STATE SPREADS
A NET AT ROSEAU
MURDER OF STEWART TRACED TO
YOUNG MCKENZIE.
A New Witness Saw Him Following the
Victim, and Still Another Tells of
Mckenzie Spending Money Lavishly
the Day After the Murder Was Com
mitted.
SnAnial to The journal.

Special to The Journal
Roseau, Mimi, Aug. THE state has closed
its side Of the controversy In the Mckenzie
murder trial. From the sparsely settled condi-
ton Of the country in which the crime was
committed 1t seems impossible to trace the de-
PENDANT very the murder, but sufficient
evidence is being introduced to make strong
case.
Mckenzie takes all the proceedings in a hui
morous way, and Is continually smiling at the
testimony introduced against him. For man
who Is facing the gallows he shows surprising
nerve. Nothing seems to affect him, and when
he is consulted By his counsel he is continually
smiling.
John Ehlert was recalled and testified that
when he met Mckenzie on Dec. 81 that he had
a shotgun his shoulder.
Gertrude Javelln testified that on Dec. 81 she
saw two men pass her house; was an old
man who was walking slow, and the other was
q tall, straight man with q black coat who
was walking fast. They were about forty rods
apart when they passed her house. They were
both going In the same direction. She had men
toned this to Peter Ecklund when he was at
her house on that date.
Saw Blood on the Snow.
Peter Ecklund was called and corroborated
Mrs. Jayelins testimony. He also stated that
he was driving a colt along the highway that
day. and that at about II o'clock he heard two
reports of gun, one following the other about
one minute apart, maybe less. The reports
scared his colt. Shortly after that he passed
the place near where the dead body was
found and saw in the road large spot of blood.
There was snow on the ground. and blood had
soaked into it.
He also saw marks in the snow of human
feet and place where something had been
dragged into the brush. He thought somebody
had killed deer in the woods and had dragged
it to the road and put it on a sled, the sled
marks Of which were visible in the snow.
This corroborated the testimony Of John En-
lert, who testified he had driven on the road q
short time before and had met Mckenzie fol-
lowing Stewart.
John Grimstad testified that he was the mail
carrier between Roseau and Wannaska and that
on Jan. he carried Mckenzie from Wannaskn
to Roseau, and that he had plenty of money,
which he was spending IN the saloons and else
where.
o. P. Meline stated that he lived in North
Dakota, and that Stewart had LETT with him
in October horse to keep; that he had received
two letters from Stewart respecting the horse
in one Of which he was told that Stewart would
be after 1t about April /. Stewart also left
with him a saddle, revolver and belt full OF
cartridges.

An Anticipated Grindstone.

An a~ntiquated grindstone was taken
out of the earth five feet under the
surface at the excavation for the base
ment at the Odd Fellows block on
the square Monday. The stone was
in a good state Of preservation and
one onlooker remarked that it was
petrifed. 1t probably has a history
and were it talkative could tell of
the Indian chiefs who ground flint
arrow heads on it's surface, and could
relate incidents wherein the red men
OF the jungles reveled in the sun dance
and squaws kept time to the tom-tom
dressed in their native Indian garb.
But as the stone didn't talk and no
old timer remembered it, the curio
was laid away as a memento OF by
gone days.

AN EXPLANATION.

The DEMOCRAT is not only late
this week, but owing to the non-ar
rival of our r~eady-print, we are up
against a hard proposition, and it is
necessary to issue a half sheet. 1t
is probably more disagreeable to us
than anyone else, but it is one of the
disadvantages of being in the clutches
of an arbitrary newspaper trust. We
hope to be fixed in the future 50 that
chs may not happen again, and ask
the lenience of our subscribers in this
unfortunate instance.
