THREE DIE on SCHOOL SHIP
FATAL ACCIDENT ON coURoNNE.
OF THE FRENCH NAVY.
ereech-Biock Of Big Gun Blown OF
During Target Practfce-Five
Men Are Injured.

Toulon, Aug. 3.-The breech- block
of a hundred millimeter gun was
blown off Friday on board the gun
merry school ship Couronne during tar
get practice in Salins roadstead, and
three persons were killed and five
wounded.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife and the bodies of the dead men
were SO badly mutilated as to be al
most unacceptable. Three of those
wounded are in serious condition.
AS soon as he learned of the acct
dent, Admiral Marquis sent the ar
mored cruiser Latouche Treville to
the assistance of the Couronne. The
dead and wounded were then taken
aboard the cruiser, which conveyed
them to the naval hospital of St..
Mandrier, where everything had been
prepared for their reception.
The accident caused a sensation in
the town, where most of the members
of the crew of the Couronne belong,
and flags are at half mast as sign of
mourning.
The cause of the explosion is a
mystery. It was believed at first that
the accident was due to the breech-
closing mechanism not working, but a
subsequent investigation failed to es-
tablish this as a cause. A question
was also raised concerning the quality
of the powder used in the gun, but
nothing tangible was ascertained. The
commander of the Couronne has
sealed all the guns on board the yes
sci with view Of having a board of
inquiry investigate the explosion
A similar accident occurred on
board the Couronne April 10, when
three men were killed and a number
wounded.

GRAND JURY AT CLINTON, ILL.,,
VOTES TRUE BILLS CHARGING
THEM WITH MURDER.
Evidence Is Said to Be All circum.
stantiai-State Now Puts Forward
Theory That Former Bankers
First Spouse Was Smothered.

Clinton, ILL.,, Aug Fired H. Ma
gill and his wife of 26 days, Faye Ora
ham Magill, were indicted for murder
Thursday afternoon by the special
grand jury called to weigh the sus-
picious circumstances surrounding the
death of Mrs Pet" Magill, the bank
er's first wife. on the night of May 30.
The grand jury did not deliberate
long over the evidence After the last
witness had retired States Attorney
Miller was excluded from the room
and the shirt sleeved farmers had
their minds made up in half an hour.
The word was carried to Magill and
his wife in Jail, but they did not break
down. They declared they were ready
for trial and had expected this. @
1t may be stated authoritatively that
the grand jury in all of the four days
session found no direct evidence of
murder against either the man or the
girl. There was plenty of evidence Of
a serious nature, but all was circum-
stantial ~s~v.=-.-rsu, 4 49,. ~ :sa;s:
State Pushes New Theory.
That which turned the tide against
Magill and his wife and put the MUIR
der vote in the realm of certainty was
the testimony Of Chicago physicians
that they could give no adequate
pathological reason for the woman's
death. This gave an opportunity to
play up a new and startling theory,
that Magill had smothered his wife.
The states attorney took full advant-
age of this opportunity to inject a
greater amount of reasonable doubt
in the minds of the jurors.
Added to this was the additional
fact which has leaked out, that the
friends of Magill, who we're relied up
on to testify as to the authenticity of
the letters, backed down before the
jury.
Sixth Count Is Quashed.
Clinton, ILL.,, Aug. 3.-Judge Coch-
ran Friday sustained a motion to
quash the sixth count of both indict-
ments against Fred Magill and his
wife. He overruled the motion to
quash the other indictments, holding
that they we're good.
The defense Immediately filed a mo-
ton to consolidate the two cases, SO
that both husband and wife would be
tried together, and the court took this
under advisement. The defense then
asked that the cases be set for trial as
speedily as possible, and Judge Coch-
ran announced that November 8 would
be the earliest possible date, but after
considerable argument on this sub
ject, the judge adjourned court until
Saturday morning, by which time he
will decide whether the trials shall be-
gin next week or in November. The
defendants were then arraigned and
pleaded not guilty. It's. r." .-..--

CITY COUNCIL HELD
MEETING TUES
DAY NIGHT
Ordinance Anent Water Works
Proposition Passed Its
First Reading

