TO ACT AS GENERAL MANAGER
OF UNION LIGHT PLANT Tenn
PoRARILY - ARRIVED YEsTER-
DAY AND LIKES FARGO.

]. N. Hughes of Baltimore, of the
H. M. Byllesby Co. Of Chicago, ar
rived in Fargo yesterday afternoon to
take temporary charge Of the Union
Light, Heat & Power Co., until a sue
cessor to Samuel Kahn, late general
manager Of the company, has been
chosen.
Mr.. Hughes assumed his duties this
morning and thinks he will like his
months sojourn in the city very much
He is highly pleased with Fargo and
feels that 1t has a perfect right to its
appellation of, the biggest little city
in the world, He Is living at the Gard
ner hotel where he was seen by a Fo-
rum man this noon.
II like Fargo already" he declared.
Last evening took little stroll up
and down Broadway and was much
impressed with the lights of that busy
thoroughfare. Fargo has every right
to be proud of her appearance, which
truly gives a stranger an impression
that it is a much larger town than it
actually is"
Mr.. Hughes is a graduate of Johns
Hopkins university, is a man of the
world, has travelled extensively and is
a consulting engineer of note. His
connection with the Byllesby Co. has
only been in the last six months, hav-
ing conducted his own business prior
to that time. Six months ago, he said,
he was induced to enter the company's
employ and occupies high rank
among the many eminent engineers in
the service of that corporation.
He spoke highly Of Mr. Kahn and
stated that he ideally located at Blue
field, w. Va, where he will have charge
of the concerns new water and electric
power investment that is being in
stalled there.
Mr.. Hughes does not talk SHOP"
much but narrates amusing expert
ences he has had and has a wonder
full fund Of information on almost
every subject one would care to con-
verse upon. His coming is a great
relief to ]. McAleese, head of one OF
the departments of the Union Light
Heat g. Power Co., who has been act
ing as general manager since Mr.
Kahn's departure in addition to his
regular duties.
Il am going to like my stay here
and hope to learn great deal about
North Dakota and its people. Every
body have met has been cordial
which seems characteristic of the
northwest. I noticed that as soon as

counsel and advice to aid them in their
future which he trusted would be one
Of unbounded success.

MARKET COMMENT OF TIE DAY
evening Grain Letter.

Chicago June 5.-Wheat: No for
eign markets today. There were some
rains in the northwest which adds to
the already favorable conditions now
prevailing in that territory. Prices
reacted about lie per bushel from the
high point during mid session, rally
ing again toward the close. We rather
incline to the opinion that the winter
wheat crop has suffered considera-
BILE decline in condition, with crop
prospects so favorable in both the
American and Canadian northwest and
with the probability of the passage
of the reciprocity bill now pending in
congress we feel that the latter con-
siderations should be taken into con-
sideration as both would prove i'm
portant factors.

