DON'T Mind
THE HANGING
so SAYS MURDERER NOAH, BUT
HE DON'T WANT TO STRAIN
GLE TO DEATH.

Minot Optic: Robert S. Noah, SEN
fenced to be hanged in October for
the murder of Gus Johnson at Ken
mare, has given Judge William Muir
ray special invitation to be present
at the hanging.
Noah wants Murray to erect the
scaffold, stating that he doesn't mind
the hanging, but he wants to be sure

DENNY CASE IS ARGUED
APPEAL IN DENNY CASE ARGUED
BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT.

In the supreme court yesterday
four criminal appeals were argued
and submitted to the court. Three of
them were from Williams county and
included the case of the state VS..
Denny, state VS.. Minor and state VS..
Chase. The Denny case involves the
former mayor of Williston, who was
convicted of the crime of assisting in
bringing in stolen horses from Mon
tana. The other two were charged
with infractions of the :. prohibition
law. The fourth case comes from Nc
Henry county and is charge against
one Laechelt, who was convicted of
embezZlement and given q year and
seven months in the penitentiary.
Judge Palda of Minot represented the
appellants in the Williams county ap-
peals; Tyler & Woodward of Omemee
represented Laechelt, and States At
torney Coger looked after the inter.
| ests of the state In the Williams
county matters the attorney generals S
Office presented the states side of the
matter.
Two civil cases from Emmons coun.
ty also were brought to the attention
of the court, with Messrs Lynn and
Armstrong of Linton us opposing
counsel. The cases involve title to
some valuable Emmons county land
and were very important from legal
standpoint, but rather dray to the av-
erage mans way of thinking.
Another civil matter that was ar
gued was an insurance case from Fos-
ter county, with j. G. Mcfarland of
Jamestown and r. M. Pollock of Far
go on opposite sides. The litigation
grows out of a fire loss which the
company is resisting ON the ground
that the local agent who issued the
policy had exceeded his authority.

The Authors Story Of the Origin Of
"My Maryland"

The Authors Story Of the Origin Of
"My Maryland"
Brander Matthews wrote an account
Of the circumstances under which
Maryland, My Maryland" was writ
ten,, and the POEMS author, James
Ryder Randall, approved Professor
Matthew'S account. In April, 1861,
Colonel Randall read in the New Or
leans Delta news Of the attack on the
Massachusetts troops as they passed
through Baltimore.
'"This account greatly excited me, :"
Mr.. Randall wrote In answer to let
ter from Professor Matthews. Il had
long been absent from my native city,
and the startling event there Influenced
my mind. That night could not dis
miss from my mind what had read
in the paper. About midnight l arose
lit a candle and went to my desk
Some powerful influence seemed t.
possess me, and almost involuntarily
I proceeded to write the song Of My
Maryland Ri, a
II remember that this idea seemed tc
take shape as music in my brain-some
Wild air that cannot now recall. The
whole poem was dashed Off rapidly
when once begun. 1t was not com
posed in cold blood, but under what
may be called confiagration. Of the
senses If not an, inspiration Of the in
tellect. No one was more surprised
than was at the widespread and in
stantaneous popularity had been sc
strangely stimulated to write"

Doing Chores.

To dig ones own potatoes, to shock
ones own corn, to pick ones own ap-
pies, to pile ones own squashes at
ones own barn! 1t is like filling ones
system with an antitoxin before going
into; fever plagued country. One is
immune to winter after this, provided
he stays to bake his apples In his own
wood fire. One works himself into q
glow with all his digging and picking
and piling that lasts until warm wealth
er comes again, and along with this
harvest glow comes stealing over him
the after harvest peace. 1t is the Sc

Convict Nabbed.

A year or SO ago a convict by the
name of Page escaped from the
guards while working at the capitol
building, and Warden Hellstrom has
just received word of his whereabouts.
From here the convict made his way
to Minneapolis, where he was soon in
the tolls for robbery. He successfully
feigned insanity and was sent to the
insane asylum, from which he ESCAPED
and went west, where he got into
more trouble and was claimed by the
pen authorities of Idaho, from which
prison 1T appears he had escaped to
come to this state and commit rob-
berry, which landed him in the pen at
this city, from which he escaped as
