JOHN HENRY IS GR0UCHY
Keeps to Himself and Refuses to Mix
With Other Prisoners in the
County Jail.

With charge of murder to face in
the district court, Jail life is not near
ly as pleasant proposition for John
Henry, colored, as 1t was the first day
or two after his incarceration. Henry
is charged with the murder of Ellen
Fulton and has made a complete con-
fession of his guilt. The murder oc-
CURED in this city last Friday even
ing, Henry killing the woman, who
was his housekeeper, in cold blood.
Henry spends most of his time on
his jail cot, refusing to mix with the
ether prisoners at any time. He
seems to be brooding over his trou-
bles great deal. but does not evil
dence any sorrow on account Of his
deed. He still persists that he meant
to kill the woman and that he did SO,
therefore he should not feel sorry.
There are only two sentences"
said Henry, land they are life i'm
prisonment or DEATH" The prisoner
has voiced no choice On this subject,
however.

MARGARET EARLE IS
At HOME NEAR
THE CITY
And Did Not Attempt to Com.
NIT Suicide-Herald Story
Not Based on Fact

The sorry given publicity through
the Herald to the effect that Margaret
Earle of this city had attempted to
commit suicide in st. Paul by poison
ing herself, is not based on fact &C
cording to statement made this aft
ernoon. The young woman referred
70 is at her home on University avenue
where she has been i'll number Of
days with tonsilitis.
1t was claimed that Margaret Earle
had tried to kill herself last Satur-
Ivy evening, but the woman referred
@ is evidently some woman who has
never been in Grand Forks. Marga-
ret Earle of this city is better known
as Mile and has a great number Of
friends who will sympathize with her
in the undue notoriety the circula-
ton of such story as has been print
ed, has caused.

Set Free But Re.Arrested

Set Free But Re.Arrested
The case of the state against Will
liam Kelly was dismissed yesterday
by Judge Uffelman at Larimore and
the man who was charged with gamb-
ling, was released. it being tho de-
cision of the court. after numerous
witnesses had testified, that there was
not enough evidence to prove his
guilt. Assistant States Attorney E.
G. Skulason, however, was OF the
opinion that Kelly was guilty and he
at once ordered that he be re-arrest-
ed on the charge Of being gambler.
The case will come in Grand Forks
next Friday. Assistant States Attor-
ney Skulason appearing for the state
and Attorney S. ]. Cowley of Larimore
for the defendant. 1t is understood
that Pete Young, one OF the witnesses
called yesterday, skipped town, he
having learned that warrant was
out for his arrest, claiming that ho
perjured himself on the stand. Evil
IDENTIFY this may be deemed the truth
as Young is nowhere to be found.
The interest manifested in the trial
at Larimore is indeed great and this
was added to considerably by the re-
arrest OF Kelly on the gambling
charge.

CONTEST.

The great free-gift voting contest Of The
Evening Times is nearing the close and wish
to give to each Of the contestants my personal
assurance that there are no favorites in the con-

NEGRO DOLL FACTORY FOR
NASHVILLE.
Negro Men at the Head and Original
tors of an Enterprise Meaning
Much to This City.

The Nashville American of this city
said in its issue of Sunday, November
8, that I'm this city can be found about
as large a per cent of Negroes accord
ing to population as in any other in
the Southland. They are not simply
here without purpose, occupation or
business. While they are at work en-
joying the pursuit of liberty and hap
piness together with their schools
they have business enterprises that
are growing, and that now seem to
be commensurate with their educa-
tional advantages Possibly the Nash
vile Negroes have more of an inter-
national reputation than those of any
other city; this is brought about from
more than one cause. The latest de-
velopment among the Negroes of this
city is the Negro Doll Idea which has
put them before the civilized world.
A factory is to be located here where
thirty-five thousand members of the
race reside, an they will give it their
support Here, as UNCONVENTIONAL
centre, it will no doubt enjoy great
err amount of prosperity than if To-
Gated elsewhere. A Negro Doll Fac
tory for Greater Nashville, is the
slogan among the people
"The originators of this great enter
prise that has turned millions of
eyes of the descendants of Ham to-
wards Greater Nashville are Rev. R.
H. Boyd and his associates. Dr. Boyd,
who is at present at the head Of the
National Baptist Publishing Board,
Negro concern that is already known
all over the world, a business enter
prise that has brought hundreds of
thousands of dollars to this city, a
plant that is the pride of two million
five hundred thousand Negro Baptists.
Rev. Boyd declares that the Negroes
will support such an enterprise just
as they are supporting their churches,
their publishing houses and their fam
lilies. He stated that since the Negro
Doll Idea had been Endorsed by the Ma
tional Baptist Convention at LeXing
pon, XIV. the news had spread all over
the United States and people are
writing for prices, information, and
the article itself-the Negro doll.
"The Negro doll is reality and it
is on exhibition at three distinct
places in the city and will bring thou
sands of dollars to Nashville. The
