Some time ago ! promised | would
tell you some more about the tractor
deal. Shortly after Frank French
was elected our County Commission
ers ordered two caterpillar tractors,
agreeing to pay $5,012.00 cash money
for each plus freight from California.
AS far as the tractors go they are
no doubt good tractors, and ought to
be at that price, and if more tractors
is what you tax payers want then
tractors is what you should have. The
only objection | have is that it is
going to run our road fund in the
hole again, the bankers will soon be
singing glory halleluiah and discount
ing warrants the same as they did
before, but it is not more than fair
they should have some reward for
voting for Frank French.
Most Of you farmers have some ex-
perience in buying machinery, as a
rule when you have the cash money
you do not pay the very top price,
Of course, the dealers like TO get il
if they can, but they do not very
often get it when they are dealing
with you, it is different when the

new EVIDENCE IN
SIECERT MURDER
Judge Paul Hears Motion for New
Trial-Will Take the Matter
Under Amusement

Scobey, April 1O.-The case of Joe
Kittock, convicted of manslaughter by
a jury at the December term of court
here, came before Judge S. E. Paul a
few days ago on motion for a new
trial on the grounds of newly discov-
cred evidence.
The defense presented affidavits
showing that about April 1, 1924 the
murdered man, Carl Siegert, had told
various persons he was afraid for his
life; that he had on several occasions
been threatened by Bill Mosourilx, a
Russian living north Of Scobey, who
held a grudge against him because
Of his friendship for a woman in
whom Mosourik was also interested.
Affidavits show that Siegert was a
fraid of Mosourik and was trying to
avoid him.
Thomas F. Keogan, attorney for
Kittock, made his argument for a new
trial, the state was given five days
in which to present further showing
when the court will take the matter
under consideration.

SACCO AND VANZETTI TO
BE JUDICIALLY MURDERED
3 JUDGE THAYER SENDS INNO-
= CENT MEN TO CHAIR JULY 4
10TH FOR PAYROLL ROB i
Berry AND MURDER.

Dedham, Mass.-Sentence to
death in the electric chair in the
week of July 10 was imposed to-
day upon Nicola SaccO and Bar
tOlOmeO Vanzetti whose fight for
a new trial after their conviction
for murder in the first degree in
1921 has aroused interest in many
countries. Judge Webster Thay-
er Of the superior court, who pre-
sided at their trial, pronounced
the sentence.
The court room was well guard
ed and police prevented the en-
trance of any one who could not
prove that he had business there.
The two men were brought to
court in a motor bus its windows
covered with iron bars. They
were shackled together and a
guard ON either side.
As they alighted they were
surrounded by a squad of police
in uniform carrying riot guns,
who escorted them up the court
house steps.
After District Attorney Will
bar had moved that the sentence
of death be pronounced Judge
Webster Thayer turned to Nicola
SaccO with the formula:
Have you anything TO say
why sentence Of death should not
be pronounced on your"
"Yes," said SaccO as he step
ped forward in tho dock.
Then in English sometimes
broken, with decided accent and
some times faulty grammar, he
made his final impassioned plea.
l never know. l never heard,
l never read. even in history, of
the oppression or cruelty of this
court. After seven years Of pros
ecutiOn, they still consider us
guilty"
Closing he said:
"NOw after seven years of per-
secutiOn of me and my poor wife.
=. you are going to sentence me to
= death.
I've never been guilty, never.
Not yesterday not today, not for
ever"
Vanzetti addressed the court at
some length and accused Judge
Thayer of always having been
prejudiced against him.

to eliminate crime from the

mlts without recommendation the
request Of the Milwaukee that it be
granted joint rights over part of the

Prompt action is urged on the fed
eral commission in order that the

is $2,546,OO0.

Little weight was given by the
commission to the argument Of the
Great Northern that its proposed line
was a link in a projected through line
between Lewistown, Mont, and New
Rockford, N. ID. 1t was shown that
such construction would require build
ing 555, miles Of additional main line
at a total cost Of approximately $40
OOO,OOO on which the annual charges
for interest and maintenance alone
would amount to $3,5O0,0OO a year.
