SUCCESSFUL
ALOERMAN|C
CANDIDATES
John Valley Succeeds Stephen
Collins as Representative
From Sixth Ward.

Frank v. Kent. the we'll known jew
eler, was probably the most surprised
man in Grand Forks last night when
he was notified that he had been
elected to the position of alderman
of the Third ward. 1t was, indeed,
an April fool joke that was carried
just far enough to elect Mr.. Kent and
defeat Owen Young. whose name ap-
peared on the ballot.
Outside of this one ward, the result
of the election was as anticipated.
There were no contests in any of the
wards, and the total vote in the city
was only 121.
There was elected in each ward an
alderman to serve two years. and the
following were elected:
First ward-R. M. Carothers.
Second ward-L. H. Sannes.
Third ward-Frank Kent.
Fourth ward--M. w. Day.
Fifth ward-Geo. w. Buckingham.
Sixth ward-John Valley.
Seventh ward-For one year-O. T.
Ellestad; for two years-Geo. H.
Wilder.

Special to The Eveni,s Times.

Bemidji. Mimi. April 2.-The pre-
senting OF evidence by the prosecu-
ton in the case of the state of Mime
sofa VS.. James Wesley will be con-
cluded this afternoon. The most i'm
portant development in the case this
morning was the allowing of mo-
ton, made by the attorneys for the
defendant, for the striking out of evil
dence given by the witness Krueger,
relative to finding a piece of hair on
his revolver when it was returned to
him few days after the murder of
the Dahls. Fournier had had the use
of the gun for several days. The evil
dence was stricken out on the ground
that the hair had not been identified
as that of Miss Dahl.
Testimony to show that F'Ournier
had more money than he should have
had, was introduced today. E. Emer-
son told of Fournier having purchased
horse from him in June following
the murder. Mr.. Caldwell and O..
Franks told of Fournier having men,
toned to them purchases he had
made of gun, dog and groceries.
Messrs. Miller. Greenfield and Butler
told of .Fournier being "broke" the
day before the murder.
Monday afternoon some sensational
testimony was introduced. Allen Nc
Graw was one of the important wit
nesses. Every eye was turned to Nc
Graw and his testimony was listened
to in almost breathless silence. He
testified to being in Jail at the same
time as Wesley and Wesley told him
that he and Paul. Fournier had COM
mitted the Dahl murderers. but that
Wesley did not shoot either of them;
that Fournier had lain in the brush
until the old man came along and
shot him. Fournier had also shot the
girl later; that all he (Wesley) had
had to do with it was getting in on
the money. They expected $1,000 or
$500 but got less than 500. Nc
Graw said that the reason he had
not told of this sooner was because
he did not like Sheriff Bailey and
thought that if the sheriff was to get
the reward he would not tell. The
gruelling cross-examination did not
shake McGraw's testimony. Fred
Foot testified as to another confession
made by Wesley when in Jail in 1905.
Foote was in Jail. charged with the
killing of Matt Cannon at Spooner,
this county. Later he confessed and
was sent to Saltwater for fifteen

he rushed into the street where he

Special to The Evening Tines.

Minot, N. D.. April 1.-Mistaking the
home of Mrs. Florence Hines, 211 West
First street, for blind pig, gang
Of men assailed the place last even
ing. In self protection Mrs. Hines
drew a revolver and shot William
OLeary Of Minot in the lobe of the
\ right ear The bullet entered the
right side of the neck and made it's
exit through the other side. O'Leary
called frantically for help. Several
men ran to his assistance. They found
him lying in the gutter opposite the
Olson block. He was crying at the top
of his voice that he had been shot in
the ear
1t seems that the house now oc-
cupied by Mrs. Hines was once oc-
cupied by Pady Boyd, recently indict-
ed for running blind pig. The men
had apparently visited the place be-
fore. A party of six, according to a
member of the Hines family, applied
for admittance to the place shortly
before 10 o'clock They had a
store of liquor with them and demand
ed that they be allowed to enter and
drink it. Mrs. Hines refused. Then
she claims that one of the party
threw one of the bottles at her head
1t missed her and the contents went
sputtering about her front hall. An
other member of the party ripped 4
post off the front porch while others
ran to the back of the house in an at
tempt to force an entry by that route.
Failing to get in, bottle Of beer was
hurled through the kitchen window.
Another attack was made on the
front entrance. 1t was then that Mrs.
Hines grabbed a revolver which she
keeps handy when her husband, who
is an engineer, is out on the road.
She fired into the crowd which scat
tered in terror. OLeary whom she
states was the ring leader was the
only one shot.
Judge Murray made a partial ex-
animation into the affair last night,
securing the revolver. No one has
been placed under arrest.

