Miller, former treasurer pf Itasca county, will be postponed until June next, as} aresult of an application for a cons tinuance before Judge Spooner. Notice of the motion for a contin- uance was given on the first day of; the term, but it was not expected anything would be developed on the hearing which would be productive of delay. To the general public’s surprise it was shown tbat Miller has a clot of blood on his brain, and that the stain incident to a prolonged trial might cause his death. The} affiadvit setting forth these facts was made by Dr, C. M. Storch, ove of | our leading physicians. The prosection did net question the accuracy of the diagnosis made by Dr. Storch, but requested the defendant to submit to a confirmatory examination to be} made by Dr. Russell, together with some physician from Duluth.

Ward, of Fairmont, the jury returned an acquittal. Ward is a former member of the board of game and fish com- missions and ing shipped a part of a care: cow moose from a point near North- ome to his home in Fairmont. When brought to trial in the justice court at Northome a conviction re- sulted, from which he appealed. Much interest attached to the case, ss of a as it was known that the relations| between the defendant and Execu- tive Agent Fullerton were not ex- actly pleasant. The verdict will throw the -cost of the appeal upon the county, and the total expense thus incurred will amount to not less ‘than $500. The prosecution was handled by the attorneys of the game and fish commission at special re- quest. " A verdict: of guilty was re- turned in the,case of R. A. Hvlnies, charged with obtainiig money . under false pretenses Holmes lives at Bemidji,.and was arrested for using ‘confederate money. State vs. Arthur) Dumas—ju disagreed: retrial next week.
