Frank Dobmeier Student at the Uni.
yersity Injured While Jumping
From Moving Train.

Frank Dobmeier. a former resident
of this city now living on farm two
or three miles west near the junction,
is wearing badly bruised face, the
result of severe fall the result of
jumping from moving passenger
train near the junction. Were it not
that Mr.. Dobmeier was on the rear
platform when he jumped fatal results
might have been recorded as the tum-
BILE rolled him around over the track
and down into the ditch.
Mr.. Dobmeier utilities the Great
Northern trains between this city and
the junction as means of communica-
lions to and fro. The other evening
thinking to jump off further down the
track he stuck to the train after II
had stopped at the junction. When
he jumped, the train had acquired
quite velocity and he went spinning
through the air like rubber ball.
His face was badly bruised and bat
tered but no serious result will at
tend. Mr.. Dobmeier is student at
the university.

year. At the beginning, the team from
Winnipeg went into the game SO
spirited that it seemed that the boys
of North Dakota would be played off

last. Both teams soon settled down to
hard, brainy, fast playing, which was
certainly of a high order throughout
the game. The game was remarkably

VALUABLE PEARL PIN LOST

Mr.. Weber does not know where he

$13 or $14 will be much missed, but
it is the memories associated with
the pin that make the loss so keen1y

n " ]. 8. Murphy, Minot, was SEN
n ed by Judge Pollock of Fargo to
6teen months in the state peni-
4 Hilary. Major Murphy was convict
last December of the crime, and
Immediately following the pronunct-
b Stion of the sentence, stay of execu-
don of thirty days was granted, and
ian appeal Immediately taken to the
Ssupreme court.
an Judge Pollock, in his address to Mr..
" Murphy gave history of his arrest,
1 trials and subsequent conviction. He
\ said it was unfortunate that the case
! was tried in Fargo, because of the
distance from Minot, but he said this
could have been changed by the de-
PENDANT. He told of the care taken
Of the jury, keeping them together and
preventing them from coming in con-
tact with any outside persons, Of how
newspaper accounts of the trial were
kept from them so that the verdict
could be based wholly upon the tes-
timony.
Denies Report.
"The rumor which was sent out and
which found its way into the press to
the effect, insubstance, that had en-
tered the jury room and Improperly
attempted to coerce the jury into
bringing in a verdict, is wholly with
out foundation in fact, so that 1t can
not be urged that the jury were i'm
properly influenced in view of the
further fact that the court instructed
the jury, by written instructions, which
were constantly in their hands, that
defendant in a criminal action Is pre-
sumed to be innocent until the con-
trary is proved, and in case of a rea-
sonable doubt as to whether his guilt
is satisfactorily shown he is entitled
to be acquitted; and further that the
law requires that no man shall be
convicted of crime until each and
every one of the jury is satisfied from
the evidence in the case to the ex-
clusion of every reasonable doubt that
the defendant is guilty as charged.
The verdict of the jury made it his
DUTY 10 pronounce sentence on MIN,
Judge Pollock said. The statutes
place the punishment for the crime at
from one to five years in the peniten-
tiary. He then told of the purpose of
punishment, and then asked the de-
PENDANT if he had any legal reason
why he should not pronounce sentence
upon him.
Major Murphy Replies.
II don't know that I have. I could
give good many legal reasons which
are very strong, yet don't know that
I have any that actually wish to
make. Judge Lauder just told me that
the court would probably ask me that
question, and he told me that I had
better say did not have any. I,
however, wish to say this, that I am

Another Large Building Will
Be Erected This Year IN c. F.

The construction of another large
structure for Grand Forks is under
contemplation. The new building will
be three stories in height, located on
the lot Immediately adjoining the
Spriggs building on North Fourth
street and with the third story which
it is planned to add to the present
Spriggs block, will make one large
building which will be a substantial
and creditable addition to the list of
fine structures in Grand Forks.
VIM. Spriggs announced this morn
ing that workmen had already started
preliminary work, sucn as getting
measurements, and other data to be
used in the plans. The actual work
of building, however, will not be I'M
dertaken until spring opens.
The cost of the new building and

the improvements to the Sprlggs
block, will reach close up to $4,000
or 100000, but as yet no official
figures are obtainable as the plans
are still in the rough" so to speak
The building will be of brick con-
struction throughout, pressed brick
front with sandstone trimmings, the
lower floor to be modelled for store
purposes with plate glass front. The
two upper floors will be specially In
tended for flat rental purposes and as
such will be fitted up in fine shape.
The building will run back to the
alley. The site of the contemplated
structure is, at present, taken up by
a frame dwelling house occupied by
DR.. Sta ~, but this house will be moved
to another location in the residence
portion of town.

Sensation was indeed caused today
in the city of Larimore when the an
nouncement of the arrest of Senske
and Corners, with the subsequent con-
fession of the first named, was made.
Senske is we'll known in Lorimore,
having resided there for the last three
years. Bearing the best of reputa-
tons, highly spoken of by the Off
Gals, his fall comes as a double shock
to his many friends.
Special Agents J. NJ. Delaney and
P. B. Foley, assisted by Chief of Police
Dick Fadden of Larimore made the
arrests. The charge preferred against
the men is that of breaking into a
freight car and stealing therefrom a
quantity of goods. The officials had
been investigating the case for several
days, and had considerable evidence
at hand. When confronted with this,
Senske at once broke down.
The burglarizing of the car occurred
while it was in transit between
Thompson and Larimore. A half
dozen suits of clothes, shoes and other
wearing apparel were taken, large
amount of which has been recovered.
being found in Senske's caboose, his
home and at Corners room in Lari-
more hotel. AS soon az the discovery
of the burglary was made, the Off
Gals started an investigation, ending
with the Larimore arrests.
c. J. Senske had charge Of the train
at the time of the burglary, and it
was an easy thing for them to effect
the entrance to the car and extract
the goods.
Conductor Senske is married man.
35 years of age and has been in the
employ of the Great Northern as con-
ductor for the last three years. He
has always borne an excellent reputa-
ton, and the company officials speak
highly of him. His wife is visiting in
Rock Rapids, MIMI, and it is under
stood that she is about to become a
mother. Corners is a boomer brake
man, having been with the company
only week.
1t is possible that Senske will enter
a plea of guilty in the district court,
hoping in that manner to secure an
easier sentence.