Langdon, N. D., April 2.-The most
narrowing occurrence Langdon has
experienced in years was the death
by suffocation and fire yesterday of
the three minor children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert Henderson. residents of
this city. In addition to the loss of
their children. Mr.. and Mrs. Hender-
son suffered the destruction of their
home and all their household belong
ings.
The circumstances surrounding the
accident make it more than ordinarily
sad. About 2:30 inethe afternoon Mrs.
Henderson, who was alone with the
children at home, Mr.. Henderson be-
ing employed in the hardware store
of Murphy & Lawn. locked the door
of the house and went out for few
minutes visit with neighbor resid-
ing block or two distant. Probably
forty minutes later smoke and fire
enveloped the home and neighbors i'm
mediately rushed to the rescue. After
some delay the burning structure was
broken into with view of rescuing
the imprisoned children. All three
were found on the floor in one of the
rooms dead. their bodies smoking hot,
but fortunately only little burned.
The rescue was made with much diff
Guilty and danger but the house itself
and the contests were destroyed, not
even clothing being saved.
The mother and father are both
frantic, particularly the former, she
being disposed to assume very largely
blame for the accident.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but It is presumed one of the children
played with matches, or with the
kitchen stove.
The funeral will he held on We'd
nesday. Langdon people sympathize
with the stricken parents.
Mrs. Henderson is sister Of Mr..
Harold c. Heatley, an employe of the

has been notified.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
Judge Curtis Reserved Decision
 in Byrne vs ToWle Case.

The wheels of the superior court stopped this forenoon rather abruptly, the case down for hearing, Bergen X Sons against the St Francis Xavier church, having been settled out of court to the satisfaction of the prin- cipals. All of the other cases follow ing were put over for reassignment, but will not lose their places on the trial list.
 The case of the E. H. Towle com pany against Matthew D. Byrne for $6O2 for rent and repairs and Byrne's counter claim for $160 for breach of contract was finished late yesterday afternoon. Attorney Bronson, coun- sel for the Towle company had MT Byrne on the stand two hours and had him make admissions which seem- ed to be decidedly against his own interest involved. Apparently the trouble was brought about through :, MT Byrne's own friends. On several occasions they had his automobile out and once or twice 1t met with q costly accident The machine is now in the Pope automobile works in Hartford undergoing repairs for the past few months, and it is said that the bill will eat up the value of the machine. Judge Curtis reserved decision. The Towle company did not rent his ma chine. --...

MEMORIAL WINDOW.
Former Waterbury Woman's Gift to
 St Johns Church.

At the morning service on Thanks giving day, at St Johns church, a beautiful memorial window will be unveiled. It is a gift to the church from Mrs John R. Poore, of San Rafel, Cal, and formerly resident of Waterbury. The window was design ed by Frederick Wilson and was exc cuted in favrile glass by the Tiffany studios Of New York, under the per- sonal direction of Louis c. Tiffany.
 The memorial has been placed on the north side of the church and con- sists of two panels of Gothic form. The subject of the design is ''The call to Matthew," taken from the ninth chapter of the gospel of St Matthew, and the words of Jesus, Follow Me" The subject is one of the most impressive that has been expressed in the form of a storied window, and in addition to its being an exposition of a beautiful scriptural lesson, it is a fitting characterization of the life and works of those to whom it is a' me- morial.
 <, The form of the window has given \ he artist an unusual opportunity for \ perfect presentation of the subject. 1,e left panel shows the figure of CA-ist in kindly and benign atti- tudH yet with the gesture and pose of com, 9and. In the right panel is the fguH of Matthew, turning in obed- fence 10, the call of the Master, and re- linquisldng the affairs of his office for the higler and nobler work of his future life. "a the conception of the theme, tbare is, a profound under standirg of its significance, and the work is imbued with strong sense of devotional feeling and spiritual force, in full accord with the finer meaning of the text.
 The coloring of the window is in soft light tones of blues and pinks, with a rich background of green fol- iage effects. The glass; which was especially made for the work. has been used with most judicious care to produce the full intent and spirit of the design and the result is one of rare beauty, and notable addi- tion to the enrichment of the church.
 The panels in the lower portion of the window contain the dedicatory in- scription, 'In Memoriam, Franklin Luther Curtis and his wife, Mary Louise Hine.
