The theory of the physicians and the

suffered any pain. is that Lemke died OF

Judge Jaggard Orders Him Com
mitted to State Prison for Life.
Frederick Guion was sentenced by Judge
Jaggard yesterday morning to the state
prison at Saltwater for the term of his
natural life The prisoner seemingly was
not at all affected by the sentence, and
took the affair much the same as though
the sentence was ten days in the work.
house. He came into court with Deputy
Sheriff<Robert, and, while the Judge was
engaged in turning over the code to find
the penalty clause for murder in the
second degree, the prisoner chatted with
former Judge Egan. County Attorney
Bigelow broke the silence by saying that
he would move for sentence in the case
of the state against Guion. The deputy
sheriff touched Guion on the arm, and
the prisoner walked to the bar with a
quick stride. His attorney, John H. Ives,
informed the court there was nothing
to say Guion was sworn and then Judge
Jaggard asked If he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed on
him. Guion shook his head. but made no
reply In the fewest possible words, with
out any review of the case, or judicial
lecture. the judge stated that he be taken
to the state prison at Saltwater, and. at
hard labor, confined there for the balance
of his natural life. Guion turned quickly
away after sentence had been pronounced.
Guien will be taken to Saltwater today
or Monday.

Thoae Who Demand Justice Should
Do Justice, Says Judge Kelly.


The case of R. P. Lewis against Dexter
A. and Charles D. Knowlton has been
decided by Judge Kelly The suit was
brought to set aside tax title. The court
finds that plaintiff Is entitled to judgment
quieting it's title, as to the defendants
claim under the state assignment certif-
icate. pleaded In the answer, upon the
condition that the plaintiff pay into court,
for the benefit Of the defendants, 1922 CT,
the amount being the sum delinquent for
1897. which was paid by the defendants. In
his memorandum accompanying the de-
cision Judge Kelly says:
Defendant paid into the treasury the
taxes Of 1897 assessed against these lands
to protect claims under the certificate for
1896 as they might do. OF this $2S6 was for
water frontage, properly and legally as
sessable. 1t is about time this plaintiff
had paid some of, its taxes on this land
and I see no just reason to require the
county to refund to defendants all this
tax for 1897, and then pursue plaintiffs
afterward. When the just and legal
amount can be ascertained, which is a
lien on the land the plaintiff should pay.
People who demand Justice should do JUS

to make the inmates comfortable. There
were 108 men sleeping on the floors in the

Some of the board had never visited the
Owatonna public school, and the visit
was of especial interest.
The need of separate institution for
epileptics was especially evident at the

and the institution is very much crowded.
