OVERDID THE MATTER.
North Dakota lIol IlangH Two of
tho
State's JJest Witnesses.
Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 10. An inter
esting legal question Is presented by
Sunday's lynching of throe of the
Splcer Indian murderers. Two of tho
men, Holy Track and Ireland, were
tho state's witnesses, and without
their testimony the state has no case
against the two surviving suspects,
Blackhawk and Defender. There is,
therefore, now no possibility of con
victing them before any tribunal, for
the reason that the state's witnesses,
self-confessed accomplices of the mur
derers, aro dead. At the coming term
of court, when the two men aro ar
raigned for trial, they must be dis
missed. It is predicted, however, that
if th two men are discharged thoy
will never get away alive.

never openly opposed any of my billu. ,But

it a crime for any man, woman or child to

to urge my bill.
"When I offeicd a hill forbidding any per

the age of 21, Skinley was soon on deck
with another bill prohibiting any young,

However, with butter in view, sho began

"I did my best," she explained to thd

it was nil in vain."
"Butter!" exclaimed the hostess. "What
