It was boldly claimed that,ghe plizzard was a native of and confined to {he,,west.

It quotes Hazen's notion in support of the statement that *“we in the east don’t know what a blizzard 1s.” A Dlizzard i politely transformed into a cold wave when it reaches that section. Accord- ing to tho Globe, a blizzard 1s a fierce, cold tornado, with snow and low temperature. That which the Globe describes is classed as a *cold snap,” which sent the mercury from 30 degrees 1o several points below zero. There was evidently some snow on the fringes of the “cold snap,” for the Globe incidentally mentions blockades and delays in traffic, with the harbor so choked with ice as to render navigation perilons. 1f there was a gale with th 1d sgap” it would be mistaken for a blizzard.

There Is in the city a strong lobby in- terested in this bill, and it has worked very cleverly. Bishop Hare, however, is con- fident that he can defeat the bill. This measure was introduced by Aldrich of Miner county and teday the senate by a vote of 26 to 13 after a sharp debate. The bill provides that no decree for divorea shall be issued until the applicant has been a bona fide resident of the state for at least six months. Its purpose is to allow outsiders to come here and begin suit at once, but six months’ delay will ensue before the decree is granted. At present six months’ residence is necessary before the suit Is begun Senator ities as a stage manager and skili as an actor are also well defined.

ERWIN'S QUESTIONS RULED Mr. Erwin asked a number of which were ruled out by the court. them were the followin, “Did you tell your father and mother that you were being shadowed?” Did you not tell them that folks were peering into your windews constantly, and the next one who did would get the contents of your revolver? “Did you tell your father that you met a man on your fishing trip who told you that vou had had trouble and would have more, and that you were so impressed with it that you had your life insured?” ““Did you often threaten to rob sirect crs? One impeached question which was allowed was this: “Now, you told us yesterday that when you were In the jail Harry said: ‘They are pressing Blixt rather close.’ " “I don't remember whether I said so or Harry did. We were both of us reading tho papers. Then Harry said: ~I'm not afraid about his sticking, What 1 am afraid of is'—tapping me on the shoulder— ‘what you may say. “Now, don’t you know. that the pape nothing in thém about Blixt that day?' “I don't know anything about it. I know we read it."” “Did you not say in the office to your father on October 7, ‘I've got. to have money ome way. If I don’t get it I'll rob a street car or hoid up a train, or do something. 1 know a scheme to fix Harry, and I'll do it, see It T don't.”” . “I did not,” sald Adry. “Now, why di you go to Stewart with this?" “I thought he was a friend, Father would not listen to me. Harry said that he could send me to Stillwater. He and father had the money and they could send me to Stlllwater any timo they wanted to. I told Harry that I could send him. Father wanted to know what I meant by that. I told him I could, just he same. I went to "Elder Stewart that same day and told him all about it."” “Had_not your Elder Stewart?” Well, he had some trouble, for I know father had not been doing the eider’s busi- ness for about three months. He had gone thero right along, however, and they were on reasonably good terms. “Now, why did you go to him when you knew he was an enemy?” “Ho was not an_enemy; he was a friend. I hid known him for twenty-five years. SHOES THAT ADRY WORE. “Did you wear the same shoes th of the murder that you have on no “Yes, sir; I think I did. I had two pairs of tan’ colored shoes down stairs that were more pointed than these,” said Adry. “Very well, I offer the shoes. You need not take them off,” said Erwin. Adry held the shoe up with outstretched foot for the jury to look at. “Did you have a friend named Frank who knew Blixt?” Erwin then asked Adry If he had gone out to Kenwood boulevard with Blixt. If he had gone out with Blixt to a place beyond Lake Calhoun, and selected the place where Miss Ging was to be murdered, and whether he had not said to Blixt, “Frank will protect you if there s any trouble Adry denied ever knowing Blixt to any ex- tent, and had not walked a block on the street with him, These questions on the part of the defense indicate a possible purpose of setting up that it was Adry and not Harry who con- spired to commit the murder with Blixt, and that the much talked of pointed shoe tracks at the scene of the murder were made by Adry. The cross-examination of Adry Hayward as concluded a little later in the morning, He declared he had received no promise of protection from the state and that be had told his vtory upon the advice of Elder Stewart, who was his friend and his attorney, He had elected to stay in fall most of the time since the arrest of Harry upon Stewart's advice and to save himself annoyance from reporters and others.

The friends of the measure advocate it solely on tho ground that it will bring a large sum of money into the state. Bishop Hare has organized the clergy and other church people against it. A strong fight will be made upon it in the house, but the pros- pects are that it will become a law. Bishop Hare not only has a very lage prestige among Episcopalians, but is a very shrewd and popular man, and is not a novice in matters of legislation. He has returned to Sloux Falls, but it is expected that he will come back and organize the fight later on.
