IT'S A Low. BROW CASE.
Motley Crowd Witnessing the Trial OF
Harry johnson.

The trial of the case of the state
against Harry Johnson is drawing to
a close after two days hearing in the
district court without any evidence
having been adduced other than that
admitted by the defense. That john
son killed Dennis Dumford in a house
kept by Mae Burns is admitted, and
there is no question as to the date,
February %, and the manner of the
taking away of the deceased is also
admitted
To reach the court room it is nee
essary to wade through hall, the at
suffocation by the fumes of cigar
cites and cheap perfumes. In this
gloom is gathered a choice assortment
of the lower element of the city who
are there to gossip about the case and
await the ultimate outcome.
Dennis Dumford, the man who was
shot to death in the home of Mae
Burns belonged to one clique and his
slayer to the other, neither of them
have for years borne the best of repu-
tations. Dunlford was known as a
bully if nothing worse and it is admit
ted that the woman in the case had
much to fear from him. 1t is the
contention of the state, however. that
he was a coward when it came to TAX
ing even chances in a fight and that
he died while pleading for his life.
Johnson. the slayer, belonged to the
same element as Dumford and seemed
to have attained position of vantage,
having succeeded Dumford in the az
fections of Mae Burns. All the parties
belong to the lower strata OF society
If they are entitled to be admitted on
any level. Standing about In the
smoke burdened halls of the court
house, the companions OF the two
men are to be seen. Low receding
brows mark the majority of them and
over the forehead the hair is combed
low parted in the middle and smooth
ed with a scented oil of some kind.
1t is to this element that most of
the petty crimes of the city can be
traced to say nothing of the more
brutal crimes such as the one that
Johnson is now being tried for. The
contention of the state is that Dunn
ford came to the Burns home and
raised a row and that later Johnson
came in answer to a telephone mes
sage from the Burns woman who with
the rest of the inmates or the house
had been abused by Dumford.
1t is further claimed that with the
appearance of Johnson with revolver
Dumford dropped into chair
and pleaded for his life and that while
he was so seated the shot was fired
which entered his head and ended his
life. The stories of the witnesses diff
fer, as they always do in cases of this
kind. and the time of the state has
been taken up today in laying grounds
for the impea chment of the. principal
witness for the defense. Mae Burns.

GAVE AWAY 10000 HOMES.
Acreage Under Homestead and Entry
Laws, 1853, $3.50 Acres.

Washington, Oct s.-The United
States government gave away in the
neighborhood of 100000 farms to
homestead settlers during the past
year according to the report of the
commissioner of the general land Of
fee The acreage taken under the
homestead and other laws aggregated
17S53,636. Divided into $50 acre
tracts, this would make III, go
farms But in many cases the home
steaders took less than 160 acres.
Homestead settlement took place in
all the public land states, with the ex-
ception of Louisiana and Wyoming.
According to the figures. Louisiana
has 5446 acres more public land now
than it had last year, and Wyoming
1143s99 acres more. The officials
say the only way to account for it rs
that homesteaders have been relin-
ouishing claims in those states and
taking them elsewhere. z, Alaska re-
