OUTRAGEOUS CRIME.
Jury Returned Verdict at Towner III
Five Minutes-Rockhold, Charged
With Crime, Maintains Innocense

Towner, n. D., Aug. 7.-Walter Rock
hold was found guilty on the charge of
rape upon the person of Miss Grace
Dougherty, the, jury returning its de-
cision in five minutes. Rockhold was
sentenced to fifteen years in the state
penitentiary.
The case refers to the ficndish as
sault that was made on the school
teacher near Plaza and was transferred
from Ward county to McHenry county.
Miss Dougherty's testimony related
all the incidents of the fiendish crime,
when she was stopped on the road
while on the way home from Plaza and
assaulted. She told how the defendant
had stopped her; climbing into the bug
gy without her consent and later in
scutfle throwing her out of the rig.
How she started to run across the field
after she found out what was wanted,
but being overtaken, the fiend accom-
plishing his purpose.
She was severely cross-eNamna1 by
Atty. Combs, but her testimony was
not shaken,
-Four other witnesses were placed on
the stand, two of them for the pur-
pose of Identification. and the other
two having heard the story from the
girl Immediately after the incident. One
of the latter parties was her father.
The defendant, when placed on the
stand, was given a eruelling eNamina-
ton by States Attorney Nash. Atty.
Nash made the defendant admit that he
had served a term in the penitentiary,
having been sentenced in this county
two years ago, for forgery, going under
the name of Bert Wilson, and that he
was an opium fiend and drunkard.
! Atty. Combs attempted to prove by
the testimony of the defendant that
Miss Doueherty, the complaining wit
ness, had encouraged the actions, and
also that the defendant had not been
able to accomplish his purpose.

Seattle was made on the same time

The experiment is one of the most
interesting now going on anywhere in
the United States. The railways have
commended. following recent disastrous
forest fires. that they have not been
responsible, while government forestry
experts have figured in the locomotive
spark as an important factor in caus-
ing fires. When the fuel supply sta
tions have ben constructed and the
lis locomotives that make the run
over the Cascade division of the Great
Northern are equipped with oil-hurn-
ers, the Great Northern road will have
eliminated the possibility of ignition
from regular operating causes. In the
event of repetition of the disastrous
contiagration of two years ago the
government will have to seek for
causes not connected with railroad op-

failed however, but as it was the en-
CINE, tender and mail car were derail-
ed.
Spikes and fish plates were removed

flyer also. Fish plates and spikes were
placed on the track d quarter of a

trains passed ever smoothly and no

This afternoon crowbars and seevral
other implements used in the endeavor
to wreck the Great Northtrn train at
the junction of the Northern Pacific
tracks, were found in the grass near
the scene Of the accident. 1t was also
discovered that the spikes had been
taken out for a distance of three rail
lengths Every indication points to an
attempt to wreck the trains, which
might have resulted very seriously had
not the plan been thwarted in lucky

G. N. rs TRYING OIL BURNERS
Experiment if Successful Will Elm.
mate Forest Fires From Engine
Sparks

Minneapolis Journal: While loco
motive No. 1881 on the run from
Leavenworth to Seattle, WASH. on the
Great Northern road is making it's
first experimental trips with crude
California oil as fuel, the Offices Of
President Louis w. Hill and General
Manager j. M. Gruber are awaiting
with interest the reports of the re.
suits obtained. No. 1881 is only the
first of lis locomotives that will be
changed from coal-burners to oil-burn-
ers. Locomotive 1921 has already
made one trip but will have to make
four or five before data that will show
results conclusively can be obtained.
President Hill announced three
months ago, that in connection with
the work of forest preservation by the
federal government and with the idea
OF lending all assistance possible, the
change to oil burners would be made.
The plan contemplates a big storage
plant at Everett on tide-water where
ships carrying crude petroleum from
the California fields may come direct
for unloading. This plant is not vet
completed.
Mr.. Gruber said today that the ex.
pertinent with locomotive 1921 is not
conclusive for the reason that a 10000
gallon tank is attached. This big tank
is factor against most effective
operation. When the storage plant at
Everett and minor supply stations
have been erected it will not be neces-
sary to carry so much weight in fuel
supply.
Notwithstanding the weight of the
tank the run from Leavenworth to