PLEA IN CANADIAN COURT

witnesses to call, he took his place on
the floor and began an argumative
appeal to the jury He told again Of
ali the money he had wasted on law
vers and apologized for his lack of
knowledge as to court etiquette. He
cast aspersions upon Sheriff Olson
and members of the mounted police
force. In reference to one matter that
was particularly distant from the evil
dence addueed, Mr.. Ross interrupted.
That's not in evidence he said.
.Well, that's what happened, any
way" gamely replied Traitor.
His address was replete in detailed
conversation between himself and
various others. He told of promises
broken and hopes destroyed. In the
midst of a passionate round of ora
torv he turned appealingly to the
iudge and came to an abrupt halt
upon finding himself confronted with
a full view of his lordship's back.
He put what might be termed q
sporting proposition to the jury.
isn't it fair" he demanded of twelve
inonassive faces, that when a man
| has been deprived of his liberty that
he should have 1t given him again?"
He left IT for them to decide. Twelve
such intelligent looking men as they
we're, he said, would surely come to
none but fair and unbiased decision,
no matter what the prosecution might
have to say against him.
Not a Fair Deal.
II was not fair deal he had been
given in North Dakota.
THAT trial." he said In reference
to the extradition proceedings, was
more of fake than anything else,
and | told the judge so, too" Where
at the court roared.
He supposed that Mr.. Ross would
make the speech of his life to have
him convicted. He would paint all
those witnesses pure white and he,
Traitor. would be made to appear as
black as night. But he was confident.
His Own Best Lawyer.
| ct don't see where could get a law
yer TO saw for me-" said Trailor what
| have said for myself, have has as
much satisfaction out of my address
as IL a lawyer had made it for me-"
Again he put the liberty proposition
with all its glorious Inducements be-
fore the jury, and as nothing remain
ed to be said that Trailer had left
unsaid he resumed the prisoners
dock.
Mr.. Ross briefly pointed out to the
Jury that the greater part Of Traitors
Address was foreign to the evidence
and must be ignored.
/ His lordship summed up the evil
dence as it stood and explained to
the Jury their duty: According to the
law IL a man be found possessing
stolen property within a reasonably
short time of its being taken, and
other circumstances were not con-
1icting the possessor of the goods
must be found guilty. It remained
with the bench to decide what COM
prised a reasonably short time and
this, the judge explained, was his de-
lcision in this case. 1t remained for
the jury to decide first, whether OF
not 1t was Miss Mackenzie's horse
which was found in his possession
and. second, If so whether his explains
alton OF how it came into his possess
sion was sufficient.
The jury left the room at 4:55 p
M. and at SIS returned with ver-
dict of guilty.
The accused win receive sentence
when the remaining criminal cases
have been decided.

The Morning Leader Of Regina,
sask., in its issue Of May 81 contains
the following concerning the convlc-
ton Of Kid Trailor, the man who was
held for some time in a Cass county
Jail while waiting extradition to Cam
ada Trailor has served time IN q
North Dakota Jail for horse stealing
and is said to be a notorious boraer
horse rustler. The Regina Leader
says
Chas. Winfield, alias Kid Traitor,
has been found guilty of horse steal
ing. This ia the verdict of twelve
good men and true who were yester-
day empanelled on the jury which
heard his case.
The evidence submitted by the pros
cution was complete in detail. Witt
nesses told of his arrival and his de-
parture from different points on his
travel eastward before crossing the
line into the states, and the horses
found In his possession there were
Identified by owners on both sides of
the line.
1t appears that on the night of July
brown mare, the property Of Miss
Jessie Mackenzie, a school teacher
near Glen Evan. Sask., disappeared
from its pasture. The gate was found
presence of a horse which had been
tied there
On July 4 he appeared at the farm
of Joseph Knapp, who knew Trailor
was wanted and informed Sheriff Oh
son Of Williston, N. D. Traitor had
brought four horses with him and
these were taken by the Sheriff who
also arrested Trailor. On the accused
was found pair of wire nippers and
revolver
One of the horses was identified by
Miss Mackenzie and returned to her
on payment Of the $50 reward she
offered.
Traitor did his best to discredit the
testimony of Sheriff Olson by endeav-
oring to mix him on the descriptions
of the horses found in Knapp's pas
ture, but the sheriff was positive as
to the animals.
Prisoner Goes on Stand.
When the chain for the prosecution
was complete, Traitor took the stand
himself and gave his version of the
occurrence. According to him his en-
ployer Matthews had sent him out
with three saddle horses, his own and
two greys, to find pair of bays which
had strayed, He found them and was
returning when apprehended by the
sheriff.
Traitor was cross questioned briefly
by Prosecuting Attorney Ross. He adj
mitted under pressure that he was q
much misunderstood man. He hao
been misunderstood when sentenced
to ten months in North Dakota and
was still so misunderstood He was
also a victim of grasping lawyers who
had robbed him of his last cent and
allowed him to be sent to JAIL He
was a victim of witnesses who could
clear him, but would not come all
this way to the trial without receiving
expenses, and he did not think that
the crown would care to stand the
expense He had been in solitary
confinement for three months and did
not see a newspaper, consequently he
did not know that the prosecution
were preparing such an elaborate
case, and did not make proper pro.
vision. He incidentally admitted thai
none Of the prosecuting witnesses hac
told the truth.
