TATE MURDER CASE,

The life sentence of a negro named
viii Tate, from Yazoo county, charged
with the murder of another negro
named Bunk Dickson, was reversed by
Judge Whitfield's decision, based
largely upon the error of the lower
court in allowing an instruction to the
jury for the state which practically
cut the defendant off from the right
of self-edefense. Another point, how
ever, was the admission of incompe-
tent testimony.

president of and general manager
of the 500 line. said today that the
new line would not be built this
year. but will ultimately be con-
structed by the 500. The work
will possibly be done in 1910. An
examination of the map shows the
strategic value of the new line.
Traffic off the southern route of the
500 between Portal and Minneapo-
lis will be handled over the Broo-
ten line, where it is destined to Du-
luth and lake ports. This route
will be open July l. The traffic
from the northern lines, including
the new Thief River lls-Kenmare
line, will be handled over the new
Thief River Falls-Sotan line. The
extension will be $50 miles long,
onlv 62 miles longer than the road
which is to be opened July l be-
tween Brooten and Duluth. 1t
