win ALL to be returned a winner. The
Locomobile quintet will have to be
satisfied with the second position, due
principally to their bad start. Third
place is in doubt and the winner of
this position will not be decided until
the schedule is completed, the No.

one point over the Billiard pin shoot
ers for this position. The sixth, sew

doubt and will not be determined I'M

three teams that are struggling for
the sixth position, the Warner Bros.

to rout In his testimony
He said that upon opening the body
large sack was found on the left side
filled with blood, and that this loss of
nourishment, which went to waste, had
brought about starvation in the
mans body and caused his death. The
formation of this sack, he said, was
due to the bullet in the mans side.
together with the blood clots that had
formed around it, being torn from the
artery by a jar or strain, thus causing
internal hemorrhages.
The other point for the state was
brought out in the location of the
wounds. BY means of the dummy"
the marks were made showing their
location, and then in indicating the
direction the bullet was found to have
taken after entering the flesh, the
doctor could not help but give a def
mite impression of how the bullet was
going when it struck the man. The
state has maintained throughout the
hearing and the present trial that a
man could not shoot himself to cause
such wounds or would not try in an
attempt to commit suicide

Der OF citizens present, it Is evident

The great advantages of Minot as

southern Canada were ably pointed
out in mastery addresses by Gov. ].
M. Devine, j. S. Murphy, John H.
Lewis, F. B. Lambert, Rev. Olsen and
others. Instead of supporting a city
or 5000 people, it was shown that the
country tributary to Minot should,
when fully developed maintain city
of from $4,000 to 100, 600 people. This
might look like a vague dream to
some people, but when it is remem-
bered that most of the cities of the
middle west at their inception did

that Minot has today, there is moth
ing particularly amazing in the state

GATSKE TRIAL

STATE ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT
WOMAN WITH SHOOTING OF
HER HUSBAND.

tack in the Gatzke murder case was
taken Friday when the state began the
examination of witnesses who were
near the Gatzke house at the time If
the shooting, and States Attorney
Kneeland commenced to work on the
probability of the woman having done
the shooting. Several Of the witnesses
were questioned regarding the signs Of
excitement shown by the man and
wife when they were first seen. One
witness was found to have a meager
understan ding of English and when an
interpreter could not be found to whom
the defense could agree, a recess was
declared shortly afr II o'clock.
The whole Of Thursday afternoon
was taken up with the testimony of
the physicians who held the post NOR
tenn examination Of Gatzke's body on
Jan. 81. The testimony is generally
considered a strong point in the states
favor and c. S. Buck, attorney for the
defense, made vigorous objections to its
being introduced as testimony.
In this testimony the state worked
to bring out two points. The first was
that the death of the man was the di-
rect result of his wounds received in
the shooting. Gatzke's death occurred
so long after the shooting affray that
there was considerable doubt that his
