Something of a sensation was} sprung in Judge McLenahan’s court | this afternoon when Attorney Bald-! win produced affidavits from seven of the trial jurors.in the Randolph drank whiskey in the jury room, looked almost doubtfully at the at- torney as he read. attorneys had several other points on which to ask for a new trial and which were: also presented. At- torney Geo. H. Spear represented the state as assistant to Mr. Pratt, who is sick and unable to appear in court. Mr. Spear made an able argument, logical and forceful, but to no avail. The sledge-hammer facts were there, together with the power of Baldwin and Waite. When the attorneys had closed the court scoulded. He severely reprimanded the jurors who had so far forgot the grave responsibilities they had sworn to discharge. He regretted that he knew of no law that would premit him to compel these jurors to bear at least a portion of the enormous expense that thistrial had entatled upon Itasca county. The two bailiffs who had the jury in charge during their deliberatious he alsoscored, and instructed Sheriff Tyndall to not again appoint either of them as officers in his court. The motion for a new trial was granted on the misconduct of the jury. Randoph will remain out on bail until the june term. Died. John Fuller died at his home in this village on Saturday last at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, aged 64 years. Funeral services were held. at the M. E. Church on Wednesday and interment made in Itasca come- tary. The deceased came to Grand case in which they admitted having | since. He leaves a family of three boys. John Filler was an honest, industerious man who enjoyed the esteem of all who knew him, He was a member of the M, E. Church. P. M.—F. A. McVicar? appear to agree that Fred A.

If, in the course of human events, ademocrat should climb to the presidential chair how in thunder would we manage to | dislodge him from his Nasbyship, barring the aid of a kind provi- dence or valuntary resignation? It coulden’t be done, that’s all. If Fred McVicar goes ia, he goes in to stay— and it looks to a man up a Democrat- ic tree that he’s goingin. Again we protest, solely on the grounds herein stated. Ofcourse, when he receives his commission from Ted the Herald- Review will apologize und congratu- late. Wrong Grand Rapids Ellen Bevore, the 14-ye*r-old daughter of Mrs. Mary Bevore, of Calumet, is held by the authorities at Grand Rapids, Mich., because of the purchase of a wrong ticket. The young girl intended going to an aunt at Grand Rapids, Minn,, where she ‘would work and contribute her wages to the support of her numerous brothers and sisters in this city. In purchasing the ticket at the railroad station in that city, little Ellen failed to mention Minnesota, and secured a ticket to Grand Rapids Mich. This week Mrs. Bevore re- ceived a telegram from the authori- tiesat Grand Rapids, Mich., stating that her daughter was there and no aunt was' tobe found. It is a ques- tion with Mrs. Bevore how she can send transportation to her daughter. and the railroad people will likely be Rapids in 1891, and has resided here revailed upon toreturo the gitl to that” city.—4miuth evening Herat offers before wasting The local Republican political push i a See % istmas Little Boys Top Coats.

At 4 O'clock Yesterday Afternoon Judge M’Cleaahaa Finished Term. The December term of the Fif- ‘teenth judicial district was brought ‘to a close yesterday afternoon and not until June next will this county he honured with the official presence joffjudge, juries, ete. The week was avery quiet one, and nothing of \public interest took place aside from the Stitt & Howe vs. The; | Rat Portage Lumber company, and the Randolpk application for a new i hearing in the case in whicli he is charged with the murder of Frank | Sullivan. Stitt & owe sued the; Rat Portage Lumber company to; recover damages on a logy*ng con- tract in the sum of $85,000. Bill. | son, Congdon & Dickinson ap. | peared for the defendants, and W. H. McMahon and H. B. wan for the plaintiff. It was a court, case and Judge McClenahan found forthe defendants. The case will be appealed to the supreme court. in the matter of State vs. Dumas —damages asked—the testimony | was not all taken and the balance | of evidence will be heard before a referee and referred to the court later on. ; The particulars of granting anew trial to Randolph is given elsewhere. |! Charles H. Moore, for stealing Dr, Gilbert’s clothes, was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or visit with Sheriff Tyndall for a period of ninety days. Frank Handy a 17-year-old boy, pleaded guilty to petit lareeny—he stole a gun—and 1n vitw of his age the judge was lenient with him, After a severe talking to, the court gave him a chance of paying a fine of 825 or 90 days in jail. The court ordered judgment in several personal property cases and adjourned sine die. M, J. Taylor, p. m. and ed of Deer River, was registered at the jasks, of course, 'o Light the Streets. An extremely reasonable proposi- tion has been made to the council by John Beckfelt, owner of the Grand Rapids electrict light plant, to fur- nish illumination for the streets of the village. If the proposition should finally be accepted Grand Rapids weuid be payinga lower rate per light than any other village in the state. His proposition is to fur= nish arclights at the rate of $7.50 each per wonth. This is about one half the amount psid by gather villages in this vicinity. This is indeed a very liberal offer and is in keeping with that generous public spirit always shown by Mr. Beckfelt in all his dealings with the people. He for a stipulated nomber of lights—eighteen—and that he be given an additional, or contiuned right, to maintain polls and wires op the streets. This does not mean an exciusive franchise, be- cause the council has not the power to grant that. In conversation wita the Herald-Review a member of the council said that it appears to be the opinion of the village council that i? Mr. Beckfelt’s proposition should be accepted it would only be with some modifications of its provisions. The people will endorse and oppreiate the efforts of that body in making the best terms possible. The Herald- Review is, and always has been, in favor of municipal ownershiy of the electrict light plant and we are pleased to know thatthe council is still negotiating with financial con- cerns for the sale of the bonds voted some time ago, Itis learned that a prospective sale looks very favorable at the present time. A representa- tive of a Chicago concern is soon ex- pected here to look the situation over with a view to taking the issue, Now is the time to act and this: the ~ opportunity. Notwithstanding Mr. Beckfelt’s liberal offer, and ovtwith- standing the fact that he supplies the public’with good service at re:- onable rates, yet ib would be!* better for ths municipality to be +: owner. In years to come the‘furce ~ Pokegama Monday. this argument will be more appree ed Chan at present, ;