At the meeting of the city council
of East Grand Forks held last evening,
several matters of Importance were
up for discussion. Among the
propositions that came up was the
first reading of an ordinance calling
a special election to be held for the
purpose OF determining whether or
not the city shall issue bonds for Il
water works system. The ordinance
provides for an issue of thirty bonds
in denominations of $1,000 each, pay
able in twenty-five years, with interest
at 5 per cent. The state law provides
for levy of one mill to provide a
sinking fund for the payment Of the
bonds at maturity, and the ordinance
provides for levy for the payment OF
the interest. The ordinance will not
become effective until it passes a
second reading by the city council by
two-thirds vote. and is also au-
thorized by a vote of the city, two
thirds majority being required. The
election will be called for Monday,
June 5.
An other matter OF considerable i'm
portance was the discussion OF plans
for the new city hall, to be erected to
take the place of that one recently
burned. The architect who had been
commissioned to prepare preliminary
plans submitted his sketches and these
were generally inspected by the wis.,
tors as we'll as the aldermen. The
plans provide for an attractive two
story structure 40X57 feet in area for
the city hall and Jail building proper.
with an addition at the rear for the
fire department, similar to the old
one. The architect advised, however,
making both buildings new through
out, except that the basement walls OF
the city hall will be utilized The use
of pressed brick for facing, with stone
trimmings is contemplated. The in
terror arrangement will be somewhat
similar to that of the former build
ings, but the structure will be con-
siderably larger, giving more room for
the city Offices and also accommoda-
ting a vault. If the city can secure
the adjoining lot, the fire department
portion will be enlarged by the addi-
ton of a stable and hay loft on the
north side, giving more room for the
fire apparatus. The architects esti-
mate of the cost, including plumbing
and heating plant is $4,000. Presl-
dent Barlow appointed Aldermen
Sherlock, Craig and Westburg a COM
mittee to consider the building propo-
sition and the plans, and it is intend
ed later to call mass meeting OF
citizens to voice an expression of pub
lie opinion in the matter.
City Engineer J. j. Smith, of Grand
Forks, made a report on the condition
of the old Red lake river bridge. The
report shows that the bridge structure
proper is in good shape, the only
trouble being in the planking and the
joists supporting it.
The bill of the Valley View for
printing briefs was again presented to
the council. but was laid over till a
later meeting.

CASE BEFORE UNITED STATES COURT
Action Against Crookston Lumber
Company for Damages on Trial
In Fergus Falls.

Federal court opened yesterday
morning at Fergus Falls with Judge
Morris on the bench and the first
case called on an important calendar
was the case brought by Mrs. Frank
Boutin against the Crookston Lumber
company for damages for the death
of her husband who was killed in the
mill over year ago by coming in
contact with the saw which severed
his body in twain. The jury in the
original trial gave verdict for $1,000
in favor of the plaintiff but the de-
PENDANT carried the case to the cir
cult court of appeals at st. Louis and
the verdict was reversed and the case
was sent back for new trial, the
superior court holding that there had
been contributory negligence on the
part of Boutin. The second trial of
the case started and the outcome will
be watched closely.

al standing in his party and with the
country at large.
BY this time everyone who is posted
on state affairs here knows that Mr..
Hansbrough has been and is one of
the presidents most ardent support
ers, and that the senator is openly
working for Roosevelt's denomination
In 1908. There are many reasons for
the expediency of this move. The
assurance of the continuation of the
general policies alone seem to make
1t necessary in the opinion of his
warmest supporters. Senator Hans
brough himself says on this point:
No one as yet has furnished any
good reason why Mr.. Roosevelt should
be retired in the very midst of the
fruition of his policies. The people
believe in him and results are DEM
onstrating that their faith is we'll
founded. There remain many wrongs
to be corrected. The trust problem
is stlll unsettled, and the policy of
the regulation and control of inter-
state railway corporations has not
yet passed beyond the experimental
stage. AS an illustration of the way
in which each individual citizen is
affected by the operation of oppres-
sive combinations, the farmers of the
great northwest have only to consid-
er the injustice that is being inflicted
upon. them by the International Har-
vester trust, with its combination
prices, its growing monopoly Of all
agricultural implements and it's Sc
cret rebate agreement with the rail-
roads. The day is near by when, un-
der the square deal" system inau-
gurated by President Roosevelt, this
trust must face a federal judge. It
cannot come too sOon."
