NORTH DAKOTA
GRAY IN COURT AGAIN
To Be Tried for Shooting After Serving
Term for Burglary.


Term for Burglary.
FARGO. N. D.-The petit jury for the
term of the state district court assembled
to-day and the first case moved for trial
was that against w. J. Gray, who is
charged with shooting Chief Of Police
Murphy of Moorhead in the abdomen. The
shooting occurred three years ago. Gray
and a pal were implicated in Moorhead
burglary and were located on the Fargo
side of the river. Murphy started across
with the men and on the bridge Gray
concluded he would not go over. After
some words he shot Murphy. Later he
was captured and sent to the penitentiary
in Minnesota on a burglary charge and on
his release was arrested and brought to
Fargo to be tried for the shooting.
Murphy's recovery was regarded as re-
markable, as his intestines were perfor-
ated in fourteen places and necessitated
several delicate operations.
Some months ago bill was introduced
in congress to place Paul Crum Of Fargo
on the army rolls for neritorious service.
He was Is years old at the outbreak Of the
Spanish war and worked his way to the
Philippines and served unattached with
the Nebra skas and North Dakotas. He
was regularly placed on the muster rolls
Of the North Dakota volunteers and has
just received notice from the auditor OF
the war department that he is entitled to
collect travel pa and subsistence during
the time he served. He Is now studying
law in his fathers office.
The petit jury for the present term of
the United States court assembled this
morning and unless there are many pleas
of guilty the session is likely to be an ex-
tended one. Former Deputy United
States Marshal Hurst of Devils Lake was
arrested on a charge of submitting false
expense accounts for transportation while
travelling on passes. He pleaded not
guilty and gave the required bonds.
The annual Scottish Rite reunion began
here this morning and will continue three
days. There is large class of candidates
and the officials are well pleased with the
outlook.
