SATTBRLUND - Proprietor Manager Published every Friday at Wash, bnrn, McLean Co., N. D. Eotered at the PostnfHce «t Washburn, N. D as Second Class Matter. FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1913 Our Thirtieth Anniversary. For thirty years the Washburn Times and The Leader has been a weekly visitor to nearly every home in McLean cuonty, and its increasing patronage proves that it h 's been a welcome one. Dur- ing the early days there were m,;ny times when the publication of a newspaper wes not a pro- fitable undertaking, but notwith- standing that the Leader had always given th? best it had to give to its readers. It was our intention to cele- with an appropriate special edi- tion this week, but our readers will redily see that from the space necessarily given over to court that this is impossible. We shall carry out this intention at a later date, when the demands npbn our space are not so press- ing, and frill also devote considerable apace to writing up the various settlements of the county in such a way that our readers will be pleased to have. The Leader printing plant to- day is a thoroughly up-to-date newspaper and job printing estab- lishment. It has a complete and splendidly equipped job printing plant, capable of producing high class commercial work in any quantity. With its new Mergan- thaler typesetting machinne, its newspaper is on a par with the large dalies. Elestric lighted, steam heated and equipped with every modem convenience, few newspaper plants in cities many times the size have the splendid equipment of the Leader. This is due as well to the confidennce and patronage of its readers as to the confidence and enterprise of its management, and after thirty years it is pleasing to be able to recount the success of a newspaper enterprisec that began with thg first sattlement of this county. Thirty Years Ago. Thirty years ago this month (June 15, 1883) the Washburn Times was launched on the sea of journalism. John S. Veeder and John Satterlund were the publishers and W. R. Maze, later register of deeds and county clerk of McLean county, was the edi- tor. The Leader is a continua- tion of the Washburn Times and John Satterlund is the pu'blisher- BO the Leader can lay reasonable claims to being thirty years old this June month. John S. "Veed- er who was associated with John Satterlund as publisher of the Times is now a resident of Man- dan and is a conductor on the Northern Pacific railroad. W. R Maze died at Grand Rapids, Mich some fifteen years ago. When the Times was founded thirty yeais ago there was just three buildings in Washburn—ont residence, a store building, and a barn. The Times was published in a small lean-to to the store building which was also occupied as a postoffice. Considerable of the land near Washburn was homesteaded in th fall of lb82 and in the spring of 1883, but many of the settlers did not actually establish their resi- dences until daring the. summer of 1883.

D., June 13.—The enlarged 320-acre homesteads will be operative in certain parts of North Dakota June 19, accord- ing to the designation of the sec- retary of the interior department! but the plan is unlikely to prove such a boon as may have been anticipated by some people. The designations, as a rule, are on petitions filed by prospective homesteaders. There are some of these lands that, from the arable portions of two quarters almost as much of a farm can be secured as from one good quarter and there will be the additional advantage of having another quarter for pasture, but in many cases the lands will be so rough there will be only a compara- tively small proportion of each quarter that is arable. Another difficulty will be in securing two quarters that are both desirable and contiguous. The earlier hom seekers took choice quarters here and there, and left the total area considerable honeycombed. Those settlers who had taken homesteads can now acquire an additional quarter. By making improve- ments for both on their origional homesteads and using the new claims for pasturage they can make the new deal highly bene- ficial. The fact that the Great North- ern is building through this ter- ritory is making the lands much more in demand than they would be under other conditions. taken at the coroner's inquest. The shed was locked again after the coroner and his jury left, and the walls of the shed were not ex- ! amined till two weeks later. While his attroney, Mr. 'Bangs, | was examining the bullet and the j jacket, Anderson leaned over his shoulder v and looked at the bullet and jacket with intense in- terest. Deputy sheriff Joe Olson, was recalled and testified to being in the shed after the bullet and jack et was found, and that he locked the outside door as had been or- dered by assistant state's attorney Madden. He did not see the jacke the day it was found but he was there ,and saw the bullet when Frank Thomposn found it. identified it in court. He was given the pile of papers as had been brought from Funk's shed, and using the corner of the reporter's desk he indicated to.Jhe jury the position of the pile of papers as they lay on the refrigerator. He also pointed out the hole in the front of the pile and the torn fragment in the top pa- per. Olson said clerk of court Hanson, was present when the papers were taken from the top of the refrigerator and fastened together with pices of board to be saved for evidence. As they were presented in court Olson said the papers were in same pos- sion as when he first saw them, except that possibly they were compressed. Olson explained the photo that had been taken of the papers and the refrigerator. States Attorney Maennel took the stand, but he said that he about The Iter. Jane* B. Dixon, Rector St. Jodea and Hon.

