AN Army Of
WITNESSES
SUMMONED
Resume Of ofImpeachment Laws
and Proceedings
Payment Of Counsel will be
Fixed by Senate
Each Specification is Voted
Upon Separately

Sitting az a high court Of impeach'
ment to try Judge John F. Cowan Of
the Second Judicial District, the state
senate convened at 2 o'clock this at
ternoon in the chamber Of the house
Of representatives.. The preliminary
work Of organization was effected to.
day, requiring all Of the afternoon.
The ceremonies incident to the con-
vening Of the court were unusual and
interesting. President Burdick was
first sworn in as the presiding officer
Of the court and he in turn swore the
members of the senate as members of
the court.
II the work of organization can be
completed this afternoon and the 9TH
er preliminary work disposed of, the
opening statement for the prosecu-
ton will be made tomorrow by Attor-
ney Geo. Bangs. The statement will
be quite lengthy, covering what the
state expects to prove on each of the
eighty charges against Cowan, under
which there is a total of ninety speci-
ficatiOns.
At the opening of the session this
afternoon the house was called to
order by Speaker Hanley but only
20 answered to their names. The
house will be called to order from day
to, day and adjourned. =. :>2aa y~o-
Speaker Hanley quoted from tele-
gram from A. c. Hines of Washington
d. c., to the effect that the ruling he
made in the preliminary hearing and
over which there has been SO much
controversy, was correct.
Army Of Witnesses.
The fact that up to last night total
of 1877 subpeonas had been issued by
the secretary of the senate through
instructions from the impeachment
for witnesses gives some
idea of the magnitude of the case that
is being prepared by the prosecution
to present against Cowan. The wit
nesses include sheriffs and clerks of
courts of practically every county in
the second judicial district as we'll
as a great many residents of those dis
tricts together with a number out of
the district residents.
All of these witnesses have been
to appear before the SEN
ate today. However, inasmuch as no
witnesses can be examined today, the
number of those arriving was not very
great.

FLAX FATAL
TO 6 Cattle

Williston, March 2S-Several farm
ers up the Muddy fed the screenings
of their fax to their cattle and a re-
port brought to US the latter part of
last week stated that six head had
died. John Silker lost three head
of cattle, they uying in less than An
hour from the time they ate the
screenings. Herman Carlson lost one
and four others were very sick. Herb
Addyman lost two head. Farmers
should be very careful and never al
low stock to get 1T flax screenings.
It is evident that the farmers were
not aware of the deadly affects of max
screenings upon stock and If there are
others who do not know we hope they
will see this article and thus be in
time.

MISSOURI RIVER IS
EXPENSIVE NfIGnbOR

Turtle Lake Wave: There is moth
ing so expensive to county as to be
bounded by the Missouri river on one
side. Take Mclean, for instance, 1t
cost us $4,000 last year for steel
bridges on account of all those bluffs
and coulees down by Washburn and
Wilton. About half that amount was
spent on roads during the year. 1t
would be great saving in taxes to
cut off that part and give it back to
Burleigh county where it originally
belonged. Wilton is willing and
would be glad to 60 back, and Wash
burn can't help itself if the rest OF us
want it so.

Retailers Refuse to CUT Prices, and
CattAe Trade Goes from Bad to Worse

During the past week. the cattle
market OF the country has gone from
bad 10 worse, but not as result of
large receipts. The meat-eating pub
1ic Is neglecting beef, and, in spite,
OF moderate arrivals, the entire price
list has been scaled down fully 20
cents per cwt for live cattle.
The current small consumption OF
beef can easily be traced TO several
1exftfmate causes. In the first place
- has been noticed In the columns

TO buy. Early in the winter. the re-
tail trade played the same game with
mutton and lambs, with the result
that the trade in these two varieties
OF meat dwindled dangerously near to
the vanishing point. The trade in
live sheep and lambs was about as
dull as could be imagined, and prices
declined until the dressed product
showed decidedly below normal. Hav-
Ing loaded up with cheap mutton and
lamb. the retail SStchers OF the coun-
try started in to slash values from
the block, with the result that the
consumption OF these two kinds of
meat more than doubled and the en-
tire trade in live animals became
strong and active.
The time Is ripe for the retail
butcher TO change his method in con
nection wit hbeef, for Wholesale prices
have been slashed 10 the limit and
an Immense crop of fat cattle Ia

are the feeling of dullness of the milk
trade and the market for dairy pro

OF going still lower as the number
of fresh cows increases.
