son stepped in the road and the wit
ness could see him between the heads
of the horses. Johnson told Igaard to
unload the coal and Igaard said he
would if Johnson would put the gun
down. Igaard was setting on the wag-
On seat, holding the lines, and his
feet were on the dashboard of the
wagon. The witness next heard a
shot and the charge from the gun
passed through one OF 1gaard's knees
and into his stomach. The witness
then told of the subsequent happen.
ings. Johnson had taken his gun and
gone back toward the house, and a
neighbor came along the road after
Larson had stopped the team and put
Igaard on the ground. Larson went
for help and Igaard was taken to his
home.
On cross examination, Larson said
he had known Johnson for several
years in Minnesota and for several
years in this state. They both had
come from Akeley,, MIMI, together.
The defense sought to draw out
from him what Johnson's reputation
was as being peaceful man, but this
was ruled out as being improper ex.
animation. The defense also brought
out that Larson had tried to get 1g-
aard to take another road after they
left the coal pile, SO they would not
meet Johnson, but 1gaard had refused
to do SO, and said Johnson was only
bluffing and he did not care for him.
1t was also brought out that Larson
had conversation with Mrs. Johnson
some months after the shooting. and
he was asked If he had ever told her
that he was afraid at the time Of the
encounter at the coal pile that Igaard
would kill johnson. The witness
stated that he did not exactly renem-
Der, but believed that he said he was
afraid "Igaard could kill johnson" at
that time.
DR.. Rucker of Mott, testified to the
nature of Igaard's wounds and the
fact of his DEATH, It appears that
Igaard made a statement just before
his death and that the statement was
reduced to writing and signed by sew
eral witnesses DR.. Rucker testified
that it had been delivered by him to
States Attorney Stone, who testified
that Re had had it in a suit case that
was stolen from him at Dickinson,
and that lie had never recovered it.
The state then sought to get the
nature of he: statement before the.
jury from the testimony of DR.. Ruck-
er, but this was objected to-, and at
the noon adjournment the question Of
its admission had not been passed up
on, ard the court directed that the
authorities be presented to the court
at the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion.

was done was presented and witnesses

crime which he is alleged to have
made just before ne died. s.. 4
The states attorney from 'Hettinger
county had the written statement in
his grip and some one appropriated
the bag and it's contents at Dickinson
and it was the desire of the state to
introduce secondary testimony as to
the contents Of the statement. The
court finally ruled that the testimony
was permissible and the witness was
allowed to go on with his testimony.
The statement corroborated the tes-
timony Of the prosecuting witnesses
in two points, and the rest was in the
way of q general statement and
did not have any particular bearing
on the case.
The state introduced all its witness.
es Wednesday, and two for the de-
tense were called, the wife and child
of the accused. The testimony of
Mrs. johnson was directly opposite to
that given by the prosecution wit
ness, Larson, and it will be up to the
jury to decide which party is telling
the truth. It is expected that the de-
PENDANT himself will be put on the
stand the first thing Thursday morn
ing, and it will not be long after that
time that the case will go to the jury.

= The story of the killing of Mons
'Igaard by Ingebret Johnson, SO far as
the prosecution was concerned, was
completed at the. morning session of
the district court On Wednesday. The
state presented only one witness as
establishing the facts of the homicide,
and that was Louis Larson, the man
who went with Igaard to the coal pile
near Johnson's' land ito get a load OF
coal on the evening Igaard was killed.
Larson told of the coming OF Johnson
OF the coal pile, and his demand that
Igaard 60 away and leave the coal
alone, and of the incidents at the first
encounter between the two men that
led Igaard to get down off the wagon
and attack johnson. He said Igaard
threw him down, and choked him pref
ty severely, and that he finally cal led
to Igaard to come away and leave
Johnson alone. Johnson then left the
place and started for his house and
within a short time he and 1gaard
drove away from the coal pile and
went north on the road along the Sec
ton line. The witness said he saw
Mes. johnson in the field as they drove
along, and saw her waving her arms
but did not hear what she said. He
next saw Johnson coming toward the
road and walking toward them as
they approached with the team. John

for the main bout.
In the words Of the circus poster,
there was nothing that could offend
the most fastidious." It was a case
of stall and run away for the entire
six rounds and neither Of the men
had steam enough behind their blows
to run a peanut rooster. There was
no blood drawn, no knock-downs scor-
ed and very few blows struck. In
the matter OF points the Bismarck
man clearly had the better of it.
In the preliminary bout two soldiers
from the fort mixed things for four
rounds, and those who saw both OF
the scraps stated that the first one
was by far the more classy.
