ice Of DR.. Brown since his commission, and
were marked excellent
In making a brief final argument Attorney
Hoehling reviewed the evidence adduced
and said he could find no legal authority
constituting and making necessary the oath
administered to the candidates taking the
examination for promotion. Taking up the
specifications in which the charges were en-
bodied. he contended that they consisted
solely OF two pOints-the allegation that Dr.
Brown had been guilty of unlawful conduct
in respect to his oath and that he had copied
from the papers Of DR.. Pease. AS to the
first, counsel claimed that the specifications
were defective because the contention that
the oath was not prescribed by law, and as
to the second Mr.. Hoehling asserted that
there was no direct evidence to show that
any copying had been done in the exami-
nation. and none at all to show that Dr.
Brown had copied from DR.. Pease.
Differences Pointed Out.
Counsel also pointed out many differences
In the examination papers which had been
coupled in the testimony Of Surgeon Gate
wood as showing alleged similarities. In
addition, attention was called to the fact
found in the desk of DIR. Brown and that
the alleged similarity between the papers
of DIR. Brown and other writings were con-
fined to the subject of anatomy and the
report of the commission which investigated
typhoid fever in Cuba.
Judge Advocate Snyder submitted the
case for the prosecution with the state
ment that the oath administered to the
candidates at the opening of the examina-
ton was one of long standing, and was
provided for under the naval regulations.
He said he thought 1t also had statutory
authority but. In any event, he declared,
1t was binding under the rules which are
recognized In the navy as law. Tho only
reference of the judge advocate to the tes-
timony was the comment that 1t spoke for
itself.

AN ABUNDANCE OF GOLD.

Reports from South Africa are to the
effect that this year the gold output will
be more than SIoo,ooo,ooo, and as there
is no diminution of the gold production
of other countries, it follows that 1906
will far surpass all previous figures.
The record of cures made by the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters far
surpasses that of all other stomach
medicines. The reason for its success
is very plain when you remember the
fact that it has often effected cures
after other remedies had failed. If you
have never tried the Bitters get a bottle
today and see for yourself what a won-
dertul medicine it is in cases of poor
appetite, headache, vomiting, cramps,
diarrhoea. dyspepsia, indigestion and
malaria. Don't start on your vacation
without taking along a supply of the
Bitters to counterfeit the effect of

Young Horse Thief.

Sheriff Hartung returned last Satur.
day with the horse thief who stole the
Dickinson experimental station mare
and buggy the night Of July 20. He is
a young fellow, about twenty, and gives
his name as Henry G. Murphy. OF
Anoka, MINI. At Evarts where he
was arrested. he registered as Robert
Murphy.
Murphy must have driven rapidly
south from Dickinson with the stolen
horse. for the following night he was at
Seim, a distance of 100 miles. From
Seim he headed for Evarts, taking Jack
Mccarthy, a land locator, along with
him. They drove IS miles the first
day and as the second and crossed
over to Evarts Wednesday morning,
August l..
Here Murphy wanted to trade the
horse and told so manv different stories
as to the price that he paid for it that
he was suspected at M
As soon as Supt. l.. r. Waldron
learned that his horse had probably
been in Seim, he had authorities here
wire to Evarts to be on the watch, but
Mr.. Waldron was there in two days,
following a hard drive overland, or
about the time the telegram vas re.
ceived. Again when Sheriff Hartung
wired to Evarts that he was coming and
that Murphy should be held, it took
two days to get the telegram delivered
and he was there as quickly as the
message.
The night before Sheriff Hartung
reached Evarts, Murphy made his es.
cape from the town marshall and was
not recaptured until the afternoon of
the following day. He was out about
IS miles and the Stark county officer
picked him up, notwithstanding the
town marshal and county sheriff and
others had been in search all the time.
Murphy tells the ridiculous story that
he bought the horse of a gambler by
the name of Tom Hughes rear Glen
dive and insists that he drove from Is
miles west of Dickinson to Seim the
Sunday following the evening the
horse was stolen in this city. He has
told a great MANY different stories, and
one act Of his since being lodged in
Jail here should be ample proof that he
stole the property. He writes a letter,
purportlng to be to his mother at
IAAONoS NA'iAAV Saying lAot IN nOueHt Il
horse and buggy at Glendive and
drove to Evarts via Seim and was
there arrested for stealing, etc and
that he is out of the needed funds with
which to employ an attorney. Young
Murphy has written this, which can be
used as evidence against him, in face
of the fact that the horse was in the
city until stolen and driven south and
three days later found at warts.
Murphy gives the appearance Of
having received better training than his
stealing act would indicate. He will
undoubtedly have ample time at the
penitentiary to reflect upon the error of
his way.
Supt. Waldron drove his horse to
Mandan and came home the first of the
week to look after matters at the
station. He expects to have the horse
home again in a day or two. The mare
stood the long trip finely, and there are
few single teams that could have made
the drive in the comparativly short
time.
