THAw'S CASE IS CALLED
Whites Slayer Temporarily
Out of Insane Asylum.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 4.-Tem-
porarily at least Harry X. Thaw is out
of the Matteawan hospital for the
criminal insane. AS a result of pro-
ceedinss on the writ of habeas corpus
sued out in an effort to have him le-
gally declared sane he will remain in
the Duchess county Jail until the
final decision on the writ is handed
down. The formal hearing in the case
will come before the supreme court

The adjournment was taken upon
the request of a representative of the
district attorney of New York county
to give District Attorney Jerome an
opportunity to appear in person to OPP
pose Thaw's release from the asylum.
In the meantime Thaw will remain
in the Duchess county Jail here in
stead of being returned to Matteawan.
Thaw appeared to be in excellent
health, having gained fully twenty
pounds in weight since his transfer to
the asylum from the Tombs.
An interesting feature of the pro-
ceedings vas an announcement that
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, although she has
brought suit for annulment of her
marriage, will appear, if necessary, as
a witness in her husbands behalf.

VALIDITY OF STATUTES.
Grand Forks Is Concerned in the Fate
of Two State Laws.

In the district court at Grand Forks
States Attorney Wineman appeared
for Grand Forks county in the suits
brought to compel payment of a re-
ward in a "spotter" case and to secure
the return of $1,000 paid into the state
by Grand Forks county for the care of
insane patients at the state hospital.
In the "spotter" case, Grand Forks
county sent two warrants for $50 each
to State Auditor Holmes and he re
fused payment on the grounds that
the law authorizing the payment OF
rewards to collectors of evidence in
liquor cases had been repealed when
the temperance commissioner law was
passed. The temperance commission.
er law was declared unconstitutional
and States Attorney Wineman con.
tends that the old law thereupon will
be in effect. In the suit to recover
the $1,000 paid the state, the consti
tutionality of the law requiring coun.
ties to pay for the care of insane pa.
tients is involved.
Attorney General T. F. McCue sent
briefs in both of the cases and States
Attorney Wineman made oral argu.
ments. Judge Charles F. Templeton
took both cases under advisement.
Judge c. F. Templeton of the dis.
trict court at Grand Forks declared
the law giving a reward of $50 for in.
formation leading to the arrest and
conviction of violators of the prohibit
tion law to be in effect unconstiution.

TRAIN is DYNAM|TED
Engineer on Burlington Railroad
Killed at Butte, Mont.
SEVERAL COACHES WRECKED
Mail Car and Cold Storage Fish Car
Hurled From Track and Broken
Into kindIing Wood.

Butte, Mont, May 2.-Eastbound
Burlington train No. 6 was dynamited
about a mile west of the Northern Pa
cific station. The explosion caused
the first, or helper engine, to leave
the rails, but it plowed along for a
few hundred feet without turning
over. The second engine crashed into
the bank south of the track a few car
lengths from where the explosion &C.
Cured and turned over. Every per-
son on the train has been accounted
for. The body of Engineer Busy
of the second engine has been found
buried under his locomotive. Car
Mango, who vas riding on the blind
baggage, was taken from a mass of
timbers under which he was buried.
His arm and leg were broken. Fire
man George E. Hele of the second en-
CINE was seriously scalded. Both we're
hurried to the hospital.
The mail car was hurled on its side
and wrecked. A cold storage fish car
was smashed into kindling wood. Only
the front trucks of the express car
left the rails. The baggage car was
also derailed, only the Pullmans re-
naming or the tracks.
Sheriff Charles Henderson. Under
Sheriff Howard Bailey and Deputie
Wheeler and Richards were quickly
at the scene of the wreck. They were
joined there by Sergeants of Police
Sinsel and Brinton and Chief of De-
tectives Charles Bates. The officers
at once began an investigation of the
affair. The dynamiting is believed to
be the work of some tramp seeking
revenge for being elected from a
train.
Express Messenger j. B. Valentine
was seriously cut by a flying grenade.
His escape from death in his car is
considered remarkable.
Carl Mango, who was riding on the
baggage a and was f~earfully in
jured, died ten hours after the acct
dent. He carried a Carpenters union
card, issued at Sheridan, Wyo.
The first tangible clue to the dyna-
hitting was secured when the officers
traced the powder used to a mine To-
Gated about a mile from the scene of
the explosion. Forty-five sticks of
giant powder were stolen from this
mine. 1t is believed now that this
entire charge was exploded, as the
locomotive wrecked, one of the larg-
est used in the mountains, was COM
pletely demolished.

WHEAT is EARLY.
About Half the Crop in Grand Forks
County Already in the Ground.

