the despair of Commonwealth Attorney
Franklin and Arthur Goebel was placed
on the witness stand in the Caleb Powers
case at Georgetown again yesterday to
Identify the now famous affidavit he
made at 'Danville, ILL.,, asserting Powers
innocent.
Over the vigorous protest of the prose
cution Noakes was forced to admit that
he made the affidavit, and Judge Morris
allowed it to go before the jury. Noakes
also admitted that he went under an as

court.
A. c. Vaughan, a travelling salesman,
swore that Wharton Golden, Frank Cecil,
Caleb and Kohn Powers, and others, Or
ganized the mountain army to 20 to
Frankfort, and that he heard the men
named say they intended to get justice
at Frankfort at any cost.
James Howard was at the side of the
defense yesterday, and Powers frequently
consulted him. Vaughan also testified
that Wharton Golden said they intended
to have the officers if they had to spill
blood to get them.
More Misery for Noakes.
More misery is in store for Robert
Noakes, the chief witness for the prosecu-

two days on the witness stand, curing

distinct stories, each time frankly con-

EXTEND The BOUNDARIES
OF the FOREST RESERVE
Chief Forester PinchOt Gets Together
With "Captain" Bernard on Cass
Lakes Jonah.

Washington, March 21.-Chief
of the bureau of forestry, Clifford
Pinchot, yesterday sent letters
to Senator Kuute Nelson, Moses
E Clapp and Congressman
James A. Tawney relative to the
national forest reserve in North
ern Minnesota.
The letters are the result of
the series Of conferences which
Captain A. G.. Bernard, repre-
senting the Cass Lake COM
merciaI club, has had with Mr..
Pinchot for the purpose of adj
Indicating the forest reserve con-
troversy in northern Minnesota.
Mr.. Pinchot in his letter to the
senators and Congress man
Tawney, says:
II have carefully considered
the suggestions of Captain A. G.,
Bernard concerning the final ad-
iustment of the national forest
quest on in Minnesota in connec-
ton with the Morris act of 1902.
I understand that it proposed
that boundary lines of the
present forest reserve known as
the Black lines las shown on the
map attached) shall be modified
even further than provided in the
Twaney bill of the last congress
by running the said line south
along the division line between
ranges 20 and 80 west to the
northern boundary of township
IA, north thence west, to the
suggested edge of the forest
reserve.
81 understand that Captain
Bernard and others confidently
believe that the Tawney bill so
amended would be satisfactory
to the people of Cass Lake and
the vicinity and would receive
the support of the entire Mime
sofa delegation in congress.
II also understand that if the
Tawney bill should become law
with this new boundary that the
people of the vicinity Of the new
forest reserve will lend all their
moral support possible to the
maintenance of a national forest
md that they will advocate some
equitable method of making the
tate lands part of the national
crest reserve after the said lands
lave been cut over, and that in
he meantime they would endeav-
'r to have a forest service to
manage and protect the tim Der
IN state swamp lands within the
lew boundary.
"Such an arrangement taken
Is a whole would be entirely sat
sfactory to me, but of course it
would be useless and unfair to
Mr.. Tawney to reopen the ques-
ton unless with a united effort
to put the whole plan through.
