by the defense. The elder Weberg,
father of the young man in Jail for
murder, it is stated, has exhibited
signs Of insanity at various times.
and as matter of fact, was but re-
Gently from the state hospital for the
insane at, jamestown.
Sunday night, it appears, was not
the first time that young Weberg had
shot at his enamorita. About year
dining room, he pulled a gun and fired
point blank at Miss Engalsrud. On
that occasion his aim was poor. and
bystanders disarmed him before he
could do any harm. Miss Engalsrud
at that time refused to prosecute, and
Weberg was not made to suffer for
his reckless disregard of the law. A
few weeks later, however, he again
created disturbance, was arrested,
brought into justice court, and COM
PEELED to furnish bond of 500 to
keep the peace.
The Fairdale hotel in which the
shooting occurred, and which was the
scene of the previous disturbances, is
called the Smith house.
Those who know Weberg and his
family state that he is ordinarily a
peaceable and well-behaved young
man, and barring his love fracases
has never been in trouble before. The
fact that insanity exists in the family
and the further fact of his most I'M
warranted and exceptional crime will
probably make his defense, on the
theory of insanity, not as hard as
might be supposed.

ization laws which went into effect
Oct. 9th had not arrived. Last week
the necessary papers came in and the
fact was heralded in the papers and the
clerk of court became reconciled to
the big rush which ne fully expected
would follow.
The rush failed to come to- and
indeed until last night the clerk had
absolutely no practice with the new
forms. Yesterday two hopeful citizens
took out first papers, the first applica-
ton differing but little from the old
blanks.
Under the provisions OF the new
naturalization law, however, there is
considerable change in the manner of
taking out final papers. Application
must be made to the Department Of
Commerce and Labor at Washington
and ninety days must elapse before
the case comes up for final hearing.
Moreover the names of the applicants
must be posted in a public place for
like period.

CARLOAD Of FISH
CONSUMED
WEEKLY
Grand Forks People Devour
1000 of the Finny Tribe
Every Seven Days.

Few people know that Grand Forks
is the fish distributing center of the
Northwest as Duluth or Superior are
generally thought of, as the points
from whence the fish consumed in this
and adjoining cities are shipped. How
ever it remains fact that this city
is the distributing point and that over
one carload averaging 10000 lbs is
used up every week. 10000 pounds of
fish is a big bunch and taking pounds
as an average will figure up to over
1000 of the finny tribe.
These fish are handled by the Grand
Forks Fish company a concern organ
lied in this city two years ago and
are sold in wholesale lots to butch
ers and storekeepers over the state.
With the present car shortage and ac-
cdmpanying snow blocade the entire
weekly carload is sold right in Grand
Forks showing that the people of this
city are good fish eaters.
The fish handled by this Grand Forks
company are whitefish, pike, pickerel,
herring, halibut and several other
varieties, most of them being caught in
the waters Of Lake Manitoba and Lake
Winnipeg, Canadian lakes. The her.
ring and halibut, however, are gotten
from the Great Lakes via Superior
fish dealers.
This is the height Of the fish season
and whitefish are retailing at Is cents
per pound. Pike comes next with a
levy, of u IL per lb. Pickerel is
away down to 12 with herring at 6
IL.

INQUEST OVER GIRLS REMAINS v

Either utter inability to appreciate
the enormity of his crime, or else a
daredevil disregard, keeps Otto We
berg, murderer of Miss Annie Engals-
rud of Fairdale, N. D., in state of
mind that does not admit of under
standing. He is apparently undis-
turbed and unmoved, and converses
with his keepers in the Walsh county
Jail at Grafton in manner that would
not lead one to believe the man must
soon face trial for murder-one of the
most spectacular, uncalled for and
unmitigated in the history of that Sec
ton of the state.
Sheriff Hankey of Walsh county
went to Adams on Monday, and today
returned with DR.. Greenwood, COR
oner of Walsh county, and this after
noon an inquest over the remains of
the murdered girl is being held at
Fairdale-the scene of Sunday nights
crime. There seems little doubt that
the coroner's jury will hold Weberg
responsible for the murder, and that
he will be brought to trial in the
courts of the state to answer for his
crime. Deputy Sheriff Arnot informed
the Evening Times this morning that
the preliminary hearing of Weber will
probably be held before Justice RI A.
Ball of Grafton on Wednesday.
It is understood that arrangements
for Weberg's defense have not been
completed, and probably will not until
the arrival of his father, who resides
at Park River. In this connection, it
is announced, but not authoritively,
that a plea of insanity will be set up

This continued till finally the organs
became badly swollen up, and it was
then that Mr. Weller suspected that
every thing WAS not right with the

showed that the skin on his ears had
become affected by some poisonous
substance used on the fur. No serious
developments are expected, but Mr..
