Bickford Case Is
Now Being: Tried
Many Witnesses Testify as to the
Bookkeeping Methods IN the
State Offices

state VlIEeS
The district court convened Mon
day morning after an adjourn
ment since the 18th. All the
Jurors were unable to be present
go another adjournment was taken
until two O'Clock. Judge Crawford
of Dickinson then took the bench
and the case of state vs.. ex- Treas.
urer George L. Bickford
for embezzlement of $60,4l3.ll
was called for trial. Geo. Bangs,
attorney for the defendant, asked
to have the demurrer to the in
formation which had been over
ruled by Judge Winchester, re-
considered by Judge Crawford and
accordingly the demurrer was sub
mitted to Judge Crowford but as
it had already been ruled on by
Judge Winchester, Judge Craw-
ford stated, otter hearing the argu-
ments on both sides, that he would
not change the ruling already
made by Judge Winchester at
Bismarck.
The selection of jurors was then
commenced, Mr.. Bangs examining
the jurors on the part of the
defense and States Attorney Smith
on the part Of the state. The
defense seemed to be interested in
the political affiliations of the
jurors, especially with respect to
whether they were stalwart or pro-
gressive republicans. There was
no juror who disqualified for cause
as none of them disclosed that
they had formed an opinion as to
the guilt or innocence Of the de.
fendant and only nine were ex.
cused .emptorially, being three
by the state and six by the defense
The following jury was secured
at $50 Tuesday morning:
O.. j. Amundson, Ryder: Ras
mus Nelson, Underwood; j. w
Olson, Wilton; G., M. Robinson
Coleharbor; Fred Berger, Benedict

Mrs. Ellen Mitchell, the mai1
witness for the state, was the firs
one called on the stand. Sh'
traced the different drafts il
question that were sent from th'
treasurer of Barnes county to th'
state auditor who gave them t.
State Treasurer Biokford. Thes'
drafts were traced through tn
books from the first entry. Ih'
different bankers, who were als'
state witnesses, traced these draft
through their banks. The sat
torneys for the prosecution he
laid q good foundation for q con

Sam Newman Is
Free Man Again
Relative Testified That He Saw
Newman Fire the Shot That
Killed Rosco Conkling

AlllSU NVSkV SVuAlu6
In the case of the U. 8. govern
ment against Samuel Newman, a
full blooded Indian, charged with
murder in the first degree, Mason
Jones, a relative of the accused
man, occupied court for the great
er part of the day. Judge Barnett
piled questions at Jones which
introduced some startling testi-
mony, mainly that of his being an
eye witness to the alledged murder.
Jones stated to the court that he
had been in the house of Newman
with Conkling for about two hours
when Newman entered. As the
defendant came into the house he
began looking around the room
and finally went over behind a
door where he pulled down an old
gun. a forty four, from its resting
place. According to the testimony
OF Jones, who was in the room,
Newman turned the gun toward
the northwest and placed in it a
bullet, then turning to the west he
fired at Conklin, who dropped to
the floor, dying few moments
afterwards.
4 Newman did not utter a sound
nor make any show or demonstra-
tion, not as much as even saying
a word.
In his testimony Jones stated
that he then took Newman over to
} the house of Newman's father,
about fifty yards a away,
where he placed Newman on bed.
, Shortly afterwards Newman left
the house and started out across
, the country without coat or hat.
He was not seen for some hours
later.
Attorney Lowell examined
| for some time this afternoon aud
piled the chief witness Of the
prosecution with questions. How
ever the testimony of Jones was
shaken very little from the cross
examination and it is believed that
his edvidence will have great
deal to do with determining
what the jury will do.
With the introduction of such
testimony as Jones offered, it is
now understood that the defense
will fight the case on the grounds
that Newman did not know what
he Was doing. The fact that he
was intoxicated will be one of the
driving points Of the defense in
showing that the act was not
rational. The defense has a large
number of character witnesses who
will be, introduced to show New
mans's record alb a man of sterling
qualities. -. p.
Thursday morning-Sam New
man was y acquitted. Attorneys

Likes Our Country
After Short Visit
Editor Streeter Of Linton Has Many
Nice Things to Say About Nc
Lean County

Editor Streeter of the Linton
Record was in Washburn on
Memorial Day and gave a very
interesting address to the many
visitors here on that day. The
following clipping from his paper
shows that he was favorably i'm
pressed with our country:
The editor of the Record went
to Washburn this week to take
part in the Memorial day exercises
He went to Bismarck Monday, an d
next morning left for Washburn
arriving there about half past nine
in the forenoon. The speaking
took place at IL o'clock, and the
editor got back to Bismarck in
time to see eight innings of base
ball game between Mandan and
Misunderstanding 5 to in
favor of the Capital City bunch
Hazelton's young pitcher, STRAIT on
doing good work for the town with
the German name. There was a
good sized crowd present in the
hall at Washburn to listen to the
exercises, the hall being capable
of housing between 700 and 800
) people. The program was to have
been carried out in the park, but
J rain in the early forenoon pre-
vented it. Although he came to
the slope in 1881, this was the
writer's first visit to Washburn.
The town (or rather city, for it is
! organized as city, is one of the
J most beautifully situated places in
the state, being located on high
ground which slopes toward the
Missouri river. The enterprise of
the citizens is shown by the fact
that they have municipal water
works. A tank containing many
thousands of gallons is situated on
a high ridge in the eastern part of
the town. Iron hydrants are
located on certain street corners i.
and an admirable system of fire
protection is thus assured, the
attitude of the tank giving pres.
sure that reaches buildings located
at the highest points. Water is
supplied from the Missouri river
by pumping plant. The view up
and over into Oliver county is fine,
as there is considerable timber on
the river banks. The people of
| Washburn are enterprising and
hospitable and the writer enjoyed
his visit greatly. There has been
a suficiency of rain up there and
the crops have vigorous appear
anoe and there is a good stand.
Only by taking trip north or
south during the growing season
can one appreciate the. fact that a
difference of even a hundred miles
or 60 up or down the, map
makes the seasons considerably
earlier at the southern than at the
northern end Of the line. The
| grass and grain are much further
along here than there A. large
part of Mclean county is cultivat-
able land. and the county 10 one Of
the most prosperous counties

