{. C. TOLLEY WAS
FOUND GUILTY
KENMARE MAN FACES POSSIBLE
TERM IN PEN FOR cRIMI-
NAL LIBEL.

Minot N. D., March 20.-E. c. Toll
ley of Kenmare, one of the most .promi-
nent real estate men in North Dakota,
was found guilty of criminal libel. The
jury which took the case at o'clock
in the afternoon did not arrive at a
verdict until 10 o'clock.
This was one of the hardest fought
cases in the district court, and the
outcome has been watched with eager
expectatio
Tolley was charged with publishing
in The Kenmare Journal a libelous
statement to the effect that Ambrose
Olson had Incorporated hundreds
of dollars which ToIley said he had
placed in Olson's hands.
Having made this statement, it was
up to Tolley to prove it and also to
show that the statement was made
for justifiable ends On the stand Toll
ley testified that he had on six differ
ent occasions paid to Olson $500, and
of these payments Tolley claimed that
Olson had misappropriated to his own
use $500.
Tolley was lame in the proof of this.
he said the payments were always
made in currency and he did not know
the date or the time of day or year
and exhibited no cash books or records
to show that the money was turned
over. Olson denied that he had re-
ceived any such payments and showed
that some time after the alleged mis-
appropriation Tolley had made him
cashier of his bank at Tolley.
Mr.. Tolley secured a stay of execu-
ton pending an appeal to the state
supreme court
The penalty for criminal libel is
from one to five years I'm the state
penitentiary, or a fine of not exceeding
$1,000, or both fine and Imprisonment.

Is confined on charge of participant

Soldiers Await News.
San Antonio, Tex. March 2O.-On-
GERS and men alike at the army maneu-
vers camp were eager readers Of the
news from Washington and Mexico to-
day, seeking for straws to reveal how
the winds of affairs are blowing. 1t
is generally conceded that whatever
Minister Limantour's mission to Mexi-
co may be, 1t has a vital bearing on
the destinies of the troops here.
The events that will transpire this
week are expected to clear the situa
ticn considerably. Close observers of
the Mexican situation declare that
mere changes in the cabinet Of Presi-
dent Diaz or even the resignation OF
the president himself, should he at
tempt to appoint successor, can
scarcely be satisfactory to the revolu-
tionists, Led by Francisco T. Madero,
the insurrectos have insisted first and
last that there must be free election
for president and local self govern
ment.
Cabinet changes scarcely would
meet this demand. There must be
recognition Of the right of suffrage
they say.
