INSANITY
OF BARRY
Deffitiste Is Miking a Strong Effort
to Prove That Barry Had Tem
porary "Nutty" Streaks.
•E^rts" Testify That He Was Af
flicted With Epileptic Insanity
and Was Irresponsibly
Lttftgdon, N. D., Nov.' 24.—l)r.
Sweeney of Si. Paul, employed by the
=. -defense to give expert testimony upon
vthe
mental condition of William Barry,
charged with the murder of Mellum,
was on the stand all the forenoon, and
"testified that he believed Barry was
suffering from epileptic insanity. On
cross-examination by Nye, Dr. Sweeney
.said that much of his opinion was based
on what Barry had told him after the
murder about not' remembering what
transpired that day. He further stated
that the defendant could have done
those things and not remember about
v it afterwards that he might have been
just as liable to have killed his sister,
Mary Ann, as Mellum, while suffering
••,••• *from epileptic insanity that a person
in that state cart act either on a motive
or without one. but generally without
v any preconceived plan that even through
he had planned on killing Mellum for
several days he could still have ac
'complished it and not know what he was
.-doing: that he could remember just what
he did, and could tell different people
about the circumstances while in that
state.
But after he came out of it he would
have no recollection of what he did
(except what he might infer from see
ding the results after coming to his
senses that if Barry had recollected
what he did on Jan. 3, then he was
not insane. Dr. Sweeney admitted that
he was employed by the defense at $ioo
a day. He testified at the former trial.
The line of defense that .Mary Ann
_JB.arry killed Mellum has evidently been
'. cither neglected or abandoned, as but
very little, if any, evidence has been
brought out to substantiate that claim.
On the cross-examination of Wil
son Cox a few new pojnts were brought
-Barry since boyhood. He was in
^charge of him from Jan. 3, until he
turned him over the next day. He
•f ilslept with him that night at the North
£?/westerrf Hotel.
||8 "As soon as I moved in bed," said
fijhe witness, "he grabbed me' by the
jjjshoulder and said: 'Is that you An
^fdrew?' I said it was fne, and he then
let go. He got up and we went down

Ejected of the Mlimeapolls Murder.
v.' Minneapolis, Nov. 24.—Officers be
lieve they may have the third man
wanted in the Battalia murder case.
Inquiry from Churchs Ferry, N. D.,
said that tWo men had been arrested
'there. They were described in a way
that leads to'the belief that the right
men have been taken, and a message
has been sent instructing the Churchs
i Ferry officials to hold the men until
local officers artive.
One of the pair answers closely the
description of the man described by
.Conductor Soucie. He wears a long,
'dask mustache, has dark clothes, is
about 45 ytears old, and has a bad
wound on his right thumb. He carries
a bible with him. This he studies much
of the time. He is. very nervous.
The other man is smaller and dark
with a dark mustache. He shows the
same nervousness that his companion

24.—Sel­
dom in this city has more interest been
taken in a pugilistic encounter than is
now manifested regarding tomorrow
night's contest between George Gard
ner and Robert Fitzsimmons for the
light heavyweight championship. Bet
ting, however, has been comparatively
light at the prevailing odds of 2 to 1
fight the
battle of their lives. Both will tip the
scalfes close to the stipulated weight of
168 pounds.
In the opinion of close critics of the
fighting game the disadvantage of
years which Fitzsimmons labors under
will be the deciding factor in the con
test. The fight will show whether Fitz
simmons is a? good as ever or has
started on the down grade in his pro
fession. Gardner is young and strong,
and unless Fitzsimmo«s himself should
furnish the exception, is the best fight
er of his weight in the world. He has
a fierce, forceful style of fighting, bear
ing his rival ^down with a furious,
ceaseless batering, always plunging
in and never giving his opponent a
chance to rest.
In Fitzsimmons Gardner will find a
man who is not to be rattled, no mat
ter how fast the battle comes to him,
and he always has his fearful knockout
blow ready. He is well acquainted with
the mannerisms of Gardner in the ring
and it is the pjevaliing opinion that the
latter will have to put up a better fight
tomorrow night than he did in his last
battle with jack Root at Buffalo if he
is to retain the championship title.

