At one trial when the possession of
farm was in question the defendant
offered deed Of the premises, to
which the plaintiffs lawyer, Daniel
Chapman, objected because it had no
seal.
But your client sold the land, was
paid for it and signed the deed, did he
not?' asked the judge.
"That makes no difference" said
Chapman. ''The deed has no seal and
cannot be admitted in evidence"

In planning road Improvements ii
should not be forgotten that when n
road is once improved with macadam
or gravel the travel instantly double,
or trebles, and the road surface must
be sufficiently strong and durable To
provide not only for the present traf-
fic on the road, but for the traffic which
the improved highway will bring to
that community.

A Phsasant,s Blind EIiaht.

Speaking of the habits of pheasants,
Bailey's Magazine says:
"a very curious incident was record
sed In October, 1896. A hen pheasant
was flushed in a field of turnips, and
as she got up flew into a piece OF rot
ten, wet leaf, which chung around her
head, completely enveloping 1t and
blindfolding her. She kept ahead to
wind, so that the wet leaf still re-
NAMED plastered over her eyes, and
in this plight fluttered higher till she
became exhausted and gradually sank
to earth again.
"The frequency with which pleas
ants fly through windows, sometimes
with fatal results, is thought to be due
to the bird in its haste being deceived
by the reflection In the glass Of the
landscape behind it,"

Fdui was laughing when he said 1t.
Mr.. McKusick began questioning
Anderson as to what he had told
Caldwell regarding the reward for
the recovery of the bodies having
been raised to $500 and defense
objected, alleging that the state was
trying to impeach its own witness.
Caldwell, which defendant would do
at a proper time. Judge Stanton sus-
tanned objection. -
Thomas Hayden testified that
Fourier had said that old man
Dahl probably took the girl to the
old country. Paul was also alleged
to have said that he thought Wesley
knew better than to be caught with
Dahl's watch and the girls ring on
him.
Charles Yonkers, who was in the
Beltrami county Jail with Fourier,
stated Fourier told him before
going to Brainerd for the former
trial that he did not kill the Dahls
but saw the crime committed. Paul
was going to his cabin past Cald.

body of old man Dahl in a wheel
barrow. Miss Dahl was standing
near when.she started to run towards
him and was shot by either Caldwell
or Owen French; that he had got
away and went to- his cabin. He
had said that he would never forget
how the girl waved her hand at him.
Yonkers admitted he did not believe
the story anyway. Paul had said he
had been allowed to plead guilty to
a lighter crime than he was jailed
for, and also that Attorney McKusick
had said he would rather lose $1,000
tn an to lose the Fourier case.
Mr.. Scrutchin announced that he
would rush his testimony and he
believed case would be completed,

Who said the day of miracles had
passed? The mill men of the state in
convention assembled have solemnly de-
clared that they are in favor of an en-
ployers' indemnity act being placed up
on the statute books of the state. With
the remembrance of the activity of the
saw dust ring during former legislative
sessions still fresh in our minds, it will
not be strange if we keep our fingers
crossed until we hear something more
definite about the measures they advo-
cate. In all seriousness, however, we.
believe that the mill men would be very
wise if they would agree on an indem-
ity measure that was fair and equitable.
The present method Of suing for dam
ages is harassing on employers and very
unsatisfactory to workinomen. 1t is
very seldom that an injured employee
ever realizes much from a personal dam
age suit. Court costs, appeals, attor-
neys' fees generally eat up most of the
damages awarded. 1t is certain that an
indemnity act that was rigid in its ap-
pHcation would tend to make employers
careful to safeguard machinery. It
would lessen the work of the courts of
the state to great extent which in
itself would mean a reduction in taxa
ton. We do not care to wax over
enthusiastic on the subject until the
character of the proposed indemnity
measure is more fully known, but the
proposition 1eems worthy of serious,
consideration.
