KETHMAN JURY COMPLETE;
TRIAL NOW UNDER WAY
Last Juror Secured at 1856 This Morning and Prosecution
Immediately Started to Outline Case Of State
Interest Is Keen

1ne first formality was the read
Ing Of the Indictment returned by the
grand jury which was done by Assist
ant Attorney General Smith. There
were no objections on the part Of the
defense and then Mn Smith proceed
cd with his opening address to the
jury He began By stating the pur-
pose OF the address, that it was to
give an outline or review OF the oc-
currence. He said the evidence would
so back to a meeting OF the defen-
dant and DR.. Egge In Hollie walters
saloon an hour or two before the COM
mission of the crime, their talking
rather roughly to each other in the "a
loon and what followed after closing
hours. Mr.. Smith then reviewed the
finding OF the body of the doctor, the
viewing of II by several people and
what disposition was made OF 1t. He
then led up to the suspicion which
was aroused and how ultimately the
arrest Of Frank Kethman was decided
upon and effected interlining his re-
marks with a detail of the circumstan-
ces which developed and surrounded
the case after the commission of the
crime up to the time Of his arrest.
At the close of the address the court
ordered an adjournment until D. m.
1t will first be the duty of the state to
prove the corpus deficit, or the foun-
dalton of the offense. SO Cor that rea-
son the first witnesses called would be
the two doctors who examined the
dead body Of the doctor and later
made the postmortem examination
DR.. Hagen, one of the first to see the
body, was first called, Immediately
after the noon recess and il was ex-
pected that his cross examination
would be extended.
It was intimated In the courtroom
today that there would be no adjourn
ment of the court on Thanksgiving
day. The jury would be precluded
from joining their family circles and
it would be inconvenient for other
members of the court to leave. SO
Judge Taylor decided that the trial
should proceed.
For the accommodation OF the jury
a suite Of rooms at the Columbia ho-
tel has been set aside for their use
and they will live and eat until the
the conclusion of the trial. The bailifr
in charge Of the jury during the day
time is Deputy Sheriff Enoch Hagelin.
The attendance of the public was
rather neager this morning. but II
will grow now that 1t is known that
the formalities have come to an end.
The witnesses for the state have been
instructed to be in readiness for call |
at any moment.

Grocer Makes Five Cents Out Of

St Louis, Nov. 23.-That he does

Ii they leave him the profits of the

Would-be robbers struck him on the
head with the butt of revolver.
The weapon was accidentally dis
charged and the robbers, frightened,
dashed out of the store down the
street. The marks of the bullet could
not be found and Blocker declares III
must have wounded one OF his visit
ors. The scent sack of tobacco IL
gone, but the dime brought by the
visitors now reposes In the cash

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Nov. 23.--December wheat
is UP 16Ac from the low point of last
August 1t is at the point where those
who have their cash wheat hedged or
who are short and do not care to cover
in the pit are bringing cash wheat here
TO deliver. Armour, Bartlett, Patten
and the ]. Rosenbaum Grain Co. have
been the buyers. The December May
spread yesterday was at one time
Shc. Low grades of wheat here were
hard to sell, but all wheat of which
contract grades can be made was ac-
lively taken, but there was very little
offered in the open market. The corn
market is generally regarded as a
weather proposition the bears are not
willing to give up the figLt-Inter-

FORM new CHURCH CLUB
Men Of Congregational Church Met
Last Night and Organized
Elect Officers.

About forty men of the congregation
Of the First Congregational church,
gathered last night, to consider the
formation Of a club to work along the
lines OF social service. The Rev. @.
A. Billig explained what in his opin-
ion was the duty of the lay forces of
the church and they had met to con-
slider the duty of the men, He was so
forceful and convincing In his conclu-
sions that instantly decision was
reached that there was something
for those present, and those not pres
ent to do. An organization was de-
ternined upon and it will be known as
the Mems League for Social Service.
A brief code Of bylaws was adopted
and the following officers were elected.
President r. w. Richards
Vice President T. |. Lewis
Secretary Treasurer w. r. Costain

BRYAN,s PLAN FATAL.
Party Leaders Say Prohibition Issue
viii Kill Him Politically.

