was attacked by lion.

The unfortunate occurrence. the
first OF its kind that has befallen the

other hunters to take greater care in

its hunt when the runner arrived and
he was not able to say whether the

Washington. D. C.-The income tax

tention of the senate during the davs
sitting Of that body and after discus
sion of an hour or more its further con
sideration was postponed until June Is
by a vote OF 10 to 34 This action was

effort but pleaded for the postpone

8 to 0 at Athletic park Sunday after
noon In an excellent exhibition of the
National game. The Cubs did not
allow single player of the visitors to
set foot on third base IN this game,
and Ploof for the home team was at
all times dependable. allowing but
two hits during the entire game.
These were made in the last two
innings when he slackened up little.
The Randall team put up a good
game, ana although the twirIing of
their south paw. Lattimer, was good,
the Cubs buckled onto a total of eight
hits during the game.
The Cubs scored in the first and
fourth innings, Ploof and johnson
bringing in the first two runs on a
two Dagger each and two errors.
johnson scored the last run in the
fourth inning on two Dagger, a pass

Absrdaen, s. D., with brains enough
to accumulate $1,000, seems to lack
good sense in other ways, for he sent
that amount to Burrel e. lopez, at

ancient Spanish swindle which has
been worked IN America for years.
But his luck Is more abundant than
his good sense, for the draft has been

HOPING TO BE sCLEA RED

BemidJi Mimi, Aug. Paul
Fourier, who has served two years
of life sentence in the state
penitentiary at saltwater for murder
IN the first degree for which he was
convicted IN the spring of 1907, is
again an inmate of the Beltrami
county Jail here, having been brought
back for the purpose of defending
the charge of killing N. U. Dahl and
Aagot DAHL his daughter, at Curing,
in this county, on April Z, 1904, the
supreme court having granted him a
new trial.
Fournier is somewhat pale and has
lost some weight since he was last
here, but he is enjoying the best Of
health and optimistic concerning the
outcome of the new trial.
The testimony OF my brother,
Owen, and his wife was the only
evidence that influenced the jury in
any way to bring verdict of guilty
against me, - declared Fourier.
''Owen claimed that said at one
time when l was in fit of anger that
they were making an outlaw of me
up there at Curing. and that I killed
the Dahls and that would kill some
more people up in these woods Owen
deliberately lied; I never said any
thing of the kind, and were he alive
now I 90 not believe that he would
repeat the same testimony he gave
against me at the trial.
"The day before l was taken to
saltwater to begin serving my life
sentence, I really knew something
about the murder OF the Dahls and
that / would tell it, but was afraid
Of being killed by the gang around
Qui1ing.
Il still assert that I know some.
thing of the crime and it tell it, it
would clear me entirely OF any con-
nection with the brutal murder.
Il was always afraid Of that gang
around Quirlng. I had not proved up
on my claim and knew there were
some of them who would not hesitate
to kill me If told all I knew
regarding the killing of the Dahls.
I am sure that I Will be acquitted
at the conclusion of the new trial as
I was convicted solely on crcumstan-
tlal evidence. and that of the most
fllmsy character.

who voted right on the tariff bill. He
says that Tawney Will be the only one

Lafayette, Ind, Aug. 5.-Willlam J.
Bryan, who has been making
Chautauqua addresses in Indiana, has
this to say last night in regard to the
new tariff law that passed congress
yesterday:
1T IS worse than the democratic
leaders thought the republicans would
dare do. It not only provides for an
actual increase in the average rate, but
1t provides for conditional increase
of Is per cent more.
IF it does not expose the public
view the lniquitus protective system,
it is difficult to imagine an excess tnat
would awaken the public. =
