With the belated coming OF this winters
big snow storms the garages are for the
most part given over to the dead storage
of cars, whose temperance awaits the
clearing Of the roads again in the spring.
A few owners Of the sturdier types of
cars, however, have learned there Is no
more exhilarating form OF the sport than
auto sleighing." The stay-at-homes are
missing the time OF their lives" says
H.. C. Townsend, who drove a Berliet
through the rocks and sand of the last
Giidden our with a perfect score. There
is no more glorious sport than this
snow-bucking. This bounding over ice
hummocks and plunglng through snow
drifts beats sDmming over smooth mac
adams all hollow. One must have beneath
him, however, a car that has the real
stun in II, or woe betide springs and

should say not. The American Locomotive

you to use mechanical cushioas 70 save

Harry X. Thaw Not Guilty.

Adjudged not guilty Of the
murder Of Stanford White by
reason of insanity at the time the
fatal shots were fired, Harry K.
Thaw was today held by the court
to be dangerous lunatic and was
whirled away to the State Hos
pital for the Criminal insane at
Matteawan.
It was a quick transition from
the dingy little cell in the Tombs,
which had been the young mans
home for more than eighteen
months, to the white-bedded
wards of the asylum tucked away
on the snow-covered, sloping
banks of the Hudson river, fifty
miles above New York city.
The verdict came after twenty
five hours Of waiting, and all con-
nected with the case abandoned
all hope Of agreement ever being
reached in this or any other trial.
Very shortly after the foreman's
lips framed the words mot
guilty" with the accompanying
clause, Thaw, protesting he was
sane, was on his way to Mattea-
wan. The commitment papers
to the asylum read until releas-
ed by due course Of law"

Death Of O. A. Holemo.

His many friends here were in
deed shocked when they learned
that Olaf F. Holemo. a represen-
tative of Armor & Co. of Chicago,
died of pneumonia at his home in
Bismarck the latter part Of last
week.
Mr.. Holemo was we'll and fav-
orably known in this city, and
has many friends here who sim
cerely regret his untimely demise.
The following is an account of
the funeral, which is taken from
the Bismarck Tribune;
On Sunday afternoon the fu-
neral services for Olaf F. Holemo
were held at the Episcopal church
at 2::30 o'clock and the remains
were escorted from the Roanoke
hotel to the church by the Masons.
The church was packed with the
friends Of the deceased, who
were there to sincerely mourn
his departure. Archdeacon Jones
conducted the services and spoke
feelingly Of the departure Of one
whom he had known intimately
and had learned to love for his
devotedness to the church and
his sterling qualities. But, strick-
en- down in the prime of youth,
the departed one passed out of
the world ere he scarce knew it's
troubles.
| A sister and a younger brother
were the only relatives Of the de-
ceased present. They accom-
panied the remains to the old
home at Ironwood, Mich, where
the interrment will take place.
| Seldom has a death SO affected
"a whole community as has thi.
one and it may be truly said thai
the public sorrows with the be
reaved family.

on behalf of the state, later.
At $3.50 court was adjourned until
$50 p. M, when County Attorney
Stanton, for the state, and Mr..
Scrutchin, for the defense, would
make their pleas.
When court re-convened in the
evening larger crowd than had
yet been at the trial was assembled
in the court room, every seat being
taken, and tie aisles and along the
wall were filled with people.
Mr.. Stanton, in behalf of the
state, addressed the jury in his
closing plea, and the address was
listened to with marked atten-
ton. +
Mr.. Stanton stated that he was
completely impressed with the case
OF the state as being convincing
and clear, while that of the de-
tense was weak and evasive. He.
stated that he believed that the
defense as we'll as the state had

every confidence in the fairness of
the jury and believed the gentle
men would arrive at just and fair
verdict.
The speaker believed that he had
proved all and more than he had
claimed in his opening address.
Mr.. Stanton, in referring to the
killing of Williams, asserted that
Williams had been murdered by
Godetts, with GOODNESS and DELHI
erateness of intent and planning that
surpassed understanding. Godetts
had killed an old man, probably over
90 years of age, a man who did not
have a bad character. Godetts had
presumed that all he had to do was
to 20 to Big Falls and give himself
up, which he had done, and claim
that he had to kill Williams in self
defense.
People had gone out to find the
dead body Of the old man, which was
lying face downward, with wounds
visible to anyone.
The testimony showed that Co.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-02-25

