John w. Moore opened the argument
for the defense at 9:07 o'clock He
began quietly and dispasslonately,
speaking in soothing, cajoling tones.
He said he felt he had done his duty as
a lawyer In this case.
This is the first case in all my ex-
perience." he said, where it was nee
essary on the part Of the defense con-
tinuously to struggle to force the state
not to cover up evidence"
He walked up and down slowly In
front of the jury box, clapping his
hands. extending his arms at full
length. placing his hands on his hips
and looking solemnly into the faces Of
the jurors
They have tried to convict this poor
unfortunate woman, not by evidence
not by circumstances, but by concealng

Judge Rules on
The Letters.

Judge Roam charged the jury that
if they believed these letters were writ
ten by Eugene Grace or at his in
stance and were mailed by him to his
agent, with view of holding a com
munication with his wife, they We're
privileged and not evidence, and must
not be considered in making up the
verdict
He charged that if the jury believed
the letters We're not written by Eugene
Grace. and were not intended to be a
real communication between husband
and Wife they could be admitted as
evidence in making up the verdict
He ruled that if the jury believed
that the shooting occurred in the fight
between Grace and Mrs. Grace. as de-
fense holds, that it made no difference
who held the pistol and the defendant
should be acquitted
He charged that the jury must be
convinced of guilt beyond "reasona-
Bile doubt" before 1t could return a yer
dict of guilty

the jury before it began balloting.

The judge had delivered his
charge to the jury just before 2

announced that he would return
to the bench at $3.50 o'clock and
be ready to receive the verdict at
any time after that The jury had
returned from the hotel and filed
into the private room Tnere they
elected one of their number as
foreman and began their delibera-
items.
Judge Roans charge was the ordi-
nary one, varying from the stereo-
, typed form only as the peculiar circum-
stances of the case required. Perhaps
the most important part Of his ruling
was that affecting the letters said to
have constituted Mrs. Grace's carefully

Named an Outsider

Thomas B. Murphy, formerly of
Kenmare, and a brother of Francis
Murphy, has been named for the vacan-
cy in the Williston land office caused by
the death of Samuel Adams. Mr..
Murphy had the endorsement of Sena-
tor McCumber while Senator Gronna
recommended w. B. Overson, an at
torney of Williston. It is generally be-
lieved that the appointment Of Mr..
Murphy will be confirmed by the Senate.
The appointment is somewhat of a
surprise as Mr.. Murphy can hardly be
classed as a resident of North Dakota,
having most of his interests in Min
neapolis.
It has aroused considerable opposition
in certain quarters and has no doubt
added another nail to McCumbers coffin
which is expected to be finished in two
years.-Kenmare Journal.

Whereas it is deemed for the best in

Plaza line westerly to the boundary
line between North Dakota and Mont
ana, a distance of about ninety miles;
Now Therefore
Resolves, That this company build
such extension of its railway and that
the President and Chief Engineer Of
of this company cause said extension
of said railway to be located as soon as
practicable, beginning at Plaza, Mon
trail county, North Dakota; thence
westerly and southwesterly across the
counties of Mountrail and Mckenzie,
in said state of North Dakota, to \
point on said boundry line between
said state and the state of Montana
within thirty miles of the crossing
thereof by the Missouri river, which
point, owing to engineering difficulties
cannot be more definitely located; Pro-
vided however, when.s definitely located
crosses the Yellowstone river before
reaching said bounday line the eastern
bank of said river shall be held and
considered the western terminus Of
said extension.
The resolution goes on to say that
work shall begin as soon as practicable

Dairy Queen Of the West

College Belle Wayne, No. 98497, own
ed by the South Dakota state college at
Brookings, a five-year-old Holstein
COW, has recently completed her 30-day
official test. During that period she
produced 1881 pounds of milk contain
ing 1864 pounds of butter fat. The
average test was 3.345b fat. This re-
cord is beaten by only one cow in the
world, Pontiac Lady Komdyke, No.
9270o. College Belle Wayne is a typical
westerner, bred and raised at the South
Dakota state college. She is large,
wide and of deep frame, Of wonderful
quality, capacity and strength, and an
excellent Holstein type.
During the official test, she was fed
and MIXED four times day. Her
daily ration was ground corn four lbs,
ground oats with ] wheat eight pounds,
old process oil meal four pounds and
bran eight pounds. In addition she ate
IL pounds of beets, 40 pounds Of corn,
silage and alfalfa hay. She had free
access to salt and fresh water. The
supply of clover hay gave out and green
alfalfa hay was substituted. When
this change was made, she bloated and
fell in the milk flow from 125 pounds to
81 pounds per day. But for this the Of
fetal record would have been higher.
The beets were sliced and mixed with
grain. The beet supply also fell short,
and the yield was noticeably lower there
after.

to and who desire to make proof under

Those entrymen who are not in posi-
tion to make proof under the new law,
or who, for any reason, desire to make
proof under the old five year law should
pay particular attention to this election
feature.
Unless such election to make proof
under the law which the entry was
made to file in local land Office on or be-
fore October 4. 1912, it will be presumed
that you have elected to complete your
entry under the .'new" three year law,

ance with the new law both as to resi-
dence and cultivation.
In considering whether you desire to
elect to make proof under the law un-
der which your entry was made under
the three year law the requirement of
the "new" law should be considered.
First: Can you make the required
showing as to cultivation? j. e., one
sixteenth of the area cultivated for one
year and at least one eighth for the
next year and each year thereafter un-
til proof.
Second: Can you get your final citi-
zenship papers before your entry is five
years old?
Third: Can you make proof before
your entry is five years old? If not,
better elect to make proof under the
old law, as under the new law when
your entry is five years old its life has
expired, and proof submitted after that
time would have to be submitted to the
Board of Equitable Adjudication for
confirmation.
Remember, if you desire to make
proof under the law under which your

local land Office by registered letter.

1000 bushels Of oats. The piece averag-
ed 20 bushels to the acre, of clean

some bumper yields to be reported for
his farm.

factory has turned out approximately
twenty-nine million pounds Of binder

At conservative estimate the farm
ers of North Dakota use twenty million
pounds of twine annually. Judging
from this years experience it is self
evident that twine prices would have
been at least cents per pound higher
If it were not for State competition;
consequently it is very conservative
