O’LEARY & BOWSER MINNESNTA is of no particular consequence as it is burning in some old stumps 1| which have already been burned over. There is no danger to the city from that direction. It cannot be ascertained just how serious is the fire which is northwest of this city. It is undoubtedly the fire which is reported burning northwest of Shevlin. The fire is undoubtedly burned out aleady and reports of damage to farm buildings and timber will be received later. While there is smoke in the city the fires'in nowise interfere with the fair and no apprehension 1s felt for the safety of the city. District Court. Court convened at 1:30 p. m yesterday and the afternoon was taken up by the defense in the case of the State of Minnesota vs. Jus- tin Stoddard, J. F. Gibbons conduct- ing the defense. From the first the case looked dark for Stoddard, as he was identi- fied by the little girl in open court and acknowledged, upon cross-ex- amination, that he had been arrested in North Dakota upon a similar charge. The jury retired at 5:15. Judge McClenahan then ordered the following cases to be placed upon the calendar: State of Minnesota vs. Grand Forks Lumber company; State of Minnesota vs. Crookston Lumber company and State of Min- nesota vs. Page & Hill. Court especially convened at 9:30 last evening in order to hear the verdict of the jury in the Stoddard case. The jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged in the indict- ment, that is, of attempting to criminally know Hazel Kruger, a 9-year;old girl living at Tenstrike. Court convened this morning at 10:30 with Judge McClenahan on the bench. At the opening of court Judge McClenahan made the follow- ing statement: R “I will say, for the benefit of the jurors present that the delay in open- ing court this morning has been caused by a consideration of what is best to do to meet the emergency presented by the financial condition of this county. Judge Stanton and myself have thought this term should be continued if it was not possible to pay the jurors for their services and it would be unfair_to require them to stay here for a considerable time and pay their own expenses, in view of the fact that the county orders are not marketable. “Men cannot be kept in jail how- tever, and with the result of that these cases should be taken care of. The court has absolute power ‘to compel the jurors to sérve but we don’t think that it will be fair and it won’t be done. We will only try the pressing cases; that will require probably today and tomorrow. ““The situation is unfortunate but one that the court has no control over. The county officers have been acting under advice from the as handling the funds now on hand is concerned, no blame is to be attached to them. ‘“There seems to have been bad management under some conditions, so that the final results will be that this term of court will have to be adjourned because the warrant fund to pay court expenses is not avail- able.” N Par Lemloth, charged with de- frauding a bailee of an animal, then withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty. Judge McClenahan sentenced Lemloth to ninety days in the Beltrami county jail. The case of the State of Minnesota vs. Mrs. Howe, an Indian woman living at Redby, was then taken up. County Attorney Funkley conducted the case for the state and D. H. Fisk of this city appeared for the defendant. Itis alleged that Mrs. Howe struck a white woman at Redby with- a broomstick. A jury was secured shortly before noon when court adjourned until 1:30 this afternoon. Mrs. Claire Craig, a Suicide. Dr. Russell of Grand Rapids, coroner of Itasca county, came in this morning from Blackduck, where he went to investigate the death of Mrs. Claire Craig, who lived on a claim ten miles east of Blackduck. An inquest was held at the claim last evening at which it was decided that Mrs. Craig committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. Mrs. Craig had been sickly of late but was preparing breakfast Tues- day morning and seemed to be in good spirits when she went out to the barn and drank theacid. She returned to the house but died a few minutes later. Mrs, Craig was about twenty- one years old at the time of her death and had only been married about one year. She is survived by a husband. M. E. Ibertson of this city went to Blackduck and prepared the body for burial. The remams were shipped this morning to Mr. Craig’s old home in Elk River where they will be laid to rest. John Moberg Is Happy. John Moberg, the logger, is wear- ing a bland smile—the kind that won’t rub off, since day before yes- terday.
