built by nlusarats. The structure, In
Q slough, was NOT less than six feet

house, which he set adire. 1t worked
fine. In a few minutes a big bird

was attacked by horde OF rats from

burned out OF house and home and
sought vengeance.
The proprietor of the Fargo house
wouldn't say much about it. but it is
claimed that he ran out OF ammuni-

ably by the attitude of a leading local
elevator interest who bought approxi-
nately 100000 bushels OF May

This bulge was taken advantage OF
by minor longs. Of which there are a
great number, to protect their profits.

gregated a large volume. After this
particular demand had been satisfied,
the market took on a rather heavy
tone with the result that again over

KETHMAN CASE
MUST WAIT AGAIN
CONDITION or CALENDAR WILL
PREVENT TAKING THAT CASE
UP IN THE MoRNING-ARE PRE-
PAIRING FOR BIG CROWDS AT
THE MURDER TRIAL.

The Kethman murder trial will not
come UP tomorrow as had been expert
ed. When Judge Taylor denied the
motion for change of venue last week
he set the hearing for tomorrow
morning but he condition of the cal
endar will prevent it's coming to trial
at that time.
1t is expected, however, that the trial
of Kethman will begin at the opening
of court Thursday morning as the Jury
men have been instructed to report at
that time. Yesterday Judge TAYLOR
made an order for two special venires,
one of twenty five to report at 8 O'clock
Friday morning, and the second of fifty
men at o'clock Friday afternoon. The
opinion prevails among attorneys and
habitues of the courthouse that a Jury
will be secured in a comparatively short
time and that the taking of evidence
will begin next Monday morning. Still
there are people who entertain the idea
that considerable time will be consum
ed in the filing of ne twelve Jury
chairs. The state has ten peremptory
challenges and the defense is allowed
twenty peremptory challenges, in adj

In expectation of the crowds likely
to attend the trial, especially the early
days of it, until the novelty has worn
away, Judge Taylor mas been looking
about with the evident object OF the
safety of all concerned. One matter
came to his attention, it was that the
large double doors at the main en-
trance Of the court house building did
not open outwards, in compliance with
the state law, and in that there was
an element Of considerable danger in
case of accident. The Judge called the
attention of the commissioners to the
violation of the law, so today car
penters were busy rehanging the big
doors and putting them in the best of
order. 1t is understood that no block
aiding Of the means Of exih will be al
lowed during the presence of big at

BIG YIELD OF CORN.
n. 3. Meis Harvested "a Bushels to the
Acre.

A. r. kits OF Fergus Falls was In
Breckenridge short time ago and saw
some samples OF corn from the Meis
farm there that he believed would
mean yield of seventy bushels per
acre. Mr.. Meis has not harvested his
corn and measured It. and ne f1nds that
1t averages not seventy, but eighty
four bushels per acre. Some portions
Of the field would show fully 100 bush
els of corn per acre.
= Il lived in Iowa for a number OF
years" says Mr.. kits" to The Fergus
Globe "and have heard reports OF
100 bushels yield there, but / never
saw any. The fact is we raised Just
as good corn right here as they raise
in Iowa. The United States govern
ment crop report for this year shows
that the average yield of corn In Min
nesota is 34.8 bushels per acre while
the average in Iowa is BIB. Iowa Is
considered one of the four great corn
states OF the Union and land is high
there on that account, but there is no
reason why Minnesota land should not
bring fully as much"

that the crowd was short Of wheat
