Old Men in Responsibility.

The American business system,
which gives mere boys responsible Pc.
sitions before they have acquired prac-
teal experience, is to an Englishman
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless
trading and wild speculation. In other
countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because
they can be depended upon. Messrs.

pleted 80 years service, 20 have been

Willing to Pay for Hammer.
When the British square at the bat
tie of Abu Klea, in the Nubian des-
ert, was penetrated by the dervishes,
one of them attempted to spear gun
ner who was in the act of ramming
home a charge. The Briton Drained
the Sudanese, but the rammer head
split on the mans hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sent for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from expert
ence that soldiers are charged for
government property which they
break, he led off with: please, sir.
I'm very sorry I broke the rammer.
but I never thought the fellows head
could be so hard. I'll pay for the
rammer so az to hear no more of
the case"

JUDGE and inability to get fair trial
in Beltrami county, where the defend
ant had once been convicted of the
charge of having killed N. o. Dahl.
Chester McKusick, of Bemidji, coun-
ty attorney of Beltrami county, is in
charge of the case against Fournier
for the state and he is being assisted
in getting the jury by Louis Hallum,
of Aitkin, county attorney of Aitkin
county. c. w. Scrutchin, Bemidji's
colored attorney, is defending Four
nier and Attorney Crowell, of Brain
erd, is assisting Scrutchin.
The first clash of the attorneys
occurred when the state began the
introduction of testimony relative to
the killing of N. o. Dahl, in connec-
ton with the present charge against
Fournier of killing Aagot Dahl.
Attorney McKusick questioned DR..
Marcum, former assistant coroner of
Beltrami county, relative to condi-
tion of the body of N. o. Dahl when
found, and offered in evidence twelve
pieces of the skull of N. o. Dahl to
show the nature of two bullet wounds
which caused the death of the old
man.
Attorney Scrutchin, for the defense,
objected to this testimony as being in
state was trying to guess at what time
the Dahls disappeared and declared
nothing had even been produced to &C
tually prove when the father and
daughter disappeared.
Attorney Scrutchin declared the
state was attempting to prove a crime
Independent of the Aagot Dahl MUIR
der.
Judge C. w. Stanton overruled the
objection, stating that while proof of
the killing of N. o. Dahl would not
prove the killing of the daughter, yet
the circumstances were so intimately
connected that the testimony was adj
Missile.
DR.. Marcum then told of the finding
of the body of N. o. Dahl under a
balsam tree. The doctor described the
fractures of the skull.

of skull and displayed no emotion
whatever at the gruesome exhibit.
Eugene Caldwell, chief witness for
the state, was called to the stand
shortly before the hour for noon ad-
journment. He testified as to the last
time he saw Miss Dahl alive, declaring
he found everything all right when he
passed the Dahl cabin, April 6, 1904.
He passed again the morning of April
8, but could find no trace of habita.
ton.
Caldwell is the man who found the
body of Dahl and his testimony at the
first trial was impeached, the defense
declaring that, contrary to his asser.
ton that he was not aware that the
reward had been raised from 5000 to
$1,000, information to that effect
reached him one hour before he dis.
covered the body. From the trend of
the case thus far it is quite evident
that the, defense is preparing to move
along the same line and impeach his
testimony on this point.
