fkaa RnkmI r'oand ttullty f Murder
In the Meeond Degree.
Tkc TrUI.
The second Russell trial has gone down
in history. The description that follows
tell the story of tlie second trial in a very
graphic manner. The jury brought
in a verdict yesterday afternoon. Mur
der in the second dagrje is this verdict.
Three days are allowed by law for the
tilin? of a mo'.ion for a new trial' before
the sentence is pronounced.
Chadron,, jseb., Jan. , 1.2 After a
trial which lasted all tlu week the
fate of Charles Uussell the slayer of
Louis Staudenraaler, is now in the
hands ot a jury. It will We remember
ed that this case was tried In Sioux
county,, where the crime is alleged to
have been committed, auil the de
fendant wa convicted of murder in
tlte Brut decree and the cane was ap
pealed to the supreme court. That
tribunal reverted the judgment of the
district court and remanded the cane
for a re trial.
A motion was then made for a
change of venue on the ground of
the prejudice against the Je.fendr.nt
in Sioux county and Judfe Harring
ton of O'Neil, who presided, granted
tkc motion and ordered Cie case lo
lie tried in Dawes cotiuty.
More than fortyx witnesses from
SUnix county have been In attendance
all the week and much interest is be-1
injr taken in the outcome. The larye
court room would hardly accomodate
the bpecalors. The defendant was
represented by .Judge .A. V. ('rites
and V. II. Fanning of Crawford and
the state by County Attorney M. J.
O'Connell of Sioux county and M. F,
Harrington of O'Ncil.
The evidence against the accused
is purely circumstantial.
The murdered man was found oh the
prairie with' eleven bullet holes
through his body one bullet lay upon
his wrist, a if placed there as an aci
of bravat-o. The evidence tended to
chow that the bullets taken from the
deceased's body were molded in the
mold of the defendant from the fact
they had a Haw that was found In the
r. old. ,
Tracks were also found of a horse
from where the body lay to the de
fendants house. The tracks were
made by a horse that had a piece cut
out o one -oL,lbe horse 'a hojfw ami
defendant's horse had a piece out of
his hoof. It ftrfs aim shown he was in
iK ui.-initr n( the ul.'uu; where de-
- , i
ceaHed was found early in the morn-'
itig the crime wascommitted. It ws
also shown that beuasa bitter enemy
of the murdered man and had threat
ened to kill him several times. The
defendant proved an alibi by the
members of his family, which prac
tically was all the defense he had.
The attorneys were nrgns the
case all day and the jury was In
structed at tl o'clock Saturday even
ing. M. J. O'Connell. county attorney
ot Sioux county, opened for the state
in a lengthy and exhaustive argu
ment of the evidence.
Judge Wcstover then instructed
the jury on the law covering the case.
Ills instructions covered every phase
'of the ease and were very explicit.
During the argument of tbe case
the father of the defendant had stat
ed be was going to kill Harrington as
lie feared hi argument would eon
vict hi ton. This wa brought to the
att cntion of the court and he in
structed Sheriff VV, F. IJurdsallto find
Mr, Kussell and search hi in and If
armed to place him under arrest. He
wag searched, but no firearms ere
found on his person. It is thought he
his Included ever the matter so much
that he m a little unbalanced. Dur
ing the cloing argument the sheriff
and his luliff Vept close watch to see
that be di' not enter the court room.
I All through the trial the court
room wat crowded and much Interest
is taken in the result of the case.
Opinion Is divided a to the outcome.

it pays to patronize your home merchants

Ifear Sir;
We are in receipt of your favor of

do not handle iimi'd of our goods and
w hile on its lace both reasmis are good,
.is a matter of fact, we think that you j
are takiug u somewhat radical view of
the Kitualion. We do not offer yon the
same goods that we furnish to Mont
gomery Ward & Co. by considerable
maj irity.
While the extei ior apearance is the
same, you know catalog houses well
enough to know that every article thy
handle is cheapened to the utmost liolli
in workmanship, material and ingevery
other way possible to cut a cent off of
tbe original cost. We guarantee our
goods to you for three years and in turn
Von can guarantee them to your custo
mer for three, years knowing that you
are aimnlutely protected. -
Get Montgomery Ward & Co. or any
other mail order house to do this on
their couches which they offer !o cheap
and you will find that they will sumniar-
it v turn yon uun. iney u.-ro m,n iwv
tom construction whereas we use the
guaranteed wire constructed which adds
$1.50 to tbe original cost. They use
largely e.icelssor tilling while we use
tow, moss and in some instances, hair
tilling which increases the cost another
. .. .m. ... .. . 1
$1.00, and taking all t.hase matters to
gether, we think that vou can very suc
cessfully down this sort of competition
and we will assist you in doing so, if you
handle our gocds.
We tliank you for your very prompt
reply to our letter and tlie frank manner
in which you express yourself, and
trnst that our explanation gtven above
may induce you to change your decision
not to handle our goods."

A Balanced Aqunrlou,
One of the sorrows of Dr. Spencer
who is In charge of the Aquarium, is
the persistence with which casual visi
tors plague blm for advice as to how
to build and keep a balanced aquarium.
Such an aquarium Is one in which the
vegetable and animal lives balance
each other so perfectly that it is not
necessary to change the water. Dr.
Speocer has one In which the water
has not been changed for eight years
"Do tell me, Mr. 3pencer," said a girl
graduate from Boston the other day,
"how I can balance an aquarium,- Flrsi
my fish die, and then my water plants
die. and then they both die so fast that
1 feel almost like a murdress every
time I start a new balanced aqilarium."
"It takes several things for a perfectly
balanced aquarium," said the superin
tendent. "You must take planorblnac,
mullusca, fungi, phytozoa or zoophytes
and any member of the class algae."
"Yea," aald the fair Inquirer, "then
what?" "Mix them with foity years
cf experience, miss," said Dr. Spencer.
