James West died at $40 ID North
Third Street, April IS, 1909.
May he rest In peace"
On, father, thy gentle voice is husheI
Thy warm true heart is still,
And on thy pale aud peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We've kissed thy marbled brow.
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no father now.
Ihere was an angel band in heaven
That was not quite complete,
So God took our darling father
To fill the vacant seat.
Darling father, you have left US
You have left US for ever more.
But we hope TO meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.

BASIS FOR DECLINATIoN.

In declining to argue the case Mr..
Marshall gave two specific reasons as
follows:
First Because the procedure
adopted by the recorder (Capt. How
land). and acquiesced in by this
court, leaves IL undetermined In my
mind whether this court is a court
of inquiry or a court martial: or. in
other words, whether the recorder is
an impartial investigating officer or
a prosecuting officer.
Second. Because the instructions
Of the Secretary of War TO this court
conflict So fundamentally and totally
with my legal training as to make il
impossible for me 10 build an argu-
ment which would attempt 20 prove
a negative"
For these reasons" said Mr..
Marshall. Il can neither argue nor
can l appeal to your merciful con-
sideration. For, in all honor. this
honorable court is bound by the linn
stations imposed by the authority
from which its instructions proceed.
WHAT RECORD OF COURT SHOWS
"The record OF this court will
show that / offered TO produce tes-
timony OF an affirmative and positive
character, giving the names OF the
participators (pe-s0ns not in the mil
itary service Of the governmenD I'm
and details OF an alleged conspiracy
to commit this crime.
The record of this court Will also
show that no effort has been spared
TO produce before this court evidence
no matter how flimsy or circumstan-
tial, which might I'm the slightest de-
gree tend TO demonstrate the guilt of
the men who formerly defended the
flag and the honor OF this. our com
mon country"
The particular instructions given
by Secretary Dickinson TO the court
at the outset of the investigation.
to which Mr.. Marshall took especial
exception. are as follows:
such conclusions as may be
reached by the court in respect to
the eligibility for re-enlistment Of
the former enlisted men of the 25th
Infantry, at Brownsville, VINO we're
separated from the military service
in the operation of discharges with
out honor, should be affirmative and
positive in character and based upon
such preponderance of testimony as
will support its specific finding"
NO INFANTRYMAN INDICATED.
The court listened to the lawyers
remarks without comment, and ar
ranged to sit again next Monday to
hear the closing address of Capt
Howland, which will include a sum-
mary of the evidence submitted to
the court together with his conclu-
sions thereon.
It is understood that he will claim
that the evidence showed conclu-
sively that the shooting up" of
Brownsville was done by the soldiers
OF the 25th Infantry, and that not
a single one of the number examined
had proved affirmatively that he had
not participated in the raid or that
he had not some knowledge OF il.

Why the answer is, that those who

are those who love the name OF Ne

of every race should find the highest

that every colored man having

Der who is his mother, wife, or sister.
The name Negro is an insult TO the

If education is good for anything, IL

MEANS MURDER CHARGE.

Vandyke, who is confined in the
jail. stoutly denies his guilt and de-
clares that he will be able to prove
his innocence when the preliminary
hearing is taken up. He retained Fay
s. Collier as his attorney.
In the event that the investigation
of the circumstances IN connection
with the death should show that the
child died from the effects Of the
treatment she received. vandyke will
also likely have to answer the ad-
ditional charge Of murder. In either
charge against him the severest
penalty is death.
vandyke's wife is said to be des-
perately I'll. She and her children
are living in LaSaiie avenue.

two" VAGS" NOT GUILTY
Men Arrested for Going Out to Buy
Cigars at Late Hour-Diseharged
by the Court.

Among the delinquents who appeared
before Judge Miller in police court
this morning were two men, j. Mack
and Bert Divine, arrested for being
drunk and Migrants, who pleaded not
guilty. Upon careful investigation the
court concluded to discharge both men,
as they seemed to have been arrested
without cause.
j. Mack, who lives over the Bixby
restaurant, is said to be a conscien-
tious laborer of good character and
habits. He was spending the evening
with his friend, Bert Divine, who lives
at the Seattle hotel, and about mid
night the two went out for drink and
some cigars When they returned they
found the door, which is a seIf-locker,
had blown shut and they were trying
TO rouse people upstairs so as to be
let in. AS they we're beating on the
door and calling someone upstairs,
patrolman happened along and took
both men to the police station, where
they spent the night
Neither were drunk nor Migrants
and emphatically denied the charge.
Both are industrious workmen and
never without employment. The case
was dismissed without a continued
hearing.

