there was a long conference between
counsel for both sides and Justice Fitz-
gerald, at the END of which Mr. Jerome
made a formal request that the juror be
excused by common consent Justice
Fitzgerald acted on the request at once.

afternoon session, for two jurors had been
promptly chosen in the morning to MI

Walker.

We May Have to
Fight The Japs
Considerable war Tak-What War Would Mean Between
the Two Countries United States Would win Out in
Two or Three Years--Prices Would go Up.

The talk of war between the
United States and Japan seems
to be growing more common and
the Independent would not be
surprised if Uncle Sam would
have to give the little brown con-
ceited fellows a good spanking.
Roosevelt has ordered the bulk Of
the big war vessels to the Pacific
coast to be in readiness for any
trouble.
The United States does not
want trouble with Japan, but will
take no Sass" from the husky
little country. The Jals are still
sore because the people of San
Francisco will not allow the JAP
anese children to attend school
with the white children, and per.
haps the country is jealous of our
country besides. We believe
that San Francisco is wrong in
keeping the Japanese children in
separate schools, but would not
like to see the United States give
an inch at this time.
Japan would be looking for
more trouble soon anyway and if
we've got to give her a good
licking, we might just as we'll do
it one time as another.

RYDER MAN SHOT
At CELEBRATION
Thorwald Ellison Nearly Killed
on the Fourth of July After a
Drunken Spree Bone of His
Right Arm is Shattered.

Thorwald Ellison, a young
man twenty-five years OF age,
was shot with a shotgun in the
right arm by a companion
near Ryder on the Fourth. The
men had been celebrating and
got too much of the fiery liquid
into their systems when the
shooting took place. 1t is a
wonder that Ellison was not
killed outright. AS it was, the
bone OF the upper part of his
right arm was badly splintered,
and it will he a long time before
he will be able to use the arm.
A large number Of shot enter
ed the arm, all of which have
been removed. Ellison is lying
in the county hospital at this
place, and the Independent is in
formed that he will get we'll, un-
less some unforeseen trouble
arises. AS the shooting was
done in self defense, no arrests
have been made.

Which Alex. LarrOn Met His
Death as Tt Id by The Inde-

spOndent.

Alex. Larren, tho notorious horse
thief was shot and killed by Thos. Kerr,
a farmer living in the Turtle mountains,
near the Bottineau- -Rollette county line.
Larron, who escaped from the Devils
Lake Jail last winter, has been at large
since. He was in the vicinity Of the
Kerr home for several davs and fright
ened several women of the neighbor-
hood, who asked Kerr for his protection
Kerr secured his 80 30 rife and lay for
the man who soon came along. Asked
as to where he was going, the thief re-
Piled, "By , am going home and
you can't stop me-" With that the thief
attempted to pull his gun when Kerr
opened fire. The first bullet passed thru
Larrons hip, the second struck him in
the side, and the third entered his head,
the bullet c6ming out the mouth. The
man died instantly. Larron gave him
self up. The body was taken to Bot
tineau where it was given decent

onerated.

Wilson's clothing store, was unit

quiet affair and none of 'Billie's'
friends guessed that the import

soon. billie" has secured a
lucky prize, for his bride is one
of the most beautiful and popu-
lar Of Minot's fair ladies. "Bil-

In case of an early war, we
would lose the Philippines tenn
porarily. The main fight would
be entered about the Hawaiian
Islands. The big Jap war ves-
sells would make at once for those
islands and try to secure posses
sion. We would have to send
our ships there also, and if the
Jap ships would arrive before
ours did, we would have to RELY
upon the coast defenses for a
short time.
There's no doubt as to the out
come of the war. 1t might take
two or three years to whip the
Japs, but with our great resour-
ces, we could do it. The Japa-
nese are weakened from. the Rus
sian war anyway. and are finan-
cially embarrassed. A war would
mean a great raise in the price of
farm products, especially wheat
and the price of cattle would go
soaring.
The Japs are brave fighters.
They have no fear of death, es-
pecially if it comes in a war for
they believe that they will be re-
warded in the hereafter for their
bravery.
