WOMAN WINS VERDICT {IN LAST COURT CASE i PRESENT SESSION BEGAN SEPT. 22 A Reconvenes on December 13, But = Juries Will Not be Called Until Next February. The fall term of district court for Beltrami county was adjourned yes. terday afternoon, after a strenuous term during which many cases both - criminal aad civil were considered and disposed of. The term will be reconvened again, December 13, when court cases will be taken up, jury cases being continued until the regular February term convenes. The fall term of court convened September 13, at which time the grand jury reported, the petit jury being ordered to report en Septem- ber 22. All three judges of the dis- = trict, Judge McClenehan, Judge Stanton and Judge Wright, sat at different times during the term, Judge Wright completing the term, while Judge Stanton is at Grand Rapids holding court. The term just closed was not de- void of thrills, with its affidavits of prejudic: filed by some attorneys against certain officials acting in their usual capacities and the tryiog of several interesting cases. Two criminal cases resulted in disagree- ments of the juries. The retrying of one resulted in the acquittal of the defendant, while the other again brought a disagreement and the prisoner will again be tried, in all probability at the February term. The last jury trial was held Thurs- day afternoon, being the case of Emma F. McClelland vs. A. E. Smith, a suit against a bondsman. The jury brought in a verdict allow- ing the plaintiff the full amount asked in court. Judge Spooner appear- ed for the plaintiff. Court finally was adjourned after 0 the case of Charles Cramor vs. the s Town of Durand had been brought up, being a suit relative to recover- ing damages for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff. The case was dismissed, after the court had listened to the - arguments of the counsel in both sides. The term just closed has been a tedious and long-drawn-out affair, and expensive for the results obtained along the line of satisfactory litiga- tion. Of the criminal cases that were on trial, two defendants drew six months’ sentences in the peni- tentiary on charges of having fur- nished ‘liquor to Indians; one was found guilty and a new trial ordered for the next term, while several accused of grave crimes were found not guilty by a jury.

BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1910. # ( TEN' GENTS PER WEEK. High Officer of S. of N. to Address Pub- lic Meeting—Tells of Gift Plans. H. Askeland, of Minneapolis, sup- reme secretary of the Sons of Nor- way, and secretary of the executive committee of the American Memorial Gift Association, in Bemidji to ad- dress an open meeting in Odd Fel- lows hall Sunday afternoon, brings the news that from every cormer of the United States even into Alaska, cordial responses have been received tothe proposition from American Nor- wegians to raise a fund of $1,000,- 000 to be presented to Norway in 1914 to commemorate the one hun- dredth aaniversary of the indepen- dence of that nation. “We are organizing our gift com- mittees in every township in every state in the Union and we - have al- ready completed our organization, partially at least, in every northern state from California to New York. In Montana every county and town- ship has been organized while much work has been done in the northern half of Iowa, in Wisconsin, north- ern Michigan, and northern Illi- nois. “In Minnesota we have organized as far north as Otter Tailand Kandi- yohi counties. = We shall complete the state as soon as practical and we feel sure that the splendid Norwegian representation in Beltrami county will make a good showing. “The idea simply is for every Norwegian in this country to donate a dollar asa fitting tribute to the Mother Country.. There are 1,250,- 000 in this country -and we believe| there will be no trouble in colht;pnz the desiréd million'doliars. - 1 "We are making no attempt to collect funds at this time, merely acquainting the people with the de- tails of the plan. The collection of funds will begin-in 1912. Mrs. C. A. Floan of St. Paul has just been appointed president of ‘the ladies’ auxiliary of the gift association and she will be the directing force in collecting funds from the women. “Even far away Alaska has devel- oped a surprising interest in the pro- ject. L. Lomen at Nome is vice president of the association for Alaska and he assures me that north- ern province of this country ‘will make a fine showing when the funds begin to roll in. Our plans are now all perfected and we are going ahead without further delay.” FEAR GRAFT IN GROW WING Town of Allen With 12 Voters Has $5,000 in Debts.
