to our figures" said Mr. Sage. "There
is no question that the findings of the
assessors are correct so far as 1t is
possible to get them, while the census
report is largely guesswork."
Mr.. Sage says that the average OF
30 bushels to the acre given to Iowa
by the government as this years yield
Of corn is too high. The government
gives Illinois Sc bushels and this is
declared far too high by Mr.. Sage.
The figures put Illinois ahead of Iowa
as corn producing state and this

of the past few days has interfered

The appearance OF Fred Beaner, sec

ness saw Arthur, Feb. IA, on horse
back about half an hour before the
murder.
Coroner Mitchell was placed upon
the stand and told of the inquest.
Witness testified that Mrs. Cramer
had testified at the inquest and that
she had made a statement regarding
the whole trouble and described the
shooting. Witness testified that he
had not informed Mrs. Cramer regard
ing her rights as a defendant and she
spoke freely.
Evidence Ruled Out.
Witness testified that he had writ
ten down the statement of Mrs. Cram
err and the attorney for the state re-
quested that it be admitted as testi-
mony. The attorneys for the defense
objected on the ground that it was
not voluntary statement and defend
ant had not been informed of her legal
rights. After some discussion the
court sustained the objection.
After Judge Pollock had overruled
the motion of the attorneys for the
defense to dismiss the case against
Mrs. Cramer, she was called to the
stand and began her story. which is
substantially as follows:
Story Given.
She stated that she was married to
Fred Cramer at the home Of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. D. Stick
ney, Willard, Mimi, Dec. 10, 1883. She
was % years old and her husband SO
or SO. Two weeks after the we'd
ding they removed to Gull River, where
he had a claim. They removed to
Glenwood in 1886, where a girl was
born in 1887. Shortly afterward that

"You understand nothing except as
1 rule" said Justice Fitzgerald with
some show of feeling. II sustain the
objection"
Now DOCTOR" asked Mr.. Jerome,
taking these letters as whole and
excluding all else, can you say wheth-
er the writer was sane or insane at
the time of the writing?"
DR.. Evans did not think he could.
IF you only had these letters and
nothing else you could not tell wheth-
er the writer was sane or insane
II could not form scientific opini-
on"
What was there id the hypothetical
question that enabled you to say he
was insane June 25?"
DR.. Evans related a number of the
facts that were in the hypothetical
question and added several matters OF
prenatal influences which have not
come out in evidence.
Mr.. Jerome went carefully into the
statements, asking the doctor If he
considered them in framing the answer
to the hypothetical question.
DR.. Evans said he did not.
The subject of the reports of his
examination of Thaw made to the at
torneys for the defense came up and
DR.. Evans admitted that he did make
one report but that it was personal
and private report and that he had
never been forced to produce such re-
ports.
Mr.. Jerome directed that subpoena
be served on his directing him to pro-
duce the report tomorrow.
The letter which Thaw wrote from
Paris after Evelyn Nesbit had told him
her story was produced and DR.. Evans
was asked If it showed evidence of
insanity. Taken by itself, the doctor
said, it would not enable him to say
positively whether the writer was in
sane or not.
DR.. Evans started to read part of the
Paris letter, saying:
Mrs. Aston was here last week but
went away again. There are a lot of
beauts-"
Mr.. Jerome interrupted. 49,
II did not ask you to read the let
ter" he said sharply.
Mr.. Hartridge Of Thaw's counsel,
said later that while the name sounded
like castor" he did not think the name
was mentioned.
DR.. Evans was given a typewriter
copy of Mr.. Delmas' hypothetical ques-
ton which he promised to read before
tomorrow morning, when Mr.. Jerome
will examine him on it.
At 1850 court adjourned until to-
morrow.

I: for Grand Forks. {:
+: George Davis, Correspondent. {:

The Evening Times received the
above telegram this afternoon from its
special correspondent at Bismarck,
and Immediately set to work to learn
what was brewing. Up till $3.50
O'Clock neither Mayor Duis, Mr.. Din
ME. Mr.. Bosard, or any Of the gentle
men more prominently identified with
the state fair, had heard from Mr..
Hunter. but the veracity Of the tele-
gram from Mr.. Davis cannot be doubt
ed, especially as he is in direct touch
with Mr.. Hunter. The latter gentle
man went to Bismarck early in the
week for the purpose of looking after
the regular, legislative appropriation
of $4,000 for the state fair.
From correspondence, kilograms
and mail reports received during the
past three days it would appear that
Grand Forks chances of retaining the
fair are not the brightest. Fargo and
Devils Lake are both working tooth
and nail to get tho fair. away and
aside from this there seems to be
disposition upon the part of number
of lawmakers to punish Grand Forks
and Grand Forks county for reasons
which only readers themselves can
opine.
Mayor Duis expressed the opinion
this afternoon that the city's chances
for losing out on the fair proposition
were slight. This is certainly the
hope Of everyone. but If, as the apove
telegram indicates. Mr.. Hunter con-
siders the situation serious enough to
ask for delegation to go to Bis
marck, the mayor may occupy posi-
ton that will not stand.
The Evening Times hopes the at
mosphere will be cleared by tomor-
row and that Devils Lake and Fargo
schemes will both be decisively de-
feated,
