The verdict of the jury was something pf a surprise, as, the state had made out an exception ally strong case. The defendants wef-e charged with assaulting and attempt ing to gouge out the eye of Jack How ard, employed in the capacity of fore man on the McHenry farm, down on the Sheyenne. John Frame and A. T. Cole appeared for the defendant and Wm. H. Barnett prosecuted. When the case of the state vs...Win ger was called the defendant failed to put in an appearance and his bond in the sum of $1,000, was declared forfeit ed. Winger was charged with giving intoxicating liquors away. There is another case against him, in which he is charged with unlawfully taking or ders for intoxicating liquors. The bond in this case is $1,000, and it is thought that he will forfeit this. Winger is the representative of a St. Paul wholesale house and when arrested was repre senting the house in this state. He was picked up in Casselton and bound over to the district court. The case of the state vs. Joseph Mil ler was called yesterday afternoon. Mil ler is charged with conducting a blind pig at his farm house in the western part of the county. He was afrested on a complaint sworn out by a for mer hired man, named Wagner. The young fellow claimed that Miller stold him a half parrel of beer. Miller de nies the charge by stating that the fel low stole the liquor. Wagner, the pri cipal witness in the case, is said to have gotten into some kind of a scrape at Valley City a few weeks ago and skipped out.: The state was depending largely on his^ testimony for aconyic 'I tiofti: jSi&TCH VERDICT."

He recited to the jury that the simpft finding of a, great quantity of liquor, gs was found at Miller's house, did not necessarily go to prove guilt, but of course had its weight. He recited the fact that a saloon might appear in the guise of a palatial residence, and intimated strongly his belief in the guilt of the accused. He turned to the prisoner and gave him a word of warning, re marking that the verdict would be a "Scotch verdict," which means, "guilty, but not proven." When the jury was asked whether "not guilty" was its verdict, each member responded yes, and the prisoner was ordered discharge ed and the verdict recorded. Judge Pollock continued his remarks about witnesses skipping out, and in structed that in the future all com plaining witnesses in Cases of this character must be placed under bond, or held in confinement. PLEADS GUIlM^"* Frank Cowan, afrested at Leonard a few days ago, and brought to the coun ty jail, charged with bootlegging, was arraigned in court this afternoon, and entered a plea of guilty. He was sen tenced to pay a tihe of $200 and to serve ninety days in the county jail. In the event that he does not pay his fine he will be compelled to serve thirty additional days. "Where have I seen you before your face looks familiar?" asked the court of the prisoner. "I worked in Fargo this spring is a painter," replied Cowan. "Is this the first time you have- ever appeared before me?" The prisoner hung his head and re fused to answer. The court looked to the state's attorney for a reply and Mr. Barnett stated that the prisoner was before the court at the April term charged with grand larceny that he was permitted to enter a plea of guilty to petty larceny and that He had been given a short jail sentence. Judge Pollock thereupon proceeded to give the young man a good lecture. He cautioned him- 6n 'his do^vnward tendencies and admonished him that if he was ever brought before him again, on a bootlegging charge that he would be sentenced to the penitentiary.

