kota Federation, refuting the grossly
exaggerated stories relative to suffer-
ing in North Dakota during the past
winter, due to climatic and other con-
ditions, is not so much of Il surprise
as it might have been, owing to the
previous attitude of your paper rela-
tive to this section of the state; in
fact We consider the Herald one of
the worst offenders in the circulation
of such tales. We are glad, however,
to be satisfied so exactly as to what
your attitude is, over your own sig
nature.
During the past year-and in fact
for number of years past-the BUSH
ness given to the Herald by the Willis
ton Land company or its members has
amounted to considerable sum and
We regret to state that we have al
order in your hands at the present
time which We should be glad to
countermand were it not too late. Our
reason for this is that we would like
to place the order with some firm that
would at least be willing to do what
it could to rectify false impressions
for which it is largely responsible,
without making it the occasion of
graft. After this date we will he
pleased to have you discontinue the
sending of advertising matter to this
firm and have your representative dis
continue soliciting business from us,
as We do not care to have any bust
ness relations with a newspaper that
is so narrow that it will not endeavor
to do simple justice to a large portion
of its own state Except at advertising
rates) and from which it derives at
least a small portion of its income.
Aside from the strictly business side
of this matter. We believe that your re-
fusal to print the article sent you by

TYSvER TO Be FREED
Of MURDER
According to Opinion of Ex-
pert Witnesses Who At
tended the Trial.
IN HANDS OF THE JURY
Taking Of Testimony Conclud-
ed Yesterday-No Case
Against Forks Boy.
Y HANDS OF THE JURY

The taking of testimony in the
Tysver murder case at Glasgow,
Mont, was concluded yesterday after
noon and the case was given to the
jury today.
DR.. J. E. Engstad of Grand Forks
returned home this morning from
Glasgow where he gave expert testi-
mony for the defense. DR.. Engstad,
when interviewed by the Evening
Times today, stated that in his opin-
ion 1t will be impossible for the jury
to convict Tysver even on a man
slaughter charge though mu ruel
verdict is what they are trying for.
The doctor thinks that Tysver will
get of free man, the only thing the
jury might possibly hold him for be-
ing criminal negligence on account
oil his leaving the deceased, Mitchell
Thompson, when he was in very
critical physical condition.
The contention of the state is that
Thompson's neck was broken either
by Tysver or by his friends, making
him an accessory to the crime. The
testimony is rather conflicting even
along this line as it is a hard matter
to decide whether Thompson's neck
was broken before he was brought to
the carr, or from fall from the seat
after being brought into the coach, or
whether it was broken while the
autopsy was being performed.
The defense claims Thompson's
death was due to alcoholism either
directly or indirectly. 1t was brought
up during the trial that the dead man
had been in comatose condition for
nearly month previous to the trag-
edy and that he had been carried to
the train by friends while in that
condition, it requiring three men to
bring him to the depot on the night of
his death.
For time the Tysver trial attracted
great attention in Glasgow but since
1t has become apparent that the state
has no case against Tysver the inter-
est has diminished.
The attorneys for the defense claim
that even if, through some chance the
jury bring in a verdict of guilty, the
verdict would Immediately be knocked
in the head by the Judge or by the
supreme court as there is absolutely
no evidence upon which to base a
conviction. Attorney Skull G. Skula-
son who is working for Tysver the
Grand Forks boy, is expected home
tomorrow.

W|[[|ST0N BUSINESS
men BAT THE
HERALD
Show Up the Grating Char
acter of the Sheet in En-
phatic Language.

The Evening Times is in receipt of
communication which was addressed
to the Herald of this city by the Will
iston Land company and which is self
explanatory. 1t is understood that a
number of prominent real estate men
OF Minot have taken similar steps.
The course which is being pursued
by the North Dakota Federation and
the allied business interests of the
western part of the state is certainly
deserving of the heartiest commenda-
tons of the people of the entire state.
AS a matter of fact the ISLANDERS sent
out through the press and especially
that published by what should be
creditable home papers will if not
refuted depreciate the value of every
acre of land in the state land es-
pecially in the older portions. So
long as there remains unoccupied
lands in the western counties there
is little hope that the settlers will
stop in the valley and in the older
settled parts OF the state and pay the
prices for lands which their intrinsic
value merits. The taking up of the
rich and valuable lands in the western
parts of the state will force buyers
into the older sections and when that
condition arrives the prices of land
values will materially increase. 1t is
thus seen that there are other inter-
ests in the magnificent work being
done by the federation besides confer
acting the effects of the newspaper
ISLANDERS which have been sent out
through the medium of the Herald and
similar papers.

GRAFTON PEOPLE Up
IN ARMS AGAINST
HUNT
Demonstration Said to Have
Been Planned BY Hundred
Leading Citizens.
TO DEMAND RETRACTION
And Force Him to Leave the
City-Rev. Isaacs Says Rev.
Hunt Lied.

The Evening Times has it from reli-
able sources that had Rev. c. NJ. Hunt,
the evangelist put in an appearance at
Grafton yesterday, a demonstration
participated in by about a hundred
prominent citizens, would have been
made for his benefit. The form which
the demonstration would have taken
is not altogether clear, but it is under
stood that an effort would have been
made to prohibit him from conducting
any meeting there and at the same
time cause his very early removal
from that city-possibly sooner than
the departing time Of the first train.
According to the statement yesterday
made by Rev. Isaacs, the Chicago evan
gelist, who has been assisting in the
meetings, Rev. Hunt recited a deliber-
ate falsehood when he stated that he
had been poisoned in hotel at Graf
ton last Saturday, or that he had been
seriously i'll, or anything of the sort.
Rev. Isaacs stated to a Grafton au-
dience last evening that he was with
Rev. Hunt at the dinner table on the
day mentioned, sat with him all
through the meal and was with him for
half an hour afterwards; that at no
time did Rev. Hunt exhibit any signs
of illness or complain of the food.
1t is the general opinion of we'll
informed people. both at Grafton and
in Grand Forks that Rev. Hunts met
hods for securing notoriety are rather
too course for successful operation.
This was the expressed opinion made
this morning by local workers in the
Christian field, by members of the
committee against whom Rev. Hunt
has arraigned himself and by some of
the pastors who were Intercepted.
The revival meetings in the Sunbeam
Tabernacle, so far as the committee
which has charge of them is concerned,
will conclude on Sunday evening.

to collect their thoughts and it was
not until after the sudden clutching Of
the brakes and the quick stop that the
full realization Of the consequences
of smash up on the stone basement
came over the passengers.
The elevator boy when questioned
about the matter this morning. stated
that there was absolutely no danger as
the car is provided with automatic
brakes which We're bound to set be-
fore the car could hit the basement.
However the long drop of the car was
sufficient to give the scare to several
persons.

TOday-Expect to Have

Elevator Beyond Control

1t has just come to light that sew
eral persons had bad fright yester-
day through the dropping of the ele-
vator in the Security block. There
were eight persons beside the eleva-
tor boy, Gerr Van Alstine, in the cage
when it started from the fourth floor
yesterday afternoon. In some man
ner the car got beyond control and
before the brakes were set, the car
had dropped from the fourth to the