/
viii Kill Him Politically.
Washington, Nov 28.-WilIiam j.
Bryan's plan to force prohibition to
the front as a democratic issue will
kill him with his own party. That is,
almost without exception, the opinion
of sucn democrats of national promi-
hence as now are in Washington. In
cidentally 1t is the opinion of shrewd
political observers in the republican
party.
The first difficulty to be met, by
Bryan in his attempt to foist this issue
on his party will be that it will furnish
fresh and confirmatory evidence Of the
charge SO often made by republican
spellbinders during the campaign
year ago that Bryan no longer is a
sincere crusader, fighting for what he
believes to be right, but merely a DO
litical cuack seeking to- win votes by
whatever nostrum he thinks can be
made palatable.
Aside from that fact everybody who
knows anything about the campaign
Of last year knows that Bryan's nomi-
nation was accepted by a large ma
jority Of southern democrats simply
because they believed it necessary to
kill him off before there could be any
successful rejuvenation of the party
and his third defeat would accomplish
that result.
Indications that have been cropping
up from time to time since Taft's cleo
ton that, despite his third failure to
land tine presidency, Bryan is not yet
willing to recognize the fact that he
isn't wanted in the White House, have
filled these southerners with renewed
disgust

Beats Taft at Coli.

Washington. Nov. Ex-senator iona
than P. Bourne of Oregon took the
measure of President Taft today in a
golf match on the Chevy Chase club
links defeating him IN fifteen holes,
BY one hole. Both played strong
game, although the exact score was not
given out. Mr.. Taft, especially dis
tinguished himself in his driving and
he might have Won tho match had he
not got into a difficult position be-
tween the seventh and eighth holes,
which cost him number OF extra
strokes. The game was called at the
fifteenth hole because of the growing
dusk.

PRosARLY euRIED in MUD.
Effort to Find Body of John 5ernquis'
Is FruitIess.

st. Paul, Nov. 23.-All attempts to
locate the body of .}cifn Bernquist, the
farm hand employed on the Buberi
farm, two miles west of White Bear
who is supposed to have been drown
ed in ditch, have failed. Mr.. Burbel
said this morning that he did not think
that any further effort would be made
to recover the body. which Is thought
70, be lying buried in mud in the big
ditch" on the Barnum farm.
The supposition is that Bernquist
while hunting about three weeks ago,
tried to cross the ditch and was sucked
down by the mud, which is almost as
treacherous as quicksand at that spot
Bernquist's dog came home without
him and his gun was found later by
the side of the ditch.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Wheat klinh a. start.

Chicago. Nov. 23.-Wheat was higher
early under quite an array OF bullish
news but has backed off since because
of the extreme dullness which has made
profit taking and other unusually efTec-
tive Northwest has taken a rather
weak turn and there has been a little
selling here from that quarter, Car
goes aggregating 100000 bushels No.
northern were sold last night and
this morning to come here This has
ade the selling pressure on December
rather effective because Of te fact that
the short interest has been largely
eliminated by the recent long con-
tinued advance.

Threatened opposition to some of the
issues failed TO materialize and the

bonds in the sum of s151, 900. The vote
was merely nominal one, owing to
the fact that there was comparatively
no opposition, about ESQ votes being
the total cast. This is close 20 a

Tie Drive Still Held Up.

River Foreman, George Arnold
informs the Sun that the waters
are still at too high a stage to
start driving the tributaries of the
North Platte river. A few small
tributaries of the Encampment
river and Douglas creek have been
driven for fear that they might
suddenly drop and leave the tim
Der stranded, Brush and Barrett
creeks as well as almost every
other tributary of the river are too
high to drive. The drive will
have to wait until they are sure
that the water has reached its
highest stage.
