STRANGE EVIDENGE WILL PROBABLY GONVICT-HIM )\ Broken Hat Pin Will Probably Solve the Mystery of Murder of Two Years ago. “ The old adage that murdef will ! out will soon have a strange exempli- fication at Little Falls. When a certain young man patient, who was operated upon a short time ago for appendicitis, recovers sufficiently to be arrested, he will be lodged in jail on the charge of murder. The man’s name is witheld for the present. While the .doctors were operating for appendicitis, they took from the man’s abdomen a piece of a hat pin, and it is reasonably certain that the young man is the murderer of a girl who was killed near Little Falls two years ago. It was disclosed that when attacked the girl used her hat pin upon her assailant, breaking it. Now the broken piece of the hat pin has been found lodged in the sup- posed murderer’s abdomen. About two years ago a girl living at Randall, Morrison county, was brutally attacked and killed while on her way home from the railway station. In the struggle she had stabbed her assailant with a hat pin that had broken in the encounter. At the time of the murder the girl had a lover, and the two were seen together shortly before the murder. The young man was most strenuous in his efforts to hunt down the mur- derer and accompanied the sheriff west to identify two suspects. Two weeks ago he was taken sick with appendicitis and while the doctors were digging around in his abdomen they found the broken piece of the hat pin. As soon as the young man re- covers he will be arrested - on the charge of murder and it is expected that in view of the strong evidence furnished by the hat pin he will break down and confess.

Most of the “assessment returns are being brought tq the auditor’s office by . the -assessors personally, except from the remote townships of the north western part of the county where the total tax extended would not pay the expense incurred in bringing the assessments in. These are returned by registered mail. Bright Leaves Tonight. Matt Bright, who has spent the last ten days here visiting, will re- turn to Superior tonight, from where he will go to Butte, Montana, where he will spend the remainder of his vacation in the law offices of the Amalgamated Copper Co. Mr. Bright was formerly engaged in the mercantile business in this section, but has been a law student at the Ann Arbor, (Mich.) university for the past-three years. He completes his course next year, and it is likely that he will locate in Bemidji. ¢ BASEBALL GAME SUNDAY: - BEMIDJI VS. DEER RIVER Local Manager Expects to Have Sev- eral New Men in the Bemidji Line-up. Adam Otto, manager of the Be- midji baseball team, announces that the Deer River team will play against Bemidji, in this city Sunday afternoon, arrangements for the game having been completed today. Deer River and Bemidji came to- gether twice last year, and the Bemidjians won both contests. It is claimed that Deer River has a fast bunch this year, and hopes to win in the game here Sunday. Manager Otto states that he has at least three new players who will be in Sunday’s game. One is a catcher, whose name is not given out at present. He is from Inter- national Falls, and is said to bea good one, Truedell, a pitcher, is also on the roll, and A. A! Andrews of Minneapolis, is also a candidate for the team. Itis safe to predict that Sunday’s game will be a good one, and that the playing will be much better than last Sunday. Bids for School House Akeley, Minn.

PRAY, Clerk, “Miller-Edmonds. Announcements have been re- ceived in the city announcing the WORK OF DETECTES finginear of Train Tells of Fake Attempt to Wreck It. HAD BEEN WARNED OF PLOT Amusing Story Related by Witness in the Haywood Case’ Concerning an Occurrence in the Cripple Creek District During Strike of Miners. Bolse, Ida, June 28.—The greater part of the morning session of the Steunenberg murder trial was used up in completing the examination of W. F. Davis, whom Orchard swore in- spired several of the prin#pal acts of violence ‘committed at Cripple Creek during the strike. Senator Borah searchingly questioned him as to the Oripple Creek strike and its principal events and his action in changing his name, but the witness held to his de- nials of misconduct on the part of himself and his associates. W. W. Rush of Denver, formerly an engineer on the Florence and Cripple Creek railway, now running as pas- senger and freight engineer on the Moffat road running out of Denver, was the next witness. Ru en | gineer of the train which the Westein Federation of Miners’ officials claim an attempt was made to wreck in oi- der to put the b 2 on the uni Rush said there As to the first as to the second he received informa- tion. “Who from?” asked Darrcw. Repeats Story of Detectives. “D. C. Scoti, chief of detectives. Mr. Scott toid e on the night of Nov, 14, 1903, to be very careful in running that night as another attempt would be made to wreck the train. He said they would attempt to throw the train into the ditch near the overhead cross- ing. I said I did not think they could throw me there because you can see the place too far. Scott then asked me it I knew of any other good place to wreck a train along there. I said it might be done at the second left hand curve east of the overhead crossing. Scoit repeated the location after me. On the 11:55 trip to Bull Hill that night Scott got on the train and told me to stop near the second left hand curve. I did so and two men dropped off the rear of the train. One was tall and the other short.” “Is Scott a tall man and Sterling of the Mine Owners’ association a short man?” interrupted Mr. Darrow. “Yes, sir. It was early in the morn- ing of Nov. 15 when the train reached Victor on the next trip. Scott and Sterling were there. They told me ‘They’ve done it I said “What?" and Scott said, “They have removed a rail at the identical” point you thought they would.’ -Scott and Sterling said they saw the men at work. When we struck the curve we got out and walked ahead to where nine or ten spikes had been taken from a rail. It was still in place, however.” On cross-examination the witness said the point where the spikes were pulled was undoubtedly the most dan- gerous on the road and the most like- 1y place to be selected by train wreck- ers. First President of Union. Ed Boyce, who wag the first pres- ident of the Western Federation of Miners and who was a witness for the state, was called by the defense after Rush retired. Boyce is ome of the principal owners of the Hercules mine In the Coeur d’Alenes. Orchard once held a one-sixteenth interest in the property and the defense claims that it was the loss of this Which engen- dered hatred of Steunenberg in the heart of the confessed murderer of the dead governor. Boyce, quegtioned by Darrow, said ore was first struck in the Hercules in*1901. Prospecting had gone on for fourteen years prior to that time. Boyce was then questioned as to his early life in the Coeur d’Alenes. He said he was arrested and brought to Boise in 1892 along with thirteen oth- ers for a technical violation of a Unit- ed States court injunction against trespassing. The next time he came to Boise was as a member of the state legislature. The United States su- preme court declared the arrest of Boyee and the others illegal, but Boyce said he had been released by this time. S Hawley Thelr Attorney«Then. Boyce said that James H. Hawley, now leading counsel for the state, was attorney for thg miners. / “And it was he who got you out?” asked Darrow. “Mr. Hawley did splendid work for us,” replied the witness.~ At the time of his arrest in 1902 Boyce said the only union the miners had were locals. While in jail an amalgamation was discussed. The witness talked to Mr. Hawley about 'to yay $33 a ton. € after’ the lawyer returned frof a trip to Dutte. Mr. Hawley said that unless the miners got together in one organiza- tion they could do nothing. After other conferences with Mr.-Hawley }nd Attorney Patrick Reddy of Cali- rnia the Western Federation of Min- ers was organized. Its objects, Mr. Boyce stated, were to prevent a reduc- tion of wages, to abolish the company stores, bunkhouses and hospitals, to secure shorter hours and to require more safety appliances in the differ- ent mines. The union als6 sought members of the legislature who would seek to better its ends generally. HAS NO BEARING ON CASE Truth or Falsity of Story Told Judge Loving by His Daughter. Houston, Va,, June 28.—Judge Barks- dale, in the Loving murder trial, gave his opinion as to the admissibility of evidence by the prosecution tending to disprove the story told by Miss Elizabeth Loving to her father of her ruin at the hands of Theodore Estes. The opinion was in favor of Judge Loving and the evidence will not be submitted. Judge Barksdale ruled that the character of the girl or the character of the r~n who was killed was not the issue and the truth or falgity of her story had no bearing on the case. IHEIR DREAM GOMES TRU: Sh'ppers to Secure a Uni‘form Bill of Lading. Chicago, June 28.—A binding agree- ment between shippers and the rail- roads, the dream of American com- merce, in the form of a uniform bill of lading, practically has been agreed upon. Representatives of commercial interests and all the trunk lines of the country have settled upon the form of the new bill and the inter- state commerce commission has con- curred. Tt will be submitted for the ratification of the railroads and com- mercial interests of the country early in July. The effect of the ratification will be to make the new bill of lading a part of the interstate commerce law. The shippers then will have the thing for which they have clamored for the last decade—a railroad receipt binding on the carriers. The negotiations have been thus far carried on by railroad representatives and members of the hoard of directors of the Illinois Man- facturers’ association. The new bill will hold the initial road and its connections liable for a shipment from the time it is delivered to the company until it is delivered to the consignee at its destination. The Illinois Manufacturers’ associa- tion and the American Shippers’ asso- ciation have pressed the matter be- fore the interstate commerce commis- sion for three years. The conditions were agrced upon at a conference May 24 and 25 in Chicago. The conditions were placed before the interstate commerce commission with the view of having them incorporated into a law that would he mutually protective and it was agreed that a draft of the bill of lading and conditions would be submitted to the railroads and com- mercial interests of the country early in July. THREE - PERSONS KILLED. Fatal Electrical Storm at New York and Vicinity. New York, June 28.—A death deal- ing electric storm, following a day of sweltering heat soaked with humidity, swept over the city and surrounding territory, killing three persoms, injur- ing several, causing many fires and doing considerable damage. In this city the only places struck were two churches. The steeples of both were torn into fragments by the lightning bolts. ! = Walter Dixon, a negro, was struck by a lightning bolt while stepping from a train at Fishkill; John Law- less, a workingman, was struck and killed in Brooklyn, while the third victim was Miss McKenna, daughter of J. A. McKenna of Newark, N. J., who was killed in Union Hill, N. J., where she had taken refuge under a tree. DISCUSS STEEL. RAILS. Manufacturers and Railroad Presi- dents Confer.
