The first witness yesterday was
irene H~augeberg. the. 17-year-old
daughter Of Merchant Haugeberg.
Their home is across. the street facing
a point between the two houses. AT
the time she heard the explosion she
was standing beside the piano in the
front room Of her home, while Flora
harmon was seated at the piano Civ
ing her a music lesson. Miss Halge-
berg said Miss Harmon called her at
tention to the report and she was of
the impression that Walfred Anderson
was again blasting holes to plant
trees. She looked across the street,
but from her view she could not see
LFunk'se-back shed door, neither did
she see anyone about Anderson's
premises.
Mrs. Axel Nelson, wife OF a mer-

the street from the Anderson premises.

sion that she was seated at her sew

ing Anderson's. That the storm win

not running the sewing machine, but
was sewing by hand. She said she

derson was blasting ground to, plant
trees. The sound came towards her
and sounded as though 1t was farther
away than Anderson's garage, and
as though 1t must have come from the
other side of his house. She glanced
up at the time, but did not look out.
When she testified to Mr.. Bangs as to
and when she said it was an "Old
Homestead" Anderson, the accused,
laughed.
Johanna Schulz, age is, said that
with May Nelson, she was going home
from the train which had been late
that night. She said she and her
companion were on the sidewalk at
a point that gave her a view between
the Funk and Anderson houses. She
had been attracted by a loud report
that seemed to her-to come from be-
tween the two houses. She stopped
and looked only for a second. She
did not go oVe to F>unk's place, but
she told Attorney Bangs that she
knew Anderson had previously blasted
ground to plant trees, and thought
that was what had caused that loud
report. She is not familiar with rifle
shots or the sound of a gasoline enc
CINE when it exhausts. She did de-
scribe this explosion as making a loud
dull noise.
May Nelson, age Is, and daughter of
Mrs. Axel Nelson, and companion of
the Schulz girl on the evening Funk
was shot. testified similar to the
Schulz girl. She said the loud report
startled her. She stopped for a sec
ond and looked. and then walked on.
She also knew that Anderson had been
in the habit of dynamiting for the
purpose of planting trees.
Frank johnson. a laborer. who had
worked a good deal for Walfred An
derson, fixing and improving the
premises about the Anderson home,
Testified that he had been leveIing the
yard near the garage on the day of
the shooting when Funk was killed.
He said that about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon that Mr.. Callahan and an
other gentleman had been ait the gar
age. and went away. He remembered
Anderson coming home alone about
5 o'clock in the afternoon. and that
he entered his own house through the
kitchen door. Johnson said he had
seen no n else about the Anderson
premises before he left at about &
Eo'elock that evening, except two h
three ladies he had seen earlier in The
afternoon pass down the sidewalk. He
said he did not know who had taken
off storm windows on the south side
LOT Anderson's house this spring, but

himself.
The accused wore q change 81
clothes when he appeared In court
YESTERDAY and seemed to maintain the
same Indifferent composure that has
been usual for him during the trial
SO far this week. He again sat be
side his wife this morning and talked
with her, and when the court took Its
forenoon recess, the whole Anderson
family, as did nearly everyone else III
the court room, read the account ol
the trial from The Bismarck Dails
Tribune. The newspaper accounts arr
Iof intense interest here.
