Henry Hoesner, from the Rosebud
county jail at Forsythe, and hanged
him to tree on the main street Of
the town in an expression of public

lonely ranch house Tuesday evening.
1t was an orderly mob, but deter

There had been some talk of lynch

win soon be before Judge Pollock may
mean the ending of the battle.
The arguments for the attorneys
took up the entire forenoon and at
noon court was adjourned until
o'clock to give Judge Pollock time to
transact some court business from
Hillsboro.
This morning motion was amended
to dismiss the case by withdrawing
paragraphs one and two, and the
amended motion reads as follows:
The plaintiff having rested his case
the defendant moves that the court
make an order at this time dismissing
the plaintiffs action upon the follow
ing grounds:
Because, it apr ears affirmatively up
on the evidence that the returns from
the First ward must be excluded from
consideration bS the court:
Because, the same are unintelligible
and that upon excluding same the de-
fendant majority cannot on any theory
be overcome.
Should Pollock decide in favor Of
throwing out the First ward it would
end the contest.

the effect of Mr.. Sundays work at
Austin, especially the after effects--it
made Austin one of the best towns in
Minnesota to live.
Mr.. Sunday said in part:

Nearly 5000 people of Fargo and
Moorhead learned from Rev. w. A.
Sunday last night, the definition, in
the plainest OF terms, the word back
slider and they heard, too, that indi-
vidual man or woman, put to the
severest of tests. Mr.. Sunday seemed
TO be rather hard on the men-he
plainly disclosed the fact that he
hated backsliders, especially men
backsliders. Last night Mr.. Sunday
brought into play more than ever his
inexhaustible fund Of expressive ad-
jectiyes. He is wonderful in the
rapidity OF his articulation when he
gets to the point of wanting to force
striking passage upon his hearers.
Mr.. Sunday read for his text, Jer.
ii. 8: Thine own wickedness shall
correct thee and thy back-slidings
shall reprove thee; know therefore
bitter, that thou hast forsaken the
Lord. thy. God and that My fear is
not in thee, saith the Lord God of
hosts. .. ..- ......
He branded "backslidings" as one
or the worst of sins and added that
he was astounded at the slight con-
Germ people gave to the subject. That
God hated backsliding was shown be-
cause the Almighty used the strong
est vocabulary in the expression of
His indignation of 1t. or one class of
backsliders, men or women, Mr.. Sun
day seemed to have no use for were
"the careless backsliders." He urged
his hearers to carefully read the
Pentateuch, or the first FIVE books of
the Bible and If the reader did not
lose all patience with the continually
grumbling Jews he would be surpris-

ABBOTT TO REMAIN
HEAD OF OFFICE
Acting Commissioner Of Indian At
fairs May Be Named Successor
to Valentine.

It was learned yesterday that Frederick
II. Abbott Of Nebraska, will remain as
Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs
until the close OF the present administra-
ton. This is not to say that Mr.. Abbott
may not be appointed Commissioner after
President Taft's return from Panama.
missioner of Indian Affairs for about
three years. and he has been Acting Com
sicner since the resignation of Mr.. VAL
entine three months ago.
Mr.. Abbott has taken a most important
step to liberalize the proper disposition
of individual Indian moneys and to ex-
tend the leasing privilege to competent
Indians.
Mr.. Abbott is entitled to great credit for
the agricultural development of the In
dian and giving him a long advance TO
Industrial independence. He is slowing up
in the policy Of Individual allotments to
Indians, and instead Of this the giving to
the Indians from their own funds the
means of improving their lands SO as to
make self-support possible. His order
on the liquor question is the most adj
vanced plan ever taken for enforcing
prohibition in tn Indian country.
Mr.. Abbott is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Ohio, and was a regent of the
University of Nebraska for many years.
He taught school, was superintendent OF
the public schools of Boone County,
Nebr, and later engaged in newspaper
work. He has always been a fighter for
decency in politics, and has stamped his
individuality strongly upon the people or
bis State.
