Lightning Sets
Fire to Elevator

Mandan, N. D., June 4.-On Satur-
day morning the huge elevator belong.
ing to the Haight Lumber Company
was struck by lightning which set a
fire to the building and the fire alarm
was turned in but upon investigation
there could not be any fire discovered,
and little was thought of the matter
until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon
when huge flames shot out of the top
of the elevator
The fire department made very
quick work in getting to the fire but
it was impossible to quench the flames
owing to the extreme height of the
building and the start the fire had.
The N. P. fire car was secured but
little could be done. There was not
great deal of grain in the elevator
and the loss from that source is not
so great but the building itself was
a total loss.

Local Man Recommends
Chancellor Jordan

l have just returned from Fargo
where l heard David Starr Jordan
give the baccalaureate address at the
A. c. Armory. The subject Of the adj
dress was "The Fight Against War;
and it was listened to by 1900 people.
Many could not get seats. 1t was a
great Grafton delivered in the simple
language and quiet manner which
marks the utterances of really great
men. ..s~ a.-
Chancellor Jordan is a king among
men, not only in intellect, but in sta
ture and voice. He looked to be over
six feet tall and his voice is rich and
resonant, the words flowing from his
lips easily and naturally; in this re-
spect he greatly resembles w. J.
Bryan. He appeared to be carrying on
conversation with friend instead Of
addressing a large audience.
After listening to him, I am more
than ever convinced that our course
this year has lost nothing by substi-
tuting David Starr Jordan for S.
Parkes Cadman. DR.. Jordan will be

Identify Man Who
Lost Life by Fire

Grand Forks, N. d., May 31.-The
man who was burned to death with
O. J. Mulligan of Cashel on April o.,
and who left Grand Forks in company
with him the evening that they were
cremated in Mulligan's home, has
been identified as John Danielson.
Danielson came to the United States
from Norway about eighteen months
ago. He was employed for some time
near Drayton, this state, leaving there
day or two before the fire and COM
ing to Grand Forks. He left some
possessions for which he said he
would send.
Since he disappeared no informa--
ton has been received from him, and
recently his former employer came to
the conclusion that he might have
been the Cashel fire victim, and open
ed an investigation.
The description of Danielson tallies
in almost every detail with that Of
the man who met death With Multi
gan. .....
To make the Identification mora
complete and positive, the officials Of
Falsh county have sent photograph
to George Richards of st. Paul a
Northern Pacific auditor, who was on
the train the evening that Danielson
and Mulligan went from Grand Forks
to Grafton. He remembers the man
quite well, and it is expected that he
will make the Identification positive.
Danielson, at the time he left Dray-
ton, wore green necktie, gray sweat
er and apron overalls.
Danielson and Mulligan went to the
Mulligan home, the place being found
in ashes the next morning. the bodies
Of both men being found In the ruins.

liYeryman found
Dead in the ndymOW

Finley, N. D., June 3.-Lars H. Mart
inson, the liverman, was found dead
in the hay NOW Of the livery barn.
His son Louis had gone into the NOW
to throw down some hay and came
near sticking the pitchfork into the
body of his father. Mr.. Martinson had
disappeared the evening before, and
the family could find no trace of him,
and they were wondering where he
had gone. The coroner, DR.. Goodheart
was Immediately notified and took
charge of the body. Drs. Goodheart
and Heimark conducted an autopsy
which revealed the fact that the man
had taken a large dose of carbolic
acid, also that he must have been
temporarily insane when he done So,
as quite large quantity Of water was
found on his brain, which would indi-
cate that the man had been suffering.
1t had been noticed by a few that he
had not been quite right for several
days previous. He had been drinking
considerably lately and undoubtedly
that contributed somewhat to the
mental state he must have been in.
He was born in Wisconsin and was
Sc years of age, and leaves wife and
seven children, three having died. He
came to Golden Lake township, Steele
county, about twenty-seven years ago.
where he farmed until about year
ago, when he bought livery business
in Finley and moved into town.

