DIDN'T Want TO
Send AMUNDSON
TO PENITENTIARY

MInot, n. D., Dec. 2G.-"I don't want
to send Amundson to the penitentiary
now. 1t would not do anybody any
good"
Dudley Nash, former states attor-
ney, says that this statement was
made to him by Nellie Abrahamson,
complaining witness in the Amundson
Gently which ended with the dismiss
sal of the case of Judge Fisk after
the girl had refused to testify.
Mr.. Nash says that Miss Abraham
sons refusal to testify in the case
came as a complete surprise to him.
He had asked her several questions
in the examination and when ne came
to the question of her relations with
Amundson she refused to answer say
ing that 1t might tend to incriminate
her"
Mr.. Nash says that he then took
the girl out of the courtroom for a
conferences. He assured her, he says
that there was nothing in the Ques-
ton which would inCriminate her and
she finally agreed to continue her
testimony, making at the same time,
however, the statement quoted above.
on the return to the courtroom,
however, I. J. Palda, Mr.. Amund-
sons attorney, asked the court to in
struct the girl fully as to her privi-
legeS and also as to what statements
would inCriminate her.
This was done and the girl imme-
diately asked Judge Fisk whether or
not a statement relative. to an illegal
operation performed in Minneapolis
would be discriminating. She was in
formed that it would be.
Thereupon the girl renewed her re-
fusal to testify further, and the close
was brought to a conclusion.
The version given by J. J.. Coyle,
states attorney and associated with
Mr.. Nash in the prosecution of
Amundson varies in some particulars
from that of MI. Nash.
Mr.. Coyle says that the refusal of
the girl to answer the question in
regard to her relations with Amund-
son was a complete surprise to him
as well as to anyone else.
He C~orroborates Mr.. Nash's YER
sion of what happened in the court
room, but says that after the trial he
asked Miss Abrahamson as to the ca
son for her refusal to testify.
According to Mr.. Coyle the girl
then relied that if she had testified
her testimony would not have been
the same as that which she gave in
the first trial Of the case at Crosby.
This apparently is in direct contra
diction to the statement that Mr..
Nash says that n made TO him that
her original story vas true.
Both Mr.. Coyle and Mr.. Nash say
that Nels A~brahamson, the girls
father, appeared to be more astonish-
ed than anyone else at his daughters
unexpected change of front. Abra-
hanson, it appears, had brought a
$4,000 damage suit against Mr..
Amundson, on the ground Of the al
legged seduction of his daughter.
Both attorneys agreed that the case
was now finally settled and that there
was no possibility Of it being re-
opened.

IS Singing RUDE
And HIS PRAISE

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 26,-Baseball men
attending the National league meet
ing last week, some OF them not Ieav-
ing for home until today, extracted no
small amount of. amusement from the
interviews given out in western cities
by Pitcher RUDE Marquard, or his press
agent. The n vas a long one about
Marquard having Joined h ranks Of
the holdouts and that unless the New
York club came across with a contract
calling for a salary for the Rube of
something like $4,000, hat port-pad-
Ter would continue his stage career,
and go way out to the Pacific coast, in
stead of reporting to McGraw in the
gladstone springtime. -
Now, the fact of the matter is, Mar
guard has already attached his sigma
ture to a contract with the New York,
club for next season and the season
of 1914 as we'll.
Last winter the RUDE, after a deal
of talk and after being a holdout for
three or -four days, c~apitulated, called
at the office OF, the New York club and
signed a three-year contract calling
for $500 a year. Is 1t any wonder
McGraw, in an interview in P~ittsburg,
said he was not worrying about his
famous s~outhpaw?

due to the fact that that section is
quite sparcely settled.
A farmer named Case, father of
Atty. e. D. Case, of Sanger, living in
the neighborhood of Butte, was seen
fighting the fire, but nothing has been
learned of him since. Grave fears for
his safety are entertained and search
ing parties are now securing the burn
ed district for him.
Smith brothers had four head Of
cattle burned to death and twelve 9TH
ers so badly burned that it was neces-
sary to shoot them.
Tom Hall, secretary of state-elect,
who has a ranch in that vicinity, lost
all his hay, which consisted of many
tons. Digby brothers lost about forty
tons; Pete Miller, twenty-five tons. Jim
Hayes, Smith brothers, Jess Hotchkiss
and many others losing various
amounts Of hay. A great many cows
and young stock were burned to death.

HORSES Dying

many horses owned by farmers liv~
ing a short distance below the
boundary line between North and
South Dakota, are reported to be dy-

ward off the mysterious disease that
has killed off so many thousands of
horses in Kansas, Nebraska and
neighboring states during the last few
months. 4
1t is reported that horses that have
died were vaccinated by a young man,
who, when he realized that his neigh
bors were willing and anxious to
have their horses Vaccinated, came to
Ashley, purchased about $40 worth
of blackleg vaccine, and then started
using it on the n~eighbors' horses.
Many of the horses thus treated have
already died and others are In very
bad shape.
