Clara Benson has returned to i school and we are all glad to wel-; come her back. The green flag arrived too late to be put up Wednesday; but it will be used next year. Everyone is glad to see our genial; and teachers again, There is some talk among the boys of electing John Gainey captain of the baseball team. Ethel Knox, one of our really bright seniors, had charge of the fifth grade during the absence of its teacher. “The Classmate” is supposed to be a high school paper, but to read one would think it was a descendant of “Puck.” The class in modern history is getting very industrious (?) and even went so far as to hold an after-school session Tuesday. Ethel Knox, president of the girls’ litérary society, has returned to scheol after an absence of a week which she spent with her parents at Nebish. The pupils are taking much price and interest in the coming exhibi- tion of drawings and industrial work, to be given April 2nd and 3rd. The new piano is an assured thing, and now all are enthusiastic over decorating and beautifying ‘the new high school—when ’tis finished. The first literary session of the Kappa Gamma Chi will be held next Friday afternoon. An interesting program has been prepared and will be given at that time. Professor Biddinger is very proud of the plane geometry class. The professor surely has a right to feel proud of this class for they are cer- tainly doing fine work. The work that is being done by the Boys’ Glee club is certainly fine.

Mary Simons entertained a few of her high school friends at her home on Bemidji avenue Monday evening. All who were present report a very enjoyable time. are planning on visiting court for the purpose of learning how a case is carried on, and how the grand and petit juries do their work. Misses Donaldson and Hanson, teachers of drawing and music, respectively, in the local schools, were absent Wednesday on account Miss Donaldson was la grippe, and Miss Hanson was confined to her room with a severe case of tonsilitis.. Tasteful, artistic school rooms, presided over by orderly, beauty- loving teachers, have an 1nfluence upon the students which is quite as beneficial and enduring as anything found between the covers of their text books. - “To educate is to fit one to live, a joy to himself, and a g | blessing to mankind.” The Turner Art Exhibit has been | given in most of the large cities of the United States and Bemidji is | fortunate in securing so rare a loan. |§ Come and enjoy these pictures on NELSON TRIAL I8 Continued from First Page ran as soon as the shot was fired that killed Fuller. had said, just after Fuller was shot, that he himself was shot; fact of the matter was he bad been drinking heavily and did not remember every detail. Brown was somewhat confused as to whether the stranger who did the shooting stopped beside he and Fuller and then wheeled or they all kept moving. Brown said he ran for the reason that he thought the stranger was going to shoot him, just for what reason was not plain. He (Brown) had come back to the scene of the shooting when he turned around and saw the stranger running away in the opposite direction. He didn’t attempt to go after the stranger. As to saying he was him- self shot, he thought he felt some- thing on his cheek. In conclusion of the cross-examina- tion, Brown stated that he had not been in the barber shop at Fowlds the next morning after the shooting and said nothing about the crime; March 19th ’Leary rg Openi Friday and Saturday Showing Late Fashions in Ladies’, Men’s and Children’s Wear.

He (Lynstrom) had been drinking and was sick, retch- ing outside the building. He saw two men run, one up the track, and the other away from the spot where the shot was fired. Lynstrom said he went' into the saloon and laid down, still being sick, and afterwards went out to where Fuller lay; Fuller was still breathing. Saw Fuller, also, after the wounded man was taken into camp. Cross-examined by Mr. Funkley, Lynstrom stated that it was some 300 feet from where he stood, at the corner of the building to where the shot had been fired. Didn’t known what time of day it was; he had no watch. Dr. Shannon, who performed .the autopsy on the dead body of Morris Fuller, testified as to wound which caused Fuller’s death, and stated that the bullet had entered the front of the throat and lodged in the back of the neck, near the verterbrae. He attributed the cause of Fuller’s death to the shock and hemorrhage, caused by the bullet wound. Dr. Marcum, county coroner, at the time Fuller was killed, testified to having removed the bullet found in Fuller’s body; that he had kept the bullet for some time and after- wards given it to the county attor- ney. The county attorney offered a bullet, marked state’s ¢Exnibit A,” which was identified by Dr. Marcum as being the bullet taken from Fuller’s body, Cross-examined, Dr. Marcum admitted that he was not county coroner all the month of the time < he kept the bullet in his desk in his office; that the desk was a roll-top desk, and- the drawer itself was not in the office; the girl had a key to the desk. Matt Haffner, proprietor of the hotel at Puposky, testified that Nelson had been at his place of business the night of the murder, or rather the evening previous to the killing of Fuller; that he had not noticed anything unusual about Nelson’s appearance; that Nelson had given him a leather to keep, saying to te careful that it was loaded; that Nelson had Ileft the place right after supper, early in the night, There was quite a wordy dispute between the counsel on the admis- sion of some of Haffner’s testimony, which required = several decisions from - the judge before, being finally allowed to be made. ‘W. E. Hyatt, owner of the saloon near which the Kkilling of Fuller occurred, testified to Brown and Fuller being in his place drinking, and also ti that night of Nelson. Hyatt testi- fied that Nelson had referred to some trouble he and Hyatt had previously, and Nelson had shown him a big revolver, which he said he had for the purpose of defend- ing his money. Mr. Hyatt identified a cap and coat as being those which Nelson wore the night he was in Hyatt’s saloon, and described Nelson’s further apperrance as having been with rubbers and socks. According to Hyatt, Nelson had been drinking in his place. Hyatt stated clearly that Nelson had told him that he (Nelson) could have put Hyatt out of the way on several occasions, but didn’t want to. Hyatt described Nelson’s gun as being a big-barreled affair, the barrel of a one-chamber rifle sawed off and placed on a pistol stock. Hyatt positively identified a pis- tol holster as being the one worn by Nelson the night of the trag- edy. After the question had been ob- jected to, Hyatt was finally allowed to state that the time intervening from the departure of Nelson from his saloon to the firing of the shot which killed ‘Fuller was not more than three or four minutes. Court adjourned for noon. There was a large crowd at the afternoon session of court, there being a number of ladies present. W. E. Hyatt resumed the stand, and would not admit to Mr. Funkley that there had been ill feeling be- tween himself and Nelson. Olaf Solberg testified to seeing Nelson fix .45-.60 and .45-82 caliber rifle shells so that they would fit his home-made gun. Solberg admitted to Mr. Funkley that he had been locked up in the county jail with Nelson for the purpose of playing detective and securing a confession from Nelson, but that Nelson had told him in substance to ‘g0 to h—L” Harry Calvert testified that he had known Fuller for a long time Self Explanatory Communication.
