<br />aATURP*Y FEBRUARY 1. 1908.
<br />A Targe number of our subs'"ibera
<br />have complied . with the new post
<br />office regulations during the past two
<br />weeks, the yellow labels showing a
<br />decided change for the better. The
<br />weeding out process begins next
<br />mouth, and it is hoped that very.
<br />few names, if any, will have to be
<br />eliminated from the mailing lists for
<br />want of payment in advance. It, is
<br />just as easy to pay at the beginning
<br />as at the end of the year, when the
<br />habit is fully acquired, and much
<br />more satisfactory to all concerned.
<br />The department of agriculture de-
<br />cides that the car of flour from the
<br />Gardner Mill, held in Chicago last
<br />week, wan ma labeled according to
<br />the provisions of the pure food law,
<br />which is denied by Mr. Carter, and
<br />the matter may go to the courts for
<br />final determination. It is a question
<br />of interest to butt millers and grain
<br />growers, the point raised by the de-
<br />partment being that durum is not a
<br />hard .spring wheat.
<br />An important amendment to the
<br />law creating toe nshiproad overseers
<br />appears to have met the same fate as
<br />that redecing the salary of the pub-
<br />lic exailiiiier. beim/ omitted from the
<br />enrolled hill signed by the governor.
<br />It was to give towns an option of
<br />changing to the new law, and was
<br />adopted by both houses. The re-
<br />sponsibility, of course, rests with
<br />some irresponsible clerk.
<br />It is estimated that ten per cent of
<br />our fires are caused by the careless
<br />use of matches, upwards of $600,000
<br />annually. If people would use -noth-
<br />ing but sulphur or safety matches a
<br />large proportion of this loss would be
<br />avoided. It is the so called parlor
<br />e Batch that is particularly dangerous.
<br />.1. Adam Bede suggests that a
<br />matrimonial bureau be established'by
<br />the government, to give the women a
<br />chance to do the proposing, under
<br />,civil service rules. In outer words,
<br />to eliminate the serpent from future
<br />Allam and Eve stunts.
<br />The place foD.l. F. Jacobson is in
<br />the house of representatives, as
<br />chairman of the committee on appro-
<br />priations. where be would be worth
<br />a hundred fold more to the state
<br />and the tax payers than in the
<br />governor's chair. •
<br />James Jlanahan, of St. Paul, has
<br />filed complaints with the railroad
<br />commissioners against the Northern
<br />Pacific and (;rent Northern, claiming
<br />that the two roads are receiving over
<br />$100.000 a yetir overweights on live
<br />stock shipments.
<br />Dr T.. E. W. V. Appleby, of St.
<br />Paul. although drawing an annuity
<br />of $10 000 from the A., H. Wilder
<br />estate by marriage, has defaulted in
<br />a grocery bill of $273. Why not lop
<br />off some of the name and go to work?
<br />Israel Skoll, a Poland Jew living
<br />in Minneapolis at the age of one
<br />hundred and one years, is planning for
<br />his one hundred and ,tenth birthday.
<br />He confidently believes that he will
<br />be alive and active Dec. 17th, 1916.

<br />The government has abolished the
<br />cruse of surveyor general in this
<br />state: the records to be turned over
<br />to the secretary of state, with M.
<br />C. Lund, of Wabasha, as deputy in
<br />charge.
<br />The state board of pardons has
<br />commuted the. death sentence of M.
<br />S. >lunn, the Beltrami murderer, to
<br />imprisonment for life. According to
<br />precedent this is about .twenty five
<br />years. "'t

<br />The St. Paul Pioneer Press appears
<br />to have been retained for the defense
<br />in the Brennan murder trial.

<br />The district court re -convened ou
<br />Tuesday at ten a. m., Judge F. M.
<br />Crosby presiding, for the trial of

<br />.Brennan, of Lakeville, indicted for
<br />murder in the first degree, the killing
<br />of Anthony Brennan, Aug. 27th.