THE STORE QUESTION*
Some Plain Facts About MayviUe Told by The
Tribune.
Mayyille Tr.ibuje.-.
f,.
There is no reason to be discouraged
about that, however. Cash receipts at
the depot this month for incoming
freight, merchandise and supplies, are
larger than they ever were before,
demonstrating our volume of business
4 is .larger than it ever was before. Every
business man that was here ten years
ago is better off than he ever was be
fore. Our farmers are nearly all on
"easy street" Farm lands have more
than cjcmbled jn valufe and the price of
real, estate in town or country is up
ward all the time. The one draw back
has been the small growth in popula
tion, speaking of the county, for as far
as the towns are .concerned Mayville
has done as^ell if not a little better
than its neighbors. In all else, in its

HAVE ANOTHER
BAD SCANDAL
TUe..
Jact tlut,
Mayville has less stores now than it
had ten years ago is often a subject of
comment and ^generally looked upon as
an indication that the town has not
progressed ag rapidly as it should. It
is probably true that the number of
business places ten years ago equalled
that we now have, but if there is rea
son to decry our growth in that respect
there is reason to approvg of ihfr
growth and increased solidity of the
firms we now have. Our business
places today carry larger stocks, are
of a more substantial order and are
here to stay, 'lhe day of the transient
store is passed in this community,
lhat, for one thing, explains why there
are fewer stores. It takes capital now
to erect a brick building and carry a
stock that could successfully compete
with the old established merchants,
who not only carry larger stocks than
they ever did before, but have all the
prestige of a long acquaintance and a
thorough knowledge of the wants of
the community. Men with 'the capital
to establish such a store pass us by.
Another reason that we have no more
business places than we had ten years
ago is explained by an analysis of the
last census. We have not grown. A
growth of 3,000 in the decade from
1890 to 1900 for Traill County repre
sents only a natural increase in popu
lation. We have had no immigration
since 1890. The high price of land here,
the big farms and the lack of oppor
tunities open to new-comers easily ex
plain why immigration has passed by
to greenerfields, to the west and north
west part of the state, where cheap
farm lands and new towns offer better
advantages to all classes, whether mer
chant, farmer or artisan. Watch the
real estate transfers and note to whom
the unsuccessful farmer, or the farmer
who for any other reason leaves the
county, sells his land. To his success
ful neighbor or a succesful townsman,
every time! The successful farmer has
invariably added to his holdings, until
today we verily believe there arc less
individual land owners in Traill Coun
ty than there were ten years ago. It
is not to be wondered at we have not
more stores. We have stores enough
to supply the population, the increased
stock they carry offsetting the slight
increase of population in town and
country. As in Mayville so it is in
Hillsboro and other Traill County
towns.

BRUTAL ROBBERY NEAR KNOX
1 Two Men Badly Beaten and Robbed by a Pair
of Crooks.
Knox Advocate: One of the worst
crimes that has been committed in this
section of the country for a long time
occurred last Saturday night down
near Sand Lake, about twelve miles
south of town. The following account
is one furnished us by one well ac
quainted with the details of the affair,
and is undoubtedly correct. It seems
that Andrew Brurud, of this place, ac
companied by a friend, Tom Lee, was
returning from Esmond. They drove
up to Albert Broe's place, later in the
evening. Here they met Frank Opsahl
and another fellow, whose name we
cannot ascertain. Mr. Lee had a bottle
of liquor with him, with which he treat
ed the crowd several times, and Mr.
Brurud, becoming alarmed at the shape
affairs were assuming, became very
anxious to leave. Frank Ops.ahl jump
ed into the buggy with him and pro
posed that they drive over to a neigh
boring house, where there were some
young ladies, and they wcmld have a
dance. He directed the way, and upon
arriving at the place, the house was
found to be entirely deserted. They
turned .around and had proceeded half
way back, when they were met by
Opsahl's companion, who grabbed the
team. Opsahl jumped out, dragging
Brurud with him. They then jumped
upon him and pounded him in a fearful
manner, tearing the clothes nearly all
off him. They took his watch and $12
in money, which was all he had on
him, and then led him back to the
shack. Here Opsahl left him and start
ed in the house, saying as he started,
"if you move you are a dead man."
Brurud, thinking he had gone for a
club to finish him with, made a des
perate dash for liberty, holding his
clothes on as he ran. He finally land
ed, exhausted and bleeding, at the
house of Even Braaten, and sank to
the ground. He called them out, first
telling them that he had been robbed
and beaten. They came out, took him
in, where he related his story, where
upon Mr. Braaten and another man
started out to look for the robbers.
They had not proceeded far until they
came upon the apparantly lifeless body
of Lee, lying in a ditch, his general ap
pearance indicated that he had receiv
ed w'Of'Se treatment than his friend.
They took him home where he soon
came around and recovered somewhat.
All the nearest railroad points were
immediately notified, and the sheriff
sent for at once. Their capture has
not been reported here as yet, but
they will undoubtedly be apprehended,
and when they are, they will certainly
get their just deserts for this dastardly
outrage. Opsahl has served one peni
tentiary sentence or part of one—hav
ing been pardoned after serving three
years on a twelve year sentence.
They had also relieved Lee of $20
i^j.nwjriey and a bunch of notes.

