each contradicting the other. And
Dakota Dan" brought witnesses to
show that the letters were forgeries,
and that the addresses had been writ

Office cancellation marks had been
stamped thereon.
To these letters were added an ap-
plication form for membership in the
Woodmen of the World This con-
tanned the family history of Rousseau
and said that he had three brothers
and two sisters living and that an
other brother had been killed in
railroad accident. All of which was
apparently true. Dakota Dams" ex-
perts asserted that the answer had not
ben written by him, but had been
filled in by others at a later period,
his handwriting having been initiated.
Thereupon the Russell lawyers showed
that the paper had remained in the
archives of the Woodmen OF the
World until the court ordered its pro-
ddction.
The trial dragged on for several
months and as 1t was nearing the end

Henry Johnson, but in Melrose, the

ie"s carly life in Melrose, but Dakota
Dan" declared that his rival had been
brought on to cheat him out OF his
rights. Judge Lawton, before whom
the tedious case was tried, finally de-
cided in favor of Fresno Dan" and
that night the judge was burned in
emgy by an angry crowd of Dakota
Dams" supporters. If the case is car
ried to a higher court little may be

already cost huge sum.

David j. Ranken, Jr, one of the wealthiest

much-adyertised saying of Andrew Carnegie, that
"he who dies rich dies disgraced," and has turned
over his entire fortune estimated at little more
than $4,000 900, to the David j. Ranken, Jr. School
of Mechanical Trades, which he founded, reserv-
ing only $4,000 a year for his own modest uses.
The school was established year ago with
an endowment OF 100000. its purpose being to
give boys over fifteen years old trade education
for n nominal sum. The school has prospered
