man
Are Seeking to Secure Control
Of Property Valued at
About $4,000.
ANETA MAN MADE
TRIP-DIDN'T RETURN
Matter Was Up Before Judge
Templeton Today on Motion
to Intervene.

When X. o. Trinterud left his home
in Aneta, Nelson county, two years
ago for trip to Europe, he neglected
to inform his wife of the fact that he
would not return.
Recently Mrs. Annie G. Trinterud,
wife of the traveller, made application
for leave to manage and control the
property, which is located in. Aneta
and is valued at about $4,000.
This morning the matter came be-
fore Judge Templeton on a motion
made by Attorneys Pierce & Tenneson
of Fargo. They represented one Aagot
Trinterud. and asked leave to inter-
vene in the application Of Mrs. Trim
terud. The motion was argued, Judge
Templeton reserving his decision.
Some two years ago Trinterud left
his home, apparently abandoning his
wife. Under provision of a state
law, after a husband has abandoned
and neglected his family for period
of more than year. the wife shall
have the right to make application for
the management Of any property
owned. 1t is under this statute that
the wife made application in this case.

D|SL0CATED RIGHT SHOULDER
John Mcleod Suffers of Painful In.
jury-Accident Occurred In Court
House Attic.

While stalking through the darkened
attic Of the county court house this
morning, John Mcleod, the jovial
janitor, stumbled over loose plank
and fell headlong among the rafters,
striking on his head and shoulders and
dislocating the right shoulder. The
accident was a very painful one, but
Mr.. Mcleod made his way back down
two flights of stairs to County Audi
tor Hans Anderson's Office where he
was taken in charge by Deputy Chas.
Evanson and removed to his home in
a hack. Physicians were called and
the bone was set back in the socket
and no serious results re expected.
Mr.. Mcleod will be ION the shelf for
several days, however.
The accident happened shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock this morning, as Mr..
Mcleod was making his way to the
belfry to hoist the flag commemorative

BELIEVES BODY WAS
CONSUMED IN
FLAMES
Additional Light on Disap-
pearance Of Harry F.
Adams.

More light was shed on the mysteri-
GUS disappearance of Harry F. Adams,
of Rock Lake, N. D., when last night
Miss Sue Maloney of the ingalls,
house stated that not only was the
man in the city on April 10, but also
on the evening of April IA. The Bart
lett wreck in which he is supposed to
have persisted, occurred early the next
morning and not on April 8, as stated
last night.
Adams was here with the Virginian
troupe on April 10, but went with the
company to Winnipeg, where he left
the company on April IA, being called
home by telegram. The explanation
now given general credence is that
he stopped of in Grand Forks on Sun
day evening, April IA enroute to his
home.
Miss Maloney of the ingalls, hotel
states that she had known the man for
some time and before leaving the hotel
for the dll-fated Oriental Limited, he
told her of the sickness of his four
months old baby. Miss Maloney is
convinced that Adams was a victim
of the wreck.

The only records of weather condi-

General Creel Of Devils Lake, who

June will be an ideal growing month,
with just enough warmth and mois-

secution-History of the
Case.
JUDGE KNEEsHAW
TO PRESIDE AND

One of the most sensational GRIMM
al libel suits in the court annals of
the state. will come up for trial on
Thursday at Burleigh with Judge
Kneeshaw of Pembina presiding. At
torney Bardi G. Skulason leaves to-
morrow night to assist in the prosecu-
ton.
The case is one entitled the State
VS.. Gray. the latter being preacher
of Washburn. The litigation grew
out of an election episode, it being
alleged that Rev. Gray caused to be
circulated broadcast over Mclean
county the night preceding the cleo
ton in October, handbills with a
sworn statement defaming the char
acter of County Superintendent of
Schools Olson. who was a candidate
for reelection. A portion of the state
ment is as follows:
s. H. Gray being duly sworn
under solemn oath says:
On Aug. %, 1904, a niece came
to visit myself and wife at Wash
burn. Among the first she met
was Superintendent of Schools
Olson and the two Immediately
became friendly. We suspected
nothing, for the girl was young
and innocent, but We soon had
reason to regret our trustfulness.
Later we read letter which
she had written to him. a letter
full of love and pleading from
one who had been spurned in
which she said: "This is the
first time I have ever fallen"
After that their relations ended.
She seems to have been spurned
and cast aside by the man who
had ruined her. Signed
IS. H. Gray.
October %.
Gray was arrested the last of Jan
uary and before Justice A. G. Ranard
of Washburn he waived examination
and was informed against and ar
raisned on Feb. 8. He then appealed
for change in the place of trial,
alleging prejudice on the part of
Judge Winchester and the people of
Mclean county. The appeal was
granted.
States Attorney w. L. Nuessle will
be assisted in the prosecution by At
torney Bardi Skulason who was en-
gagged by the county commissioners
while Attorneys McCulloch and Glib
son of Washburn are looking after
Rev. Gray's interests.
