Found Guilty.

Carl Hanson was found guilty of
murder in the first degree at Minot
and sentenced to life imprisonment
for killing Napoleon Lemay.
The crime was committed almost a
year ago near Tagus in Ward county.
Assisted by William Ross, who is to
hang March 6, he murdered a nan in
a barn. After the deed had been
done they tied a lariat around his
feet, hitched to a horse, and dragged
the body to a well about four feet
deep, into which the body was dump
ed and covered with hay and rubbish.
The deed was not discovered until
Ross had been sentenced to hang some
time ago, when he made a confession,
duplicating Hanson. Hanson was ar
rested at once and confined in the Jail
at Minot. He claimed hat Ross had
forced him to commit the murder,
but the evidence did not go to prove
his assertion. Ross was present and
gave evidence.

Comments on Peary's Present Plans.

Peary we're ten years younger would not

trip" said Prof. William H. Brewer Of the
Sheffield Scientific School to-day.
Prof Brewer is president Of the Arctic
Club Of America. He has himself made
several journeys into the Arctic regions
and has known personally nearly all the
men who in the last fifty years have made
trips into the Far North for exploration.
As it is. feel very confident that Com

Mr.. Peary seems to be more qualified by
experience and nature to undertake the
] feat and accomplish it than any one who
has as yet started in search of it.
His latest plan Of procedure is the most

almost seem certain OF success. Peary
knows now by experience what TO do and
how to do it. And Of personal courage
he certainly is not lacking.
1T Is upon the question of endurance only
that based my statement that If he were
| ten years younger l would be sure of his
success. Whether the strains Of the last
ten years have told on his strength and

can positively tell.

that no man over SO ought to undertake

Certainly it seems that in deciding to
go to the most northern point OF land and
establish his winter quarters and work
from there over the Arctic sea to the Pole,
Peary has shown better knowledge OF the
situation than has ever been demonstrated
before. In previous trips he has made
his way in a northwesterly direction over
Greenland, instead of heading directly for
the Pole over the sea.
