N. D. BOY TOOK
HIS OWN LIFE

Ashley N. D., Aug. s.--Jacob Hof,
a son Of Adam Hon living in the He'll
wig neighborhood about twenty miles
northeast of Ashley, committed sui
eide by hanging.
The boy with his father and other
help had returned from their work in
the fields, had unhitched the teams and
all except this boy went in the house
for dinner. After waiting a short while
little 6-year-old girl was sent out to
call Jakob for dinner. but receiving
no answer to her call the little girl
went to the barn where she found him
hanging from rope. She immediately
ran to the house and notified the
others. One of the unfortunate boys
brothers quickly ran out and cut the
rope, but it was too late, he was dead.
The suicide tied two short ropes
together and fastened same to the CELL
ing OF the barn and standing on a
pail tied the rope around his neck.
then kicked the pail from under him.
The reason Of the young mans rash
deed is mystery.

CROP OUTLOOK
MUCH Improved

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. s.-With the
starting Of the harvest and the COM
.pletion Of some threshing it is shown
that crop conditions in the state are
not as bad as was feared earlier in
the season. Winter wheat is com
ling to the front in a manner that is
pleasing to those who have maintained
for years that it is good crop in
North Dakota. Oats in most places
are going better than was expected
and barley is in almost all instances
good crop.
& In Mclean county where for time
IT was feared there would be prac-
tically no crop in good many places
the estimate is now being made is for
AN average of eight bushels over the
entire county. This in place OF an alb
solute failure as was the case last year
makes the people feel rather good.
The rains of the past week have i'm
proved the fax outlook until in many
;places there will be 100 per cent crop
land this in connection with the fact
that there is the same per cent of in
crease in acreage over the slope coun-
try at least. makes prospects good.
Harvesting is general and a good deal
of threshing Is being done.

advisability Of the project. 1t will be

Forester Ballingers after returning to
Dickinson from an inspection Of the

the streams and guIches out north In
the territory under consideration. He
feels that it should be reserved and
the action should be taken at once.

TO fifteen years in the penitentiary.
Rockhold applied for change OF ven

Rockford was the tramp whose as

Rockford admitted, under a grueling
examination, that he had already sery-

also admitted being a drunkard and an

SOCIALIST WAS
FORCED TO QUIT

Devils Lake, N, D., Aug. S.-Because
Of his failure to vote as instructed by
the socialist local on the matter Of the
admission of the moving picture show,
Alderman Callaghan's resignation was
accepted yesterday by the local social-
lists and will be presented this evening
to the council.
The action of the socialists was not
unexpected but has been watched for
for some time.
The rumpus first started when the
application OF Lyons & Doty was first
considered and Alderman Miller voted
in favor OF the admission. The social
lists met and instructed Mr.. Miller to
move for a reconsideration, which
was done and the application was re-
jected. In the meantime Mr.. CaiIag-
han deemed it his privilege to change
his mind and he moved for a recon
sideration last week, which was grant
ed and the license was issued. The So
cialist local met yesterday afternoon
and accepted the resignation of callag-
han, which, In accordance with the
rules OF the party had been placed
on file when elected to the Office.
Today the members OF the local are
endeavoring to explain their attitude
to interested citizens. I'VE regret. -
said one of the leaders, "that the ques-
ton on which Alderman Callaghan
went wrong was such trivial one but
we must enforce our rules. / think we
were right, but whether ! did or not
If the local told one OF the members
to vote d certain way, he must obey
them or be removed"
II have never seen anything that
quite equaled the action of the social.

who have been advocating the election

KING ALFONSO'S
 LIFE IN DANGER

Malaga, Spain, January 7.-What is be- lieved by many to havesbeen an attempt upon the life of King Alfonso occurred during his brief visit, here, Thursday and threw his attendants into a panic. ' The facts became definitely known for the first time today. The King, accom- panied by Premier Canalejas, General Az par, minister of war, and Arias Miranda, minister of marine. had arrived here from Madrid, en rodte for Melilla for week $ stay in the vicinity of the Spanish town in Morocco.
 At the railway station his majesty was acclaimed by great throng that joy ously followed the carriage in which he drove with the mayor to the palace of the governor general.
 Arriving at the palace the King stepped down from the carriage and, turning for moment, again acknowledged the salvos of applause and then entered the palace. As the door closed behind him an explo- sion in the crowd outside drowned the cheers. Before the alarmed and stam- peded masses fully realized just what had happened gendarmes had closed in about the spot from which the report arose. It was found that two physicians had been slightly injured, but no other harm was done.
 An official account of the incident says that 1t was unimportant. A civilian dropped "a pistol enclosed in a box" No further details were made public.
 Yesterday the King and his party boarded the royal yacht Giralda and pro- ceeded for Melilla. The yacht was con- voyed by warships.

the Japenese government to the museum of natural history in New York.
 The leviathan washed ashore on the coast of Japan and the government had it's skeleton saved in perfect condition. The parts were disjointed in such a way that they can easily be assembled whom the cases reach their destination.
 Captain Sheppard referred the Globe man to Second Officer White, who told of running into the school of whales.
 Tt was certainly a remarkable coin- cidence that we should meet so many whales when we had on board probably the only skeleton of a whale ever sent across the ocean," said the officer. Some of the crew were inclined to consider it 8 bad omen.'
 MT. White said that 1t was in latitude 42 degrees 30 minutes north, longitude I'd degrees 50 minutes west, approximately when the steamer caught up with them and they seemed to close around her, following along and rubbing against her steel sides. They chased the freighter into the headlands and then they drew away and started off to the eastward Everyone on board the steamer was talking about the occurrence yesterday. No one had ever before seen so many whales at one time. One of the officers said there were fully 100 in the school.

PRACTICE IN CRIMINAL CASES
The Pris0ner's Counsel Couldn't Ad-
 dress the Jury

From the London Chronicle. -s>
 It seems hardly credible that less than e century ago counsel were not allowed Sydney Smith first preached against this cruel law.
 He pointed out that while in any court where property was concerned counsel was heard on both sides, in court where human life was trembling in the balance only the prosecuting counsel was heard, and it was unfair to match & prisoner. unaccustomed to marshal facts and un- able to speak, against skilled counsel, whose sole purpose for Its own reputation was to win a case. Sydney Smiths elo- quent words led to the passing of the prisoners defense act. 1920, which altered the practice.
 Another unjust practice. which was pe- culiar to the Old Bailey, was that when an accused person was acquitted he was obliged to pay the fees of Newgate or go hack for want of money. So many un- fortunate prisoners died in Newgate through this that Alderman Brown, lord mayor in 1733, caused an order of the court to be that when any accused per- sons were acquitted by their country they should instantly be discharged in court without paying any fees whatsoever, an order which has been strictly adhered to ever since.
 Of the challenging of jurors one re- members tale from Ireland. The pris- oner was hard to satisfy and juryman after juryman was asked to leave the box. However, all things come to an end, even in Ireland,s and at last the swearing of the jury was completed And then the prisoner leaned over the dock and sought the ear of his solicitor. "The jury's all right now, I think" he whispered. 'but ye must challenge tho judge I've been convicted under him siviral times already. and maybe he's be ginnin' to have a prejudice"
 Laughter at a murder trial jars upon the reader, though 1t may come as re- lief to the nerves of people in court. But sometimes 1t cannot be helped.
