STAY OF EXECUTION OF TEN
DAY SENTENCE GRANTED
BY THE COURT.

New York, Oct. 2s.--Arthur p.
Heinze, associated with his brother,
F. Augustus Heinze, In the affairs OF
the United Copper Co., nearly landed
in the Tonpbs for a ten day sentence
yesterday afternoon, but at the last
moment Judge Ward, In the United
States court, granted a stay of exc
cution and Heinze's release under
$4,000 bail pending the filing of an APP
plication of WRIT of error.
Heinze was convicted some time ago
of advising a witness to evade the
service of grand jury subpoena at a
time when the government was at
tempting to get hold Of the books of
the United Copper CO. Acting on this
conviction, Judge Ray in the United
States circuit court sentenced him 10
pay a fine of $3.50 and to serve ten
days In prison.
Scored by the Judge.
In passing sentence, Judge Ray said
that the offense of which Heinze stood
convicted, was a wilfuI, deliberate and
premeditated obstruction of the adj
ministration of justice.
"You advised the covering up and
hiding and furnished the money for
witnesses to leave the jurisdiction Of
the court" he said, land the admins
tration Of the law must be respected"

MORE EMBALNED MEAT
Butcher at Glen Ullin by Name of
Horst Pleaded Guilty to Using
Chemical Personalities.

That some butchers of North Da-
kota still persist in using chemical
preservatives in their meats, to their
sorrow, was made evident by q letter
received by Dean e. F. Laid, state pure

The letter was from States Attorney
Hanley of Morton county. stating that
a butcher at Glen Ullin by the name
of Horst had pleaded guilty to the
charge of using chemical preservatives
in some Of his prepared meats, and
was fined $780,
This is the first case of this kind
that has been brought to light in some
time and shows that while some will
take the risk of getting caught, there
are few butchers in the state that are
still putting harmful ingredients into
their food products.
