I'VE have had plenty of snow in

Dakota some of the branch railway
lines were put out of business tenn

these were untrue. Hard winters

VERDICT is "eUILrY."
Otto Weherp Convicted Of First De.
gree Murder.

Otto Weherp Convicted Of First De.
gree Murder.
The Jury at Grafton in the case at
Otto Weberg, accused of the murder
Of Anna Engalsrud, returned a ver-
dict Of guilty of murder in the first
degree. and fixed the penalty at life
imprisonment.
The jury was out seventeen hours.
On the first ballot 1t stood three for
acquittal, seven for manslaughter and
two for murder in the first degree.
Weberg was at once sentenced by
Judge Kneeshaw. The court thanked
the jury for the conscientious manner
in which the members had performed
their duty. He said the defendant
had been ably defended, but there was
no doubt, that he was guilty and sane
at tho time he had committed the
murder.
Judge Kneeshaw said to Weberg
that he was lucky to escape with life
imprisonment after committing such
q coldlblooded crime.
Weberg displayed little emotion
while the jury returned its verdict
or when the sentence of the court
was pronounced. He bore a look of
relief when 1t was made known that
he would not be hanged. He had been
fearful that he would be hanged, and
he expressed willingness to take
life imprisonment.
The only time he broke down was
when he said good-by to his attorney,
E. r. sinkler. Tears rolled down his
cheeks as he thanked his counsel for
saving him from the gallows.
Weberg will be taken to Bismarck
early next week to begin serving his
sentence: Attorney Sinkler probably
will take the case to the supreme
court.
