Thrive in Straw

Egeland, N. D., March Ward
Skeen, a young farmer living near
this place, reports that he found two
live and very chirpy medowlarks
at straw stack while hauling straw
Tuesday.
The larks have evidently been here
all winter, and do not seem to be any
the worse for their experience of
wintering in the north near the Cana
dian boundry, according to Mr.. Skeen.

GUNNER CONVICTED OF FARGO
MURDER BROWN IS ARRESTED

er's jury, withheld until after the pre-
liminary examination, held GUNNER
responsible.
At the time Coroner E. F. Moore
said the verdict which was returned
July 8, after GUNNER was bound over
for trial, had been previously reached
but it was thought advisable not to
make it known until after the hear
ing. Gummer's preliminary hearing
which, according to officials, was to
prove that there was probable cause
to believe he had committed the muir
der, ended July 2 without the hotel
clerk taking the stand.
At the hearing states Attorney
Green introduced statement which
he alleged GUNNER made to him ad-
hitting that he had visited the girls
room about $50 on the morning of
June z, half hour before anyone
else knew of the crime. GUNNER said
that Miss Wick had left a call for 6
o'clock and that he made his way
into her room with a pass key only
after he had failed to receive a re-
spouse to repeated telephone calls.
Shocked and afraid that he might be
accused of the crime if he made
known his discovery, GUNNER said
ne went back to his desk in the hotel
lobby and after waiting Is minutes
informed Fred Lawrence, son of the
hotel proprietor, that he was unable
to get any response from the occu-
pant OF the room. Lawrence, he said
told him to look over the transom.
and he then announced his discov-
cry.
Fix Time of Crime
According to the authorities the
Time OF the crime was fixed at about
4 o'clock on the morning of June 2.
through testimony of chambermaid
at the preliminary hearing. The
maid, who had room directly above
that ocmupied by Miss Wick, said that
she was awakened at that hour by
sounds which she likened to blows
from baseball bat" She said that
she was unable to locate the sounds
but declared she heard movements
IN the room below. Soon afterward
she said, she heard someone leave
the room.
Guests at the hotel who occupied
rooms next to the death chamber de-
clared that they heard nothing to
disturb them at any time during the
night. ~
IN addition to the bloodsoaked bed
clothing presented at the preliminary
hearing, the state also introduced the
lire hose nozzle with which it con-
tended the crime was committed and
a pair of bloody trousers, found in
the. basement of the Prescott Hotel
about week after the crime, after
that part of the basement had been
previously searched thoroughly. Gum
mer denied that the trousers belonged
to him and their ownershop was mt
established.
Nozzle is Used.
The nozzle had been taken from q
tire hose in the corridor and after
being used to beat Miss Wick about
the head, was washed and replaced

AT any rate, dear reader, our disgust
was so great at this unsavory mess that
when the board met to consider the "mo-

our arms in the face of such provincialism
and, forthwith, hied ourselves back from
whence we came.
The exigencies of time and space added
to my inferior ability prevent clearer
picture of the strange environment in

the unusual religious intolerance that we
ran into. At all events it was not long

fore. The visitors fifth and last counter

Coverdale went out on fly to Gall but
Voges was passed on balls. Then on Tim

visitors only earned run in the game.
Buttner struck out, retiring the side and
ending the game so far as runs were con-

they had men on the runways and some
of them came dangerously near the scor-

there were thirteen hits charged up to PTS

so common among as mortals of mis-
taking the shadow for the substance.
We are beginning to realize the mis-
take. The signs are hopeful. We are
all agreed that the security of our
democracy depends upon education.
Moreover, we are coming to under
stand that democratic education is
one that unites men and not one that
divides them into classes. The most
hopeful sign of all is that the work.
ing1nan is beginning to demand a
larger share not merely of the voca-
tional training which fits him for a
trade but of that higher culture which
admits him TO his spiritual inheritance.
We shall all come at last to see that
the strength Of a democracy is in the
idealiSt and not in the utilitarian
alone. We shall realize also that the
practical education for a democracy
is an education that ripens the judg-
ment for the exercise of good citiben-
ship and opens the minds of men for
that better understanding Of each
other through which alone industrial
and social peace can be secured. The
fruits of such an education are evident
to any one who will take the trouble
to inquire.

The Sources of Weakness

II is only in the sea coast towns and

Hankow, Pelxin and Tsinanfu that any
Chinese special Government exists, for
Hong Kong is distinctly British, while
cities of thousands OF inhabitants in
the interior seem to really thrive with
out any Kind of municipal authority.
Their inhabitants are densely ignorant
and satisfied with their mud huts, lack
of civilization and sanitation. The
student OF Chinese conditions must
never forget her racial differences her
