DISTRICT COuRI

The argument on the motion to
grant A. Primeauxa and Roy
Primeaux seperate trial in the
arson case were concluded about
9 o'clock Saturday night and the
matter was submitted to the
court. Judge Averill Immediately
rendered this decision granting the
motion. Two, of the grounds of
the decision we're that the state
had not unequivocalIy stated that
it would not use the alleged con
fession Of William Dye in the joint
trial Of the defendants and that a
joint trial would deprive each of
the defendants of the peremptory
challenges allowed them by law.
Attorney Levers for the state
then offered to stipulate that the
alleged confession would not be uesd
by the prosecution, and that the
defendants should have the number
of peremptory challenges all"we d
them by law if tried separately.
Judge Perky. Dyes attorney. and
King and McCarren for the
Primeauxs refused to make any
such stipulation. This refusal to
slpulate prevented any modification
of the C, urt's order ganting
separate trial to the Primcaux's.
Court then adjourned until 10
o'clock Monday.
When court convened this fore
noon. the roll of veniremen were
called and they were excused until
II o'clock or longer if notified
by the sheriff.
The arson cases were then
called and the state announced
that it would try William Dye
first. The Primeaux cases were
continued later to 10 o'clock next
Monday or sooner if the business
of the court would permit.
The Dye case was taken no
and Judge Perky moved for a
change of venue. He read the
aftidavits of William Dye, w. H.
Harper J. NJ. Mcnamara and s. d.
Lang in support of the motion ana
submitted il without argument.
Judge Avcrill denied the motion
with, leave to renew the same
during the empanelmeEt of the
jury.
Judge Perky then moved for con
tinuance for thirty days on account
of the absence of Frank Cranky, a
material witness for the defense.
He read the affidavit Of Dye in
support of the motion and then
called A. w. Sewell, the prose cut
ing witness to the stand. He sub
mitted the motion without argu-
ment.
The state cal led A. w. SewelI to
the stand and cushioned him on
the matter set out in the affidavit
fer continuance.
The motion was then submitted
to the court and denied on the
ground that the proper showing
had not been made. The court
then took recess until 2 o'clock
this afternoon.

THREE ROBBERIEs
Fargo Was The Scene of Number OF
Bold HOld.ups

Fargo, N. D., July 1s.-with the
amount Of gun display that was made
in the several highway robberies that
took place in this city the wonder is
that some one was not killed. In at
least two of the robberies revolvers
played an important part. 1t is be-
lieved that both Hanson and Findle-
man, who were robbed just of N. P.
avenue, were struck repeatedly with
the butts Of revolvers while the Sec
ond robbery, in which young man
who boards near Oak Grove park was
attacked. the gun was placed close
to his stomach.
This was an extremely bold hold
up. 1t was committed directly under
an electric light and the victim says
he could recognize either man.
In the case of the teamster of
Archie Moore who was held up by
two negroes of Front street they
were desperate, for they made him
take off his shoes and stockings in
their search for his money and after
they had secured the only money he
had, something over 81, they let him
go.
