There is some talk OF establishing

DID A WEED
CAUSE DEATH?


MincA n. d, April 1.-whether

the death OF Ave horses in the Russian
settlement near veIva In June. 1907.
is a question for the court to decide
10 passing on the motion for a new
trial by F. b. Lambert, attorney for
the three Haakons convicted OF the
murder.
In the review Of the testimony two
or three OF the witnesses are shown
10 have lied outright others are ac-
cused of falsifying, others contradict
one another and hardly fact remains
that can be stipulated By ATTORNEYS.
One witness testified that he peeked
through nole in the wall OF shack
and saw the Haakons mixing the moi
son. A picture of the shack shows
not the slightest sign of a hole. An
other witness testified as to the date
or the purchase Of the poison by one
OF the Russians, the best Testimony
shows that that Russian was at home
on his farm and that two OF hts broth
er's horses had been killed the night
before by lightning.
One doctor testified that the norses
surely died of strychnine poisoning
while Professor Bolley says that from
reading the post morten testimony he
believes that they might have died
from eating water hemlock.
The motions will be finished this
afternoon when the court viii give its
decision.

BURKE'S KNIFE AGAIN
SIashed the EllendaIe Industrial Nor
NAL School Out Of all Proportion
With Some Others.

Glendale Record: The action of
Governor Burke In slicing off nearly
one third of the legislative appropria-
ton for the Glendale Normal-Indus-
trial school is open to severe criticism.
While 1T will not be argued that It
was necessary to reduce the appro-
priation as a whole still proportion
ately Governor Burke did greater in
justice to the local school than any
other institution. The amount asked
for and granted by the legislature was
$51,500 exactly the amount which
President Kern deemed absolutely
necessary to carry on the work for
the institution for the next two years.
The amount was reduced by the gov
ernor $4,000 leaving but $4,000 to
maintain the school and make all
necessary improvements for the next
two years. In this connection it is in
teresting tS note the manner in which
Governor Burke treated the other in
situations. The State University was
granted $4,000, and the amount was
passed by the governor. The May
Vile normal appropriation OF $50 900
was cut but $500, leaving that insti-
tuition $4,000. The School of Science
at Wahpeton was given an appropria-
ton of $4,000, and the amount sane
toned by the governor. The Valley
City normal was allowed $4,000 and
In a spirit OF economy Governor Burke
reduced the amount by $500 And be
1t remembered that 1t was the Valley
City contingent which first, last and
all the time fought against the inter
ests of the Ellendale school. The agri-
cultural college OF. Fargo, which is I'M
questionably doing the greatest and
best work of any of the state institu-
tons was granted $155,000 but Cover
nor Burke reduced the amount by
$4,000 greatly gripping it's usefulness
as is the case with the Glendale
school, The question naturally arises
why hte normal-industrial should have
its appropriation reduced $4,000 and
the Valley City institution gets prac-
tically what it wanted. The same can
also be said of the other institutions
with the exception Of the agricultural
college. IL Governor Burke could be
induced to visit Glendale and see for
himself the surprisingly great work
carried on at the normal, industrial,
there Is no question whatever but that
he would change his mind in regard
to the institution, and on another
occasion, IL in his power, would raise
the appropriation instead of reducing
1t to tine lowest possible working basis.
