DR.. HYDE SENT TO JAIL
Judge Latshaw Rev0kes Bond
Of Accused Man.

Kansas City, April 2S.-Dr. B. c..
Hyde's bond of 100000 was revoked
and he was placed in the county Jail
by the order of Judge Latshaw at the
close of the criminal court session.
This action means DR.. Hyde must re-
main in prison until he is declared
innocent by a jury or is permitted by
the court to furnish a new bond.
The action of the court was due to
the nature of the evidence presented
by the state against DR.. Hyde. With
out notifying any one of his intention
Judge Latshaw summoned County
Marshal Joel B. Mayes into the court
room after the jury had been removed
and said:
"In view of the testimony thus far
given in the trial the court is con-
strained to say that it amounts to a
presumption that, under the law, de-
prives the defendant of the right to
go on bond and he is hereby remand
ed to the custody of the marshal"
-Four people testified that in Septem-
Der and December of last year DR..
Hyde purchased at Hugo Brecklein's
drug store here twenty five-grain cap
sules of cyanide of potassium. When
warned against using the poison DR..
Hyde said he wanted to kill dogs
with it.

New York, May 3.-Edward Payson
Weston brought to a triumphant end
his ocean to ocean walk. Cheered by
thousands of enthusiastic New York
ers he assembled the steps of the city
hall, completing the transcontinental
journey of 3,483 miles in seventy-seven

The grizzled athlete was welcomed
to his home city by Mayor Gaynor,
who presented him with a purse of
$500 hurriedly raised by a handful of
his admirers in the last hours of his
spectacular walk. This and the ad-
miration and applause of the thou
sands who have followed his tramp
since the day of it's inception at Los
Angeles on Feb. 1 last is all the re-
ward that comes to the intrepid sep
~tagenarian after his two months and
more of trudging through heat and
cold across the continent.

Residents of the town of Montrose
r very elated over the prospects for
a railroad in that part of the country
this year. Surveyors are putting in
final grade stakes between Cotton
wood lake and Power lake and the
grades are to be ready for the laying
of steel by Aug. 1.
The new road is known as the Stan
ley branch of the Great Northern and
will be about ninety miles in length.
It. will traverse a territory. that has
heretofore been practically marooned
in spite of the fact that it is fine
farming land and we'll settled.
On the strength Of the proposed new
railroad several towns have sprung
up, including Montrose. The towns
already have nearly all the represent
tative business firms usually in agri-
cultural centers, but the advent Of
the railroad will bring in many more
people.
The Great Northern expects to have
the work on this new road completed
in advance of the coming crop in or
der that the grain may be hauled to
market,

JUST BEHIND THE SURVEYORS
Graders Will Rush Work on New
Railroad Line.

Two contractors, Miles Peterson
and w. c.. Marshall, are at once
to begin the grading of the new Drake
to Medford line of the 500. Mr.. Pc
terson has the contract for grading
the first twelve miles out of Drake,
and Mr.. Marshall has the contract
for the second twelve miles. The lat
ter has been working on Northern Pa
cific grades west of the Missouri
river, and wintered there. He has
sixty horses and two grading ma
chimes.
The new grading will bring the line
to the vicinity of Girard lake, in Pierce
county, where there will probably be
a new town.
AS showing the haste with which
this new line of the 500 will be built
it is said the profile of the road has
not yet been furnished to the graders,
but the surveyors will be busy at work
just ahead of the graders.
Somewhere in Pierce county, prob
ably further east than Girard lake,
there will be a new town, probably
about eighteen miles south of Rugby,
the county seat.
The new line will pass through a
fine farming country which heretofore
has had Inadequate railroad facilities.

Secretary Ba||inger Contradicts
Testimony Of AGcuser.
NOT GUILTY OF WRONGDO|NG
Defends His Action in Cunning
ham Coal Land Cases.

