Among the side attractions at
the Hubbard county fair to be held
Sept 11-12-13 will be the Akeley
Tribune fve-legged COW and her
calf, some six weeks old.
The COW is a wonderful animal.
The fifth leg protrudes from her
back and she appears to handle it
without any inconvenience whatever.
She is even more shrewd than the
average COW. Her calf was about
three weeks old before it could be
located, although she came up each
evening with the herd.
She outwitteda dozen or more
boys, who were offered a tempting
reward for the recovery Of the calf.
James Dooley, telephone constructor
for the Red River Lumber Co., fin
ally captured the calf. The five
legged COW appears to be the leader
Of the herd and evidently has hypno-

THREE DAYS GOOD RACES
FOR THE COUNTY FAIR
Race Track Is in Good Condition and the Best Horses Will
Be on Bemid Track....Will Make Better Time
Than at Hbbing.

Bemidji Bell, Catherine West. (Con-
ditional.)
The races, as re-arranged by Sec
retary Rutledge, will give those
who attend the second annual fair
of the Beltrami County Agricultural
association on September 27-2S-29
the fastest contests among the
speedy side-wheelers and trotters
that were ever pulled off in northern
Minnesota.
In either the free for-all, the 2:1O
or the 2:15 class races, it is certain
that a track record will be estab-
lished as low as 2:I5, which will be
~ seconds faster than the track
record at Hibbing, which the horse
men there have boasted of so fire.
quently of late. Certain it is that
there is some rare sport in the race
line in store for the patrons of the
fair.
All the horses which were secured
at Hibbing arrived this forenoon in
charge of their drivers and were
taken to the race tracks.
The track is in elegant condition
the rain with the strong wind of
yesterday and the sunshine today
having given those in charge of the
track the opportunity of working
over the ground until it is almost as
level as a floor. Conditions could
not be better for very fast racing.

JURY SECURED IN MUM CASE.
Estate RESTED AT NOON
The Jury Was Completed Last Evening County Attorney
Completed States Case at Noon.The Defense Expects
to Complete Case Tomorrow

-s=Mr.=FHnkley Consumed but very
little time in outlining the case of
the state to the jury. He reviewed
the history of the crime briefly, stat
ing that the state would show that
on the morning of the tragedy wit
nesses had heard shot in the build
ing occupied by the defendant Mum
and Mrs. Franklin as a restaurant.
Continuing Mr.. Funkley stated
that he would show that after the
shooting, Mum came from the build
ing revolver in hand and told
witness:
Take gun, I have shot Franklin. "
The state would also show by
other witnesses the events leading
up to the shooting and the subse-
quent death of Franklin.
The first witness called by the
state was T. J. Williams, who testi-
fled that he had known Frank
lin since March, before the shooting.
Williams conducts hardware store
at Baudette, across the river from
Spooner, and Franklin had been
employed by him as timer. On
the evening before the shooting,
which occurred about 1 o'clock in
the morning, Franklin had worked
in the tin shop until 9 o'clock.
Emil Engebretsen, who operates a
saloon in the building adjoining that
which Mum and Mrs. Franklin
occupied as a restaurant, was the
next witness called. He testified to
having seen Mum earlier in the
evening, and about o'clock in the
morning his attention was attracted
by shot next door. He went to
the back door, but found nothing

The jury in the case against Mar
tin S. Mum, on trial for the murder
of August Franklin, at Spooner
June IA, was completed yesterday
evening, aud this morning County
Attorney Henry Funkley opened the
case for the state.
T. The selection of the jury occupied
more than had been expected, and
there was apparently an aversion
among those called to serve in the
case. Mum was indicted by the
grand jury at this term of court for
the murder in the first degree, and
from the examination of the jurors,
the state expects to bring about a
conviction under the degree charged
in the indictment, the county attor-
ney having avoided getting jurors to
serve in the case who expressed any
scruples against the inficting of the
death penalty in case of conviction.
There we're only a few people
present in the court room this morn
ing when the case was opened, nearly
all in attendance being witnesses in
the case, attorneys and attaches of
of the court.

unusual. and then out through the
front. There he heard Mum call
for him to come. Mum asked him
to come into the restaurant, stating
he had shot Franklin. He accom-
panied him in the building and Mum
wanted him to take the revolver with
which his had done the shooting.
Witness remained in the building
with Mum until the marshal came.
Asked about the location of different
articles in the room, the witness gave
minute description.
From the examination of the wit
ness it would appear that the state
would establish there had been no
scufle between the men. Witness
testified that all the articles of
furniture were in their regular places
and there was no sign of any disturb
ance. A pan of eggs on the table
underneath which Franklin's body
was partly lying were unbroken.
Witness also described the location
of the body and other details.
Cross.examined by Clough moth
ing that would change the testimony
of the witness in the main was
brought out.
Other witnesses followed includ-
ing the doctor who performed the
post mortem examination and at
noon the state rested.
E. D. Clough will open this after
noon for the defence, and in addi-
ton to other witnesses will place
Mum on the stand to testify in his
own behalf.
1t is expected the case will reach
the jury by tomorrow night, the
jurors on the regular panel having
been excused until Friday morning.

