TERRIFIC GR|LL|NG
SHAKES THE STORY
OF MRS. PATTERSON
Alleged Slayer Of Husband
Forced Into Many
Contradictions.

DENVER, Nov. 8.-The terrific grill
ing which Mrs. Gertrude Gibson pat
terson underwent yesterday at the
hands of Prosecutor Benson, regarding
her life previous to the time sSe slew
her husband. was continued today.
The prosecutor drew from Mrs. Pat
terson In detail the cruelties which she
alleged were inflicted by her husband
after marriage. Then he suddenly
changed his line Of questioning and pro-
duced a packet Of letters.
Witness Identified them as having
been written by herself to her hus-
band about the time she had said she
was applying for divorce, and her hug
band was inhicttng the most revolving
cruelties upon her. They were full of
endearing terms and promises Of life
"Soul." she called the man she after
wards shot; "Dear Little Pet" Lit
tie Wee Heart" MY Darling" 10 ran
other messages of love.
No woman in the history of colored
criminal trials has ever been subjected
to such a cross s-examination, and Mrs.
Patterson was driven to many contra
dictions in her original story.

For today, matinee and night, we |
are going to offer one of the finest of
all Pathe Indian dramas. The story |
is out of the ordinary, but as it EN-
phasizes one of the many traditions
of the great tribe of the Mohicans,
it is of more than passing interest. |
it is taken midst the
scenes of Colorado which |
adds additional charm. The daughter
of the chief of the Mohicans meets a
brave from neighboring nation and
falls in love with him. Her father
however, does not approve of this and
gives her to another sutton who starts
with her to his wigwam. On the
way the unhappy girl appeals to a
medicine woman, who gives her
magic feather which produces death
and to the disappointed lover she
gives another feather of life. Just
before the marriage ceremony the
maiden uses the feather of death aud
is buried. After the burial her lover
steals the body, and using the feather

NEGRO DESPERATE LAUGHS

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 25.-Frank
Harrison, the negro desperate of Tus-
caloosa, who killed two white men this
week and who was brought to the jail
here for safekeeping, laughed today
in speaking of his crimes.
He said he appreciated the fact that
white men were protecting him from
being lynched, but said he. could not
imagine what would be the finish
when the law got through with him.
The negro will be kept here until his

Fault-fnding newspapers and envi-
Gus politicians may criticize Governor
Eberhart for not spending more of his
time at the state capitol in St. Paul,
but sensible people pay little attention
to such criticisms. The school
teachers and school officers of Mile
Laos county we're pleased to have the
governor with them at Milaca last
Friday, and he came at great incon-
venience to himself-it necessitated a
midnight railroad ride and two. long
automobile jaunts. His remarks on the
occasion were highly appropriate and
we're we'll received by the large and
Intelligent audience. If the governor
makes. as many friends at the other
gatherings he addresses as he made at
Milaca last Friday he can we'll afford
to ignore his fault-fnding critics. =.

It was so dry down at Florence S.
c., that the cotton crop was suffering.
when the Rev. A. E. Moore of the
Methodist church came to the rescue.
He promised his congregation that he
would do his best to bring forth rain
by means Of prayer, and accomplished
his end. But the rain came in such
torrents and continued to pour for so
long period that the cotton suffered
more from the water than it did from
the drouth-it was ruined. Hence the
congregation threatened to secure an
injunction restraining their pastor
from offering any more such prayers
but compromised upon his agreeing
to seek pastures new-to leave town.
This should be lesson to those who
think they know better than the Lord
what is good for them. Had tn at
preacher not prayed for rain half a
crop or more would probably have
been secured, but as it was the cotton
met destruction-a deserved punish
ment!

1t is the opinion of the Foreston
Independent that Governor. Eberhart
cannot be coaxed or driven into
calling an extra session of the legis-
lature. But he may do SO of his own
accord if he becomes convinced that
any good to the state will result
therefrom. At the present time the
governor refuses to commit himself
and therein he shows good sense.

American heiresses who are ir

American heiresses who are in a
state of excitement in anticipation OF
the creation of new British peers are
likely to be disappointed-the govern.
ment thinks it will probably be un-
necessary to let George do it, that the
veto bill can be squeezed through the
house of lords without the elevation
of hangers-on at court to the peerage.
This sounds good to US, for the crea.
tion of more peers would in all prob.
ability mean the transporting oi
millions of dollars of American
money to England to be squandered
for empty titles with libertine attach
ments. The average American heiress
possesses less common-sense than an
embryo grasshopper.

By vote of 48 to 32 the senate
passed the La Toilette compromise
wool revision bill after defeating the
original La Toilette measure and the
Underwood house bill. The bill pro-
vides for a reduction to IS per cent ad
valorem of the duty on raw wool and
a corresponding reduction on woolen
goods. If President Taft signs the
bill, which appears unlikely, the
people will be fooled if they expect to
buy woolen clothing cheaper. It will
merely mean more profit for the cloth

There is no absolute certainty that
Canada will ratify the reciprocity
measure recently signed by President
Taft. This can only he determined by
the result of a general election which
will be held in the dominion on
September 2l. Parliament has been
dissolved this week and the mem
bers have gone forth to campaign
for reelection and to tell their con-
stituents whether they are in favor
of or opposed to reciprocity-reci-
procity will be practically the sole u.s.
sue. The government is relying for
success at the polls upon the popu-
larity of reciprocity in the rural dis
tricts, conceding that the cities are
less promising, while the opposition
is depending largely upon an un.
usually big campaign fund to which
Canadian manufacturers, British i'm.
perialists and American opponents o1
reciprocity have promised to contrib.
ute. England alone, it is stated,
will contribute $500, 900 to this fund.

NEW ARMORY FOR PRINCETON.
sum or Ten Thousand Dollars Now Availa-
BILE for This Purpose

sum or Ten Thousand Dollars Now AvaiIa-
BILE for This Purpose.
Under the provisions of a bill
passed by the last legislature the sum
OF $4,000 is now available for the
purpose of building new armory in
Princeton. But in order to secure
this appropriation certain conditions
have to be first complied with. The
Ia" specifies that the company seek
ing to build an armory "shall have
first deposited with the state treasurer
at least the sum of 81, 900 as evidence
OF good faith, and shall have con-
veyed to or caused to be conveyed to
the state of Minnesota, by good and
sufficient deed of warranty and free
OF lncumbrance, the title to a site for
an armory." 1t is also specified
that the amount deposited shall be
added to the $40, 1000 appropriated and
"all be used for the purpose of build
ing, erecting and equipping an ar
mory building on said site."
1t no" depends entirely upon the
people whether Princeton secures this
armory-it depends on whether a.
thousand dollars can be raised by
public subscription in addition to the
amount necessary to purchase site.
This building, if erected, will be l20
by 66 feet and, in addition to an
armory, will be fitted up as a public
hall for holding meetings of various
kinds. A building of this sort would
be a most valuable acquisition to
the village and the people should not
let the opportunity slip by without
embracing it.
