In selecting the Heratp-ReEview as the official newspaper for the publi- cation of the village proceedings, the council at its regular meeting Tuesday evening, not only extended its former action in the matter, but it has also recognized the value of the Hrratp- Review, which is the official publisher of the proceedings of the commission- ers of Itasca county and the township board, as the paper of the largest cir- culation and the greatest value in reaching the general public. The council acted upon business princi- ples and upon the course in which the interests of the general public would be most effectively furthered. The trustees are going ahead carefully with the work of the;village, endeavor- ing to miake such repairs to streets, sidewalks. etc., as will keep them up to their present standard in good con- dition without undertaking heavy out- lays for expensive innovations. Thus a reasonable economy is sought for. They appointed Frank McCormick poundmaster and took measures to have the streets sprinkled dunng the summer. At a special meeting on Thursday evening they gave further consideration to the question of street hghting, and adjourned to give an op- portunity for further conference on the subjéct. CLOSE OF COURT. A Short But Busy Term in Which Legal Matters Were About All Disposed Of. Most of the criminal cases were finshed so promptly at the recent sessions that the term of district court closed earlier than the attorneys ex- pected—seven days having completed the calendar. Judge Holland was very considerate, however, and gave due atjention to numerous civil actions during the closing hours up to the time of adjournment on ‘Tuesday after- noon. The murder case against Peter Mc- Kenna was decided in favor of the prisoner by dismissal of the case on the plea that McKenna could not be placed in jeopardy twice for the same | offense, the alleged killing of Jack Bacon, and that the dismissal of the first case at the January term was the same as an acquittal. The court en- tered an order discharging him from the.second indictment. As this case caused more interest than any other of the ériminalactions a briefsummary of the proceedings .is given: Mc- Kenna’s plea presented on Saturday recited the question of second jeopardy. His attorney C. C. McCarthy ap- peared in his defense. County At- torny Pratt for the state entered a demurrer upon the ground that the plea did not state facts sufficient to constitute a bar to the second action. The matter was argued Monday, the county attorney claiming that the de- fense by remaining silent at the time the first case was dismissed gave an implied consent to the institution of the second action. At the close of Monday’s session Judge Holland said that as the matter was one of the grav- est importance he would leave the ques- tion of silence giving consent until Tuesday and on Tuesday morning Attorney McCarthy presented his ar- gument on the demurrer, Judge Hol- land decided that the precedents cited as showing that silence gave consent did not bear sufficiently upon the case in point and, as the Minnesota statute is so strong upon the question of jeopardy, he overruled the demmurrer —the result being the dismissal stated above. Some httle time after the judgment was entered discharging McKenna he started to leave the court room in the ordinary way. County Attorney Pratt arose and called upon the sheriff to arrest Peter McKenna upon the charge of arson. Immediately At- torney McCarthy denied the right to make the arrest without a warrant. A briefargument upon this point led to the judge’s ruling that McKenna was free to leave the court room if he de- sired. He was afterwards arrested, the charge being that he burned the Russel house in township 60 range 24 in which John Bacon is believed to have died. As there was no indict- ment his examination on this charge went to Judge Stilson’s court, ag else- where reported in the HERALD-RE- VIEW. In the civil calendar the Itasca county tax cases against F. Weyer. portant. They were continued to be heard in chambers at Brainerd before Judge Holland about June 30 on ten days notice from either party. Mesrs A. Y. Merrill and C. C. Mc- Carthy were appointed a committee to prepare resolutions of respect and regret relative to the death of Hon. O. P. Stearns of Duluth, judge of the Eleventh district of Minnesota for twenty years, who died Tuesday May 2g at San Diego, Cal. In the criminal cases Thomas Saw- yer, who eschewed ‘legal assistance and undertook to defend himself, had a disagreement of the jury in the first case and was found guilty of stealing a gun, by the second jury. He was sentenced to one year at Sullwater. Wilham Reed ahd John Tuttle, who were tried jomtly on the charge of assault in the first degree upon Joseph Erickson, of Deer River, were acquitted by the jury. Capt. T. M. Brady, who was their attorney. gave zealous attention to their interests throughout the case and made an able plea to the jury showing the extreme weakness of. the. circumstantial evi- dence. It took the jury only a short time to determine that the defendants were innocent and gave their verdict accordingly: Since last Saturday other civil actions were disposed of as follows: Continued—Wood vs Howes: Dis- missed—Erickson vs McIntosh, Pras- ser vs Feeley, Poirier vs Itasca county and notice ef motion for new trial in | hauser and others were the most 1m- | latter. Tobe tried in chambers at Brainerd before Judge Holland—Judd vs Seelye, Bovey-DeLaittre Lumber Co. vs John B. Dow, Charles Joy vs Dow. Judgment by default—Tyndall vs Goforth, judgment for plaintiff in Nisbett vs Straws. The Herald-Review.