It was .tried 11 term, rata a verdict for rded FamM, s effort seems to be prog ress to secure a meeting between the agricultural college and the state uni versity football teams. A year ago both organizations were members of two football conferences. Early this fall the agricultural college withdrew from the state conference and anounc ed as a reason that the teams in it were too small to give them good games. The university soon afterwards announced its withdrawal from the northwest conference, giving as a rea son that the team which had been giv en games by the university, refused to reciprocate. No one questions the right of either institution withdrawing from either*or both conferences, if desired. Any one familiar with the A. C. play will not feel alarmed over the outcome of a meeting between the A. C. and the U., after seeing the game by the university here Wednesday against the Fargo College. All kinds of :saay i'argo College. All kinds of money would be put up by Fargoans that th "farmers" could pile up a score of 40 against the Forkers in a game of full thirty-five minute halves. The U. management has put up the howl of "professionalism" against the A. C. team. The agricultural college numbers some boys among the aggre gation who play baseball in the sum mer and earn money to pursue their studies. For years the university had such men as Flanagan and Skulason, stArs on the team. They played professional baseball and played with the U. foot ball team. The U. management evi dently didn't regard it as a sin—then. At present there are men on the U. team who are said to have received money for playing baseball. In fact there is nothing in the rules against professional baseball players playing football, and both the A. C. and the U. have a perfect right to play such men 011 the football "teams. Just where the U. management comes in on its big howl is not known. Added to the employment of profes sional baseball players, the U. goes the A. C. one better. Last year it played a professional coach in Haggerty. This year it has a professional sprint er on the team in Shadenbach. Less than a month before entering the uni versity Shadenbach ran a race for the North Dakota championship at James town for $100 a side. The fact wa? widely advertised. At that the U. has a perfect right to play him on the foot ball team and no objections are made! It comes with bad grace for the U. to make a kick on professionalism, however, with professional players on its 'team. Visiting players at Grand Forks kick on the treatment they receive. If the kicks weTe infrequent there might be some truth in the charges they were un founded, but it is the exception that there is no kick. Something must be wrong when the teams are so unani mous in their protests against the U. crowd. The U. has been unable this year to fget a game with a single team outside the state that ever played there. What is the reason for this? Only one team from without the state has been at the Forks—the South Dakota Uniyersity—and the players were bitter in their denunciation of their treatment. Where there is so much protest— something must be wrong. The A. C. has played with a number of strong aggregations from other states and the people of Fargo are proud of the boys and their splendid record. The A. C. relations with all teams except the N. D. U. are most amicable. The U. puts in a claim for the state championship. Only one team has met the U. and the A. C. That was the APT ILLUSTRATION. How Fout & Potterfkld Showed the Dffi» to a Fonim & RcptibUcM Man* A Forum & Republican man Was talking with Mr. Porterfield of the firm of Fout & Porterfield, lately, discussing a very interesting subject, when Mr. Porterfield said: v "See here, I'll show you now Just what I mean.' He went out and soon returned with a bit of board and two bottles. Rest ing one end of the board on the coun ter, he supported the other end with his fingers, and poured on the board from one of the bottles a drop of thick, oily substance, which slowly oozed down the slope. Then Mr. Porterfield took the other bottle and poured out just a drop of a clear, delicious, dark red liquid. This drop shot down the incline in the twinkling of an eye. "The first bottle." said Mr. Porter field, "is the old-fashioned cod liver oil, or emulsion, as it is called. The sec brtd bottle contains Vinol. See how Mbwly the emission creeps along the ward/ It is thick, sluggish, unwhole wme. But the Vinol dainek to the ^bottom a,t Once, These two substances at£t Mke this in the human body—the \cod liver oil is so thick and clogging that it merely upsets digestion, and its ^medicinal value is lost, while Vinol ^toes at once to the seat of the trouble ami corrects the difficulty by creating .ftp appetite and building up the strength eral h«*tt!L il, you know, is a cod tivef Qll tjon, And, while it ca^jMna fttt medicinal elements have eod liver oil leable for Range Specialty. South Dakota University. Grand Forks won from them 6 to o. The A. C. gained a victory of 22 to o. To everyone except the Granfl Forks bunch that was sufficient proof of the strength of the two aggregations but despite this fact the Grand Forks pa pers announce the U. has won the state championship. That's more nerve than even the average Forker has heretofore been credited with. F. tt: S.-MOORHEAD NORMALS Tomorrow afternoon the annual game between the Fargo High -School and the Moorhead Normal football teams will be played on the normal grounds. The game will be an interest ing contest. v- :v v THE A. C: ALUMNI The first team men say that they will provide wheel barrows to cart off the alumni. The band will be at the game and all the graduates of the college will be on hand to yell for the alumni team. In the second half, the full second eleven will be pitted against the first team.

Next week the famous Flandreau In dian team of South Dakota will be here and with this game the local sea son will. be finished. Every man on the alumni team is a star. Tom Manns, who will captain the team, has been the mainstay of the A. C. eleven for the past six years and has materially aided in the many victories of A. C. over Grand Forks. Professor Norton was a famous guard on the Missouri University eleven Professor Perrot played tackle on the Kansas eleven Dr. Wheeler was the best all-around athlete that Grinnell College ever turned out. At one time he had the U. S. record in the hop-skip and jump event. Tot French is known to all Fargoans for his speed and head work. Claude Nugent, in the early days of A. C. football, was considered by the Forks as their most dangerous oppo nent Professor McArdle, Fallis, Mc Guigan and Fred Jensen were recog nized as stars on the A. C. eleven. The game should be exciting and extremely interesting. HATLEY-SPEARS WINNERS.'
