Mckenzie County Man Convicted for
Second Time Of Horse Stealing.

Williston. Melvin H. Howe, a
prominent Mckenzie county farmer.
was convicted in the district court of
Williams county on the charge of
horse stealing. He will make mo.
ton for another new trial.
The verdict is exceptionally inter.
esting in view of the fact that the
verdict Of guilty, returned by the first
jury, was contrary to the judges in
structions and was by him set aside,
the supreme court affirming his view
of the situation, and ordering a sec,
ond trial. Judge Leighton presided
at the first trial with Judge Fisk pre-.
siding over the present trial Just end.

Howe was charged by Andrew Berg
with having stolen horse from him,
the animal being located in the hands
of another party. A mass of evidence
was introduced to show the transac,
tions through which the horse had
passed before finally reaching the
holder. One Of the states most i'm,

Bismarck. - A decision of the SUI

DYING OF RABIES
Coyotes Infected and Many Of Them
H.. Are 0yinu Away,

Coyotes Infected and Many Of Them
Are Dying Away.
Sheldon.-That an epidemic of ra-
bfes is raging among the coyotes of
Helendale and Coburn townships is
the report brought in by farmers in
that vicinity. They state that a
number Of wolves have been found
dead on the prairie and others have
been seen acting strangely SINH
lar to the manner of mad dogs. The
origin Of the epidemic Of hydrophobia
dates back to last summer when sew
eral dogs became afflicted. The dis
ease was conveyed by them to stock in
that vicinity and several head have
died or been killed on account Of the
affliction. 1t is thought that the coy
otes became inoculated, either through
being bitten by one Of the mad dogs
or from eating the carcasses of stock
that had been affected with the dis
ease. 1t is feared that the stricken
coyotes will spread the disease still
further. and extra precautions are be.
ing taken by the farmers of that To-
cality to guard their stock and dogs.

DENOUNCES
BRITISHERS
Calls Them Poor Losers in
the Past Olympic
Games
JACOBS SCOLDS WRITER'S
CRITICISING AMERICANS
Says England Must Adopt Amer
lean Training Methods
to Win

LONDON, Dec. 6.-P. ]. Jacobs, for
mer president of the Cambridge Ath-
letic club, in an article published to
day came strongly to the defense OF
the American contenders In last sum-
mer's games at Stockholm and scath-
ingly denounced the British sporting
writer's who have been criticising,
american training methods"
For months he said, our papers
have been full of statementssthat the
American runners were guilty Of every
foul In the calendar. For months they
have been urging that this noble ma
tion OF sportsmen must retire from q
competition which they cannot win
without straining the pure, unsullied
virginity OF their amateurism. The
members Of the team have not been
saying these things because they
know they are untrue and unjust. But,
against their will and their conviction,
they are damned as poor losers by
these fulminations.
The argument Is this: No team
can win the Olympic games without
training similar to that INDUCED in
by the Americans, such training Is
professional In nature and In spirit
1t reduces the games to the level OF
commercial enterprise. we cannot un-
dertake II without regarding what has
always been, for us, a spIendidly
rough and ready sport into business
which Is inconsistent with our high
ideals OF amateurism.
"The American athlete specializes
on one or two events; before any race
OF Importance he devotes most OF his
energies and time to his training He
has coach who Is a professional. He
has behind him an organization man
aged by paid organizers.
THAT is the American method,
every single feature of which can be
found in an advanced stage OF perfec-
tion In the organization OF English
rowing, English football or English
cricket. Who specializes more than
the English oarsmen? England will
win the Olympic games when she is
prepared to apply American meth
ods.'"