<br />by William Hodgson, county attorney,
<br />and H. J. Peck, of Shakopee. 8 J.
<br />Donnelly, of St. Paul, and Albert
<br />Schaller have charge of the defense
<br />• The circumstances are substantially
<br />as follows: Anthony Brennan was a
<br />web known farmer, the fatality being
<br />the result of a quarrel over the dis
<br />paced boundary line between the
<br />farms of Michael N. Brennan, father
<br />of Michael Brennan, and the murder-
<br />ed man. It appears that Anthon3
<br />was plowing in the field, acd was
<br />ordered to keep off the line. A heat-
<br />ed controversy followed, Michael
<br />being struck across the jaw with a
<br />wooden paddle by Anthony, and the
<br />latter shot in the 'Stomach by Mich-
<br />ael, who was placed under arrest,
<br />and bis father held as accessory.
<br />Ther principals in the unfortunate
<br />tragedy are not related.
<br />The following jurors were selected,
<br />the first nine being from the original
<br />panel:
<br />William Teare, Nininger, farmer.
<br />T. H. Prince, South St. Paul, contractor.
<br />William Baer. Inver Groye, farmer.
<br />Henry Fink, Greenvale, farmer.

<br />J. E. Nordstrom, Hastings, web driller.
<br />Lambert Boles, Hastings, liveryman.
<br />F. J. Wayman. Coates, saloon keeper.
<br />J. J. Schmitz, Hastings, vet. surgeon.
<br />The trial began on Wednesday, Wil-
<br />liam Hodgson, county attorney, ad-
<br />dressing the jury and briefly outlining
<br />the case. The first witness was C. A.
<br />Forbes, county surveyor, who sub-
<br />mitted a plat of the two pieces of
<br />land occupied by the parties in ques-
<br />tion, and upon which the murder was
<br />committed. William Brennan, of St.
<br />Paul, said that he was in Lakeville
<br />the day his brother was shot, and
<br />saw him about fifteen minutes before
<br />he died. Dr. T. J. Gaffney, of
<br />Lakeville, testified that he attended
<br />Anthony Brennan in his dying mo -
<br />writs. Dr. R. 8. J. Perry and Dr.
<br />W. M. Dodge, of Farmington, that the
<br />poet mortem held by them indicated
<br />that death resulted from a gun shot
<br />wound, the bullet entering the left
<br />side and lodged in the right, a thirty-
<br />eight calibre. Dr. Dodge also stated
<br />that he was present when A thony
<br />died. Edward H. Brennan, o St.
<br />Paul, a son of Anthony, and the
<br />eye witness, testified that be and his
<br />father were plowing in the field Aug.
<br />27th, when the latter was accused of
<br />trespass by Michael N. Brennan, saw
<br />him beckon to Michael to come down
<br />from the barn, heard his father called
<br />a liar, saw the blow with the paddle,
<br />and that Michael shot three times. He
<br />was then about twenty-six rods away,
<br />driving towards them. The incidents
<br />of going after a buggy, taking his
<br />father home, and telephoning for Dr.
<br />Gaffney were detailed in a very few
<br />words, and the positions in the field
<br />located upon the map. John Bre
<br />nan, of Lakeville, a cousin or
<br />Anthony, was at the house that day,
<br />and heard W. F. Roche tell bim that
<br />be was in a precarious condition and
<br />had better make an ante mortem
<br />statement, which was done. W. F.
<br />Roche, of Lakeville,' identified the
<br />ante mortem statement taken by him,
<br />and now in the possession of the
<br />county attorney. Miss Annie Bren•
<br />nan, of St. Paul, a sister of Anthony,
<br />was banded the wooden paddle by.
<br />Edward after the occurrence. Ed-
<br />ward Burke, of Si.:Paul,ap uncle of
<br />Anthony, told of certain threat;
<br />which Michael N. Brennan had made
<br />some three or four years ago.
<br />The taking of testimony for tbe
<br />state was resumed Thursday morning.
<br />M. L. Spellaey, marshal of Lake-
<br />ville, testified that he arrested Mich-
<br />ael N. Brennan and Michael Brennan
<br />shortly after the -murder, the old
<br />man in town and the young man at
<br />his home. Mrs. Anthony Brennan,
<br />now living in 8t. Paul, said that
<br />her husband's age at the time of his
<br />death was forty-six years, and they
<br />bad five children. She told of her
<br />son bringing his father front the field,