PRINTED CARDS OF THANKS.
Bditor Ward well Pointedly Discuspes Two Ob
noxious Customs.
^embina Piofteer Expressr Public
newspapbr acknowledgements of favors
shown may sometimes be, but rarely
are, in good taste. It is only politeness
to express gratitude on the proper oc
casion and in the proper place, but it
is quite possible to overdo the thing.
Published thanks for kindnesses of
friends and neighbors in cases of death
and funerals in ordinary cases are un
necessary and uncalled for. There is
no doubt of the gratitude of the surviv
ing friends and the fact does not need
publication, any more than such facts
as that the surviving friends are also
honest, or truthful, or moral. In most
cases, if the persons obliged feel a spec
ial obligation it is a debt that can be
discharged when the death angel or
other trouble comes to other house
holds. No newspaper man inserts a
card of thanks without a feeling of re
vulsion, not because it takes time to
put it in type because it seems to him
so out of place and unnecessary.
But bad as the funeral card is, the
publication of lists of wedding pres
ents is far worse. They are also in the
nature of public thanks for what is
really a private gift which from its very
nature has no right to general publicity
outside of immediate friends of the
parties. To publish such a list is to
invite public comparison and comment
as to the relative liberality of the giv
ers. In nearly all lists sent fpr publi
cation there are many insignificant
trifles. As printed they seem almost
a reflection on the liberality of the
givers to the stranger readers, and yet
the value of a gift is not all in its cost.
It is not fair and right to publish such
things for the cold comparison of
strangers who know but little or noth
ing of the hearts or circumstances that
are behittd the gifts. Custom in this
case makes it the duty of the bride to.
acknowledge the receipts of the gifts
by letter. The publication in a. news
paper is a/ gross transgression of the
lies, of politeness, only condoned by
tj^ict that the recipients ate really

ASPHALT IS NOT A SUCCESS.
The Northwestern Climate Seems to Be Too
Severe for Asphalt Pavinsr.
Minneapolis Journal: Asphalt pave
ment is a failure in this climate, about
this time every year. When there is a
thin coating of ice or of snow over the
pavement, but not enough to furnish any
inequalities of surface, the streets are
practically impassable for heavily laden
teams, and even carriage horses have to
pick their way mincingly. The kind of
asphalt we have in Minneapolis has not
vindicated itself at any other season of
the year either. It wears out faster than
it can be repaired,' witli the result that
the stVeets are always full of unsightly
and jolting holes. Where there are not
depressions there are apt to be small
hills caused by the tendency of the as
uhalt to buckle. Other cities, it is true,
have had more favorable experiences
with asphalt, but they didn't get the
Minneapolis kind, and we don't seem to
be able to get any other.
TOWNER NEEDS LIGHTS.
Toiler.Jlews a»jkSiockroau .,it is,
certainly a shame that Towner cannot
affprd to maintain even a few street
lamos. There are a number, of street
lamps in town but for the want of some
one to care for them they are gone to
wreck. A stranger in the town on a
dark night is in as much of a quandry
where to go as if he were in the jungles
of Africa. Especially is this true of
going or returning from the depot. Not
only is it disagreeable but it is danger
ous as well. Either the town or the
railroad company should be compelled
to keep the' railroad crossing and walk
along the track to the depot lighted.
If the town can afford a few lights it
had better go out of business. We
would like to know what the town mar
shal is drawing a salary for? As long
as the whiter has been in the to\yn he
has failed to see a marshal render a
cent's worth of service to the town.

