Browne abruptly reSt.1 their case ir
the crim:na: court at Chicago at Noon

The sudden move OF the defense in
the alleged legislative bribery trial
was wholly unexpected. More than
fifty witnesses for the defense were
thus excluded from the records Of
the case. Several Of these in addi-

were considered Of Importance TO the
defense. Among them was Lieuten-
ant Governor John G. Oglesby.

upon whether the jury is willing 20
accept the testimony OF Representa-
tive Charles A. White. who made the
first confession and delivered the
principal testimony in the alleged
bribery scandal.

led the defense OF Browne. has insist
i t-,m ,h,. brsianius that ne is 40

has made out a legal case for his
client to stand on in higher court.
In this connection Mr. Forest said

I'VE have submitted all the test.-

We wanted chiefly character witness

stein, yesterday afternoon, after he
found that workmen bad already be-
gun building the curbing in front of
his place of business. Mr.. Parish con
tends that if the curbing Is built high
er than the top of his walk, water will
accumulate there after a rain. Mr..
Craig says the city engineer is estab-
fishing grade on Norfolk avenue and
that the curbing must be constructed
according to the engineers grade to
enable all the water to run from the
street.
Mr.. Parish says that he has built
two walks in front of his place at the
directions of former city engineers,
and should the curbing go in as di-
rected by the present engineer there
will be no more room for another walk
and his building will have to be raised.
Mr.. Craig says he will not stop the
work of the paving on account of this
trouble He will not, however, do any
work in front of the Parish property.
The case will come up before Judge
WelcN October u.
w. p. Dixon, who has charge of the
grader which is plowing away many
yards of dirt from Norfolk avenue to
get the street to the grade level, has
finished the two blocks from First to
Second streets in three days, and is
now hard at work on Norfolk avenue
from Third to Fifth streets. Some of
the mechanical parts of the elevator of
the grader broke this morning and
caused a delay of about five hours.
Those in charge of the grader have
received orders to lift up" when they
come to the injunction" district, which
the Parish property has become known
by the contractors employees, on ac-
count of the restraining order served
on them Friday evening. The "lift
up" means that no dirt is taken from
the Parish front and no work of paw
ing is done there until the case is set
tied.
The work of building the curbing is
going on very fast, the workmen hav-
ing already completed the south side
of Norfolk avenue up to Fourth street
and are commencing on the north
side.
The gravel proposition will also be
solved in few days, when a dredge
will arrive in the city and be used to
take out the gravel, of which there is
said to be plenty in the Klug- g-Hecken-
dorf pit. Although gravel is being
hauled to the city and deposited near
the other gravel on North Fifth street,
Mr., Craig says it is coming too slow,
and with the aid of the dredge it can
be easily taken out of the water at the
pit.

Catfish in Northfork.

Two large consignments of catfish
were deposited in the Northfork river
near the Country club grounds yester-
day morning by j. S. Mathewson, who
received the fish from the deputy fish
commissioner, who passed through the
city with a car of fish which are being
put in the various watering places in
this part of the state. The fish car
went west. Mr.. Mathewson believes
there is no danger of the fish swim
ming down stream and over the dam,
owing to the fact that the fish as a
general rule swim up stream. He be-
lieves that few more consignments
of the fish should be deposited in the
river, which would assure good fish
ing. The majority of the catfish put
in were quite large.

old Indian Mounds Here.

There are two old Indian mounds
near Norfolk which are to be investi-
gated by the Field museum of Chi
cago. Already nine skeletons of dead
Indians have been taken out of one
of these mounds and the scientists
who expect to dig into them next
spring, anticipate finding quantity of
relics of historical value, indicating
how the Indians made burials in the
early day, etc.
James II. Pile, until recently presi-
dent of the Wayne normal college,
discovered the mounds, and but three
persons know of their location. DR..
Owens, of the Field museum Of Chi
cago, is coming to Norfolk next spring
with Mr.. Pile to make the investiga-
tion.
Mr.. Pile has recently written to a
friend here regarding the mounds. OF
the nine skeletons which he dug up
here two years ago, seven are now at
the Wayne normal college.
The Field museum anticipates Its
findings in the two mounds at Nor
folk with unusual interest.

Interest in Ely FIiqht.

More than ordinary interest will be
felt among Norfolk people in the pro-
posed Chicago-New York airship flight
which will be attempted Sunday by
Eugene Ely, nephew of Mrs. E. E. Gill
lette of this city.
Eugene B. Ely, although the young
est of the Curtiss aviators, is one of
the most daring and successful. His
work in his Curtiss biplane through
out the larger cities of the United
States has been the talk of the avia-
tion world, so daring are his feats.
At the recent Curtiss aviation meet
held at Sheepshead Bay, New York
driven by prominent aviators headed
by none other than Curtiss himself,
Ely won the plaudits of the press
and public alike by establishing the
height and endurance record for the
entire meet, which lasted two weeks.
Ely enjoys two distinctions pos
sessed by no other aviator in Amer
lea, or probably in the world.
First, he learned to fly successfully
without teacher or without having
seen any more than one flight.
The second is that he was the first
to demonstrate a self propelled heav-
ier than air flying machine to the
kite flying Japanese people.
Being an expert mechanic and auto
racing car driver, he possessed all of
the natural prerequisites of the avia-
tor, and, seeing the great future of
the flying game, he determined to
first get possession of a machine and
then learn to fly. Building gliders
after his own ideas, he first ascended
into the air by being drawn up on
his kite-like device.
After a good preliminary training
of this character he determined to
get an aeroplane. He soon learned
that a wealthy German automobile
dealer of Seattle, Wash, had pur
chased a Curtiss machine for sport
ing purpose. Ely made him a propo
sition to fly it for him, OF which the
owner agreed.

RAILROAD HELD AT BAY.
Woman's Claim Forms Gap Which the
Northwes stern Can't Close.


Colome, S. D., Oct. S.-By avoiding
personal service of notice for con
demnation proceedings a young wo-
man homesteader, Miss Eleanor Sallee,
is causing material delay in the ex-
tension of the Northwestern line to
this point and may cause Colome to
continue as an inland town until next
spring.
Practically all of the grading of the
Northwestern extension is completed
from Dallas to Colome and 1t is claim
ed construction trains would now be
running in here but for the delay in
getting a right-of.way across Miss Sal
lees claim. In forcing the railroad
company to resort to publication SER
vice it is possible that freezing wealth
er may interfere with this piece of
work and cause it to be delayed until
next spring.
Through a contest Miss Sallee got
the claim filed on by Otto Schneider
of Mitchell, S. D., who had No, in
the Trip county drawing, The rail.
road company had made settlement
with Schneider, but Miss Sallee has
declined to be governed by that settle
ment and was upheld by the court in
this decision.
