Major Murphy Arrested.

Major J. 8. Murphy, one Of the most
prominent citizens Of Minot and a lead
or of the Republican party in North
Dakota, was arrested last week upon
a charge of forgery in the third degree,
for alleged uttering Of forged road tax
receipts from the townships Of Ross
and Manitou in Ward county, the
forged receipts being for $245.15 and
$231.30. 1t is alleged the offense was
committed last September. Murphy
was arraigned before County Judge
Davis and placed under a $500 bond,
which was furnished. At the pre-
liminary hearing C. A. Dibble of the
tax department of the Great Northern
road testified that Murphy secured
the money and identified the vouchers.
A.. j. BURNER of Minot testified that
the signatures on the tax receipts were
Murphy's. The hearing was adj
.journed until this week. The state as
serts that Hurphy received the money,
never returning it back to the road
masters of the townships. For sew
eral years Murphy has been employed
by the Great Northern and 500 lines
to look after their road taxes. Muir
ply says the arrest is the result of po-
Etical warfare between the factions in
Ward county.

st. Petersburg, July ga landing
of Japanese troops on the island of
Sakhalin has been officially reported

since the defeat of Admiral Rojestven-
sky that the Japanese were able to
take possession of the island as soon
as they thought fit. The strength of
the landing force cannot be ascertain
ed, but the garrison of the island is
to2 weak to offer an effective defense.
Though the japanese seem unwill-

Found Guilty on Twenty.four Counts
OF Indictment.
st. Paul. July 8.-Guilty as charged
In tw%enty-four Of the counts In the In
dictment was the verdict returned by
the jury In the United States district
court in the case of Thomas B. Glenn
ent, the aged Faribault banker,
charged with misapplying the banks
funds and with making false entries
in the books and in reports to the
comptroller of the currency.
The indictment contained twenty
seven counts and the court directed a
verdict of not guilty in two of these,
so that the jury found the defendant
guilty in all but one Of the counts
submitted to it.
George N. Baxter, the defendants
attorney, made a motion for a new
trial and Judge Morris set the date for
the hearing on this motion as Nov. 10.
The defendant will continue at lib
erty on his bond, which Is a continue
ing one, and the passing Of sentence
will be deferred until after the court
has passed on the motion for a new
trial.
The penalty under each of the counts
is from five to ten years impfison-
ment, but the court may make the
sentences concurrent. This would
probably be done in this case, as the
Jurors unanimously recommended
mercy in behalf of the defendant.
