defense has been no less so, accord
ing 10 accounts. The conference be-
tween Mrs. Ledbeter and her attorneys
and between Frank Smith and his at
torney have been frequent and pro-
longed. A r. Pfau. ir., son of Judge

is Frank Smiths attorney.
Efforts on the part OF persons inter
ested to learn the feeling OF those
summoned to serve on the petit jury
are said to have met with poor sue
cess. There is Eaid to have been one
OF the strongest points in the interest
of the defense in the last Kotch trial,
and If he tactics were to be repeated
1t would not be surprising.
Question of Priority.
Which case to bring to trial first,
taht Of Mrs Ledbeter Of that Of Smith

much discussion. IL Emith should be

to the trial of Mrs. Ledbeter first.
The trials will prove expensive for

The German Evangelical Association

more people of this nationality came
to the community these congregations
grew to such an extent that 1t was
deemed best to organize a society.
This was done and the same year
(1879) the first church was construct
ed. Here regular services have been
held ever since All during this time
the little congregation has been ac-
tive In promoting the christian faith
and education. 1t is a matter of record
that this church has been among the
front rank of churches in bringing to
the city able evangelists and lecturers
to advance the cause OF the church of
Christ and to elevate the members ed
ucationaIly.
The Ministers.
Since the church was formed these
have been eleven pastors who have
filled the pulpit. The first minister to
be permanently located in Fargo was
the Rev. C. w. Stegner. He formed
the society and built the church build
ing. The succeeding preachers have
been: Rev. p. r. Movius, Rev. J.
Keinholz, Rev. c. Brill, Rev. w. Suck
ow; Rev. e. Oertli, Rev. S. F. Brown.
Rev. e. Bectchel, j. Brookmuller, HI.
Lowen and L. N. Bingham. the pres
ent pastor.
All of these ministers nave labored
with zeal in building up the little
church to its present standing and of
these none more than the Reverend
Bingham. He is active in promoting
the interests of his church and must
be given credit for increasing the con-
gregation to large extent.
This church maintains an active and
large Sunday school which is doing a
good work in supplying the required
christian education for the young.
There is a splendidly organized young
peoples society and woman's organ
ization which has and is doing much
toward advancing the cause and pro-
noting the missionary work.

furnishing place of worship for the
Germans that came to Fargo, many of
whom had been members Of the de-

History Of Fargo Church.
The history of the Fargo church
dates back to 1879 when the society
was permanently organized. During
these years 1t has lived quiet and
unostentatious life, enjoying a healthy
growth. Large and noticeable histor-
ical events are few but the archives
of the congregation are filled with
hundreds of Things which speak well
for the little church as leader in the
good christian works of the city and
state.
While no church organization was
formed in Fargo until 1879, there were
services in Fargo as early as 1873-a
time when Fargo was mere hamlet
of frame and canvas. From That time
until the formation of the society SER
vices were held here at irregular in
tervals, ministers being sent here from
the Minnesota conference and the
Minneapolis district to preach to the
German people of the city in their
own language.
