By George Davi..)

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 2S.-There
is CONSERVATION in the ranks of those
who are following the lost cause of
the majority leader in the house. A
few days ago Major Buttz offered
resolution in the house requiring the
committee on apportionment to con-
slider plan outlined in the resolution
for the re-apportionment of the men,
bers of the senate and house of re-
presentatives so that the eastern and
middle counties of the state would to
a great extent, retain their present
representation and at the same time
give the newer portions of the state
a fair consideration. The fight against
the printing of the resolution and its
references to the committee was made
by Messrs. Sorley and Tufte and the
resolution was not allowed to go to
the committee. 1t now seems that
there is a decided sentiment develop
ing among the members to take the
matter of the re--apportionment into
their own hands irrespective of any
organization and the indications are
that majority will insist upon a
reasonable and fair bill for all parts
of the state. The change in senti-
ment on the matter has been so pro-
nounced that bill was prepared by
Major Buttz altogether different from
that proposed in his resolution and
the danger of having the representa-
ton in the old counties reduced be-
came so apparent that the house or
ganization at once got busy.
The plan outlined in the present bill
follows:
The first district shall consist of
the townships of Walhalla, st. Joseph,
Neche, Pembina, Bathgate, Carlisle,
Joliet, Midland, Lincoln and Drayton,
in the county of Pembina, and be en-
titled to one senator and one repre-
1 sentative.
&, The second district shall consist of
\ the townships of st. Thomas, city of
Est. Thomas. Crystal, city of Crystal,
Hamilton, town of Hamilton, Cavalier,
Etown of Cavalier, village of Canton,
EAvon, Liberty, Akra, Beaulieu, Thing
Hyalla, Gardner, Park, Flora and Lo-
Adema, in the county of Pembina, and
Nbe entitled to one senator and two re-
Representatives.

PWO SOLDIERS MUST STAND
TRIAL FOR CRIME OF MURDER


ties claimed that the case came under
their Jurisdiction and that the two ac-
cused soldiers should be tried in the
civil courts. The war department,
however, denied the right of the civil
authorities to interfere in the matter.
The question has been argued in the
courts here on several different oc-
casions and the final result is that the
contention of the civil authorities was
upheld. Owing to the long delay in
bringing the case to trial, three i'm
portant witnesses are dead and several
are missing.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 2S.-The
hearing of the injunction suit brought
by Montgomery, Ward & Co. of Chi
cago against the South Dakota retail
merchants association and others was
resumed today. This is the case in
which the big Chicago mail order
house seeks to restrain the South Da-
kota retail merchants from maintain
ing an alleged boycott against whole
salers and jobbers who sell goods to
the catalogue houses. The conditions
leading up to the warfare between the
retail merchants and the mail order
concerns have of late years become
general throughout the west and in
lesser degree in other sections of
the country. AS a consequence the
decision in the present case is await
ed with much interest.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Jan. 2S.-When the trial
of Harry K. Thaw was resumed before
Justice Fitzgerald in the criminal
branch of the supreme court today,
there remained five jurors to be chos-
en- from among less than one hundred
talesmen who remain to be examined.
1t is now generally conceded that the
taking of testimony will not be possi-
BILE before Wednesday.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw came into the
court room early today, arriving
nearly half an hour before the morn
ing session was scheduled to begin,
She was accompanied by Miss May
Mckenzie.
Miss Mckenzie today declared there
was absolutely no truth in the report
that there had been differences in the
Thaw family, and said it was especial
ly untrue that any dissension had
arisen over her presence.
Fifteen talesmen had been examined
during the first hour and not one had
gone through the questions pro-
pounded by the district attorney fur
ther than one dealing with the matter
of what opinion they might have
formed. Charles Newton, retired
business man aged about IS years, was
selected as juror No. at 1905 o'clock.
The court ordered a recess in the
Thaw trial until 2 p. M, on account
of break in the heating apparatus
which made the court room too cold
for comfort

vANscHUYvER, MURDERER
OF GlLLILAND DISCHARGED

The preliminary examination OF Sam
VanSchuyver. to determine whether or not
the killing Of A. L. Gilliland at Beaver on
the Milwaukee line, on the 13th inst was
felonious, was held at Medora last Satur-
day afternoon and evening.
Theodore Hannaford. who was the only
eye witness of the homicide, testified in
behalf of the State. while a half dozen
parties, including the defendant. testified
in his behalf. The jist of the testimony in
behalf of the defendant was that the de-
ceased had assaulted and beaten up several
parties just prior to the time he entered
the tent. where he met his death, and was
man of desperate character. Altho the
story as to how the homicide occurred was
not shaken, his testimony was to large
extent discredited by the testimony of
several, that he had been engaged with
the deceased in assaulting several parties
and promiscuously shooting things up just
prior to the fatal affray.
Justice N. D. Nichols, before whom tue
examination was held. considered the evi-
dence offered against the accused of too
uncertain character to justify him in
holding VanSchuyver to answer in the dis
trict court to charge of murder. and
therefore discharged him.

but has made number Of trips into the
country--and heuce his enthusiasm.
He says the development of that section
in the past two years has been little short
of marvellous: that where the cattle lately
roamed undisturbed farm houses now dot
the prairie in all directions and this fall
the binder was singing its merry song all
over the land. MIR. Dunham also states
the class of farm houses put up by the
settlers is of superior order. and all goes
to show that that the soil must be of excel
lent quality to raise the splendid crops
harvested this fail.
| The farmers of that section do not de,
pend entirely upon grain, but each of them
has fine band of sheep. herd of cattle
or bunch of horses, or. maybe all three,
but the predominant issue with the settlers
is farming.
Of the people he has the highest praise
