dynamite. A disagreement in the
case of Frederick e. Atteaux was re-
ported. Dennis J. Collins, who turned
states evidence was found guilty on
two counts ana not guilty on other
four of the indictments.
The case, one of the most sensational
that has ever grown from a dispute
between capital and labor, was given
to the jury at noon yesterday. The
foreman reported at 10 O'clock to-
day. The court ordered the bail for
Atteaux be renewed pending a dis
position of the case.
u Woods counsel asked the court to
direct an investigation of the pub

been made to influence Morris Shu-
man, juror. Before the court made
the charge yesterday, Shuman was
questioned regarding the statement
which he is said to have made to the

SILVER CUP
!. TO Be GIVEN
At THE FAIR
Northern Pacific Makes Offer
Of $50 Prize
VIII Be Given for Best Five
Shoats Shown
In Line With Effsrt to Raise
More Stock

The Northern Pacific Railway Co.
has through its general passenger
agent, A. M. CleIand offered a prize
of a $50 silver cup for the best five
shoats that are offered for exhibition
at the Interstate fair, which will be
held July 1 to July inclusively.
The Northern Pacific is taking a
great deal of interest in the raising of
livestock in the state, as it is in the
northwest. The letter that accom-
panied the offer was addressed to w.
L. Van Horn, secretary of the fair
association and is as follows:
Dear Sir: take pleasure in ad-
vising you that the Northern Pacific
Railway Co. will offer at the Inter
state fair July IA a $50 prize cup for
the best five shoats.
"The silver cup is to be competed
for each year and to become the
permanent property of the persons
winning it three times. The winners
name will be engraved upon the cup
each year. -,..'.. a.. ...>g
"We willbevery glad to have this prize
enumerated In your premium list and
/ am writing you at this time to ask
If you will not please so arrange in
the preparation of your list.
"A. M. Cleland, general passenger
agent"
Secretary Van Horn at once wrote
to Mr.. Cleland to the effect that the
premium list. has already been printed
and that these have been sent out
into the northwest, but that he would
take pleasure In giving the item the
publicity that it deserves over the
country and it is believed that tho
offer Of Mr.. Cleland and the N. P. will
stand.
There seems to be great effort on
the part of the railroad company as
we'll as the North Dakota Better
Farming association to increase the
raising of stock Of all kinds in North
Dakota and it is hoped that the offer
Of the railroad company will stand.
: The, North Dakota Better Farming
association contest will not close un-
til late in the fall and there will he
several. cash prizes. In this contest
those who enter are confined to boys
who are actually on the farm and al
ready 1t Is assuming great proper
tions.