BODY OF MISSING
MAN FOUND IN RIVER
Remains of Chris Olsen, Who Lost
His Life in the River Found in
Mill Boom

The body of Chris Olsen, who dis
appeared several weeks ago, was
found in the Anderson Middleton boom
in the Chehalis river, Friday morning
by members of the boom crew. The
body was in an excellent state of
preservation and was easily identified
by the features, also by jewelry and
keys found in the pockets.
Olsen disappeared several weeks
ago, when it was reported by friends
that he was drowned. A search was
instituted and more than week
spent in dragging the Wishkah river,
where it was supposed that he lost
his life. Olsen was fisherman, about
90 years old and unmarried He was
also a member of the Owls lodge, be-
ing one of the charter members.
Chief of Police Templeman receiv-
ed telegram Saturday from Ole Oh
sen, who resides at Renwick Iowa,
saying to bury the body and send
the bill to him. The funeral was held
yesterday from Whiteside's Under

COMMERCE COMMISSION
MAY SETTLE MATTER
Complaint of Aberdeen Men Against
Freight Rate May Be Given Air
ing Before Commission

OLYMPIA, Dec. 21.-Unless the Ore
gon-Washington Railroad & Naviga-
ton company suspends its increase in
the rate on hay from Touchet, in East
ern Washington, to Aberdeen, the pub
lie service commission will place the
case before the interstate commerce
commission, according to Commission
err Jesse S. Jones, who recently re-
ceived a complaint from the Chehalis
Produce company.
The railroad company raised the
rate on hay from 1917 cents to 22%
cents per hundred between Touchet
and Aberdeen, and after complaint
was made Mr.. Jones took up the Ques-
ton of having it restored with r. b.
Miller, traffic manager for the railway.
Mr.. Miller refended the increase by
stating that the rate on hay from
Touchet to Aberdeen was only $124
per ton per mile as against $1.3S per
ton per mile between Touchet and
Portland.
He stated, however, that the Ques-
ton would be given considerations by
the traffic department and intimated
that the request of the Chehals Pro-
duce company might be granted with
out an order from the interstate COM
merce commission.

SOME POTATOES
EIma Farmers Show What the Che
halls Valley Can Do in Way
Of Spuds

ELMA, Dec. 23.-On Monday John
Kahn who has fine farm north of
McCleary, sent down a sample of fine
potatoes that he raised on his place.
One of these potatoes, weighing three
pounds when dug, and all of them
were large. Mr. Kahn had one hill
of fourteen potatoes that weighed II
pounds and not one of the potatoes
was too small to be of use. Mr.. Kahn
has some of the very best land in the
state any place and it lies in the val
ley next to the hills. It is very pro.
ductive and from half acre Of po-
tatoes that he planted he took ia
sacks that averaged 100 pounds to the
sack. He has sold many OF them for
one and one half cents pound, and
at that rate any one can figure that
his half acre was profitable to him.
Tom Chilcote the first of the week.
brought in five potatoes that he raised
on his place across the river. The
five of them weighed eight pounds and
they were all regular in shape and
nice appearing. Mr.. Chilcotes place
is $50 feet above the river and is
shot clay land He is mighty proud
of his land and he will have to be
shown before he will believe that there
is better land in this county

TORNOW is STILL
HIDDEN IN WOODS
Deputies Camp on Woodsman's Trail
But With Little Hope of
Capture

MONTESANO, Dec. 23.-The hunt
for John Tornow wanted for the muir
der of the two Bauer boys early last
September, still goes on, but with
very little prospect of his immediate
capture.
Ever since the crime was commit
ted Sheriff Payette has had deputies
in the field or been out himself.
Sometimes traces would be found,
only to be lost again in the vast viii
derness in which Tornow seems to
be perfectly at home.
During the recent snow, traces Of
him were found in a trail leading
through the snow. The tracks were
followed to the river, where they en-
tered the water.
Two deputies are still in the field
In the fastness of the Olympics they
have built cabin and are stocked
with food and prepared to keep vigil
through the long winter months.
There is hardly doubt in the world
but that Tornow knows they are
there, and as he is one of the keenest
@oodsmen in the state, it is possible
that he is playing a waiting game.

SUPERVISORS CANNOT
WORK OWN TEAMS

MONTESANO, Dec. 23.-Prosecut-
ing Attorney William e. Campbell has
advised the board of county commits
sioners that a supervisor of a road
district cannot work his teams on the
county roads and receive pay for the
services rendered. This has been

to supervisors as to councilmen or
commissioners.
