WEDNESDAY
Case of State VS. Fred Burns
charged with the larceny of flax
went to the jury in the middle
of the afternoon having been on
nearly all day, on instructions
from the court to bring in a ver-
dict for the defendant.
The case of John Burke for
the murder of Mazahowaste was
| then called.
THURSDAY
The work of getting a jury in
the murder case was completed
before dinner, and when court
convened in tire afternoon some-
thing of a surprise was sprung
when the States Attorney Nc
Nulty announced that the state
was willing to allow Burke to
change his plea from mot
guilty" to guilty of manslaugh-
ter in the second degree" and he
so pied. Under this degree four
years would be the maximum
sentence. The jury was dis
charged and the court will pro-
nounce sentence Saturday.
The case Of state VS. Gideon
Sing was dismissed.

Special Correspondence:
(To late for last week)
The Catholic social which was
held at j. M. Forsythe's Feb. IA
was a decided success.
Quite a number of the gentle
men from this vicinity attended
the series of lectures in Sisse-
ton.
Syver Strand has not fully re-
covered from his recent illness,
but is slowly improving.
John Gelinrke has sold his
farm to Mr.. Forsythe and will
locate elsewhere in the spring.
If it would not be taken amiss
we would like to offer a few
criticisms on the eddy Items
which have appeared in the diff
ferent Sisseton papers from
time to time. In our belief,
local correspondents should aim
to record the happenings which
are of general interest to the
reading public, and not make a
newspaper a medium for such
things as ill natured remarks,
illusions to jokes known only to
a few, and "joshing" of lovers
which is nauseating to say the
least. Now if the gay Butter
fly" of the Courant aspires to
further journalistic honors the
soonec the said correspondent
learns to distinguish between
wit and insipid Stiffness the bet
ter.

Threshermen to Meet.

The Roberts and Marshall
county threshermen will meet at
the Eagle hall in Sisseton, S. D.,
March 18th, 1908, for the pur-
pose of discussing matters of in
terest to tkreshermen, in short
to meet and become better ac-
quainted and have an all round
good time. The committee has
arranged for the Eagles hall for
that evening. The meeting will
be called to order at 8 p. m.
sharp. After the meeting has
adjourned there will be card
playing and other kinds of
amusement. At midnight an
oyster supper will be served,
after which those wishing to
continue the game may do So.
1t will be impossible for the
committee to get the names of
all the threshermen, and it is
not their intention to leave out
anyone who we know owns a
threshing rig. It will be ex-
pected that everyone receiving
an invitation see their neighbor
threshermen, end if he has not
received a notice, ask him to
come.

STALWARTS
HAVE THE POLE.
HAVE A CLEAR LEAD IN FAC
TIONAL FIGHT TO DATE.
Governor Crawford in a Water
town Interview Co .cedes It.
How the Figures Cast Up at
This Time.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. "a. The
situation between the factions is
this state for the April conven-
ton to select the delegation to
the republican national conven-
ton shows the stalwart faction
to be in the lead. so tar as the
selection of delegates thru coun-
ty committees is concerned.
This is conceded by the insur-
gents, who assert that from this
time on they will have their in
ming thru the operation of the
primary law, the rest of the
counties making their selections
in that manner.
Both sides claim to be certain
of victory in the April conven-
ton, but the public utterances of
some of the insurgent leaders,
among them Governor Crawford
himself, in Watertown inter
view, appear to be in line with a
policy to let themselves down
easy. The letter of Attorney
General Clark, asking for har-
mony and no contest in the April
convention is also pointed to as
an evidence of weakening. But
in justice to the attorney general
it is only fair to state that he has
been taking that position ever
since the contest commenced,
and at one of the meetings of
the lnsurgent faction he intro
duced resolution to that effect.
but was turned down.
INsURGENT cONCEDE LOSSES.
The insurgents admit they
have been "outfgured" in coun-
ties which they claimed as their
own, and which selected divided
delegations, and that is is thru
this manipulation that they are
at present so far behind, but yet
insist that they will come out all
right. In the meantime Cover
nor Crawford and Senator Kit
tredge are at the head of their
forces, and with many assistants
are at work, and neither side is
leaving anything to chance.
In the meantime, candidates
for legislative and county tickets
in the different counties of the
state are beginning to appear,
but so far most of them are at
tempting, as far as possible, to
keep out of the factional issue.
They are announcing themselves
as republicans. without stating
which faction they will support.
So far the republicans do not
appear to be putting forward
any candidates as delegates to
the national republican conven-
ton, evidently leaving that to be
settled by the convention when
it meets in Huron. But it is
practically certain that Senator
Kittridge or Governor Crawford
will head the delegation, what
ever the rest of its makeup may
be.
