west Of Blackjack, Returns from
a Visit ''0ut West"

'Beltrami county is far and away
ahead of any part of Oregon as
place of residence or to make home
and engage in farming pursuits"
says C.. O. Larson, who has just re.
turned from southern Oregon, where
he spent several months looking
over the country and looking for
acceptable opportunities to invest
some money.
Mr.. Larson had been a resident of
Beltrami county for eleven years,
making his home eight miles north.
west Of Blackjack, where he took
100 acres, in the early day of that
vicinity, asa homestead, Mr.. Lar
son had heard much of Oregon and
last fall went out to that state on a
trip of investigation. He looked
over the lands there, which he
stated were selling for from SIS to
$110 per acre, and purchased some
eighty acres, simply as speculation,
which he will again sell, If he obtains
raise in his original price paid.
The land will have to be irrigat-

exactly what would desire to farm
on, myself. am firmly of the
opinion that there is no country like
northern Minnesota for a man of
moderate means to make his home
in, and this is the place to get a
good start, on little or no capital,
and easily forge to the front as
successful farmer and .dairyman."

make their report. Mr.. John
son stated that he thought the city
would be obliged to put in a
sceptic tank some time during this
season.
Chairman Kirk, who has been
giving city affairs considerable
attention the past two weeks stated
to the council that an order fol-
1855 drawn in favor of Yves Wright

After retiring at 3:25 yesterday

After retiring at 3:25 yesterday
afternoon and spending the even
ing and all last night wrestling
with the evidence in the case of
the State VS., Barnard Nelson, the
jury came into court at 9 o'clock
this morning and asked for instruc-
tons from the court relative to
some matters which had been dis
cussed pretty thoroughly in the
Jury room, with no satisfaction to
the jurymen.
O. E. Jackson of this city acted
as foreman of the jury, and he
submitted several questions to
Judge Stanton, concerning posi-
bic clemency for. the defendant, if
a recommendation for clemency
would have any effect on the SEN
tence OF the prisoner and if verdict
of manslaughter could be returned
by the jury, as we'll as asking if
they could find that the Barnard
Nelson indictment was not a true
indictment in the first or second
degree.
The questions were asked by
the foreman and answered by the
court as follows:
The Foreman:-Your Honor, has
this jury right to ask clemency?
The Court:-There is no statutory
provision to that effect, but it is
sometimes done.
The Foreman:-And if so to what
extent?
The Court:-It is my idea and
opinion that any recommendation
for clemency which might be made
by a jury would not be binding in
any way upon the court, and the
court would still be left to exercise
is discretion, because of the absence
of any statutory provision of that
kind. However, as before stated,
it is not an uncommon thing for
jury to do, but I could make no
statement as to what the effect of
such recommendation would be upon
the court.
The Foreman:-Can verdict of
manslaughter be rendered by this
jury?
The Court:-It cannot.
The Foreman:-Can this Jury
find that the Barnard Nelson
indictment was not a true indict-
ment in the first or second degree?
The Court:-It cannot.
After receiving the instructions
from Judge Stanton, the members
of the jury retired to again deliber-
