TRACY R. 8Au6S
Arrested At FORKS
Attempted TO Bvlbs Csrtaln Jurors In
Mclean Coepsr Murder Trial

Grand Forks, N. d., March
14.-There was a profound SEN
sation in this city when Tracy
X. Bangs was arrested here to-
day on the charge of having
been implicated in an attempt
to bribe certain jurors in the
Mclean Cooper murder case,
brought here from Hillsboro
for trial two years ago last fall.
The hearing was set for
March ~.
In addition to Mr.. Bangs,
Cooper's father, Harry L.
Cooper, prominent farmer
near Hillsboro, was arrested.
Both he and Mr.. Bangs i'm
mediately furnished bonds in
the sum of $4,000 each, and
have been given their liberty.
Two of the jurors in the case,
also implicated in the bribery
charge, A. G. Stevens of Grand
Forks and J. G. Mahon of Ink
ster, have also been arrested.
Mahor was able to furnish
bail, but up to late last night
Stevens was still in the custody
of the sheriff.
The complaint was made by
Andy Sullivan, son of Captain
John Sullivan of the local po-
lice force, who wac a bailiff.
He is also charged with being
implicated, and while he was
also arrested in connection
with the affair. he was not re.
quired to furnish bail.
Governor Hanna when peti-
toned for the arrest of Mclean
Cooper, the defendant in the
murder case two years ago, at
which time the bribery is
charged to have been commit
ed, refused to grant the papers
till he had knowledge of the
facts in the matter, and in
consequence hearing will be
held before the governor at
Bismarck, Monday, at which
(time States Attorney Burtness
will represent the state. while
the interests of Mr.. Bangs and
others charged will be repres-
ented by George A. Bangs and
associates of the firm.
Some three years ago young
Mclean Cooper was arrested
for having killed a hired man
on his fathers farm near Hills
boro, after a quarrel. Cooper's g
father was absent for the win
ter and a dispute arose as to
who had charge of the affairs
of the farm. Feeling ran so
high in Trail county that the
defendant was placed in the
county Jail at Grand Forks,
and the case was transferred
for trial here from Hillsboro.
Tracy Bangs was the leading
attorney for the defendant, who
secured an acquittal, and after
the trial young Cooper moved
to the state of Washington,
where he is at present.

SUMMER WEATHER
in SOUTH DAKOTA

Deadwood, Jan. 19.--With the most
remarkable winter that has eyer been
seen In the Black Hills, residents of
this section are reading stories of
bliZ ards and below zero weather
through the east and central states
with much complasance. Not a single
CAV this winter has the thermometer
fallen below the zero mark, although
on December 2S, during the night it
registered below for one hour. The
average temperature for December
here was 35 degrees above and for
January thus far it has been even
higher and on two days the maximum
registered SO and SO respectively. while
the lowest recorded this month has
been II above on January II. There
has also been but little snowfall, two
and quarter inches in December
and two and half in January.
SO mild has the weather been here
this month that the pussy willow trees
along the creek beds have budded ont,
the grass has turned green and some
hardy flowers are blooming. All man.
ner of outdoor games and exercises
are being INDUCED in by the residents,
even the boys shooting marbles and
playing quoits three months earlier
than usual. On the hillsides that are
usually at this period covered with
from two to six inches of snow and
ice, even crocus buds are starting up
and not the slightest chance for sleigh
ing has been presented during tho en-
tire winter and autos have been al
most as plentiful a" in summer.
The mild winter has greatly aided
the mining industry that is usually
retarded during December and jan
uary by snow blockades for a short
period or severe cold snaps and the
only objection TO the mildness of the
winter comes from merchants who
have been unable to unload their win
ter clothing stocks, but the increased
business activity in other lines often
affected, have more than Offset this,
outdoor work especially having been
maintained steadily all winter.
