WHIT ARRESTED FOR PERJURY But One Witness for the State in! Cochrane Case and Her Testimony Open to Impeachment Thursday morning County Attor- ney Thwing entered a noble in the case ofjthe State vs. David Cochran for the muraer of Allen Whitt and Cochran is again a free man, and the general opinion now prevails among those} conversant with the case is that Cochran shot Whitt in self defense and that the evidence of Mrs. Whitt before the Justice at the preliminary hearing was largely manufactured, and her statements to the County Attorney since have been so conflicting that he was coms pelled to dismiss the case. Court convened at 9 o’clock Thurs- day morning with a special venire of 150 jurorsin attendance, but when the case was called the county attor- ney asked to nolle the action. He stated, in effect that even conceding that the story of the complaining witness was true, it would be i m- possible to obtaina conviction, and that she had$been caught in so many falsehoods, that be himself had no confidence in what she said. The defendant’s attorney, George H. Spear, asked Judge McClenahan to consent to the motion and requested that the sheriff immediately take the woman into custoday and that the county attorney at once proceed with her prosecution on a charge of perjury at least. The defense anticipating that the woman could ve ‘successfully im- peached on the trial bas had her watched for some time past so that she could be immediately arrested if she undertook to leave. Judge MeClenahan granted the mo- tion to dissmiss as to all pending in- dictments against David Cochran and Anderson and at the same time directed the arrest of the Rosen women and her vigorous prosecution. Mr. Cochran’s daughter reached Grand Rapids Thursday evening from Grafton, West Virginia. She saw her father for the first time just aftershe had been informed of bis vindication. Judge Cochran was for years on the probate bench of Wright county and the case has attracted wide attention #throughout the state by reason of his prominence. Mrs. Whitt, or the Rosen woman, was know all through porthern Wisconsin. She had participated in various .escapades at Cadott and Abbotsford and also Curtis and Chippewa Falls. Her busband was Harry M. Rosen who obtaineda di- vorce from her fin the district of Heunepin county in April, of this year on the ground that she had committed statutory offense with Allen Whitt, George Stacy, Tony Olson, and other persons. On the preliminary examination the woman testified that her father and monther had both been dead for years. Had the case gone to trial the defense would have produced her father and used him asa _ witness to testify that the woman could not be believed under oath, He is a respectable Bohemian farmer by the name of John Chilar, living at New Market, Minnesota. It is estimated that the case has cost the covnty of Itasca at least $2,500 for its prosecution thus far. The defense bas probably expended as much more. Judge Cochran is practicing law at Deer River, Minne- sota. Mrs. Whitt bad her preliminary examination yesterday before Judge Bailey charged with perjury and the hearing Was cuntinued until Monday, Union Services Sunday. There will be union services. of Methodist and Presbyterian congre- gation, next Sabbath morning, service At, 10:45 at Presbyterian church Evening sérvice at 7:55 Methodist church, Rev. Mr. Scott will preach at both services. ; )CAN’T PLAY It is too bad but we have reiuctant- {ly come to the comelusion that our baseball team is that intame only.

A PROSPEROUS BUSINESS HOUSE Bovey ne in y after- Six years ago Ben Levy located in Grand Rapids with a small stock of goods ina small building. Within one year it became necessary to find larger quarters and he moved his goods to the store in the Odd Fellows block and for some two years more this the ‘trade hustled from stapd, but Mr. Levy was never istied with the location and two y. ago had his present location remod- led and speciaily fitted for the pre- sent upsto-date clothing and dry goods store, and by aggressive adver tising today is among the foremost business of the town. The clearance sales that Mr. Levy inaugurated makes it possible for him to clean up all goods and every season finds an opening with new goods of the best and latest styles. This is what has worked up the business to its present point and is a policy that will be continued. Recently Mr. Levy secured a fine location at Coleraine where he inteads to putin an exclu- sive men’s and boy’s clothing and furnishing store, under the supervi- sion of hisson Abe, who has been indentified with the business here since its infancy. Mr. Levy has gone to the eastern markets wher he will buy his fall and winter stocks for both stores and the customers of the Enterprise may expect the best goeds the market affords at the very lowest cash price. was Captured a Live Moose. Passengers on the steamer Itasca Jast. Saturday saw an unusual sightas the boat was op its way up the Little Fork river says the International Falls Echo. When near Forsyth, the boat rounded abend and almost ran into a full-grown moose, which was found to be stuck in the mud, where it had gone ina mad effort to escape | the ferocity of the flies, with which every exposed portion of its body was covered. The boat was run up to the {king of the forest and all hands aboard took hold of the animal and tried to pull it on deck, but it proved to be too firmly imbedded. Then a rope was passed around its horns and made fast to the boat, when the latter was backed up and the animal pulled loose, aiter which it was taken on the yessel and carried to the | village of Littlefork, There it was | placed in a barn out of the reach of its natural enemies, but the anima was so exhausted thatit sue despite the friendly care it re Send in your and watch us grow. WHEN TO ! CUT BRUSH subscriptions July 15 to August 15 is the time for our farmers to cut brush and have it stay cut. This is the statement of ; W. L. Nevius, manager of the David- son-McRae ranch who has cleared more land than any other half dozen }men in Aitkin county, says the | Aitkin Age. He says brush cut at any other season will only multiply the sprouts and do more harm than good in the way of clearing. His advice is, cut after the middle of July all the brush you can. Don’t stop to pile it but let it lay and keep on cutting until the middle of Au- gust, then pile it up and burn it. The land can be seeded with the first fall of snow without plowing and after four years of pasturing any field not having pine stumps in it can bg plowed up without difficulty. This does away with the grubbing and Mr. Nevius declares that Aitkin county land treated in this way will make the best dairy country in: the state. After handling stock for years in Ohio and southern Minne- i sota Mr. Nevius says he had as soon j take a contract to winter 500 head of cattle without grain right here as anywhere he knows of, — ' & yearn
