SUPREME COURT AFF1RMS YER
DICT OF GUILTY IN BLIND PIG
49," CASE.

. DR.. J. J. Reilly of Milton, N. D., al
ready convicted Of manslaughter and
sentenced to ten years in the state pen
itentiary, must also serve in addition
thereto term for violation Of the pro-
hibition law, the supreme court decis-
ion being to that effect. DR.. Reilly ap-
pcaled from the verdict Of guilty in
the district court, but the suprem. court
holds aaginst him by affirming the low
err branch of the judicial system, the
decision being handed down Saturday.
DR.. Reilly sought to secure reversal
of the district court on the plea that
the evidence resulting in his conviction
was given by {. man who was himself
guilty of law violation, as an alleged
accomplish, but the supreme court holds
that when such accomplice's testimony
is corroborated in some respects, it is
to be presumed that all of his evidence
is true.
There is pending an appeal to the
supreme court in the manslaughter case
but before it is decided DR.. Reilly
must serve the Jail sentence on the
prohibition violation conviction.
The opinion in the pigging case was
written by Justice A. A. Bruce. The
syllabus follows: ..
!. Under section 10000 Of the revis-
ed codes of 1905, which provides that
ga conviction can not be had upon the
testimony of an accomplish, unless he is
corroborated by such other evidence
as tends to connect the defendant with
the commission of the offense or the
circumstances thereof" it is not nee
essary that the corroborative evidence
shall cover every material point testi-
fed to by the accomplish, the accom-
plice is by such testimony corroborated
as to some material fact or facts tend
ing to connect the defendant with the
commission of the offense, the jury may
from that infer that he speaks the
truth as to all.

THUGS IN SALOON HARD ON To-
CAL SALVATION ARMY
MAN.

Captain and Mrs Ellis, who have TAX
en- charge Of the Salvation Army work
here, are feeling exceedingly gratified
over the success they are having in
making arrangements for Christmas.
The many boxes they have established
in the different business places are be-
ing filled with coins and the money
will be spent in good cause on Christ
mas day.
The work Of the army is not always
pleasant and oftentimes meets with dis
aster that is hard to go through with,
but Captain Ellis likes the spirit that
is being manifest towards him in the
city.
Tn relating his work previous to COM
ing to Devils Lake, he told story OF
how he was used one time down in
Omaha. "While + do not myself be-
lieve in a saloon collection" said the
captain, II was for short time Zone
weary working under commander who
did, down in Omaha, and the lot fell
upon me to take the collection. L
made my way each day many Of the
saloons and sometimes received in
suits and slurs which I took in the
best possible spirit not wishing to in
eur any dis-pleasurc upon myself from
man who was drunk and did not
know his. own midi
"One night" lie continued, III
! found my way into one Of the tough
est places in Omaha and passed the
tambourine around and after taking a
fairly good collection, started to-
leave and was caught by two or three
ruffans and after beating me up for
a while they rushed me off towards
the back end Of the saloon, where they
stood an old unused ice box or refrig-
orator. They opened this and gave me
a push into it and locked the door.
After I had been in there so long
that could hardly breathe, decided
there WASH It manhood enough in the
bunch to help me out and decided to

in the bottom, braced my feet against
the door and pushed with all my might,
breaking hinges and locks and every
thing. When I got outside made a
dash for the door and got out, but
| lost all my money and my tambour-
ine'' .. ..-
Such experiences as this that Capt.
Ellis related only goes to show what
those who desire to serve the Master
in the working among the slums Of our
larger cities have to 80 through with.
He expressed himself as thinking that
working in Devils Lake amongst
class of people who are civilized and
realize that there is place for every
one in the world is much more pleas
ant than working among the debauche
/, in the cities.

Saturday agreed to report to the

bin, by vote of eight to three. The
bill has already passed the House but
has been SO amended that the an
nual cost IN addition to the s153,G0o,-
900 estimated for the ensuing year
will be about $45, 100000. AS passed
by the House the Sullo1ay bill would
increase the monthly pension Of vet
Grams of 81 years from $12 to SIS: oi
65 years from 81 to $50: of 70 years
from s15 to s25, and of IS or more
from $50 to s36. The Senate commit
tee by vote of six to FIVE reduced the
proposed maximum allowance from
$36 to $50 The reduction amounts to
about .4.5o0.Ooo.

cortland press.)


The editor of the Portland Press
shares the surprise Of Representative
Hersey upon finding out that the re-
solve to ratify the federal income tax
amendment was already before the
committee on taxation. Evidently our
esteemed contemporary expected the
federal secretary of State to present
the documents through some member
of the Legislature instead Of the chiei
magistrate. Better guess AGAIN
Somerset Independent Reporter.
Present the documents to whom or
what? The Independent Reporter miss
es the point. Naturally the income
tax amendment would be communl-
Gated from Washington through the
Governor as the channel to the Leg
islature, which would then probably
refer it in the regular course to the
appropriate committee. 1t appeared.
however, that this was not what was
done. Incidentally and almost acci-
dentally the fact came out that the
documents in the case had been turned
directly over to a committee by some
body without the Legislature knowing
anything about It. Maybe that Is the
new way OF doing things in Augusta.

Corn in New England.

Here is another feather for The cap
of the New England farmer The
sweepstake prize for flint corn has
been awarded at the National Corn
Show at Columbus o., this week. to
a sample raised in Berwick, Me. while
the first and second prize samples in
the world class for carly sweet corn
were from Cumberland Center and

Latterly some of the eastern agricul-
tural newspapers have been challeng-
ing the West to compete with the
East in growth in corn upon a fixed
acreage, and the West does not appear
as yet to accept the challenge. There
is possibly no better corn land in the
world than in the hillsides and valleys
|of New England, where the red men
and their white SUCCESSORS have for
centuries grown the best Of the flint
varieties. And better yield than the
past has shown can with intensive
culture, be produced in this eastern
