ism. He has at all times since up
held the banner of the party, and
since becoming a resident of Balgey
has did yoeman work for the repub-
lican party in Clearwater county.
Mr.. Kaiser has never asked for
anything at the hands of the repub-
lican party, and he is not making
any active canvass at the present
time as delegate from the ninth
Congressional District.
However, it is known that he
would accept the honor if given him,
and there is decided sentiment in
favor of his election. There is no
doubt but what he would be a for
midable candidate for one of the del
egates from the ninth Congressional
District of Minnesota to the repub-
lican national convention.
Mr.. Kaiser deserves much at the
hands of the republican party and
should be given the position of dele
gate without any opposition what
ever.

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS
HEARD MATHIESON CASE
Attorney G. NJ Torrance Appeared Before Board in Behalf
of Mathieson, Sentenced to Hang February 7th....
Case Taken Under Amusement.

In some way the gun went off
and when he saw what had happened
he became confused, but finally took
the dead mans pocket book and cut
the clothing from his body in order
to get it through the hole he had cut
in the ice.
Mr.. Torrance stated that Mathie-
son did not know the nature of the
certificate of deposit until friend in
Tenstrike showed him one and said
he could get the money on it at any
bank. The next day Mathieson
cashed the certificate found in
Johanson's pocket book. He stated
that the friend, jacobson, at first
denied showing Mathieson a certif-
cate but on cross-examination adj
mitted that he had done so. Mathia-
sen, he said, remained in the vicinity
of Tenstrike thirty days after the
shooting and when he left said he
was going to the place where he
was later found.
In handling the gun in the
court room after the jury had
retired, he said it was found
that the trigger would snap when
the gun received a jar. The first
verdict was formal disagreement
and the jury was sent back for
further elaboration. Mr.. Torrance
said that two of the jury we're
never satisfied of his guilt, but
understood that the death penalty
could not be inflicted when the
jury recommended clemency by the
court, as was done in this case.
&C. A. Quist of Minneapolis said
he had paid no attention to the
case until he read letter sent by
Mathieson to Danish newspaper
in Omaha. Upon reading the let
ter he cecame convinced that the
case ought to be more fully investi-
gated and he would promise to
contribute to fund for that pur-
pose. The board finally continued
the case until next Tuesday,"
The pardon board took the case
of Mathieson under advisement
until next Tuesday, when there will
be another meeting of the board,
and the case will be fully considered
and decision rendered.

The state board of pardons on
Monday considered the application
of Peter Mathiesen for communication
of sentence from hanging to life i'm.
prisonmen+. G.. NJ. Torrance of
this city appeared on behalf of
Mathieson.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press of
Tuesday morning contains the fol-
lowing account of the hearing:
Was Johan Johanson the victim
of an accident, or was he murdered
in cold blood, robbed and thrust in.
to the lake through hole in the
ice? This question was raised be.
fore the pardon board yesterday up.
on the application for pardon for
Peter Nielsen Mathieson, sentenced
in Beltrami county, Oct. 5, 1907, to
death for murder in the first degree
for killing Johanson. Attorney Tor
rance, who was appointed by the
court to defend Mathieson, said that
he came down for the hearing at his
own expense because of his interest
in the case.
"Mathieson, he said, was born in
Denmark and had been in this coun-
try only about months when the
shootingtook place. He had formed
close friendship with Johanson,
and while working in the woods
near Tenstrike, Beltrami county,
they bunked together. Later the
two men moved across the lake, and
in the spring Johanson's body was
found naked in the lake with a bull
let shot in the left eye. Mathieson
had disappeared and was found in
Portland, Or, and brought back. 1t
developed he had taken Johansen's
money and deposit for $500, to
which he had forged the latter's sig.
nature and secured the cash. After
giving the statement of the facts in
the case, Chief Justic Start said he
admitted all except the manner OF
death.
This statement of the facts was
admitted to be about correct.
Mathieson's story was that he was
about to put some wood into the
stove and laid a gun, which the two
had purchased a few days prior,
upon the table.

A. KAISER MENTIONED AS
9Th DISTRICT DELEGATE
Sentiment Fayors the BagIey Man as a
Delegate to the Republican Ma
ti0naI Convention.

From all appearances. brisk fire
is being kindled under the poll
teal pot'' in the Ninth Congress
sional District of Minnesota, and
already there is considerable talk
among the republicans of the dis
tricts as to who will be delegates to
the republican state convention
this spring or early in the summer,
which convention will elect delegates
to the national republican conven-
ton.
The Ninth Congressional District
is entitled to two delegates to the
national republican convention, and
there has been considerable discus
sion as to who should be selected
as delegates from this district.
In this connection the name of
Albert Kaiser of Bagley has been
mentioned very favorably. -. Mr..
Kaiser has been a lifelong repub-
lican, and the services which he has
rendered the republican party while
resident of this district have been
at all times performed in a very
creditable manner and with most
excellent results.
Mr.. Kaiser was for number OF
years prominently identified with
the republican politics in Polk
county. At the time of the populis.
tic Landslide in 1890, when it was
considered a "josh'' for a republican
to attempt to run for office in Polk
county, Mr.. Kaiser stood firm and
worked increasingly for republican.
