Through a petition flledh few days ago in the probate court by the Northwestern Trust company,admin- istrator, of St. Paul, for an order for license to sell certain lands in Roseau county at private sale, the murder of Johann Jobhanson at Ten- strike two years ago is brought to |f mind. Peter Mathieson, who was later convicted in the district court for the murder and given a sentence by Judge McClenahan of death, which was changed to life imprisonment by the state board of pardons at the + request of the trial judge, drew $400 belonging to Johanson from the Scandia-American National “Bank of Crookston, where the murdered man had deposited his funds. Henry Funkley of this city, county attorney at the time of the trial of Mathieson, was appointed adminis- trator of Johanson’s estate and insti- tuted a suit against the Scandia-| American National Bank to recover the $400 secured by Mathieson. M Funkley later resigned from his position as administrator and, at the request of Hon. Johannes Grunow, the German consul at St. Paul, who was acting for heirs in Germany and Denmark, Judge of Probate Clark of this city appointed the Northwestern Trust company of St. Paul as administrator, this com- pany continuing the suit which Mr. Funkley had started. The land in question is “160 acres in Roseau county which Johanson had mortgaged to Walter Anderson for $300. After Johanson’s death, Mr. Anderson bought in the property at a sheriff’s sale for the face of the mortage and costs, amountiag in all to $410. Mr. Granow, in the inter- ests of the foreign heirs, redeemed | ¥ the land later. The land is now val: ued at $1,400, and the Northwestern Trust company has asked for license to sell the property at private sale. The hearing will be held before (8 Judge of Probate Clark in probate i court on. May 3d. P. J.