<br />telling her that he had been shot.
<br />She described the garments that he
<br />wore, identifying' the overrlls and
<br />knife offered i4 evidence. Albert
<br />Batten, a blind man from Lakeville,
<br />said he knew Michael N. Brennan,
<br />and started to tell of some trouble
<br />between bim and Anthony abouta
<br />year ago, which was stricken out.
<br />Thomas O'Connell, of Lakeville,
<br />testified as to location of roadway
<br />and ownership of, lad, and to con -
<br />account of tmuhle with Anthony.
<br />W. A. Gray, justice of the peace in
<br />Farmington, produced records show-
<br />ing that Michael N. Brennau had
<br />been arrested for making threats
<br />and placed under bonds to keep the
<br />pesos.. The court ordered this testi-
<br />Loony stricken out, on motion of
<br />counsel for defense. Emery Norton,
<br />of Lakeville, stated that in passing
<br />rear of jail in Lakeville that evening
<br />he heard the young man tell his fa-
<br />ther that he wouldn't have been put
<br />there only for him. The state then
<br />rested.
<br />At two p. m. Albert Schaller opened
<br />• for the defense, with a concise vers -
<br />slop of the affair from their standpoint.
<br />W. L. Kelly, jr., a- St. Paul at-
<br />torney, testified as to the quiet
<br />' and peaceful disposition of Mich.
<br />ael N. Brennan and Michael Bren
<br />nan, and finding it always agree
<br />able to transact business with them.
<br />T. J. Green, a deputy sheriff of 8t
<br />Paul, also referred to the peaceable
<br />and quiet demeanor of both tbe Bren-
<br />tano while in hie custody. L. H
<br />Geroo, a 81. Paul jailer in charge
<br />of the Brennans bad -noticed a
<br />swelling or bruise upon one side of
<br />the young man's fine after he bad
<br />been placed in jail. Michael N.
<br />Brennan- stated tbat he lived in
<br />Lakeville over seven years; that
<br />his trade, before engaging at farm
<br />ing was that of railroad black-
<br />smith; that be was bora Jan. 8th,
<br />1826; that be bad never served in the'
<br />army; that Anthony Brennan threat-
<br />ened that if be bought the land be
<br />would put him out of the premises if it
<br />took an ounce of leach() do it; another
<br />time Anthony tolls him 11"he wouldn't
<br />give backsthat land he would make
<br />trouble for him; that on the morning
<br />of the shooting he happened to be on
<br />his farm picking wild mustard; that
<br />Anthony was plowing, and after
<br />they met apd engaged in a contro-
<br />versy, he told him that he couldn't
<br />buy back that land, and to keep off
<br />the line, that he bad plowed over it;
<br />they gave each other the lie, and
<br />Anthony made for him with a knife,
<br />when he placed hie band in his pocket
<br />upon bis revolver, but didn't draw
<br />it. Michael Brennan then came
<br />along and told his father to come
<br />home with him. He took the re-
<br />volver away from his father, and
<br />Anthony, becoming angry, assaulted
<br />Michael with a paddle, striking him
<br />over the jaw. Michael fired a shot,
<br />and, Anthony still charging upon
<br />him with knife drawn, a second shot
<br />was fired. He didn't see Anthony
<br />drop to the ground. He and his eon
<br />then went up to the . house and he
<br />took the revolver and hid it in the
<br />corn crib. Mrs. Mary Brennan, wife
<br />of Michael N. Brennan, said that she
<br />lived in St. Paul with her daughter,
<br />and upon hearing of the murder she
<br />visited the jail, and noticed a bruise
<br />on the side of Michael's face. Al-
<br />bert Schaller said fie saw Michael the
<br />next day atter they were brought to
<br />St. Paul, and that his face was
<br />swollen and the right side discolored.
<br />Michael N. Brennan was recalled
<br />yesterday morning by the state, ad-
<br />mitting that wben plowing in 1906 be
<br />carried a revolver. Mrs. Michael N.
<br />Brennan stated that she was at home
<br />two years ago last August, when the
<br />last payment on the land wait made,
<br />and told of threats and atones thrown
<br />at the house. Michael Brennan testi

<br />went down was because be saw
<br />Anthony coming towards his father,