detts had two days afterwards made
a confession, with his own free will,
after having been told that he need
not do so if he did not so desire.
According to the statement of
Godetts an old man of so years had
come out of his cabin and thrown an
ak at Godetts, a champion pugilist.
He would not have dared to have
thrown an ak at a champion prize
fighter who, according to his own
statement, had never been knocked
out.
Mr.. Stanton reviewed the state
ment of Godetts as to having eased
around the house" and shot Williams
not once, but four times, in so-called
self-defense, two shots having been
fired after Williams had been rem
dered helpless by two previous shots.
The speaker ridiculed the idea of
fear on the part of Godetts, who
had a loaded revolver in his pocket.
Mr.. Stanton called attention as to

THREE PERSONS PERISH
in BAD FIRE AT HINES
Wells Johnson Vna Doyle and Rodney Owens Lose Their
Lives in Early Morning Fire at Hnes.-..Four
Other Persons Injured

One of the most destructive fires
to occur in this part of the country,
was the fire that occurred at Hines
this morning, rendering homeless
the family of V. M. Owen and burn
ing to death three human beings.
The dead being Wells Johnson,
brother of Mrs. V. M. Owen and
who was clerking in the store for
them at that time; Vina Doyle, a
domestic in the Owens family, and
Rodney Owen, the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Owens and but Ell ht
months of age.
AS was his usual custom Mr..
Owen staid in the store until a late
hour, retiring at about 11:45 p. m,
everything at that time seeming
apparently all right.
Shortly after 1890 a. m. the whole
family were aroused by the cracking
of the flames and noticed their
means of escape was all shut off,
leaving the only means of escaping
from the burning building that of
jumping from the window.
Upon the first discovery of the
fire all thought was for the saving of
the infant child and the other chill
dren.
The child was asleep in it's crib
over the kitchen at the outbreak of
the fire, and Wells Johnson, the first
one to notice the child's danger,
made heoric effort to save the little
one from the flames, but persisted as
he was lifting the little one out of it,
crib.
Miss Vina Doyle, the young lady
who was working for the Owens,
slept in a room over the kitchen,
and all escape for her was barred by
the flames and she persisted without
any chance of escape.
Frank Owen, did heroic work in
the saving of lives and he and Les
ter Johnson and V. M. Owen sue
ceeded in rescuing the two little
girls of V. M. Owen, Mrs, Frank
Owen and Mrs. V. M. Owens.
The means of escape being all

COUNTERFEITERS NABRED
FOR PASSING BAD BILLS
Coney Miller and Thomas Kennedy Arrested by Deputy
Sheriff J. N Bailey for Passing Counterfeit
Ten Dollar Bills

Deputy Sheriff ]. N. Bailey re-
turned this morning from Funkley,
where he went last night to serve
warrants on Coney Miller and
Thomas Kennedy, two hangers-on
at that place, bringing them with
him to Bemidji this morning.
The warrants were sworn out BY
Louis Lateral, charging them With
having passed counterfeit ten-dol-
lar gold certificates. In the charge
Mr.. Lateral says that Kennedy
passed one of these at his place of
business on last Saturday and that
Monday another was passed by
Miller, Miller giving the counterfeit
certificate to another man to have
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-02-25

changed for him. Mr.. Lateral saw
this transaction, took the ten-dollar
bill and requested the men to keep
away from the prisoners until he
could get to Bemidji and have the
proper papers made out.
Upon examination of the certif-
Gates it is said that the counterfeit
is crude piece of work, though
person in giving change for them
and not examining them closely,
would take them for the genuine
ten-dollar gold certificate.
The defendants will be given a
hearing before a justice of peace
here and will no doubt be bound
over to await the action of the grand
Jury.
