stbad'' man, and that he often held
up men.
In confusion, Mr.. Funkley stated
that if Nelson had told the jury that
he committed the crime and did it in
self-defense, they would say not
guilty; but Nelson has steadfastly
denied having any connection with
the crime.
H. H. Wheelock and William
Carlson were called by the defense.
Carlson's evidence was important,
in that he swore positively that w.
E. Hyatt had said, while at Matt
Hafner's place at Puposky, that the
gun which Nelson had the night of
the tragedy was not the old horse
pistol, but a new gun, with rubber
stock. Carlson also stated that
Hyatt had repeated the remark rela-
tive to the gun when they we're in
Bemidji while the grand jury was
considering the Nelson case.
Nels Oman corroborated the evi-
dence given by Carlson, relative to
the gun. -. III. Ii
Miss Halderman testified to hav-
ing taken the notes at the prelim-
mary hearing of Nelson.
Frank A. Gustafson generally cor
roborated the evidence given by
Carlson and Oman.
Barnard Andrew Nelson, the
defendant, was placed on the stand
in his own behalf.
Nelson was somewhat nervous
while being sworn, but Immediately
he was seated in the witness chair,
he became cool and collected. He
! answered every question readily and
distincly and made a very good
witness in his own behalf. g.
Nelson told of being in Jail since
his arrest January, 3rd; that he
owned a homestead near Fowlds.
Told of all his actions two days pre-
vious to the killing of Fuller; told of
having the much. talked of weapon in
his possession the day before the
murder; had it the evening of the
murder at Haffner's place; took it
home with him and it was stolen
during the evening.
Nelson told of his actions in plac-
ing a stick in the holster after he
found the gun was stolen, and went
to Fowlds, where he bought drinks
for himself and others. -
Nelson told of his ton
with Hyatt and maintained that he
had said nothing about his pistol.
Said he went home about 2:3O in the
morning and slept until 6, when
alarm woke him. "
Nelson told of going to Puposky
the forenoon of the murder and of
coming home and being arrested
when near his place. +,
He had heard of the Fuller killing
in Puposky, but people seemed to
avoid talking about it when he was
about. Never had heard of or knew
! Morris Fuller.
Deliberately asked if it was true
that he had killed Fuller, Nelson
replied in a strong, emphatic voice:
1t is not" +.
Nelson said he was single man
and had never been arrested; was
justice of the peace and town clerk
for several years.

NELSON'S FATE WILL SOON
Be IN HANDS OF JURY
Continued from First Page

The county attorney questioned
Nelson in every conceivable way
relative to the manner in which he
claimed his gun had been stolen
and tried to get the witness mixed
up relative to whether he could
have seen any one around his house
when he claimed the gun was stolen.
Nelson stuck practically to his
original story, although Mr.. McKus-
lex rather ridiculed Nelson's version
that anyone could have come from
the woods to the north of his build
ing, torn away the screen from the
window, broken the window, stolen
the gun and got away from the
house without being seen, all within
the space of four or five minutes.
Nelson was kept on the stand
for cross examlnation until the
noon adjournment. He admitted
that he had met the three young
men on the road a short distance
from his house but had said nothing
to them about the loss of his gun;
neither had he SAID anything at
Fowlds, either in Saxrud's place
or Hyatt's saloon.
Just prior to adjournment Mel
son told of going to the sporting
house with Rex Werner and two
other men and of having some
little trouble with Werner while at
the house.
Nelson declared that he had not
talked to anyone the night Of the
murder about shooting.
County Attorney McKusick closed
the Nelson case for the state yerter-
day afternoon with the evidence of
Chester Oracle, who corrorborated
the evidence given by Bella, as to
being in the Hyatt saloon and going
out and discovering what Bella said
was a drunken man but proved to be
the body of Fuller, weltering in his

