Juror Writes OF the wilson Trial.

One Saturday night, fourteen years
ago last March, twelve weary men re-
turned a verdict of murder in the
first degree against Edward Wilson,
fixing the penalty at life imprison-
ment. This jury had been in close
confinement for six long days and
nights, and this in a sense tempered
the verdict to the murderer. This
jury was composed of the following
men: A. Repp, J. w. Bassett, VIM.
Bowen, Walt Corson, Amos Harris,
J. M. Montgomery, Ed Shufelt, VIM.
Parke, ST., Dave Menor. Chas. Web
ber O. ID. Minis and A. B. Gardner.
The evidence was circumstantial,
but the jury had no doubt but that
it was a cold blooded murder, and
the sentence would have been hang
ing, but for one reason that appealed
very strongly to number who served
on that Jury. The law at that time,
and is yet / believe, was that the ex-
ecution shall take place in the coun-
ty in which the conviction was had.
There had only been two hangings
IN the state previous to that time
and majority of the jury did not
propose to have the ignomy of a hang
ing rest on the moral name Of Lin
coin county, especially when the deed
=
Some Of the jury did not take this
view of the matter but were emphat-
ic for the extreme penalty, until some
of the jury commenced to vote for ac-
quittal.
The law in this state compels
jury, in a murder case, to find the
verdict and to fix the penalty, a
double duty.
The prisoner, in talking to the jury
after the verdict, expressed the wish
that the sentence might have been
death, and on taking leave Of Canton
threatened the lives of some if he
ever escaped, and of course on mis- re-
ported escape there we're some that
the prison bars. The best pleased
man in Canton was probably big
hearted "Bob" Pierce, the sheriff,
who they say had his resignation all
ready for his signature If the penalty
had been death.
Time is great healer, and some of
the jury that were so strongly In
favor of the death penalty, have since
signed a petition for Communication
of twenty years imprisonment, virtu-
ally pardon. The movement for a.
pardon in his behalf began about
seven years ago and reached climax

OF MILLARD KENNEDY.
Parents, teachers and classmates,
we are assembled to render the final
exercises of the common school course.
The twelve years training provided
by our city school has been completed
and the time has arrived when we are
to bid good bye to the school house
and to one another as teachers and
classmates. In looking back over
these years and ir(recalling the hopes
and ambitions that inspired us to
press forward toward the realization
of our purpose, which was not simply
a diploma. The real thing for which
we have striven is success. Have we
reached at least measure of it? The
success for which we have labored is
that acquisition of knowledge and
training that will prepare and qualify
US for the duties OF life.
Thus far our paths have been to-
gether: now we must part and each
strive for success in the further bat
ties of life. inspired by a noble pur-
pose. This is our first duty and first
attainment. Our parents and teach
ers have labored to inspire us on to
this end and its realization Is the
first success on which we can congrat-
ulate ourselves at parting.
Our further success will depend en-
tirely upon ourselves for no one is
born to greatness. 1t is true some
are born to wealth and position and
others to poverty, yet these. simply
furnish different obstacles to be over
come. OF the two, the latter is the
easier, for poverty is an inspiration
while wealth and position have an In
fuence of lethargy. We observe a

Friends of the Canton High School:
Tonight we are before you to COM
plete our High School life. Every
connection with the School except
our interest in it is to be severed.
This evening we are confronted with
the world and its problems and are
waiting for the world to take us in
and give us place to use what we
have learned in the past twelve years.
We are sure that we will be welcomed
and helped on in whatever we may at
tempt.
PerhapS no time in our lives has
meant as much as tonight. 1t marks
the close of our public school work
and leaves us with the problem Of
what next. 1t means to the commun-
ity a new set of people turned out to
active life. To the school it means
one class gone to make room for an
other and another year gone just as
many have gone before. This class
makes the number of graduates pass
the one hundred mark which is very
creditable record for the school. To
our friends it means the realization OF
their fondest hopes. Perhaps on the
day we started to school they thought
of the long road we had started upon
ana now Lney are thinking Oh Lne
work we have done and that we have
finished that which we started out to
do.
And now we welcome everyone to
this evenings exercises and hope that
we may succeed in our later life in
such degree that you may feel that
you have not misplaced your confidence
in placing it in the school and we hope
that confidence may not be denied to
those who will follow us. Again we
extend our hearty welcome and hope
you may be pleased with our efforts
and may go home with a faith and
trust in Canton High that you never
had before.

it takes lots to live of course Wages
for the most common laborer is So per
day, while any kind of tradesman gets
$5 per day.
Coming closer home it is noted that
the newspapers here similar to the
Leader sells at $3.50 per year and no
one seems to think that the price is
at all out Of the way. 1t would scare
a South Dakota merchant to death to
pay the prices we are expected to pay
here for job printing and advertising.
However, when South Dakota and
Montana become connected, as they
soon will be by the new line, prices
will adjust themselves, and this sec
tion of the Northwest will become q
big market for the hogs, oats and corn
of southeastern South Dakota.
