IS Verdict II Case q oscar Relquam
the - Year Old Boy, Accused of
4 Murder in First Degree.


The case Of the state against Oscar
Reiquam, charged with the murder OF
Alfred Brustad, came up for hearing
before Justice Alden, at St. Cloud, at
10 o'clock, Wednesday.
Seven witnesses for the state were
examined. After hearing the evidence
OF these witnesses the prisoner was
discharged, the evidence, in the opin-
ion of Justice Alden, not being of a
nature to warrant binding Reiquam
over for trial before the district court.
The fac of the boy really hung on
the testimony of Almond Colbjornsen,
who was with him at the time of the
accident. His account of the affair
sustained the declaration of the &C.
cused that the shooting was accident
al. The boy has undergone two ex-
aminations, one before the coroner,
and another at the hearing in St.
Cloud; and, it appears, his life had
not been threatened, as was commonly
reported.
Attorneys Tolman and Calhoun ap-
peared for the defendant, but no testi-
mony was introduced other than. that
for the state.-Belgrade Tribune.

Death of Mary McCrimmon

Miss Mary McCrimmon of the town
of Harrison died at the home of her
father yesterday morning at about 4
O'Clock, her death resulting from con-
sumption. The funeral wilrbe held
Sunday, beginning at 10 o'clock.
Deceased was born in the town OF
Harrison Jan, 2, 1887. She was thus
in the twentieth year of her age at the
time of her death. The illness which
eliminated in her death first made it's
appearance in January last when she
was taken with a severe cold. From
that time her strength declined, and
she was finally advised by the doctor
to try a change of climate. Accord
ingly she spent two months in North
Dakota, but without avail, and two
weeks ago she returned home. Since
that time she grew weaker until the
end came. She was the only daughter
Old. McCrimmon, and her death will
be sad blow to her father, as we'll as
to her two brothers, Norman and
Thomas, who survive her. She suf-
fered the loss of her mother many
years ago.
The family will have the sympathy
of their many friends in their bereave-
ment.-Atwater Republican Press,

The Nose.


The nose is intended for breathing,
the mouth for speaking and eating.
Who has ever seen a horse breathing
otherwise than through his nostrils
Minute scientific investigation has re-
vealed the fact that the number of peo-
pie who breathe through their nostrils
are becoming gradually but surely: few
er In number. The consequence is that
the nostrils decrease in size, while 1t has
been found that the prevailing nose is
quite an inferior organ to that Of our
forefathers. 1t is we'll known phys
Illogical fact that unused muscles and
bones gradually disappear. Fish who
live in the dark, for instance, or the
mole, who resides underground, be-
come blind. Thus if we cease to use
our noses for breathing they will cease
to exist. They will become superf1u'

The large dredge boat owned by Gibbs &
Love, which has been ditching north oft own
the past two months or more, was partially
destroyed by fire about three O'Clock last
Friday morning. The crew had just finished
the first branch of the ditch the night before
and had moved the boat back as far as
Herman Wegner's place to make prepara-
lions for starting on a new branch They
decided not to work that night and the fire
in the furnace was banked up with soft coal
to keep until morning. 1t is supposed that
the gas and smoke from the soft coal accum-
ulated to such an extent that it caused
combustion as the door of the furnace was
blown off and found lying on the deck of the
boat. This no doubt scattered live coal all
over the deck and set fire to the wood work.
The boat was burned down to the deck and
considerable damage was done to the
machinery. The loss is estimated at between
$1,000 and $500 on boat and machinery to
! say nothing of all the time lost in making
the repairs which will take from four to six
| weeks. The loss is a very heavy one to the
Messrs. Gibbs s. Love and is total as they
carry no insurance whatever. This seems to
have been the first time since they started up
that they have not had a Waterman on at
night when not working and it certainly
proved disastrous.
The Commercial Club beld a meeting in
the band hall last Saturday night. The
question of fixing up roads leading to town
was given a lengthy discussion and a com.
mittee was appointed to. interview the town
board and road overseers to see what can be
accomplished along that line. The stablsf.
ment of a monthly market day was also dis.
cussed which met with the universal approx.
al of all present. A committee of five was
appointed to take charge and make the
necessary arrangements. The intention is
to hold the first market day on or about the
first Of September.
