MOODY'S VIEW OF
PAPER TRUST DECISION

Washington, May 1I.-Attorney Gen
eral Moody upon being questioned re-
garding the significance of the actions
of the defendants in Withdrawing their
answer to the governments bill in the
so-called paper trust case today at St.
Padi said after reviewing the history
Eof the case:
During the summer. and autumn of
1905 a large amount Of testimony was
taken which tended to show the exist
ence Of an illegal combination as charg-
ed in the bill. During the taking of
testimony certain of the defendant cor
porations refused to exhibit their books
and answer questions on the ground
that such evidence was immaterial and
THAT it would tend TO incrimnate them.
Proceedings were thereupon instituted
III the Uniteds States circuit court for
the United States circuit court for the
district of Minnesota to punish for con-
tempt for refusing, ~ produce the books

MURDER Is
THE CHARGE
YOUNG GRAND FORKS
MAN WAS ARRESTED
lie Is Suspected of Having Murdered
Horse Buyer Stewart In Minnesota
Prisoner Has Worked At Black
smith Trade in Several Towns.

|. Grand Forks, N. D., May II.-Alex-
ander Mckenzie, a young man 26
years OF age, was arrested at Melti-
mock yesterday on a charge Of muir
dering John Stewart, horse dealer,
whose body was found alongside the
public highway in Roseau county,
Mimi, several weeks ago.
Mckenzie is a blacksmith and has
worked at Mekinock, Ardoch and 9th
er points in that neighborhood He
and Stewart, who lived in the vicinity
'of Kenmare, this state, were at Ar
doch last fall, where Stewart appeared
to be the banker, paying the bills OF
Mckenzie. They left there for Ros-
eau, and remained there during the
winter, it is alleged. Both suddenly
disappeared and several weeks later
the body of Stewart was found along
the highway, with bullet wound in
the head to tell the story of how he
met death.
Suspicion was at once directed to-
ward Mckenzie, and Sheriff ri IN
mond has spent several weeks in trac-
ing him, He was at Meltinock two
weeks ago and went from there TO
Ardoch and from Ardoch to Rock
Lake, but he was unable to catch any
thing more than fleeting news OF the
man he sought. He conferred with
Constable c. c. Stewart at Mekinock,
and two days ago Stewart located the
man and advised the Minnesota off
cial, who arrived yesterday morning.
Together they apprehehded Mckenzie,
and he was taken through here last
night on his way to Roseau, Constable
Stewart accompanying Sheriff Rich
mond as far as East Grand Forks.
Mckenzie denies that he has ever
been in Roseau county, but admitted
that he kenw Stewart, but denied that
months.
Robbery was supposed to have been
the motive of the murder, Stewart be
ing known to have considerable
money and a number of notes OF same
value, in addition TO a horse and out
fit.
Nothing at all was found, on the
dead body alongside the public high
way Mckenzie first arrived at Ar
doch several weeks ago, and worked a
day or two for blacksmith. From
there he zwent to Mekinock, and also
visited at Rock Lake, or near there
and started back from there with !
horse. He claimed that he ran into /
wire fence with the result that the
horse was so severely injured that il
had to be killed He made the re-
lmainder of the trip on a train, ana
carried saddle and bride with i1in.
The capture of Mckenzie is regard
ed by Sheriff Richmond as an import
ant one, and he paid Constable Stew
art a. high compliment for his work
in locating the man wanted.

MRS. HUBLER GRANTED
DIVORCE AT MINOT

Minot, May 1.-THE Huber di-
,vorce case was heard in the court
'chainbers of Judge +. B. Goss. Mrs.
Hubler was represented by Bosard &
and Mr.. Huber by Palda &
Burke. Mrs. Huber was in the court
room but the. doctor was not present.
Mrs. Huber was granted divorce
by Judge Goss on grounds of de-
sertion and non-support. The custody
of the child was given to Mrs. Huber
and She was also granted SIS per
month alimony until N NoYenber /, 1000,
then SIS per month until further or
der of the court and the defendant
was further directed to pay to plan
tiff an alimony payment OF $500 by
November.in additiontothe above, and
the defendant to execute to plaintiff
party promiSsory notes to secure an
evidence OF monthly payments.
The testimony shows that two years
ago, May 1904, the defendant induced
plaintiff to go to Germany on a visit
and when she was once there, defend
ant entirely failed to send her any
money for support, sending her but
SIS in two years so she was compelled

could. Out OF consideration for the
child plaintiff offered none Of the SEN
sational evidence that the previous re-
cord of this case might cause to be
anticipated. The defendant, DIR. Hub
Ter, is practically physical.wreck and
was probably unfit to be in court on
account of his excessive use of intox-
icants and drugs.
The plaintiff is a bright and hand
some German lady Of about IS years
Of age with many friends in this part
OF the state and also iii the eastern
part where she lived for four years.
The friends of, both parties hope that
Dr. Huber will change his course and
continue the practice OF dentistry as
he is conceded to be one Of the best
dentists in the state and whenahe once
shows that he is entitled to the sup
port Of the people OF Minot he will un-
Houbtedly again have a good practice