SOQHIy ALREADY IN the GrOuno
Wheat seeding is about half through
in Grand Forks county and those adj
joining. Had it not been for the rain
of last week, which has prevented
work since that time, the work would
have been about completed. The
acreage will be larger than last year,
but just how much cannot be stated
just now. About rs per cent is a fair
estimate. General conditions for wheat
are vastly better than a year ago,
when none had been sown. For the
past few days there has been prac-
tically no growth, however. Wheat is
practically a month earlier than in
1907.
Little or no durum wheat will be
sown in Grand Forks county this year.
Farmers say it does not thrive in the
Red river valley counties. Practical
ly none of the land has been sown to
oats, and farmers say the acreage
will be about the same as usual.
There will be a fair acreage of corr
this year. 1t was a good crop last
year, and this has encouraged farmers.
1t is considered probable that the
acreage of flax will be less than last
year. Seeding will not be begun for
a month yet, and weather conditions
will largely determine this problem.
The acreage of barley will be in
creased. Farmers report some diff
Guilty in securing seed, however.

ELEVEN OF THE CREW LOST
Steamer Hit by Huge Wave and Badly
Damaged.

Newport, Ore, May 5.-During a
storm Friday night on the coast the
steamer Mime E. Kellon shifted and
sprung a bad leak. Saturday noon a
huge wave struck the vessel and
washed her deck and cabin, leaving
the vessel waterlogged and unmanage,
able. Eleven of the crew were
drowned, some while trying to launch
a boat.
Four men on a raft tried to get
ashore, but only one succeeded and he
sustained a broken leg. The lifesav-
ing crew of this place took nine men
off the vessel and landed them on the
shore about fifteen miles north of here.
The Minnie E. Kellon was bound from
Aberdeen to San Francisco loaded
with lumber in command of Captain
James McKenna. The last seen of
the vessel she was picked up by an
other schooner going north.

SIX PERISH in FIRE.
Catastrophe in ThickIy Populated Sec
ton of Brooklyn.

ton of Brooklyn.
New York, May 4.-Six persons
were killed and four injured in an
early morning fire at II Humboldt
street, a thickly populated district of
Brooklyn.
Every member of one family, con-
sisting Of a mother and four children,
are among the dead. There were
many thrilling rescues by police and
firemen. A half dozen or more per-
sons who were trapped in the upper
stories were saved by jumping into
life nets.
The Abrams family lived on the
third floor. For some reason the
flames swept through their apartments
so that the only way of escape was
by jumping from the windows.
Charles Abrams and his sister Anna
did this. Both struck an iron railing
and were dead when picked up. Mrs.
Abrams and her other children, Sadie
and Carrie, were burned to death,
clasped in each others arms.

many lives.
The hotel was erected half a CEN

and within a few minutes from the
time fire was discovered the whole in
terror was a mass of flames that filled
the corridors and rooms with suffo-
eating clouds of smoke and laid fiery
barriers across all means Of escape
ave by the windows.
The fire department rescued many
by means of ladders, but some, fren-
zied by the onward rush of the flames,
leaped from high windows to the
paved street.

DEN0UNCEs BRIBE-TAKERs
Minot Judge Then Sentences the Giver
to Term in %Penitentiary.

In court at Minot Judge E. B. Goss
delivered a sharp arraignment of
chiefs Of police and other off cials who
accept brides, when he sentenced A.
Miller, found guilty of giving a bribe
of $3.50 to Chief of Police Thomas q.
Hagen, on April 6, 1907, while Kruse
and Miller ran an alleged blind pig
under the Morrill, hotel. The Judge
sentenced Miller to- one year and
three months in the state penitentiary
at Bismarck. He said that he was
twice as lenient in giving this SEN
tence as he would had it been for the
official who accepted the bride. The
judge said that bribery strikes at the
very vitals of government, and that as
far as moral turpitude is concerned
Miller was much more sinned against
than SHINING.

EXPRESS COMPANY ROBBED
Reports Loss of $e3, 900 Consigned to
Mexican Bank.

Laredo, Tex, May 2.-The loss of
$4,000 in Mexican currency has been
reported by the Wells-Fargo Express
company to the authorities of Torreon,
Mex. The company claims it was
taken from a through safe on their
City of Mexico train. The money was
consigned to one of the banks of Chi
huahua.
Two arrests have been made in Tor
reon, although it is not believed by
the officials that the men who we're
arrested have the money.
1t appears that one of the agents of
the company boarded the express train
at a station between the City of Mex
leo and Torreon, afterwards leaving
the train. 1t is said that he was the
only man who was in the car who
knew the combination of the safe. He
has not yet been apprehended.