fast playing of all the members of the

on both sides, however, was of the fast

their ability as ball players and the

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
(By T ORTIZ

Peewee Minzler takes to second base
like a German to limburger. The two
games the little fellow has played in
this position for the locals have been
the confectionery.
Messrs. Cameron, Jessup, Morris and
Wiltermood, star sluggers of the local
outfit, have been suffering of late with
relapse of the batting eye, but they are
due for a speedy recovery. These
Quakers should figure among the
league sluggers.
It's a rare thing to see Wiltermood
credited with more than three times at
bat in game. In the game Satur-
day he gets credit with being at bat on
ly one time. He faced the pitcher
tnree times The first time he laid
down a sacrifice hit. The second time
he drew his base on balls and the third
time he struck out.
Conner was clouted much harder
than the score shows. The big fellow
was in good form but all his offer
ings were received with enthusiasm
by the Jays. Had it not been for the
wonderful support accorded him the
score would show that the Dublin re-
cruit was given an unmerciful beating.
Squibb, late of South Bend and La
Porte, has been given his release by
Manager Jessup. The little fellow
played fairly good fielding game,
but was very weak with the stick.
Squibb has not yet caught on with any
other team and is still lingering about
Richmond.
Hunt had Morris's tag Saturday. The
first time up Morris lined out a beau
tiful single to left. The next three
times he faced Hunt he breezed. With
Ritter and Jessup on the bags in the
sixth and two down Morris tried his
best to score both of them, but the best
he could do was to agitate the atmos-
pierre The game Saturday empha-
sized the fact that the pitching staff of
the locals must be strengthened. Flem-
ing is the only reliable pitcher on the
staff Conner is nervous and mex
perienced and Boyd is out of the game
temporarily on account of illness. Two
twirlers are needed badly and
at once.
B. Durham got even with the crowd
in the sixth when he scored a run
with a double to deep left. Bull aft

LIMITED CAR ON
THE |. & T. HAS
A BLOODY TRIP.
One Man Known to be Dead
And it is Thought Boy Re-
Ceived Fatal Iniuries-Both
Accidents Near Indianapolis
MOTORMAN THOMPSON
IN CHARGE OF CAR.
One Accident Occurred on Trip
to Indianapolis and Other
on Return to This City
Horse Was Also Killed.

Limited car No. Ga on the Indianapo-
lis and Eastern Traction line had a
bloody trip Saturday afternoon and ev-
ening, on the way to Indianapolis kill
years, and on the return from Indiana
polls to this city at night killing a boy
who was on horse back.
The first accident occurred at Stop
No. l in Indianapolis. The man killed
was walking down the track at the
time, facing the approaching car. 1t
was thought that he would get off the
track in time but did not move and
was instantly killed. A whiskey bot
tie was found on him. He had prob
ably been drinking so heavily that he
was not in condition to know the car
was coming.
The second accident occurred on the
other side of Cumberland. The lad,
who is thought to have been fatally
injured, was on horseback. He either
thought he could get across the track
before the car reached him or else lost
control of his horse while directly in
the cars path. He was struck square
ly and one of the car windows was
completely splintered by the collision.
Motorman Ezra Thompson and Con-
ductor Tucker were in charge of the
car. Motorman Thompson has been
in service for the traction company
for ten years and this is the first SER
ious accident he ever had. He is a
resident of Richmond. Tucker resides
at Greenfield.
The limited was due in here at $50
but on account of the Cumberland ac-
cident did not arrive till IL o'clock.
The car being late was hurried out of
Richmond and neither the motorman
nor conductor had time to talk about
the fatal trip. The car left here Sat
urday afternoon at 2:25.

OPENING OF LEAGUE
IS SET FOR TODAY
First Games Will Be Played in
The New Indiana-0hio
Organization.
FLEMING I'M BOX TODAY.
UMPIRES WHO DO NOT RESIDE
IN ANY OF THE CITIES INCLUD-
ED IN THE LEAGUE.

Today marks the opening of the In
diana-Ohio league. The first league
game of ball by a league team repre-
senting Richmond. will be played at
Athletic park this afternoon against
Bluffton, which is considered one of
the strongest outfits in the new or
ganization. 1t is expected that all
the sport loving people of this city will
be in attendance at Athletic park this
afternoon for the purpose of witnessing
Richmond's first league game.
Manager Jessup stated last evening
that Fleming, the steady. reliable
twirler, would be in the points for the
locals. and he predicted that Richmond
would start the league race with 1000
percentage. Button has one of the
strongest teams in the league, as
strong. it is stated, as Portland, and
the game is sure to be of the utmost
interest. Bluffton has never appeared
here before and the fans are anxious
to see the team which, with Hunts

Quakers' closest rivals for the pennant

has not yet appointed his staff of UNI
pires. so Bud Lally will officiate at the
Bluffton game this afternoon. Lally
will probably make his last appear
ance this season as an umpire on Mon
day, when Bluffton plays the second
and last game of the series. King
states that he will appoint staff of
umpires who do not reside in any of
the cities comprising the league.
Portland opens the league season
this afternoon at Kokomo and an in
teresting game is anticipated Both
teams are about equally balanced, but
Hunts Jay team is thought to have
little on the Kokomo outfit. The
Van Vert team will open the season
at Decatur. These two teams are at
the present time regarded as the weak
est in the league. but their managers
are taking steps to strengthen them so
that they will be on a par with the
Richmond, Portland. Button and Ko-
komo teams
If the weather is favorable. and the
indications point that it will be. the
largest crowd of the season will attend
the opening of the league season at
Athletic park. There will be no GER
emonies. but fast baseball is assured
Richmond is counted on by the manag-
ers of the various clubs in the league
as being the best paying town in the
circuit and it is up 20 the local fans
to do everything in their power to
make league ball in this city a finan-
cial success.