truth of it until this libel suit began,
and believed the assertion to be cor.
rect until the trial opened"
Leaving the witness stand and re.
turning to the seat with his attorneys,
Newett looked in the direction Of the
Colonel, as though expecting some
word directly from him. But just then
Roosevelt was whispering to his coun.
sci, who announced that the ex-presi-
dent would like to make a statement,
to which Judge Flanagan readily con-
scented.
AS he took the witness stand, from
which he had SO recently, given a
frank, open history of his life, he told
briefly of his purpose in beginning this
libel suit:
II wished once and for all during
my lifetime, to deal with those SLAM
ders so that never again would it be
possible for any man in good faith to
repeat them
Not the least interesting or i'm.
portant feature of Colonel Roosevelts
complete vindication was the state
ment of Judge Flanagan. Speaking
of the plaintiff, the judge said:
He has certainly convinced the
court, not only that he was never
drunk, but also that he now is and
always has been a temperate and alb
stemious man."
At the same time the judge held
that Newett, in making the offensive
publication, had not been actuated by
ill-wiu toward the plaintiff, and that
he had acted in good faith.
When the jury had reported the YER
dict as directed by the court, the court
adjourned, and the colonel stepped
forward and shook hands with each
juror.
Il thank you gentlemen, each one
of you," said the colonel. 1T is splen-
did-just perfectly splendid"
The scene in the little court room,
where one of the most unique trials in
world history was in progress, never
for one moment during the "a hours
and As minutes of actual time con-
sumed by the trial, lost that dramatic
interest and intense concern which 81.

The climactic ending of this case,
which has been of worldwide inter-
est, came when Judge Flanagan in
structed the jury to render verdict
for the plaintiff, which they did with
out leaving their seats.
At $3.50 this evening, less than two
hours after the conclusion of the trial
the Colonel and his party of friends
who came here to testify in his be-
half, left for Chicago and the East;
and this Michigan mining town real
lied that it's brief hour of fame was
ended.
The climax of the case came with
all the startling interest of the con-
clusion OF drama. When the after
noon session of court began, the air
was electrified with expectancy.
Rumors were flying thick and fast that
the suit would be suddenly terminated.
But counsel remained uncommunica.
tive when approached by eager Ques'
TONERS, and when Attorney Van Ben
schoten for the plaintiff, resumed the
reading Of dispositions, much of the
excitement subsidized as the case ap-
peared to have returned to its routine
course.
But it was noted by those spectators
and auditors of passing events that
the attorney skipped certain portions
of the dispositions and even ignored
the testimony of certain witnesses
who had made dispositions.
The next move Was sudden. At
torney James H. Pound of plaintiffs
counsel, arose and announced in a
matter-of-fact manner:
1.-THE plaintiff rests!"
Then excitement, though subdued by
the court atmosphere, again rose to a
high pitch. Every eye was turned
toward the table where sat Editor
Newett, the defendant, and his at
torneys, Horace Andrews and William
Belden.
1.-THE defense will call Mr.. Newett,"
announced Attorney Belden, and the
ruddy-cheeked man whose color could
not disguise the fact that he is suf-
fering from serious illness, took the
witness chair.
When the defendant began reading
his statement, Colonel Roosevelt be-
trayed excitement for the first time
during the trial. His rigid jaws could
not hide his feeling. Then his char
acteristic smile overspread his fea-
lures when Editor Newett said:
1T is fair to the plaintiff to state
that l have been unable to find in any
section Of the country any individual
witness who is willing to state that
he has personally seen Roosevelt drink
to excess"
The colonel actually broke into a
grin, when Editor Newett said;
II am forced to the conclusion
that l was mistaken"
And thus, in second, came the
authors retraction of a libel, which
was viciously spread the country over
during the campaign Of last fall, and
was used with damaging effect upon
credulous people by the enemies of
Colonel Roosevelt and the Progressive
party.
II published the libel in good faith
the witness said, believing, in fact,
that it was true and proper informa-
ton for the public which was being
asked to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt for
president. ! never questioned the

The trial of the case has been pro-

array of legal talent on both sides.
Colonel Roosevelt having waived
damages, after the defendant editor

listened to with intense interest by
court and spectators, the jury award
ed the Colonel nominal damages of
six cents, as provided for in such
cases by the Michigan law.
Each party to the suit must pay his
