Condon Will Case Argued Saturday; Decision Withheld.

Saturday was about all devoted to oratory in the court room. Elmore Baroe for the defendant Condons, argued a motion for a new trial, and spoke for about three and. a half hours. Attorney Newton was here from Winchester and spoke against the granting of the new trial. Judge Hanley withheld his decision in order to give some further study to the legal points of the case. He will probably decide the matter Tuesday or Wednesday. N. Littlefield and Rev. G. H. Clarke have returned from their trip to Hamilton, N. Dak., where the latter purchased a quarter section of land, only a mile and a quarter from Hamilton. It is an improved farm and is all under cultivation. The minister is well pleased with the northern country and thinks in all his travels he has not seen a country that was more attractive than it is near Hamilton. They saw J. Doss Norman while there. Mr. Norman and family moved from Larimore this spring to J r K. Davis’ farm of 480 acres right at the edge of Hamilton. Doss is splendidly pleased there and thinks Mr. Davis made a good trade of his Barkley township land. Harvey Davisson lives only a mile and a half from town. He also has a fine place and is greatly pleased. They did not see John T. Murray, but it Is understood that Mr. Murray made rather an unfortunate trade there and will be unable to conclude the purchase of the farm and will lose what he had invested, which donsisted of his property traded in, Just north of Rensselaer.
