st. Cloud, Minn.-Judge D. B. searle
stayed sentence in case in the district
court last week in which, no doubt, he
felt that the culprit's sentence should be
tempered with mercy. Samuel Hart, of
Eagle Bend, was sentenced by the court
to Saltwater for one year for the theft Of
watch at Sank Center last summer. AS
the prisoner was being led out, the judge
recalled him to the stand for the purpose
Of asking him a few questions. He learn
! ed that his home was in Eagle Bend,
that this was his first offense. and that
| he was married and the father of four
| children. The prisoner stated that he
was IS years Of age, and that he had
never been arrested before. The court
appointed local attorney to investigate

the sensence. Hart pleaded guilty, but
when doing SO probably did not realize
the consequences that must follow. He
said that the theft was committed while
he was under the influence Of liquor, and
explained that he was working on farm
and the day which sealed his fate being
rainy he went to Sank Center for the
purpose Of listening to an address by
Senator Knute Nelson. He appears, how
ever, to have fallen by the wayside be-

talking Of things he does not like. Re-
Gently some papers have intimated that
the bishop would take a hand in state
politics to secure the repeal of the pres
ent divorce law. In an interview print
ed in the Fargo Forum he disposes of the
report in these vigorous words: 1.-THE
