
the hotel, the name of a town and a
date line, an dappeared to have had
some portion OF the sheet cut from
the top. .-
The defense asked a continuance
Toh
er Forecaster Glass of Devils Lake
could be summoned to give testimony.
The motion was denied.
Attorney Palda for the defense was
allowed by the court to give sur-rebut-
tai. He said that he and others ex-
amined the sheet of paper with a mi
croscope and found that the top had
! been cut and could see dots on the
top, where the lower part of the let
ter 'fW" was shown.
States Attorney Brown, who made
the opening argument for the state,
talked for an hour. Attorney Hurd of
Helena followed for the defense and
former Judge Palda Of Minot added
his effort on behalf of Mr. Denny. R.
r. Purcell of Helena, Mont, closed
for the state.
Revove About Letter.
In the main the arguments were
based upon the Ryan letter, declared
to have been dictated to Miller at his
saloon at Ashfield.
Great interest has been shown
throughout the trial. The court room
, has been packed daily despite the ex-
cessive heat.
The verdict of guilty was reached
on the second ballot, and Denny was
released on his old bond of $25,000

Everything goes wrong II the break

says:
1.-TWO years ago l contracted very
annoying form Of Indigestion. MY
stomach was in such condition that
q simple breakfast of fruit, toast and

could come from such a simple diet
