The Fargo opera house never held

which assembled last night. The house
was filled. Many women We're present

The applause was frequent.
The meeting was presided over by

NOVEMBER 20 FOR
TRIAL Of YOUNG
COOPER
Trail County Murder Case
Will Come Up Then Be-
fore Judge Templeton

Monday. November 20, has been
fixed by Judge G. + Templcton of the
district court as the date upon which
the trial of Mclean Cooper will he
commenced. Cooper is tho Trail
county young mar whose ease was
transferred to this county for trial on
an affidavit of prejudice directed both
against Traill county and against
Judge Pollock.
This will be the first murder case
that has been tried in Grand Forks
county since the Famous West case of
1902, although previous to that they
were of more frequent occurrence.
1t is not believed that there will
be a great deal of difficulty in secur-
ing a jury in this county in view Of
the fact that the details of the affair
which led up to the defendants ar
rest are not very we'll known. and the
action has o been very widely dis
cusscd. In Trail county the interest
IN the case was at fever heat, prin-
clpallN because Of tho fact that the
Cooper family was so we'll and rom
incntly known throughout the county.

liabitual intemperancc and non

Mrs. Stewart, who was i'm Grand

Mrs. Stewart was in Pcmbina dur
ing the brief time that the case was
in progress In tho district court, and
their daughter WAS also there. II is
expected that the divorced wife Of
tho former Neche immigration Off
cor will return to this city tomorrow.
Mr.. Stewart was only this morning
dismissed ut Pcmbina from tho charge
of numbering Philip Worrall on
which he has been held since last
July.
Another peculiar feature of the case
is the fact that Mrs. Stewart. when
she was in Grand Forks, appeared
To he very much p%rrturbed at the fact
that her husband WAS being held Il
prisoner. and was very bitter against
those responsible for his arrest. She
WAS pronounced in her statements
that he was rot guilty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart have been
married eighteen years. and have

he is clerk of courts for the county on
the ground that a man who is dead cannot
be legally elected TO Office and the court
may be asked TO solve the puzzle.
