FOURNIER HAS APPEALED GASE TO SUPREME GOURT Continued from First Page The body of Miss Aagot Dahl was found on August 17th, 1904, four months after her disappearance from her claim. The bones were put into a box and brought to Bemidji, and were afterwards taken to Crookston for interment. There was ahsolutely no clue whatever as to the manner in which Miss Dahl met her death, and there. appeared no possible solution of the affair. As time passed the crime was seldom alluded to, and was in a fair way to have been entirely forgotten. On March 27th, 1905, (a year after the disappearance of the Dahls from their claims), James Wesley was arrested at Green Bay, Wiscon- sin, where his parents were residing. On September 20th of that year, the grand jury returned an indict- ment against James Wesley and Paul Fournier, charging them with killing the Dahls; and the indictments were afterwards annulled. On Janhary 21st, 1907, County Attorney Henry Funkley caused the arrest of Paul Fournier and George Cyr, charging them with the killing of N. O. Dahl and his daughter, Aagot. James Wesley was also implicated in the crime, according to the in- formation given the county attorney, but his whereabouts were unknown. Fournier was given a prelimihary hearing on February 2nd and Justice Skinvik held him to the grand jury, the case against Cyr being dis- missed. On March 23rd, the grand jury returned an indictment againt Paul Fournier charging him with murder in the first degree—killing N. O. Dahl. On February 9th, 1907, “Shorty” Wesley was arrested and brought to Bemidji. The grand jury re- turned an indictment against Wes- ley for murder in the first degree, on March 23rd, 1907. Wesley was tried first, and after a tedious trial of two weeks, the jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree. Fournier’s trial followed immedi- ately after Wesey’s. A strong fight was made to save Fournier, but the jury also brought in a verdict of guilty against Fournier. A few days after the trials, Judge Spooner sentenced both Wesley and Fournier to imprisonment for life in the state penitentiary at Still- water. County Attorney Henry Funkley prosecuted Wesley aud Fournier and C. W. Scrutchin of this city and John A. Martin of Virginia defended the men, Small Boy and Big Gun. Grand Rapids Herald-Review: Quite likely many parents are not | aware of the fact that a law of the state makes it a misdemeanor to allow a boy 14 years or ‘under to carry firearms, whether for target or hunting, unless accompanied by his parents or guardian. This law is the outcome of many frightful accidents, caused solely by the pernicious custom of allowing young. boys to carry and use fire- arms, The penalty imposed upon a parent for allowing a boy to carry firearms is quite severe, a fine of not more than $100 being imposed, or a ‘| corresponding term in the county jail. In extreme cases the judges may sentence a parent to a term in jail and a fine of $100 in addition. The county attorneys in many sec- tions of the state are making especial efforts to strictly enforce the law. We noticed the other day that the prosecuting attorney of Duluth is vigorously enforcing the law, and announces that he is going to keep it up. LS CAV ILEGHL MOST OF THE STATE IS DRY Fifty Counties Vote for Prohibition and the Saloons Have Closed, but| Steps WIIl Be Taken to Test the Matter in the Courts. Birmingham, Ala, Jan. ~.—Declar- Ing the prohibition laws, as far as 1908 are concerned, unconstitutional the probate judge of Cullman county Issued nine saloon licenses and the lquor establishments will ‘ be re- opened. The mayor is sald to be pre- paring to issue city llcenseg for sa- loons in the city of Cullman. There 18 no excitement beyond the fact that the prohibitionists have called on the governor to enforce the prohibition laws. Cullman county ‘voted on Dec. 9 for prohibition. claim that the prohibition law is un constitutional because it makes ex ceptions of counties which voted on the propositicn prior to Deec. 12. No test case has hen started in Birmingham, though statements are made that before twenty-four hours a case will have been started looking to the annulment of the prohibition laws for one year. The probate judge of Lowndes county refused to issue licenses for barrooms at Haynesville and Benton and a dispensary at Fort Deposit. As a consequence application was made for mandamus to enforce such action. The case will be fought out through all the courts. It is charged that the law, though passed as a general act, is local and was not properly adver- tised. FIFTY COUNTIES DRY. of Alabama. Birmingham, Ala.,, Jan. : —With the shrill shrieks of the hundreds of whis- tles of industrial Birmingham announc- ing the advent of the new year every saloon in the city closed its doors sine die. It was the time set for prohibi- tion to go into effect in those counties of Alabama in which local option elec- tions have besn held during the year. ‘When the result of the election in Crenshaw county became known and it was added to the prohibition ranks there were exactly fifty counties of the.| state which closed the doors of the sa- loons permanently. This leaves seven- teen counties in the state in which liquor can be sold for another year. One year from now the entire state becomes prohibition by statutory act. Of the wet countles for the next year only four are exclusively saloon counties, Mobile, Montgomery, Dallas and Baldwin. There are twelve exclu- sive dispensary counties. Jefferson county, in which Birming- ham is located, is by far the largest county in the state and in Birming- ham alone 120 saloons went out of business. A remarkable feature of the last day under the liquor regime is the fact that there was less drunkenness noted than. for many months. _— ) Georgia Judge Denies Injunction. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. l}—Judge New- man has refused to grant a temporary injunction requested by the brewery interests to stop the enforcement of the prohibition law of Georgia. Montana Mines Had Year.
