Garrett M WaIrod Found Guilty Of
Libeiinq James A, Everitt


Garrett M. Walrod was fined $25
and costs in criminal court yester-
day afternoon by Judge James a..
Pritchard, who found him guilty of
criminal:y libeling James A. Everitt
former p esident of the American So
ciety OF Equity Of North America.
Everitt filed the affidavit against
Walrod, o. D. Pauley and C. M.
Barnett, che .ging them with address
ing letter to the agricultural press
of the United States," which falsely
accused Everitt Of crooked practices.
It was averred by Eve lit that this
letter was mailed to number of peo-
pie in various parts of the country
and that it stated slanderous, defam-
atory and malicious accusations. Pau
ley and Barnett have not been tried
yet, as they asked 70. separate trials
The fining of Walrod was an unusual
proceeding as few persons have been
sound guilty. in criminal court of
criminal libel. Evidence in the case
was heard several weeks ago. The
trouble between Everitt and the de-
PENDANTS grew out Of disagreement
among the officers and leaders, of the
American Society of Equity Of North
America. indianapolis News, Dec.

Celebrated Twenty fifth

Minots Oldest Church, The First Lutheran Held
Important Services Sunday--Some Interest
ing Facts About Minots Early Ministers

Erik R. Ramstad's house on the pres
ent site Of the Great "Northe n Round
house and Peter Ramstad'sl house just
east, Of the present city limits, were
tue ones most f fequently used as
meeting places. The church organ
ized through Rev Aabergs efforts
was fl st called the Mouse River Nor
Weg:an Lutheran church. This has
later been changed to the First Lu-
theran church of Minot. The first re-
sident pastor of the church was Rev.
T.. S. Reishus, a brother of Wa d
county's we'll known register of deeds
He came in 1886, the year the rail-
road reached Minot In 1895 he was
succeeded by Rev. I. T. Strom. He
was succeeded in 1897 by Rev. r. H.
Tonneson who was in charge until
1908. From that time until now Rev.
N. "A. Larsen has been pastor of
the church. In late years many new
members have been added. The
church and Sunday school attendance
has increased several hundred per
cent and a beautiful new church,
costing not ia: from $4,000 has been
erected and almost paid for The
present officers Of the congregation
are: Pastor, Rev. N. A. Larsen;
treasurer, M. O. Seglen; secretary,

Minot's Oldest church, the First
Lutheran, celebrated its twenty-fifth
anniversary last Sunday in an appro-
pirate manner. At the morning Sc :
vice, Prof. H. G.. Stubb, D. D., sen
ior professor of theology of Luther
sem, MAJ y in st. Paul, and vice pre-
sident of the Synod, preached. Rev
!. D. Ylvisaker Of Mayvil.e, N. D.,
vice president of the northwestern
district Of the Synod, preached an
excellent sermon in English.
This chu ch is the First Lutheran,
whose house Of worship is the beauti-
full white brick building on the North
Side, between Walders, Cleveland and
Ward streets. Two years bef0 e the
Great Northern railroad reached Minot
this church was organized, on the
2Sth day Of December, 1884.
It Isl said that Roman Catholic mis-
sdonaries working among the Indians
had visited these parts at still
earlier date. But the first Protestant
minister to visit the white settlers
along the Mouse river was undoubted-,
ly the Rev. o. H. Aaberg then of
Devils Lake and now of Parkland,
Wash. In Oct. 1888, this sturdy
drove from Devils Lake
to the Mouse river country to hunt
for the settlers with view to hep
ing them organize a chu ch. Rev.
A4aberg made several visits and on
these occasions held services in the
log houses of the settlers. Pc haps

A Wise Guy

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 1.-two
stangers who approached Steven
Bena, a ia mer of Kenmare, N. D.,
IN the Milwaukee station today, with
a smile and hearty handshake, made
little impression on Bena. He was
we'll acquainted with the persuasive
manners of confidence men, he told
them, and he suggested they let him
spend his own money.
I'm on my way to Pressburg, Aus.
tria,'' said Bena. ''What money I
have VIII be used to pay transporta-
tion." The men cont1ded to Bena that
they were on the way to New York.
They thought it a good scheme to
travel together. Bena saw nothing
to excite his suspicious, and he dined
with the men in Washington ave-
nue. restaurant.
you had better take care Of my
money" said one of the men to his
companion, after the meal. "You
know what a spendrift I am" the
other replied, Il was thinking of hav-
ing you take care of mine,'' he con-
tinued and each displayed about 500
in bills.
Better let ou. friend be treasurer"
said the first man. The other agreed
It would lessen the chances Of be-
ing robbed, they said, as Bena was
husky fellow. One of them took
large white handkerchief from his
pocket and Bena, proud to think his
friends would trust him, agreed to
to keep the money. One of the swim
dlers put Bena's $65 in the handke--
chief and added the money of him
self and friend.
!, 1--WE will see you in the depot in
an hour" said the men as they walked
away. For three and one-half hours
Bena stood in the Milwaukee station
awaiting the return of his compan-
ions. His train pulled out without
him.
An hour later he decided he would
count the money in the handkerchief.
He did not just remember how much
each man had given him to keep.
Slowly he unfolded the handkerchief
and slowly it dawned on him that
he had been feeced. The handker-
chief contained nothing but news
paper and a cigar clipping.