A SUICIDE NEAR WYNDMERE.
Young Man Made Elaborate and Successful
Arrangements for Shuffling: Off.
Wyndmere Pioneer: Martin Ruddy,
tft'ho has been working as a farm hand
011 George Blake's place eight miles
southwest of Wyndmere committed
suicide at 8:30 p. m. Tuesday evening
by shooting himself in the head with a
shot gun in the barn loft.
The young man had previously plan
ned a very ingenious sort of a trap at
one end of the barn, where there was
an opening in the floor between the
joists to feed the stock. 'Die butt end
of the shotgun was tied to the joist
with a rope, and only a part of the
barrel above the floor, which was ar
ranged at such an angle that in a
crouching position he could have his
right eye in line with the end of the
barrel. He then took a straight edge,
tied one end of it to the trigger, and
the other end left loose, but supported
in the center by placing a milk stool
under it. Thus by looking straight in
to the barrel of the gun and with a
slight shove on the straight edge the
whole contents of the gun was dis
charged in his right eye.
Ill health is said to have been the
cause of his committing the rash act.
The young man camc from Packen
ham, Ontario, about two years ago,
and had been working for George
Blake for a year and a half. He was a
victim of chronic dyspepsia and at
times became very gloomy and des
pondent, but was always thought to
be perfectly sane. The first that was
noticed of anything strange in his ac
tions was last Monday on returning
from town, when the peculiar appear
ance and conduct of the youth caused
a little suspicion. His demeanor on
the following day was the same, which
led Mrs. Blake to doubt his sanity. In
the evening after the chores were done,
George Blake laid down on the lounge
for a nap, and in the meantime the lad
went to the barn with the separator
milk to feed the calves. Shortly after
wards a light was noticed in the barn
loft, and it was only a few minutes
afterwards a report was heard. Mr.
Blake was awakened, and going to the
barn, found the boy dead.
The deceased was only 18 years old,
and it seems very sad to think that ill
health often leads even one, just fairly
entering on life's journey, to seek re
lief ifi" "death. "The ''remains were
brought to Wyndmere and sent to
Wahpeton in cart of Undertaker Luns
bury. From there the body will be
shiped to the deceased's former home
in Packenham, Onterio, for burial.

DONNYBROOK ON THE S00.|
The Town Is Rapidly Growing: and in a Splen*
did Farming Region.
ttonnybrbok, N. D., Nov.
23.—To
Thd
Forum: Of all the growing towns on
the Soo west of Minot, none have made
more substantial improvements this year
(with the exception of Kenmarc) thaui
Don nyb rook.
Burke & Wieman have lately erected
a two story brick block, modern in dc-|
sign and finish, which they arc now oc
cupying as a department store, and they
have the second story fitted up as aaj
operahouse.
Mr. Watts of the Watts Hotel is to
be congratulated 011 the completion of$|
his fine three story hotel, now open to«
the public—twenty-two rooms—and the ^3
intrepid salesmen have 110 reason tO
pass Donnybrook by, any longer.
The Bank of Donnybrook is one of
the new financial institutions of the|f
city. The capital is $10,000 and Oscar
C. Olsen, formerly engaged in banking $5
in Watertown, S. D., is cashier. Hist
capable wife, Mrs. Margaret Olsen, is anlg
officer and ably assists him. j?!
C. A. Pctrcson & Co., hardware and y
machinery, are enjoying an excellent
trade and their facilities are appreciated^
by a large army of customers.
Donnybrook at one time had the repu
tation of being a blind pig town, buti^
the citizens by the aid of the sheriff |g
of Ward County, have driven them out
and it is becoming naturally a better jfp
resident town. We understand a village
government is to be instituted soon j|ij
which will hold any outcropping vicious*'pj
ness of traveling bums under control. ||j
The coolies, which nearly jut up to the t|fi
village are filled with timber and the ||q
groves would naturally make nice pic-fe
nic grounds in summer, in addition to |p
this, the Des Lacs lakes are hot far off,
which can be utilized for purposes of
recreation.
Donnybrook has a number of lig
nitc coal mines, very near and clays art|
plentiful so with a good

country, extending twenty mil
