ROEN GOES SCOT FREE Buzzle Homesteader Accused of Manslaughter Is Re- leased by Jury. JURY'S VERDICT RETURNED IN TWO HOURS. Roen Says That Henceforth Strong Drink Will Be Left Alone by Him. The jury in the case of the State of Minnesota vs. Bernsvend Roen, the Buzzle homesteader who was accused by the grand jury of mai ghter in the first degree, returned averdict shortly after supper time last night of not guilty. As stated in yesterday’s Pio- neer, the state’s case was weak and little testimony was intro- duced to show that Roen even killed his neighbor. The defense put up was that Roen, admitting that he killed Bakken, was tco drunk at the time he committed the crime to know what he was doing. Roen remained in the city over night and left this afternoon for Solway, from where he will pro- ceed to his homestead. Before leaving Mr. Roen stated to the Pioneer that he was very glad to have been set free and was thank- ful to Judge Spooner and cvery member of the jury who sat upon the case. ‘Henceforth”, said Mr. Roen, “liguor of an invoxi cating nature will never enter my mouth, and nothing will ever in- duce me to take aunother drink.” Secured Many Ducks. John Thompson, Ben Payne and Ole Greenland composed a party of hunters who speunt last weel on and around Lake Plan- tagenet, and report one of the largest bags of the season. Dur- ing the time they spent there they saw thousands of ducks and returned to the city Saturday night wiih 155 birds. Chicken pie supper at old Ross hardware building tonight.