her hair, her form. Maybe he would
not care to have her back. Then more
tears.
She began u letter to Ezra when
there was u strange, heavy step ON the
rickety stairs which was yet curiously
familiar. She stood up, listening. She
was very pale. Opening the door in
response to the knock, she stood fac
ing her husband.
Ezra she faltered weakly.
Edna, my dear, l couldn't stand life
without you any longer"
She fell into his arms to be strained
to his heart while she sobbed:
"Oh, Ezra, l am 50 unhappy. | ann
a failure. My books are good for moth
ing. They are not true. l vas writ
ing to you to ask you-to go home"
Then they sat and talked of the dear
old ranch and many other things.
Edna noticed something new, more
alert, deeper and stronger in Ezra's
name aud dimly fancied he used
much better language than before and
chose his words with more discrimina-
ton.
She showed him the extract in the
paper from the book that had made
her SO homesick.
What will you say, Edna, when /
tell you that | wrote that book? l
was so lonesome after you Went that
l thought Id study some to pass the
time. l had Il teacher up on the
ranch four years. and then ! kept on
reading and studying. and suddenly.
almost without knowing how | did it.

copy"
"Oh. Ezra. l was writing only
dreams. | see it now, and you have
written truths. Oh. | am ashamed"
well, you needn't be. You are the
]cleyerest, sweetest and best girl in the
world. When shall we start!"
"Now-this minute." said Edna.

who stood before him, with defiance in
every line Of her pretty face. Her
shoulders were thrown back and her
right foot advanced. while her hands
we're clinched as if for a combat.
This ready acceptance Of her ex-
pressed determination annoyed her.
She had expected opposition and was
prepared for fighting 1t from every
standpoint. Her arguments had been
carefully prepared 10 defeat anything
he might say. And here he had accept
cd her decision without q word. He
asked 10 concession. made no appeal.
1t was e2asperaring.
Ezra Robins was six feet tall and
big in proportion. Edna was a little
mite Of q wolnan whom he could car

loved her with q mighty love and

cheeks, pale blue eyes. ashen blond
hair and weak chin. AL these traits
appealed to bis large nature as the ten
der beauty Of & little child. Nothing
that he could DO for her was too hard
Or irksome.
Ezra had received next to no edu-
cation, az Lis family had moved 10
California before there We're schools
and he had been obliged to work from
almost his babvhood. His father had
died, leaving him the ranch near the
summit Of the beautiful undulating
hill just beyond Piedmont. Here be
had brought his young bride. .
Every comfort that he could obtain
for Edna "a purchased, and he was
very happy in his protecting love and
~abounding tenderness. He loved her
50 entirely that he did not know or
feel that her love for him was but a
weak and attenuated sentiment of half
contemptuous liberation.
For Edna Robins had literary aspi-
r~ations. She subscribed for the story
papers, read Mrs. Braddon, Ouida and
The duchess. She longed to evolve
books like those written by her IA
vorite authors and to people them
with such unreal characters as lived
in those books, She would sit fol-
hours in her darkened room trying tc
create a plot for a book where all the
suffering heroines should live in stump.

One Virtue of Art.

The greater number CT us are con-
demned by circumstance of income and
the routine Of duty to a life restrained
by walls, streets and the more or less
flexible bounds of the community. The
greater world without is defined by
such impressions as the books and
the newspapers and the chance travel
ers make upon our tmaginations. When
the opportunity Of vacation or enforced
travel takes u into country and cities
thus described, we learn how awry
and colorless these initial impressions
have been.
The life hat goes on within u own
walk must ever be narrow in this one
sense-that the mind can never recre-
ate all of any scene brought to US by
others. The painter, as skillfully as
the musician, can catch movement,
light and poetry and can present them,
SO far as they may be reproduced, to
pertness at this is often weird, IN
canny. At least a half dozen pictures
can make n feel as If present in the
scene, a thing impossible to the photo
graph or to any other of the graphic
arts. This, we believe, is a valuable
quality Of art. 1t car bring a relief
from the dulling rule Of duty. 1t can
impart n touch Of the buoyancy Of
travel. 1t can, to employ n hackneyed
but fitting phrase, take one out Of one.

Rheumatism.

More than nine out OF every ten eases
OF rheumatism are simply rheumatism
of the muscles. due to cold or damp, or
chronic rheumatism. In such cases no
internal treatment is required. The free
application OF Chamberlain's Liniment
S all that is needed, and it is certain to
give quick relief. Give it a trial and see
for yourself how quickly it relieves the
pain and soreness. The medicines usual
given internally for rheumatism are
poisonous or very very strong medicines.
