Manslaughter in Third
Degree.

John Beaureguard. charged with the
murder of Louis Mitchell of the town
of Barnes, who last year was convicted
of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to life imprisonment, but
who later was returned to the county
Jail in this city for a new trial on an
appeal which was taken to the Su-
preme court, is now to serve three
years in prison. At the term of
circuit court held here Monday
Beaureguard entered plea of guilty
of manslaughter in the third degree
which was accepted by the court and
he was sentenced to three years in
the state prison at Waupon. At his
first trial Beaureguard claimed self
defense, claiming that he killed
Mitchell to save himself from serious
injury or death. Beaureguard struck
Mitchell over the head with a gun
and Mitchell died as result of the
beating. The killing was the result
of quarrel between Mitchell and his
wife in which Beaureguard attempted
to interfere with the result that
Mitchell turned upon him.

A Good Many Cases Being
Disposed of
Arson Case Against Joseph
Doucette of Iron River
Dismissed.

Circuit court convened in this city
last Monday morning with Judge
John K. Parish presiding. The
criminal calendar which consisted oi
seven cases was disposed of in a
hurry. John Beaureguard, charged
with murder, entered plea of guilty
Of manslaughter in the third degree
which was accepted. He was given
d three year sentence.
The robbery case against w. S.
Mcdonald was dismissed from court,
the complaining witness in the case
not appearing and his bail was for
feited.
The arson case against Joseph
Doucette was dismissed on the
ground that Doucette had testified
against himself without being in
formed of his constitutional rights.
Judge Parish has ruled in two other
cases previous to this that where a
man is asked questions at the prelim-
mary hearing that will incriminate
himself that the case shall be dis
missed. Following his ruling the
Doucette case was dismissed on these
grounds,
The case against Victor Anderson
for larceny from the person was dis
missed, the complaining witness
having fled the country.
The case against A. G. Rash,
division superintendent of the Omaha
railway, who was charged with dump
ing garbage into waters of Chequame-
gon bay, was nolled.
Herman Nuckler was found guilty
of selling liquor to minors ard was
fined $25 and costs amounting in all
to $4,000.
The case of the state VS.. George
Carroll is yet to be tried.
Divorces were granted to Mary E.
Livingston, Alma Lillystrom, Lottie
Ackley, Bessie Keidth and Kattie
Shadtmo.
The cases of F. Rowles and c. l..
Wiley against the Northern Pacific
railway have been settled out of
court.
The court is now trying the case
of the Jacob Johnson Fish Co. against
John Hawley, Administrator. This
case is being tried before jury and
will be finished some time today.
1t is not likely that the calendar of
cases will be disposed of until the
latter part of next week and an
adjourned session may yet have to be
held.

The Washburn High School
Foot ball team went to Mellen
last Saturday afternoon where
they played the high school
team of that place. The game
resulted in no score being made
by either side, although the
Washburn boys claim that they
were entitled to touchdown.
The Washburn lads succeeded in
putting the ball over the line
but were penalized by the
referee who claimed that some
of the players were off side
when the ball was put into play.
The Washburn boys played the
better game and should have
won. It was a good contest.

Business Men are Protest.
ing Against Raise
Claim that their Valuation
is being Placed Above
Actual Value.

A howl of protest is going up from
the business men and others of the
city over the action of the Board of
Review in attempting to raise valua-
ticns generally throughout the city.
The Board of Review began serving
notices to appear the first of the week
and practically every business man
and good many of the property owners
have been summoned to show cause
why their valuation should not be
raised. A good many of those who
have been summoned to appear be-
lieve that their values as placed by
the assessor are high enough but the
Board of Review seem to have a
different opinion and in many in
instances the valuation will be
raised considerable.
All day Tuesday there was con-
tinual string of merchants and others
at the city clerks Office, where the
sessions of the board of review ere
being held, entering protests against
a raise. There are also number of
others who state that they will fight
their case in courts if their assess
ments is raised, claiming that it is un-
just.
In some instances the valuations, it
is said, will be raised one-half higher
while some will even go higher than
that. 1t is true some of the proper
ty in the city is not on the assess
ment roll for its actual value but then
again there is property that is being
assessed at more than it is worth. In
attempting to correct the roll the
Board of Review will find that they
have poked into hornets nest
that will prove to be quite mix-up
before they are through. The ma
iority Of the members of the board
are inclined to be fair, however, and
equalize the additional raise as near
as it is possible to do so.

beautiful.

Since the movement began to have
all the British Marys unite in giving

the number of women, children and

Priceless Things Lost
In Albany Capital Fire

NEW YORK, April cit is per
haps not generally known throughout
the country that the Capitol of the
Empire State, which was destroyed by
fire this week, was one of the most
costly public buildings in the United
States, the National Capitol at Wash
ington costing only about half ais
much as that at Albany. Up to the
beginning of the present fiscal year
24,265,OS has been expended on it,
and estimates placed the cost of com
plotting it at several millions more.
Only one other public building in the
country cost more, and that is the
Philadelphia City Hall, on which
more than S3O,OOO,0OO has been ex-
pended to date. The National Capitol
at Washington cost 81, 725,47S, the
Pennsylvania State Capitol at Harris.
burg cost $13,OOO,OOO, and the Parlia.
ment buildings at Ottawa, Canada
cost 100000. Notwithstanding the
enormous amount of money expended
in constructing the Albany Capitol, il
was nothing more than monument Ct
graft and incapacity.
