DENIES ANY WRONG WAS
DONE.

The Herald recently published an
article, based on information from
legal sources generally held to be re.
liable, in which the story was told of
a son who secured the farm of his
parents and left them to suffer. The
story: as published has been one of
common talk for some time. We have
received a letter from Merlin Hull
of Black River Falls, Wis, in which,
on behalf of J. P. Heinrich, who ie
the son referred to in the article. he
explains the mstter and denies the
story published. Mr. Hull bears testi-
mony to the high character of M r.
Heinrich, wnohas lived at Black River
Falls eighteen months. Mr.. Hull
says that the parents of Mr.. Heinrich
in 1891 under land contract acquired
40 acres, and in 1898. being unable to
make the part payment. Mr.. Heinrich
paid 1t, and later paid the balance,
and the deed was made out to him.
He gave his PARENTS q life lease. All
they had invested was $40 and the
buildings, and they gave Mr.. Helm.
rich a quit claim of their equity:
Mr.. Heinrich later bought an adjoin-
ing 40 acres but his parents never,
according to his story. claimed an y
interest except in the fret tract.
Later be signed a contract for their
support which he sbrogated at their re.
questa and gave them q lesee. of the
enitre 1870 acres. The land is leased to
J. 81. Dunn under date Of April 15,
1904, Dunn agreeing to pay one.third
of all crops to the parents of Mr..
Heinrich, the son getting none of the
profits. The lease runs to March Is,
1907 Mr.. Hull says all the docu
ments show that Mr. Heinrich has
been dutiful and faithful son, and
done as much as any man in his cir.
cumstances could. he contributed tt
their support regularly and stopped
because part of the sums were sent BY
his parents to other members of thl
family who were amply able to carr
for themselves. Mr.; Heinrich gave
his parents nearly all their furniture
and is anxious that their declinini
years be spent In comfort

THE CENSUS RETURNS
Small Gains in City and in
Morrison Coun-
ty

The unofficial report of the the cen
'sus of 1905 for Morrison county has
been received. The town of Clouoh
Is not included, the census not being
completed.
The small gain shown by the city is
disappointing and there seems to be a
belief that many were not counted.
The enumerators are not all to blame
for this.
There should have been cooperation
on the part Of the citizens at large.
A few citizens helped, but the great
majority did not andis late to be blam-
ing anybody. We believe, however,
that the city has over 6, 600 people.
The county also shows but com.
paratively small gain, and it is evil
dent 1hat the emigration to Canada
has affected this county as we'll as
others. The villages of the county
have done fairly veil Pierz gaining
243 since 1860 Motley II, Swanville
l07 and Royalton 1-5. In connection
with the figures, it must be noted that
since the last census Hillman and
Granite towns have been taken cut of
Pierz territory, Ro-ing from Motley,
Richardson from Polaski and Clough
enlarged with Green Prairie territory.
Following is the report received,
subject to revision:

NEW REFORMATORY LAW

Ten men have Deen received ct the
Minnesota state reformatory at St..
Cloud under sentence by the terms of
the new law that permits Immediate
sentence UPON the admission of guilt
by the accused, says the Journal
Press In this judicial district the
only county to take advantage of the
law of 1905 10 Otter Tail. where Judge
Baxter the other day sent q man to
the Saltwater penitentiary. Stearns
county has q man In the person Of
CHARLES Kasey, bound over to the
grand jury for grand larceny and
awaiting sentence, and it is probable
that he will be arraigned and SEN
fenced within the next week. The
law permits prisoners bound over to
grand jury to appear before the dis.
trict judge, plead guilty to the
charge against them and be son.
fenced without awaiting Indictment
by the grand jury and subsequent
trial. So far as this law has been
tried 1t has on the whole given good
satisfaction. While 1t assures tho
punishment of the prisoner If he IL
willing to plead guilty it reduces the
expense OF the connty in the matter.
The cost Of maintenance in the county
Jail while awaiting grand Jury &C.
tion is cut off, az well as the fees Of
witnesses before the grand jury while
giving it's time to the consideration
of the matter.
The new law does not apply to all
ofenses but only to those oomparati ve.
ly light In character. It provides that
any person held in Jail on a charge
punishable with reformatory sen.
tence or not more than five years in
the penitentiary, on making written
application, may be allowed to plead
guilty without waiting for the in
dictment. Only, in such cases, in
lieu OF the true bill. the county attor-
nev is required to file with the court
statement of his case against tire
prisoner.
