1GuILM|FI If IS
FOUND GUILTY
FIRST DEGREE MURDER is THE
VERDICT OF THE JURY AT
cRooksToN.
NEW TRIAL TO BE ASKED FOR
ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE or AN
IMPORTANT NATURE IS
SECURED.
VERDICT IS a SURPRISE
PUBLIC SENTIMENT SAID TO BE
AGAINST THE JuRYs
VERDICT.

Crookston, Mimi, Dec. 30.-The jury
in the trial of Joseph Guilmette,.
charged with the murder of Matthias
Mongeon. returned verdict of muir
der in the first degree, as charged in
the Indictment last evening at 1880
o'clock, after having been out bu. two
and a half hours. Attorneys for nei-
Their state nor defense were present
when the defendant was brought into
court by Jailer Jerome.
Guilmettes wonderful nerve did not
desert him in the critical hour and he
heard the verdict without giving the,
slightest evidence of emotion
1t is understood that the jury took
one informal ballot before supper,
reached a final decision Immediately
after recovering, and came into court
as soon as the attendance of TIL. Judge
and prisoner could be secured. After
the verdict was given the attorneys
for the defense went to the Jail for
conference with their client
1t is quite certain that new trial
will be asked for on the grounds that
additional evidence of an important
nature has been secured.
Verdict Surprise.
The verdict was surprise to the
general public, as the verdict of MUIR
der in the second degree or a disa-
greement was expected. Judge Watts
was liberal in his charge to the jury
and the hopes of the defense were
based largely on the courts instruc-
tions.
Judge Watts will not sentence the
prisoner until after the first of the
new year, and If new trial is not Sc
cured, it is confidently predicted that
he will recommend life imprisonment
instead of the death penalty. It is
probable that fund will be raised in
Crookston for the further defense Of
the accused, il a new trial is secured,
as public sentiment is against the YER
dict that was returned. a
Abb Is a Failure.
Joseph Guilmette was charged with
shooting to death his companion,
Matthias Mongeon, on the railroad
track one mile east of Mentor on Oct.
II, and County Attorney Rowe, assist.
ed by Martin O'Brien, presented an
unbroken chain of circumstantial evil.
dence to the jury. Attorney Brochu Of
Woonsocket, r. l., Guilmettes home,
attempted to prove an alibi, but failed.
The victim OF the murder was from ST.
Pie. Province of Quebec, Canada. He
was more generally known here as
Joseph.

Toxic, Dec. 80. Trustworthy adj
vices from Port Arthur confirm the re.
port that Gen. Kondrac henko has been
killed and that Gen. Stoessel has been
injured by falling from his horse.
Gen. Smilnoff is also wounded.
The advices further state that the
stern of the battleship Sevastopol has
sunk in shallow water. Her bow was
damaged III two places and the steer
ing room gear is also damaged.
The garrison Is reported to be con-
fident in the belief that relief will ar
rive before March 1. Despite its
heavy losses Nov. rs and subsequently
the garrison is said to be cheerful and
resolved to continue the struggle as
long as a single soldier remains.
The army claims to have sufficient
provisions to last until February.
The navy possesses about one months
stores. The price of food in the be-
ieaguered fortress is high. Beef is a
rouble and a half per pound; horse
meat, s copecks per pound; dog meat,
rs copecks per pound; turkeys. $50
roubles apisce; eggs, 100 roubles per
hundred. But few junks bearing
supplies reached the garrison the past
month.
1t is expected that the capture of
the heights Of Pigeon bay will further
curtail the landing Of supplies.
1t is understood that the Japanese
dynamiting and paralleling against
the eastern section OF the main circle
OF forts around Port Arthur is pro.
crossing favorably. The right wing Of
the besiegers continues a heavy and
effective Smelling Of the new town pre-
paratory to operations which are near

1t is probable that the next attack
will be simultaneously directed
against the east and west faces of the

ers.

9 The Wcodmen lodge redeemed its
policy Immediately, but the other
three refused to pay, as it was main
tanned that Milton Miles died by his
own hand
The case of the plaintiff was based
on the. allegation that her husbands
death was due to accident. She main
tanned that one day. while doing some
repairing on the garments Of her hus-
band, she placed some valuable papers
and a revolver that were in his pock-

of greatest interest being by Haney, in

ex rel, P. R. Crothers and J. M. Bundy
VS.. J.. w. Barber, T. I. Thoersen and
Henry Mauch, trustees of the town of
Hetland, appellants, Kingsbury county,
in which Judge Whiting of the circuit
court was affirmed. This was the case
to test the liquor license law of the
state, in which the point at issue was
the rasht of a town board to grant Ii
cense where there had been no affirm.
alive vote at the last preceding cleo
ton. Judge Whiting held that an af-
f1rmative vote was required every year
before license could be issued, and
in this he has been sustained by the
supreme court This means that there
is not a legal saloon in the state, ex-
cept in towns where license was voted
at the election last spring, and it af-
fects mosttof the towns of the state.