Washington, April 30.-Indignantly
denying that he had been guilty of
any w%rongdoing, Richard A. Ballinger,
secretary of the interior, made a bit
ter attack upon his critics while a
witness before the Ballinger-Pinchot
Investigating committee and charac-
terized many of the sworn statements
of his principal accuser, l.. r. CLAWS,
as "willful and deliberate lies"
Led on by his attorney, Mr.. Yer
trees, the cabinet officer answered
charges of those who would destroy
him. He referred with apparent pride
to Theodore Roosevelt's oft expressed
high estimate of him, particularly the
former presidents statement when he
was commissioner of the land office,
that he had secured a $4,000 man
for $4,000"
He defended his conduct in connec-
tion with the Cunningham coal cases
and stated he would take the same
action today if he had the same record
before him. After leaving the land
office Mr.. Ballinger said his only con-
nection with the Cunningham case
was in bringing East from Seattle an
affidavit of Clarence Cunningham and
presenting it to Secretary Garfield.
For this service he said he had re-
ceived 5000 OF $3.50, which he regard
ed as travelling expenses. He said that
when he became secretary of the in
terror he refused to pass upon the
claims in any way.
Attorney Vertrees still has to ex-
anime Mr.. Ballinger on the subject of
water power sites before turning him
owe to Mr.. Brandeis, counsel for
CLAWS, and Mr.. Pepper, attorney for
Pinchot, for cross-examination.
The secretary's testimony dealt al
most exclusively with the CLAWS
charges. At the next session it will
embrace his attitude toward conserva-
ton and the beginning of the contro-
versy with Forester Pinchot.

TESTIMONY is SENSATIONAL
Alleged Thompson Land Fraud Inves-
tigation Becomes Interesting.

Alleged Thompson Land Fraud Inves-
tigation Becomes Interesting.
The board Of school and university
lands at Bismarck considered an al
tered receipt, the most sensational
testimony in connection with the al
legged Thompson land fraud investiga-
ton.
This concerned the sale of a quarter
section of land to Harry Thompson,
o Of ex-senator Fountain l.. Thomp-
son, and the receipt was claimed to
have been issued Oct. 81, 1901, but
cancellation of the sale, alleging it
was fraudulent, ayers the date was
altered from January, 1902, and that,
while the receipt calls for $40 per
acre, the original price for which the
land was sold was $13.
All other records of the sale show
the price bid and received was only
$40.
David Mccain of Minneapolis, who
bought the now famous Section 16,
was sworn as a witness, and stated
there had been no fraud at the sale
and recounted in a dramatic manne
the sudden death Of his friend and
neighbor, Lempke, which caused the
p"ostponement of the sale.
He stated positively there had been
NO agreement as to the bidding on the
section. and that the sale had been
carried on strictly according to law.
After closing talks by the attorneys
for the interested parties, Governor
Burke moved the matter be put in the
hands of the attorney general for fur
Their Investigation, and, if he found
sufficient evidence in the matter, he
should proceed to have the sale can
celled.

Indiana Democrats.
TRIES TO WITHDRAW NAME
Former Vice Presidential Candi-
date Forced to Accept.

Indianapolis, April 29.-The Indiana
Democratic convention endorsed John
W. Kern, Democratic candidate for
vice president in 1908, as the can
lidate for the United States senate.
The opposition made a grim fight,
under the leadership of Thomas Tag
CART, former chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee and himself
a candidate for the nomination, but,
in defeat, it joined heartily with the
element headed by Governor Marshall
aspirant for the ~senatorship, in a
shouted reclamation of Kern as the
party's candidate.
When Governor Marshall, as TEN.
porary chairman. called the conven-
ton to order the floor and the galleries
of the hall were packed, and the rival
factions whose leaders had been in
conference all night, were prepared
for the decisive conflict.
The crisis of tumult sprang up
sharply when John E. Lamb arose to
speak for the plan and declared that
he was Externally opposed to Taggart-
ISM" Kisses and groans filled the
hall and drowned the cheers of his
own Terre Haute and Vigo county
delegation of sixty and his other sup
porters.
When the tumult subsidized he de-
clared unfinchingly that the conven-
ton should nominate him "or some
better man" Senator Shively called
for the report of the committee on
resolutions, which was read and
adopted as the platform.
Kern made his way to the platform
in an effort to withdraw his name, but
his protest vas in vai~, Taggart shout
ing that the Indiana Democracy want
ed Kern in the senate" and Kern re-
tired before the cheers. Then the
landslide for him started and he was
quickly nominated.
