dreth of Fargo, acted as Judge adyo
cate
Y Gen. Poole was represented by At
torney J. o. Frame of Fargo; Lieut..
Frank M. Baker, Company K, Dickin-
son, and Captain Simons. Sixth U. S.
Infantry. Two crderlies, Corporals
Kenyon and McHugh, of Company A,
were on duty also. 49,.
Attorney Frame asked that a con-
.tinuance; be had for day, but this
was denied after considerable argu.
ment between him and the Judge ad-
vocate. a> He then made motion to
adjourn so that witnesses could be
secured, but this was also denied.
The competency of Major Frame
was then challenged by the defense
on the ground of bias and at the ma
ior's request he was excused from
sitting on the court. Lieut.. Porter
Eddy was then challenged on the
same ground and also in support OF
this allegation an affidavit setting
forth alleged facts of bias was filed by
Gen. Poole and a motion made for a
continuance so that the parties named
in the affidavit might be got here to
testify in. person as to the facts al
legged therein.
This was contested most vigorously
by the judge advocate, who charged
that the motion was not made In good
faith, but for the purpose Of delaying
the trial until after the supreme court
had passed upon the constitutionality
Of the tenure Of office act, which case
will come before the high court Wed
nesday.s After a great deal of argu
ment on the subject the court decided
TO grant the continuance. $$ WV 4
:. The judge advocate then offered to
admit the truth of the facts set forth
In the Poole affidavit, saving the right
, to object as to its relevancy later. He
also called the attention of the court
to the statutes in regard to summon
ing witnesses in such cases and held
that there was neither law nor money
with which to command their pres:
ence and that none of them could be
forced to attend the trial, and many
other points of like nature were gone
over pro and con by both sides.
The defense aroused the ire of the
Judge advocate when it said it would
accept such; stipulation If the judge
advocate would also admit that Lieut..
Eddy was biased. Gen. Hildreth took
fall out of the attorney for defense
because, as he said, to admit that he
could look into the brain of the officer
and discern his mind would be asking
rather more than he was competent
to perform and that to admit such a
frame of mind on the part of the Off
Ger would be to admit his unfitness to

sit on the court. The passage at arms
during this time was warm and was
continued in. the hall when the court
cleared the room to discuss the mo
ton to reconsider it's determination
to permit a continuance.
Just prior to clearing the room Gen.
Hildreth announced the appointment
OF Lieut.. R. A. Thomson of Fargo, as
a member of the court in the place OF
Major Frame. Objection was made to
his sitting at that time when an issue
was up in which he had not partici-
pated on the court, and the objection
was sustained, he taking his seat aft
er the court had decided not to grant
the continuance.
Gen. Poole was then placed upon
the stand to testify to the reasons
why he believed Lieut.. Eddy biased.
In brief his direct testimony showed
that the trouble between Gen. Poole
and the Eddys began at a political
convention at Jamestown in 1904
when Poole made a crack at the Eddy
family which resulted in mixup be-
tween him and Frank Eddy, a brother
of the lieutenant, and in his testimony
a number of matters about the politi-
cal war in that county were brought
out. The court held such testimony
as irrelevant, but Gen. Poole was al
lowed to show what troubles occurred
between him and Lieut.. Eddy subse-
quently, all Of which were at the poll
ing places at various times, the gen.
tlemen being on opposite sides of the
factional fight There was great
deal of hearsay in all this testimony,
much of which was ruled out, which
had little bearing on the issue Of bias,
except such bias as Gen. Poole
seemed to think ought to result from
such encounters.
In the Icross-examination Gen. Poole
was made to admit that politics was
at the bottom of all the trouble, as
he stoutly denied that other matters
of personal matter came into the
case. He also admitted that he had
established a boycott on Lieut.. Ed
dy's store, but added that one of the
reasons why he was against Eddy was
that the latter had ignored orders
sent him in the past two years, In
consequence Of which he, Gen Poole,
ha started a movement, to have him
removed from the guard, but had re-
Trained from bringing open charges
because he feared such q move would
be attributed to political revenge.
Gen. Poole was still on the stand
when adjournment was taken at Z
p. m. 49,,
Court will reconvene at 10 o'clock
this morning, when a number OF 9th
er witnesses will be called by Gen.
Poole to emphasize his charge of bias
against Lieut.. Eddy. The trial is open
to outsiders and quite number at
tended Yesterday. At the present rate
Of progress it will be a day or two
before the court gets down to the
actual trial of the case.
1t has been reported on the side
that Gen. Poole proposes to challenge
a majority of the court for bias, and
it may be that such rumors having
reached the governors ears, accounts
for the array OF extra officers Of the
guard who are on hand, any one OF
whom may be appointed to replace
the men successfully challenged, as
was the case with Lieut.. Thomson.
It is understood that Attorney Law

A TURKEY DRUNK"
An Old Time Thanksgiving Custom
Which Is Happily Now Obsolete.


II remember when | was a boy that
one OF the great features of Thanks
giving time was what we called the
turkey drunk" says a native of west
ern New York Folks didn't SVEN to
kill their Thanksgiving turkey in those
days until the forenoon of the day it
was to be eaten, and it was the GUS
tom to get the bird most gloriously
drunk and kill it while it was in that
condition. They used to say that it
made the turkeys last moments on
earth happy and made its approach
ing death a matter of unconcern to
the bird. More than that, it was be-
lieved that the brandy they filed the
turkey up with gave the meat a flavor
that no bird that died sober could ever
have / don't know whether that was
So but | do know that | can't get any
turkey nowadays that has the pecul-
iarly delicious flavor those brandy
soaked birds of my beloved boyhood
had. The turkey drunk was great
occasion. 1t was witnessed by the
whole family and all the invited
guests, if there We're any. Two hours
before killing the turkey the head of
the family would fill a teacup or a tin
cup or sometimes small gourd with
brandy. This he would take out to
the poultry yard where the turkey
which was to provide the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner would be cooped up by it
self in one corner and place it on the
ground in front of the turkey. Those
fowls appeared to be fond of brandy,
and the doomed bird would gobble up
the Intoxicating liquor with the relish
of confirmed old topper. Sometimes
a particularly large and fat turkey
would drink the entire contents of the
cup.
"As soon as the bird was through
drinking it would be let out of it's
coop, and in less than three minutes
it would be staggering about the yard
with as elegant jag on as any round
er ever enjoyed. If the victim was a
gobbler his efforts to maintain his dig
nifty under the influence of his load
were as funny as circus clowns.
Steadying himself by an effort. he
would throw his head up. thrust his
chest out, lower his wings till they
dragged on the ground and then try to
strut among his hens with the domi-
neering pomposity of his sober days.
His strut invariably END d in his fall
ing ANONYMOUSLY on his nose, and his
struggles to regain his equilibrium
were equal to the drunken gymnastics
of ToodleS.
1.-The exhibition the intoxicated COB
| bier made of himself created unmis-
taxable surprise if not disgust. in his
harem. and the hens would draw apart
in groups and watch the antics of their
lord in shocked silence. The turkey
never failed to get drunken and drunk
er and at last would totter and fall
and give up TO the influence of the
liquor. Then was the time to kill the
bird, and its head was cut off while
the turkey was in its stupor That
custom is fortunately obsolete now l
don't think it would be very inspir-
ing sight for one to witness nowadays.
but in the old times the stifest teeto-
taller didn't seem to see anything
wrong in making the Thanksgiving
turkey drunk. | suppose that would
come under the head of cruelty to ami
mails now. At any rate, it should"