w. L. Van Horn has returned from
an extensive trip through the north

vacation. While away he visited
Seattle, Tacoma and other points of
interest, spending some tine at Au-
burn, Ore, where he has relatives liv-
ing.
In speaking of his vacation Mr.. Van
Horn said that while he enjoyed every
minute of the time, he was glad to
get back to Fargo and that he could
not be hired to live in the far west
country. hunting trip in the Seattle
mountains was one of the featureNssof
the visit west during which he killed
large eagle, which, when mounted
will make a splendid trophy
Mr.. Van Horn spent much of his
time today at the republican head

by his host of friends who expressed
themselves as much pleased that he
is again back in Fargo and in the

PROVED UNGRATEFUL
Police Court Defendant Objected to
Size of Fine For Services of
Police.

One of a dozen men charged with
drunkenness before Justice Wade in
the police court this morning, was a
young chap, Mike Smell He was found
on the streets, incapable and carry
ing his money, which was in $40 and
IS bills, in his hands in most care
less Fashionable wealth would have
LASTED quick If the officers had not
appeared on the scene. When told by
the court that the fine and costs would
be $3.50, Smell sharply calculated, ''by
mister, that's too much to pay for
a thing like this, by Jimmy it is"
The defendant was brought to a
sudden stop by the court, who told
him that such remarks would not be
tolerated i'm his court and that If he
did not look out he would double the
fine and also fine him for the use OF
improper language. Smell gathered up
his remaining $40 and left the room in
a huff.
AS he went out Chief Malvey re-
marked some men don't know when
they are well off, and don't appreciate
decent treatment; that IL the man had
been left to himself he would not have
had penny to bless himself with this
morning. Another defendant had $S5
on his person when searched and he
paid $3.50 for the protection of his
wealth quite willingly.

ESTIMATES The
N. DAKOTA CROP
{. VAN HouTEN, CROP EXPERT,
SAYS FLIckERTAIL STATE WILL
YIELD FROM 100000 TO 4s,ooO,-
600 BUSHELS OF WHEAT THIS
YEAR.

Referring to the season and crops,
e. Van Houten, wheat expert, said to-
day:
The story Of crops for this year
is now history. For Minnesota / have
not the facts by me for an estimate
for the state, but for North Dakota
you can say that a conservative esti-
mate of the total wheat yield for that
state will be from 100000 to Az
100000 bushels and the general aver
age for the state per acre, FIVE TO six
bushels. One thing has been plainly
demonstrated this year, and 1t Is that
good farming pays. 1t is to be hoped
that good many farmers have learned
a well taught lesson-that slipshod
methods do not maintain or swell a
bank account. A great many fields in
and out of the Red River valley have
had greatly reduced yields for the
simple reason that lands were not well
narrowed, which means so much in
the matter of conservation Of moisture.
Well farmed fields in some sections
have defied the dry season in a most
remarkable way"

Hereafter only black or green type
writer ribbons or ink may be used on
government documents in the interior
department. Such has been the order
issued by the interior department to
the local Office of the United States
landoffice and to the United States
commissioners and clerks of the court.
The reason for this Is that the gov

be clearly photographed.
In the landoff1ce this new rule APP
plies particularly to proof papers and
applications for homestead entries, the
two most important documents in the
Office which especially need to be pre-
served by means of photography. The
local office in turn has mailed a circu

in its jurisdiction and any who may
be authorized to make out proof pa

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett Frazier Co: The wheat
market acts as though liquidation
were about over and we are inclined
to think that if prices steady European
will be in market again as a buyer, as
limits are not far out of line. We
would advise caution in selling corn
short as weather conditions will play
a very important part for the next
three or four days.
Logan & Bryan: After two or three
days of bear tactics the trade found
the wheat market decidedly stubborn
and it will not be surprising If the
bullish demonstration noted last hour
yesterday continues.
Finley Darrell Co: While we can
see nothing on the surface to warrant
any prominent recovery in wheat
values, we realize that any change in
the situation will naturally favor hold
ers. We would advise caution in SELL
ing wheat and especially on the breaks
as with trade in it's present mood mar
ket will prove decidedly more sensa-
tive to bullish rumors in the posi-
bilities than to bearish statistics.
