In either the free-for-all, the 2:10 | or the 2:13 class races, itis certain that a track record will be estab- lished as low as 2:15, which will be. 1'2 seconds faster than the track record at Hibbing, which the horse- men there have boasted of so fre- quently of late. Certain it is that there is some rare sport in the race ‘line in store for the pairons of the [ fair. All the horses which were secured at Hibbing arrived this forenoon in charge of their drivers and were taken to the race tracks. ‘The track is in elegant condition | the rain with the strong wind of Eyesterdny and the sunshine today | having given those in charge of the track the opportunity of working over the ground until it is almost as level asa floor.

MILLIGAN, 0. M. JoHNSON, J. M. WATKINS, H. P. BisHor. The jury in the case against Mar- tin S. Munn, on trial for the murder of August June 14, was completed yesterday Franklin, at Spooner evening, aud this morning County Attorney Henry Funkley opened the case for the state. The selection of the jury occupied more than had been expected, and there was apparently an aversion among those called to serve in the case. Munn was indicted by the grand jury at this term of court for the murder in the first degree, and from the examination of the jurors, the state expects to bring about a conviction under the degree charged in the indictment, the county attor- ney having avoided getting jurors to serve in the case who expressed any scruples against the inflicting of the death penalty in case of conviction. There were only a few people present in the court room this morn- ing when the case was opened,nearly all in attendance being witnesses in the case, attorneys and attaches of of the court. FIVE-LEGGED GOW WILL BE SEEN AT THE FAIR Tbe Akeley Tribune’s Wonderful Bovine Will Be Shown at the Fair This Week. One of the side attractions which will be at the fair, and which will be well worth seeing, is the famous Akeley Tribune Five-Legged cow. The cow was shown at the fair at Park Rapids and created no end of comment, The cow will be in a small tent and will shown to all, ata small price of admission. The Akeley Tribune says of the cow: —————— e — Mr. Funkley cesumed but very| little time in outlining the case of the state to the jury. He reviewed the history of the crime briefly, stat- ing that the state would show that on the morning of the tragedy wit- nesses had heard a shot in the build- ing occupied by the defendant Munn and Mrs. Franklin as a restaurant. Continuing Mr. Funkley stated that he would show that after the shooting, Munn came from the build- ing revolver in hand and told witness: “Take gun, I have shot Franklin.” The state would also show by other witnesses the events leading up to the shooting and the subse- quent death of Franklin. The first witness called by the state was T. J. Williams, who testi- fied that he had known Frank- lin since March, before the shooting. Williams conducts a hardware store at Baudette, across the river from Spooner, and Franklin had been employed by him as a tinner. On the evening before the shooting, which occurred about 1 o’clock in the morning, Franklin had worked in the tin shop until 9 o’clock. Emil Engebretsen, who operates a saloon in the building adjoining that which Munn and Mrs. Franklin occupied as a restaurant, was the next witness called. He testified to having seen Munn earlier in the evening, and about 1 o’clock in- the morning his attention was attracted by a shot next door. He went to the back door, but found nothing “Among the side attractions - at the Hubbard county fair to be held Sept 11-12-13 will be the Akeley Tribune five-legged cow and her calf, some six weeks old. “The cow is a wonderful animal. The fifth leg protrudes from her back and she appears to handle it without any inconvenience whatever. She is even more shrewd than the average cow. Her calf was about three weeks old before it could be located, although she came up each evening with the herd. “She outwitteda dozen or more boys, who were offereda tempting reward for the recovery of the calf. James Dooley, telephone constructor for the Red River Lnmber Co., fin- ally captured the calf. The five legged cow appears to be the leader of the herd and evidently has hypno-' JURY SECURED INMUNN CASE.

There he heard Munn call for him to come. Munn asked him to come into the restaurant, stating he had shot Franklin. He accom- panied him in the building and Munn wanted him to take the revolver with which hs had done the shooting. Witness remained in the building with Munn until the marshal came. Asked about the location of different articles in the room, the witness gave a minute description. From the examination of the wit- ness it would appear that the state would establish there had been no scuffle between the men. Witness testified that all the articles of furniture were in their regular places and there was no sign of any disturb- ance. Apan of eggs on the table underneath which Franklin’s body was partly lying were unbroken. Witness also described the location of the body and other details. Cross.examined by Clough noth- ing that would change the testimony of the witness in the main was brought out. Other witnesses followed includ- ing the doctor who performed the post- mortem examination and at noon the state rested. E. D. Clough will open this after- noon for the defence, and in addi- tion to other witnesses will - place Munn on the stand to testify in his own behalf. It is expected the case will reach the jury by tomorrow night, the jurors on the regular panel having been excused until Friday morning, e e ——————————————| tised Dooley’s cow, which readily consents to the young calf partaking of her creamy milk after draining of its mother’s udder. Dooley con siders it a huge joke, even if he does lose a gallon of milk each day. “The Tribune has received sev- eral tempting offers for the five- legged cow by show managers, but he turned them all down. “Visit the county fair and see this freak.” Estray Notice.
