EIGHT WERE FOR AcoUITTAL

EX-Auditor James III. Burns still stands
a show to best those who have preferred
a charge against him of presenting false
claims against the county. After being
out nearly twenty hours the jury in his
case was called into court yesterday aft
ernoon and announced that they were
unable to reach an agreement.
Mr.. Burns was in court, and received
the announcement with evident satis-
faction. After the jury was discharged
he left the court room, accompanied by
his attorney, and was Immediately sur
rounded by a small coterie of frien6s,
who shook his hand vigorously and CT
fered congratulations.
During the lengthy session held by the
jury ballot after ballot was taken, and
the result in every instance was eight
for acquittal and four for conviction.
Not once did the vote change.
1t was anything but a fresh looking

after the door separating them from the

plainly seen in their faces.
The case will now go over to the next
term, when in the event of acquittal
or even conviction, he will have to stand
another trial ON the charge of grand lar
ceny. Two indictments were returned
against him by the last grand jury.

The landing of the Pilgrim fathers on
Plymouth Rock Dec. q, 1920, was fitting
ly celebrated last night by the Society
of Colonial Wars in the State of Min
nesota by a banquet given at the Alb
erdeen.
The dining hall was decorated with ev-
ergreen, and around each light was wrap
ped red covering that shed pleasing
glow on the guests and tables. The ma
tional emblem, the flag of the society,
the John Smith flag, with its rattlesnake
and inscription, Don't tread on me-
and the Pine State flag hung together
at the head o. the banquet tables.
The menu Was a most elaborate one,
and one that was greatly enjoyed by
the guests and members. After the final
course had been disposed of a ouartette
composed of Harry George, John Jaeger,
d. F. Colville- and Earl Wetherby sang
a patriotic song, which was followed
by the, business meeting of the society.

Mr.. Stone, in his opening remarks, said
that he would read a short historical ac-
count of the trials and tribulations Of
the Pilgrim fathers, as the historian OF
the society was unable to be present.
Mr.. Stones account began with the
formation of the Suffragist jsectsin Eng

course was traced to the shores of Hol-
land, where under great difficulties, 1t
strove for a life that would not Yield
The labors of the little band in Leyden
were graphically depicted, as they strEg-
gled for a livelihood that asked nothing
more than to be allowed to worship
God according to the dictates Of their
own conscience. All the difficulties that
beset the devout little band, as we'll as
the heart-rending scenes at the parting,
were touched upon with effect. The
wiles of treacherous captains and st;ll
more treacherous winds recalled the in
domitable will of the heroic group. The
stormy passage across the Atlantic and
the landing on the bleak, barren shores
at Plymouth Rock Dec. 81, 1920, were
feelingly dwelt upon, and the account
closed with glowing eulogy upon these
pathfinders of freedom.