On cross examination by Mr. Bangs Han- son repeated much of the same testimony he had given Mr. Lawrence on on direct examination. Recalled again, Hanson said that when he saw Anderson go to the garage the west door of th< garage was closed, that Anderson went to Ms garage about five minutes after the shooting. He said Anderson opened the door went in the garage and when he came out he partly closed the door. Joe.

He was not present when the bullet was found, but he was there when the pile of papers were given to deputy sheriff Olson to keep for evidence He explained to the jury the position of the papers on top of the ice box and also pointed out the bullet hole and the torn frag- ments. Prank Thompson, a member of the coroner's jury and who found the bullet on the floor under the refrigerator, then testified. He used the reporter's desk to show the jury just where he picked up the bullet. He said it was lying in linewith the front of the ice box, he identified the bullet in court and said it had the same shape as when he found it. He said others present at the time examined, and that one of the of- ficers took it. Assistant State's Attorney Mad den then testified as to examining the walls. He said he found an indentation about a half inch long and a quarter of inch in diameter over the ice box. It ha .' made a. hole about an eighth of an inch deep. The jury was.then shown pictures of the refrigerator and the pile of papers on top. Clerk of Court Hanson was again recalled and said that on the evening Funk was killed he was at Funk's more or less till 12 o'clock that night. He also said he had a conversation 10 min utes after the shooting, with Wal- fred Anderson as to his whereabouts. He said they were at Anderson's garage when they .hail the conversation, and when he a ; :l-td Walfred where; he was at the time, Anderson told him he was in the basement of his house putting water in his storage batteries. When asked by Hanson if he heard the shot, Anderson told him it sounded as though Funk's outside cellar door had fallen. Walfred also told Hanson he heard the childreli crying in the yard. Walfred then said he caml out of his basement and took a bottle of water to the garage to fill a battery. Hanson said that after the shoo ing when he and Anderson were talking in the garage Anderson was leaning against the fender of his auto, and he told Hanson that after he reached the garage he turned around, saw a crowd gather at Funk's and that he went over there. While Hanson was with Anderson at the garage they went down in the basement and they went through the fresh excavation that had: been dug for the entrance to the garage basement, and made a starch.

Ander- son told him he was in the basement and that the report sounded like a cellar door dropping. Olson told Mr. Bangs that he went from Anderson's den to the basement of his house. He had a%ked Anderson to light the lights in his home. Anderson turned on all the lights and they went into the basement. Olson said And- erson remarked, that he would have to put more water in the batteries in the basemeent before he turned on the lights. There was no one else there aiid they went ito the basement from the outside cellar door, the top door of the entrance being open. After the batteries had been filled they went through all the rooms of the house to make a search. All the lights were burning in the house then. Olson said he had a conver sation with Anderson in the basement and he remembered there was a fire in the furance at the time. Mrs. .Hanson was recalled to th* stand and. she related the conversation she had with Anderson right after the shoting as to his whereabouts. Her first question was: "Where were you, Walfred, wl the shooting took place?;:" "I was in the basement putting water in the storage battery jars. "Did you hear the noise?" "Yes," said Andrson, "and I thought it was Funk's cellar door Assistant States Attorney Mad den took the stand again and he said that the deputy sheriff had phoned him that Anderson wante to ses him.
