WINS ANOTHER
BIG CASE,

Judge Lauder returned Sat-
urday from an absence of ,uree
weeks at Napoleon, Logan
County where he was engaged
tor the defendant in the ,nur-
der case of the State against
John Permann. The trial last
ed nearly three weeks and was
one of the most celebrated
ever tried in this state.
Henry Permann, father of
the defendant and Michael
Summerfeld owned and oc-.
cupied adjoining farms in
Logan County. There had
been bad blood between the
families for some time, and
threats and recri,ninations had
been freely INDUCED in on both
sides. Some time about the
first of June, John Permann,
the oldest son of Henry Per-
mann, went into his fathers
field where the same adjoins
the Summerfeld land for the
purpose of putting out poison
ed wheat to kill gophcrs. Sum
merfeld took exceptions to
this and he and his wife went
to where the son, John was at
work and assaulted and beat
him badly. John went home
but Immediately himself and
his brother returned to con-
tinue the work. The father
hearing of the difficulty and
fearing trouble. at once started
after the boys to bring them
home but before he reached
the boys Summerfeld and his
wife had again returned and
we're again in a shuttle with
the boys. On returning tie
boys both carried clubs in their
hands to defend themselves
from any renewed attack on
the part of the Sutnmerfelds,
On the approach of the father,
Summerfeld who was vigor-
Gus, powerful man, at once left
the boys and commenced an at
tack on the father and in the
scuffle Permann was violently
thrown to the ground and as
claimed by the Permanns.
Summerfeld who was then on
top of the old man. was about
to strike him with a dangerous
weapon when the son John
struck Summerfeld two power
full blows on the head with a
club shattering the scull bone
from the effects of which Sum-
merteld soon died. The three
Permanns. the father and the
two sons, were at once arrest
ed charged with murder in the
first degree and the son John
who struck the blows which
caused the death was up on
trial. After a short delibera-
tion the jury returned verdict
of mot guilty" on the ground
that the boy John was justified
in what he did on the ground
that he struck the blows in de-
fense of his own father.
Mr.. V. Il. Lowell one of the
ablest lawyers of Fargo assisted
the States Attorney in the pro.
secution. From professional
standpoint the verdict of mot
guilty is considered great VIC
tory for Judge Lauder.

PETER GILLESPIE
SWALLOWS ACID
Dependency Due to Ill Health
Causes Suicide of Well
known Character.

In fit of dependency, due to i'll
health. Peter X. Gillespie of 427 East
Sixth South street killed himself about
3 o'clock yesterday morning by drinking
carbolic acid. His wife and two daugh-
tiers found him writhing in pain in the
yard and summoned DR.. j. S. Sharp, but
before the physician reached the house
Gillespie was beyond aid
Gillespie was formerly proprietor of a
gambling house in Salt Lake He had
"a reputation for square dealing and was
popular among the frequenters of his
place because of his genial manners
When gambling was closed in Salt Lake
he went to Montana. Failing health
caused him to return TO Salt Lake about
three months ago
He was suffering from heart trouble
and his condition caused frequent attacks
of melanchOlia.
Yesterday morning he went into the
pantry adjoining the kitchen and took a
bottle of carbolic acid from a shelf Mrs
Gillespie saw him enter the pantry but
thought nothing of the matter A few
minutes later Miss Florence Gillespie
found her father lying upon the ground
IN the yard, grooming with pain.
She ran 10 his side. He was suffering
intense pain. At his side was a bottle
which she recognized as one which had
been kept on the pantry shelf and had
contained caTbOlic acid.
1t was almost empty. In his grim de-
termination to end his life Gillespie had
swallowed large quantity of the burning
liquid and had apparently not taken the
bottle of poison from his lips until he
fell Writhing upon the floor
Everything possible was done TO save
his life but he expired soon after DR.
Sharp reached his side
Gillespie was As years old He leaves
a widow and two daughters-Miss Flor

Committee to Ac:.

Some of those present said they had
had personal interviews with the council

been told that we can't do anything for

chance to DO the right thing, as seen by
the property owners, and likewise the
cOuncilmen another chance TO get busy.
After there had been much discussion

NO PERPETUAL FRANCHISES

Mr.. Pinchot, of the forestry depart
ment, has been making a fight-and
thus far a successful one-against the
granting of perpetual franchises to
water power companies which are
seeking to utilize the streams in the
forest reserves. He is right; a per-
petual franchise is an unspeakable
menace. No one can see far enough
into the future to define the terms and
conditions Of perpetual franchise.
No one can estimate the value of such
franchise thousand years hence,
or even hundred years hence. No
franchise should be granted for more
than 20 or 25 years and then the gov
ernment should reserve the ri. hit to
regulate prices charged for power and
should also reserve the right to take
over the plant at any time upon pay
ment Of actual value, exclusive of the
value of tie franchises.
The government is not supposed to
give away anything valuable and it
ought never to have to buy back a
franchise. A power company which
wants to do an honest business will
not object to strict regulations or to
surrender to the government at the
will of the government, and corpora
tons which seek to get something for
nothing and then employ the public
grant to exploit the public have no
claim to consideration.
Mr.. Pinchot is right IN insisting that
there should be time limit on fran.
chises-he ought to go step farther
and insist upon the governments right
to protect the public by taking over
the plant whenever public interest de-
mands it. Each generation should be
left free to make such use of the earth
as times and conditions require No
generation has a right to fetter the
future with perpetual franchises.

you CAN HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Black Loan Soil Not a Bar to Hard
Roads, says II. n. Gross.

1t Is often urged that hard roads
In the corn belt of the Mississippi val.
ley are impracticable, first, for the
reason that stone or gravel roads can
not be built on the heavy black loan
soil of that section, and, second. be-
cause there is no road material at
hand for this purpose.
The fact is there are no difficulties
there that cannot be overcome Only
one precaution is necessary, and that
Is thorough drainage. See that the
road is thoroughly drained, which may
be done either by side-ditching or by
tiling sub-surface drains, and the task
Will be an easy one. The layer Of
road material serves as a roof over
the road to keep it dry.
AS to road material though there
are no deposits of stone or gravel In
the corn belt, the land in that section
is exceedingly fertile and produces
large revenues, and it's owners are
better able to pay road taxes than the
farmers in other parts where the road
material Is at hand and the soil less
fertile. Furthermore, the railroads
are interested in the betterment of the
highways and will carry road mate
rial southwark into the corn belt at
the cost of the service or less. The
southern part of the state furnishes
the northern part with coal-the coal
cars go back empty-why not fill them
with stone Or praya12
The farmers of the corn belt have
still another advantage when it comes
to building hard roads. The land
is comparatively level, so no heavy
grading is necessary. 1t is true that
hard roads can be built in the corn
belt with material shipped in for half
Che cost of roads in Massachusetts.
where stone abounds, the difference
being that in Massachusetts the hills
must be cut down, the hollows filled,
and the streams bridged-H. H. Gross.
