The question Of smoking was burn.

and it was not until 1886 that Whites
gave up room to the users of tobac-

relegated to the most dismal apart

the tradition. and when Whites re.
fused to extend the accommodation for

Vesta sank YEARLY upon shoe box
and gazed forlornly about her. The
last Of the packing was accomplished.
The last nail had been driven home
into the shoe box, which contained the
books that were to be kept out for the
new home. The rest Of the beloved
library remained in the cases. gaps
showing where the selections had been
made
The corner Of the lower shelf had
been the resting place Of. the blue and
Silver "Pilgrim's Progress" ever since
Vesta could remember, book to be
taken out Sunday afternoons and car

" explained time after time the mean
Ing of the fascinating woodcuts.
There was very large gap where
the encyclopedias had been. She had
bought those with the eggs and butter
money. AS her eyes roamed over the
partly filed cases she could fill every
gap from memory
AND as 1t was with the books, so was
1t with the rest Of the household be-
longings. Here and there blank cor

Very little was to be shipped, for the
way was far and freight rates were
high. Tomorrow the neighbors would
gather and John Berwin would hang
| out the red flag. By nightfall the
house would be emptied and it's con.
tents scattered through the farmhouses
for miles around.
Tears came unbidden to Vestas
eyes as she looked about. Her earliest
memories were Of the homely living
room with Its rag carpet and the com.
Portable rocking chairs on either side
Of the stove>in winter or standing in
front Of the north windows in summer
when the double sashes were taken
down and the wind blew through the
house, softly scented by the blooms
from the orchard on the other side OF
the we'll kept fence.
1t was the only home Vesta had ever

Dahl's lawyers, they objecting.
w. G. Rodgers of Minneapolis, audi
tor and adjuster of the North Western
Credit Bureau, was then called. All
that Rodgers testified to was that he
reached the city last Tuesday week,
being called here for the purpose of
holding an inventory over the alleged
stock of the XXI. At this point in
the proceedings a serious question of
the law as to the evidence allowed
arose, and the court took a recess until
the next morning.
The state asked that the court dis
miss John Rudesell, clerk in the
employee of the Xxi, claiming that
there was not sufficient evidence
against him to warrant show for
conviction.
All day Wednesday was consumed
by taking of testimony. At noon the
state rested, without bringing up any
especially damaging evidence against
the defendants. The defense then
moved that the court instruct the jury
to return a verdict Of not guilty, for
the reason that the state failed to
make prima-facia case of the alleged
allegation. The motion was overruled.
After dinner Christian Dahl was the
first witness who took the stand. He
testified in his own behalf, and his
story was material denia, of the
story told by Houghton> He said that
On the afternoon OF January Is, the
time 1t was alleged that Houghton
heard the plot, he and Thompson went
out to the "bungaloo" near the Great
Northern round house, and were not in
the basement of the store together that
afternoon. Edward Thompson, the
next witness, substantiated this testi-
mony. He was asked by the state if
he had ever been arrested, and he ad-
| mitted that he had been once, on a
| charge of vagrancy. This admission
was used against the defendant in the
summing up Of the case by the prose.

Mcdonald Found Guilty.

OuoOo UscpVoCu W
Mcdonald Found Guilty.
The jury in the Mcdonald case
brought in verdict of guilty in the
first degree at about quarter past
nine last Thursday evening.
Joe Roy Gets Free.
The case of the two young men, who
were accused of stealing a matter of
$50 bushels of wheat from Pennington
Bros, of Edmore, occupied the atten-
ton of the court last Friday and part
of Monday. The result was that En-
win M. Hamrick one of the accused,
was dismissed, there being. no case
against him, and Joe Roy, the other
defendant, was acquitted by the jury.
Dahl Case Up Next,
The alleged arson case was then TAX
Ell up. Christian Dahl, John Rudesell
and Edward Thompson were accused
of entering into a conspiracy to burn
up part of the new Flynn block.
The court room was crowded, which
testified to the fact that the hearsay
of the case was widespread, and OF
great local interest Messrs. Anderson
& Traynor and Barnett appeared fof
the defendants. Edward FLYNN, the
owner Of the building, was the first
witness called for the state. He des-
cribed the situation and the uses of his
building by the different tenants min.
utely. At noon he was still on the
stand.
After recess had been taken, his ex-
animation was completed, during
which objections, overrulings and sus-
tainings seemed to have a prominent
part.
John Houghton, who testified that he
was working in the employee of Joseph
Jillek at the time, in the capacity OF
plumber next occupied the stand, and
was subjected to severe grilling by
Dahls lawyers. He said that he had
overheard the conversation between
Dahl and Thompson held in stage
whisper, to the effect that Thompson
was to set fire to the basement and
that Dahl would have plenty of gaso
line and kerosene on the spot. A plat
Of the basement of the XXI store was
offered in evidence. He said that, by
help of a peek-hole at the steam pipes
In the basement of the next store ad
jacent, he was enabled to hear the
whole plot. He offered evidence that
was damaging to the defendants, but
which was torn to pieces by their law

Charles Russell, fire chief of the city
was the next witness. Mr.. Russell
did not testify to much, for his testi
mony was not allowed to be heard b,
