JOHNSTON TRIAL
 OPENS MONDAY, l3
ACCUSED MAN UNABLE TO
 i, MAKE BOND, IS GIVEN EARLY HEARING.
Will Be the Third Murder Trial Held During the Present Term of Cir
 cult Court in This City.

George Johnston. charged with first degree murder, will be put on trial for his lire on Monday, January r., following a decision by Circuit Judge Gotham yesterday, when after Johnston had been unable to make 5000 bond, the court ruled that he was entitled to a hearing of the charge against him at this term of court.
 The trial will probably occupy a week, and it may take longer to try this criminal case than any ever called on the criminal docket here, because of the liklihood of the dis qualification of jurors.
 In all cases where the punishment is death, 1t is found difficult to find jurors qualified to serve. Men who are qualified in every other way to serve on a case, will answer that they are opposed to the death penal ty. and therefore are disqualified.
 If Johnston is guilty of killing Car rol Shepman, as charged by the state, it was murder in the first de- gree, and the death penalty will fol low.
 But in this case the state depends wholly on circumstantial evidence for it's verdict, and when prospective jurors are asked if they would re- turn verdict which carried with it the death penalty. under "circum- stantial" evidence there will follow many a disqualification.
 Frequently men who have no con- scientous scruples against the capi- tai punishment when questioned as irrespective jurors will answer that the case would have to be proved be- wound any doubt Where there are witnesses who will testify to the "rimo direct. such jurors often are taken, but f thev would not convict on eircumstantial evidence, where the punishment is death, they are not comDetent to serve
 Johnston was placed yesterday with the prospect Of a trial at an early date He has been in jail since he was first arrested. and while re- gently an order was made that would have given him liberty under a bond

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan. 1.-The cotton mar ket continued quiet today and fiuc- tuations were comparatively narrow with the close steady net six points higher on January, but generally un- changed to one point lower
 The market opened steady at an advance of one to four points in re- sponse to better cables than expect ed renewed covering by near month shorts and little buying of the later months by leading spot brokers. The demand was not active however while there was considerable scat tered realizing for over the week end, or pressure from Wall street sources. and shortly after the open ing prices turned easier with the active months selling three or four points under the closing figures of yesterday But January remained relatively firm, while there were re- ports of large sales by southern mills to China and rumors that east ern mills were coming back into the market for spot cotton after having shown very little interest for some time past. This tended to steady the general situation particularly as claims of a better spot demand from Memphis were accompanied by some scattered southern buying orders and the market became firmer again in the late trading with January sell ing about s points above the closing figures of last night on continued covering.

Ol @0,uuU, ne HdS Deen uildDie to make that.
 Judge Thu-ston P. Farmer is coun- sel for Jo.nston, and also has urged an early nearing of the case, while Prosecutor Witt and Deputy Whit tington have appeared equally anx- ious and willing that the ease should go to trial
 In brief the circumstances on which Johnston's charge is based are that he and Shepman, who had worked with him in the country, had been together the afternoon when Shepman was last seen. The state will charge that Shepman had some personal articles which Johnston bought and partially paid for, and that when Shepman started away Johnston followed and killed him in the woods. The state charges that the motive for the murder was prob ably small sum of money and some personal belongings.
 Johnston's defense is that he and Shepman were friends, that there was never any trouble between them, that the things Shepman left with Johnston were worthless, and that he could have had no motive for murdering the man, and that others might have had motive. Living alone as Johnston did in the country it may be difficult for him to prove a complete alibi, but a partial one will be established.

DELAY WORK ON

the project is being rapidly develop
ed and the farm soon will be perman-

yet been done by the state, not even
the laying of plans for their enter.
prise.
Several who are in a position to
know the why and wherefore Of
these things have been interviewed.
and it has come to light that tho
state probably viii not do anything
with their part of the work for two
years, but big developments are look
ed for in 1915. The reason for delay
is very good.
The last legislature failed to make
any appropriation for use by the A.
G.. looking toward establishing and
stocking a live stock experiment farm
here. That body, however, will be-
aSheu lOI dUOuL PIVV,UOV DIT LuclI lC4L
session, to be used for this purpose.
BY that time everything will be ready
for firmly establishing a permanent
state institution, which can work in
complete harmony with the federal
part of the farm.
The Northern Great Plains station
can have accumulated a supply OF
feed and will have become sufficient.
ly we'll settled to continue this sup.
ply for the states animals. It is a
part of the general agreement on the
station that they are to supply ahso,
lutely free of charge the feed neces,
sary for supplying the herds of the
state farm, which will not only make
possible the much cheaper nainten>
ance Of this latter institution but will
afford a very worthy outlet for the
products of the fields of the govern
ment farm.
The two farms will make Mandan
the seat Of the greatest institution Of
the kind in the country.

ENTERED A PRO

Judge Crawford of Dickinson has en-
tered a pro forma decision in favor
OF the state in the case of c. J. o.

cut tobacco. The merits were not
gone into in the hearing, but the de-
cision was made SO an appeal could
at once be taken on the constitution.
atty Of the measure.
Representatives of Weyman, Bru.
ton Company of New York contend
the act is broader than it's title and
can in no way cover anything but
snuff, and is unable to reach substl
tutes like fright cut" tobacco. The
attorney general has upheld he pos,
aion of Commissioner Ladd that all
substitutes are as much barred as
snuff itself. The case will be hur~
ried to the state superem court and
may later reach the U. S. supreme
court.

CROPS
NEAR PIERRE

Pierre, Aug. Awhile there is a
great deal of comment Over the coun-
try as to July weather conditions,
the government report at this station
is within a very few points of nor
nal, both as to temperature and pre-
cipitation. This means that there
] was sufficient rainfall in the central
part Of the state for July to put the
corn crop in as fine a condition as
could be asked, and the fields show
the effects of such weather condi-
tions. Travellers over the prairie
north of this city say there are a
number of fields of corn which could
be used as illustrations in any ad.
vertising pamphlet as perfect fields
Of that crop. AS ever in growth, and
well filled as to ears as could be
found in any corn growing state, and
while the no weather Of June was
hard on small grain, the farmer with
q mixed crop is getting eve on the
corr situation. The complaint as to
POTATOES going to tops and not tubers
is changing, as the potatoes arc now
setting and growing rapidly. Fodder
crops, alfalfa. sugar cane and wild
hay we're never better in this part
of the state, and there is no great.

these men are hoboes. Some are look

camp has been started, west of the
Plpestem river, near the N. P. tracks
Just outside the city limits. There
Is also a good sized contingent along
the Midland railroad southeast Of the
city. A considerable loss of potatoes
was noticed in Roedel's potato field
on the Dunston place. and the owner
complained to the City police about It.

at least plenty OF men can be had for

the season of 1912.

FREIGHT RATES ONE
Third Higher HERE

Fargo, N. D., Aug. Freight rates
are about one-third higher in North
Dakota than in South Dakota, accord
ing to F.O. Gibbs, transportation e.
pert for the Fargo Commercial clua.
he has also shown how excessive
they are as compared to the new
rates in Minnesota. one of the most
striking illustrations being 40 cents
per ton difference in the rate on coal
from the head of the lakes and the
Twin Cities to Moorhead and Fargo,
on opposite sides Of the river.
The state railway commission will
meet in Fargo next Tuesday to hear
a presentation of. the case by the
club. The figures will no doubt also
be sent to the interstate commerce
commission and an effort be made to
secure a hearing before that body at
an early date.
