CASE PROVES TO

Mandan, y. H., Dec. 21.-One OF
the most humorous as we'll as pecuilar

ander Jahner Of Odense, for assault
with a dangerous Weapon with intent
To KILL The prosecuting attorney
II. r. Bitzing, is assisted by Hanley
& Sullivan, and the defendant is rep
resented by II. w. Shaw.
The case has been before the court
for nearly a week and has occupied
the time of the attorneys as we'll as
tried the patience of all concnected
with it. Interpreters have to be used
on nearly all the witnesses.
Last year after the wedding of two
of the odcnse citizens, the post nup-
tial celebration was in full blast hen
the participants reached such Il stage
that only fighting would wind up the
celebration. One challenged the 9TH
err TO fight and when Wendelin Swartz.
who was the victim, responded to the
challenge. he was beaten over the
head with a neck yoke until uncon-
scious. For weeks he was in a very
~precarious condition and surgeons
have removed large pieces of the
fractured skull, leaving some portions
of the brain protected by only the
skin. The man apparently has recov-
cred all his faculties M is in fair
health today.
One witness in testifying stated that
Wendelin was dead when he looked
at him after the fracas, but he come
I olife again." Others were confused
in their testimony and it has heen
difficult to ascertain the exact facts
in the case.
All the testimony was in yesterday
and only the arguments by the attor-
neys was left for today.

Fargo, n. d., Dec. 21-The state fish

Captain Main is on his way home

in charge of the state fish exhibit. He
is loud in his praise for the show and
says it can't be made too strong.
North Dakota is we'll represented

GAEKWAR INSULTS EMPEROR.

Delhi. Dec. 21.-Delhi has been
much shocked since the durbar by the
gossip about the discourtesy shown by
the Gaekwar of Baroda to the king
emperor. The Indian potentate not
only appeared in casual dress, while
the other rulers We're in the most
sumptuous %splendor, but when his turn
came to do homage 10 the emperor he
gave a single perfunctory bow and
then turned his back to their majesties
with a significant smile.
This behavior would inevitably have
the worst possible influence in regard
to British supremacy in the popular
view If it were allowed to pass. Ac-
cordingly. the viceroy of India brought
pressure to bear on the gaekwar to
make amends. An apology from the
Indian prince is now published. He
ascribes his discourtesy to his nervo
confusion. and assures the viceroy OF
his loyalty to the king-emperor.
h openly expressed hostility of the
Gaekwar of Baroda to British rule in
India has been Il matter Of comment
for months. and it is now expected
that steps will be taken to curb him.

air, and he plans to place the device
in enlarged form on aeroplanes. If
1t Is successful 1t will mean that many
theories accepted as fundamental in
physics will have to be recast.
The inventor is patenting his de-
vice and refuses to give any details.
He says, however, that he Is able to
intensity the Hertzian waves. such as
are used in wireless telegraphy. to Q
point where the force they exert ia
sufficient to overcome the opposite
force OF pull Of gravity. He doea
o explain how he directs the Hert-
zian wave force so that 1t will act
against gravity, instead of acting
equally in all directions. as is the way
Of such forces.
The inventor uses a small dynamo
of course, would be carried on the
aeroplane and the zone Of intensified
energy would with the machine.
1t Is apparently a solution of the old
problem Of lifting oneself over a fence
by pulling at ones own bootstraps.
It is proposed to supply the small
"condensing dynamo" with power by
transmitting a current Of electricity
by wireless.
lit is expected that this will sur
round the aeroplane with a flat cir
cular sheet Of Hertzian waves a mile
in extent, which, in some unexplained
way. are expected to make the aero-
plane buoyant and hold 1t suspended
in the air. It'll is hoped, as the aero.
plane moves forward. the sheet of
Hertzian waves will move with it.
Farrow does not claim to have
worked out his devices In detail. He
believes it will be necessary to make
many more experiments before they
will be practical for all purposes. But
he is very optimistic about their util-
ity in aerial navigation.
The inventor is a consulting engi-
neer. He was in the same class at
West Point as Major George O.

Washington. Dec. '21.-Forces are
radical amendments' in the Sherwood
dollar a day" pension bill which has
passed the house. Senators of both
PARTIES today expressed disapproval of
the dollar a day idea. The senate pen

outlay would be if the Sherwood bill
were adopted. First estimates placed

to $4,000, 900 a year over the pres

The committee will report to the
senate a bill carrying much less ex-

GERMAN BANKS
EFFECT TRADE
Their Demands For. Over
Year Funds Was Signif-
cant Feature .

New York, Dec. 21.-The insistent
demand Of German banks for cover
year" funds was the significant fea-
ture of what otherwise was a dull day
in Wall street . Large amounts have
been loaned to Germany within the
last year, but the bidding was still
keener today. Seven per cen was
ey, me offers. of IA to 3-8 per cent
above this figure were reported. The
amount Of American credits in Ger
many, is, o fcourse, unknown, but it
is believed hat 1t is now not less than
$3.50, 600, 900.
Cable advices were that an acute
stringency prevailed in the German
none market. as was implied by the
urgency of the demand for funds. The
present situation was said by interna-
tional bankers to be the result of over
speculation in Germany over expan-
sion Of credits and the Withdrawal
O funds by France in the fall, at the
time of the Moroccan scare. :.
but because In the stock market to-
day business fell off sharply. With
no new impetus from any quarter of
a decided trend, prices moved in an
irregular, aimless way.
Some appearance Of strength was
lent b va two point advance in Union
Pacific and a continuation of the up
ward movement in a number Of spe-
cialties, which have been prominent
recently by reason Of their rising
prices.
Union ,Pacifc's advance attracted
particular attention because of the
heaviness which it had displayed for
some time. The stock was not MAIN
tanned long at its top price. but fuc-
tuated an erratfc way throughout.
The general run Of standard stocks
moved within narrow limits and at
the close the list showed irregular
changes.
Amalgamated copper rose in re-
sponse to the advance in price of the
metal to Ia Ia, the highest price Of
nearly three years. The London mar
ket also advanced strongly and the
demand from Europe was reported
as still heavy. Favorable conditions
in the steel trade also were reported.
The weekly reviews of the trade
noted that the steel companies had
made further progress in establishing
higher prices for their products.
Heavy buying from tn erailroads is
expected an dit was estimated that
the contracts for 100000 tons of rails
would b .eplaced within the mex few
weeks.
Bonds were UNUSUAL yactive. Quo
tations were irregular. American to-
bacco and related issues were strong
at record prices. Wabash Is became
heavy after an early advance. Total
