Mr. Russell then said, “We offer to show by the witness that up to December 3, 1907, approxi- mately 770 miles of road had been laid out in Beltrami county and that considerable work had been done thereon.” To this the state objected, Commissioner Ryan sus- taining the objection. This completed the testimony of the detense for Messrs, Sibley and Wright. At the conclusion of the case, A. W. Danaher was sworn on his own behalf, and offered to show that $7,450 spent on the road and bridge fund were appropriated at the meeting of the board Tuesday, April 30, 1907, and that at that time his motions for appropria- tions received no second; that though present at' the meeting he wished the evidence to show the hostility of the other members of the board towards him and that appropriations were made without his participation, even though presett at the meeting. Regard- ing the third count, Mr, Danaher stated that he had never partici- pated in the making of such report as called tor in rhat charge and knew nothing of the making of such report untill he read it in Mr. Kain’s report. Further testimony was then offered by the state in its case 'against Mr. Wilmann.® Mr. Stoner was recalled as a witness and stated that he had no definite arrangement or agreement with Mr. Wilmann, neither had Mr. Wilmann ever employed him to enter the proceedings of the county board into the road record, or to bring the road record up to date. Upon cross-examination by Mr, McDonald, Mr. Stoner stated that he had made county maps under the direction of Mr. Wilmann and that they might have had some talk as to work on the records for the year 1905 and prior thereto; that at that time Mr. Wilmann might have dis- cussed the desirability of getting | getting this record: complete to the date but that no definite arrange- ment had been made. At 11 o’clock Commissioner Ryan adjourned the hearing to Room 24, Markham Hotel, to give Mr. Kain, who has been confined to his room for the pa.t three or four days, an opportunity of furnishing additional evidence, if he so desired. The balance of the testimony will be given tomorrow. Injured at Depot J. C.

GRAND ARMY IN ANNUAL PARADE Yeterans March on Streets of Salt Lake City. ~ STRICTLY MILITARY AFFAIR Column Is Led by the Fifteenth United States Infantry, Followed by the Utah National Guard, and Then Came the Survivors of the Civil War by States, Illinois Having the First Position in Line. Salt Lake City, Aug. 12.—Banishing thoughts of new cowmanders -and meeting places the national encamp- ment of the Grand Army of the Re- public devoted itself to the annual parade, which wheeled into line in front of the Brigham Young statue at the head of Main street. The column weg strictly military in Its composition. The Fifteenth infan- try, U. 8. A, from Fort Douglass, took the lead and was followed by the Utah national guard and the carriages con- veying the commander-in-chief, his official family and distinguished guests. . Illinols led the states. Then came Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio— on down the list to Oklahoma. The Union Ex-Prisoners of War marched after Oklahoma and the Utah com- rades modestly brought up the rear. Past cheering thousands of spec- tators the column moved slowly down Main street, a thoroughfare 132 feet in width. Seven blocks, one mile in Salt Lake City, brought the head of the proces- sion to Seventh street, where 1,200 school children in red, white and blue robes and caps formed a human flag that undulated in the semblance of wind tossed waves. The llving flag joined the parade in marching order and followed the vet- erans back to the starting point, ‘where the-historic ranks passed in re- view before Henry M. Nevius, the commander-in-chief. Then the commander reviewed the Uving flag, the crowds dispersed and the forty-third march of the Grand Army of the Republic was over. Nevius Makes Address. At the first business meeting of the encampment Commander-in-Chief Ne- vius delivered the annual address. He said, in part: “On Dec. 21, 1907, the members in good standing of the Grand Army of- the Republic. numbered 225,157 and there were 13,489 on the suspended list. There were remaining in good standing on Dec. 31, 1908, 220,616 and 8,689 remaining suspended. The num- ber of comrades reported as having died between Dec. 81, 1907, and Dec. 31, 1908, was 10,124. “Investigation will show that there have been many bills introduced in the national congress called pension bills asking for relief for the veterans on different lines and no prospect of any of them becoming a law. The Grand Army of the Republic, standing united, has in the past years secured and placed upon the statute books such pension laws as are in force and will continue to ask for such relief as shall seem to be equitable and just. “The number of survivors of the Ctvil war at the close of the last fiscal year was 620,985. The number of sur- vivors on the pension rolls May 31, 1909, was 596,411. The amount ap- propriated for pensions during the year was $162,000,000. The amount appropriated and spent during the year ending June 30, 1908, in the na- tional and state homes for the sup- port of old and needy- soldiers was $1,187,861.” HITS “GHOST” WITH STONE Blow Causes Woman's Death and Slayer Is Locked Up.

Annapolis, Md., ‘Aug. 12.—Investiga- tion of the death of Lieutenant James _N. Sutton, United States marine corps, seems to be within measurable dis- tance of the end.

Wiedefeld, who prepared Lieutenant Sutton’s body for burial, both testified that there was no evi- dence that efther of Sutton’s arms had been broken. -Wiedefeld said there were no indications that he had been beaten, though the witness had made no examination for such, Professor Gilbert P. Coleman of the naval academy sald he was in Lieu tenant Sutton’s.company frém lunch time until about midnight of Oct. 12, 1907 (the night .of Sutton’s death), then left the Ileutenant with Miss May Stewart of Pittsburg in the as- sembbly room of the hotel.

ENGLISH UNEMPLOYED - GOING TO SWEDEN Several Shiploads of Strike breakers on Way, 2t London, Aug. 12—Despite the warn- ing of British boards of trade several shiploads of British strikebreakers have left Hull for Sweden. The strikebreakers were told that they would incur heavy personal risks in going to Sweden and would find the doors of organized labor forever closed to them on their return to England, but the warning is apparently dissuad- ing none. Swedish agents are busy among the great mass of English unemployed and are finding thousands who are so anx- lous to work that they will accept any risk if it but brings employment. Messages from Stockholm declare that, while the situation there and in other Swedish cities is improved, the rural districts are causing the greatest apprehension. Hundreds of farm hands have responded to the appeal of the strike leaders and farm- ers were never before so short of har- vesters.
