AN AGED INDIAN DIES
Napiasu, a Well Known Indian Dies
in GranerV

About 9 o'clock Friday morning, an
old Indian, Napiasua, by name, ap-
peared with his little boy at the door
of Dennis Doheny's cabin on Graham's
Island and asked for something to
Ceat. This was given him, and soon
after he left. 1t has since transpired
that he wnet. to Doheny's granary, a
mile distant from the house, where he
layed down and died. The little boy,
much frightened by the apparent un-
consciousness of his aged father, for
he had failed to awaken him, ran to
Doheny's house for assistance. The
men hurried to the scene. but too late,
for the aged warrior had gone to the
happy hunting grounds. The body
was taken to Fort Totten, near which
place the Indian had formerly resided.
Napiasua at the time OF his death
was rs years old. He belonged to the
Sioux tribe, and was regarded among
the Indians on the reservation as be-
ing one of their most influential mem:
He spoke no English, being firmly in-=s
ured In the Language Of his chi ldhood.35
He took an active part Il the famous
Minnesota massacre which occurred
at New Vim ia 1885,. and tradition has
il that he was accounted as one of the
foremost In that ri a,,tchery

Glass, q. s. weather observer, then
took the stand land testified as to the
moons phases during the month Of
last October. This was move by the
defense to attempt to disprove the
girls statement that she recognized
Mcdonald by the light of the moon to
prove that there was no bright moon
at the time of night the assault was
said to have been committed. The
defense evidently failed in this at
tempt, for Mr.. Glass's testimony show
ed that about Oct. 20, there was full
moon, it not having set until some
time in the morning. Mcdonald, the
defendant, then took the stand in his
own behalf. He fatty denied all of
the statements made by Ruth Gill,
and gave his testimony in clear man.

resentative Blagen and County Com
missioner Foss, all of Benson county,

titled as to the good character of Nc

Mr.. Serumgard opened for the state.
He spoke for twenty minutes, and he
clearly set forth the facts In the case,
as deduced from the testimony. He
was followed by H. M. Gray, for the
defense, who consumed fifteen min
utes in speaking. He said that if the
allegation had been true. as alleged
in the complaint, the deed could not
have been consumated unless she had
been chloroformed, as DIR. Jones had
testified. Mr.. McClory then finished
for the defense, speaking forty min
utes. He spoke Of the absence. Of ma
terial evidence for the state, and re-
minded the Jurors of the questions

fully before they were accepted as
Jurors to try the case. He thoroughly

accused of rape on the person of Ruth |
Gill, fifteen year old girl living near
Penn, was taken up. The rest of the
morning was consumed N selecting a
Jury, and at noon, only a few Of them
had been selected. =.
After the noon recess, during which
time Judge Edward Engerud Of Fargo,
had arrived in the city to assist the
states attorney in his prosecution of
the case, the jury was completed,
there being four or five challenges and
pre-emptories by the state and the de-
tense. The court room was crowded,
the available standing room even, be-
ing taken up. There were no women
in the room, which is compliment
to some of the gentler sex, who some
times flock to these cases, where sal
acious testimony is sure to be deduc-
ed. Judge Cowan instructed the bail
,, ifs not to allow any person under
! eighteen years of age to enter the
room, and his orders were adhered to.
The trial then proceeded. Miss Gill,
the complaining witness, first took the
stand and answered most of the peril
nent questions put to her in firm
and audible voice. However, when
under cross-examination, her voice
failed her at times, but on the whole
she undoubtedly left good impress
sion with the jury. Her mother was
the next witness, she testifying to
some details not included in the girls
examination, Curt Gill, brother to
F.; the girl, then testified. He said that
he brought the defendant to the city
and turned him over to the Jail auth
critics, and that during the ride to
Devils Lake McD Donald had admitted
that he had been in the girls room
once, After the testimony Of Gill had
been taken, the court adjourned until
the next morning. sS1:zf :.G% ssj 5..,5 s.;

Called by the state was DR.. Clinton
Smith, who testified as=5to the physical

The state then rested, and the de-
Tense moved the court that the jury
be Instructed to return 4 verdict Of
not guilty on the ground that the
state had failed to prove the allega-
ton, as stated in the Information.
This was verrnled and the defense

4 Judge Cowan, after hearing a
lengthy argument from the attorneys,
Instructed the jury to return a verdict
of mot guilty." which they did without
leaving the jury box. The verdict was
greeted by vociforous hand clapping
by some of the spectators, which was
instantly suppressed by the court, he
saying that IL such a circumstance

y The case of Fred Olson, accused Of
running a pig at Churchs Ferry, was
then called. Had the robbers who re-
Ecently looted the Spare bank seen fit
to return to that village Tuesday after
noon, they would undoubtedly have
met with little resistance, as half the
town seemed to be present in court

The jury reported In the Olson case
at 1855, their verdict being mot
guilty" During the case only one wit.
ness was produced by the state who
testified that he had procured and pait
for liquor at Olson's place. This was
evidently not regarded by the jury al
being sufficient evidence that com
mon nuisance had been maintained
in the place, and they brought in {
verdict accordingly. At one time P.

fendant, made q motion for the judg
to instruct the jury to return verdic

Cigarette Facts.
Edited by Mrs Sturdlvon

The number of eigaretts made in the United States i'll 1900 was 3,s6s, ,534,415
 It IS estimated that 1900 Amer ican boys begin the cigarette habit every day.
 A boy conquered by the cigar cite IS conquered for all else. In the smoke of his cigarette the most precious chances for life float away beyond recall.
 Excessive cigarette smoking increases the hearts action very materially-in some instances, g to 30 beats minute.
 NO devotee of tobacco ever graduated at the head of his class at Harvard.
 High school teachers say that cigarette smokers stand at least 10 per cent lower than their non- smoking classmates and that they are untrustworthy, untruthtul and deceitful.
 The more expensive cigarettes are really the worst, for the chief item of cost in them Is the opium which is used to doctor the to- bacco.
 The cigarette is the royal road to the penitentiary. It Is re, sponsible for more crime than any other one thing today, SC far as the juvenile court IS con- cerned.
 Cigarettes create longing fo1 other stimulantS and the cigar cite smoker IS on the road to the saloon. Thirsty smokers are the saloons best patrons.
 All the large railroad compa' nies, business firms and banking institutions practically debar th' cigarette users; thus the doors o opportunity are closed to these smokers. The fight against tht cigarette is fight tor civiliza ton.

STATE TREASURY
 FACING A DEFICIT.

Assuming that the expenses ot the next legislature will be III the neighborhood of S150,00 the amount appropriated for mllage, per diem and contingent expenses by the last four legislatures, d de- ficit in the general revenue fund seems inevitable before the close of the legislative session, which begins January Il. Without a doubt thls fund will be exhausted several weeks before the close ot the session. This does not 1n- clude the expenses otrunnlng the state government and maintaining the charitable institutions of the State. As Auditor Moore says in his forthcoming report to the leg islature, the expenses of the State government must be reduced or receipts increased. This IS the proposition that now confronts Governor-eleet Donaghey, and he IS now trying hard to solve It. That the next legislature will completely revise the general revenue laws of the State IS gen. orally conceded, and Gov. Dona- ghey Is now at work forming plan to supercede the present system. The governor will rec ommend creation of a State tax commission to have power to equalize and adjust all assess
 nents after they have passed the scrutiny of the various county assessors and equalization boards. In this way 1t is believed that the assessment can be more than trebled. d.-L. K. Correspondence in Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
