Second Degree Murder Found

Minimum Sentence-Granted Ten
Days Arrest of Judgment.

DR.. MoelIer, charged with secon1
degree murder, in connection with
the death Of Gina Lem, the Unioos
n. d. music teacher, was found guilty
a second time, and has been sentennoA
to serve ten years at hard labor in ~
penitentiary at Bismarck. This 70
the minimum sentence. The defenA-
ant was granted a ten day arrest 81
judgment, and he will ask for n0W
trial. His bonds were continued aAd
he is now at liberty.
The jury which was out all OF m
day night, brot in verdict OF guilty
at $50 o'clock Saturday morning.
This was quite surprise to 0oo1
many, inasmuch as the jury had besn
out SO long, 1t was generally expect
ed that the verdict would be an 10
quittal or that the jury would d.
agree. The state, however, WAS vsRy
confident all thru the trial, claimiAg
to have stronger case than ever.
DR.. Moeller was convicted OF this
crime before but appealed to the 9u-
preme court, and was granted 4 new
trial because of the testimony Of
travelling man named Pa srud, to
whom Dale had talked just befues
securing DR. Moeller to walt upon GINA
Lem. Judge Leighton did not admit
Palsrud's testimony at the last e :. 4. :.
Upon just what grounds Moeler win
ask for a new trial is not known, He
Is making hard fight and hopes yet
to escape doing time. If he d noa
granted a new tria ~
to the supreme court, and II sat4--
factory arrangements can be made for
bonds, he will probably be at liberty
for some months to come, at least.
In speaking of the case, DR.. NOEL

NYRICK WANTS
SUBSCRIBERS
Preaident Of 0ranse-Judd CO. Would
Establish Branch ONCE Of Dakota
Farmer In Minot for 5000 Worth
Of Paid up Subscriptions.

Herbert Myrick, President of the
Orange-Judd company which owns
the Orange-Judd Farmer, the Dakota
Farmer and numerous other farm
journals, was visitor in Minot We'd
nesday, and while here he delivered
an address at the Commercial club
rooms before about fifty of Minot's
business men.
Mr.. Myrick's real object in visiting
Minot was to secure large number
Of subscriptions to the Dakota Farm
er, and possibly open q branch once
~ this city. Mr.. Myrick made a pro-
in this city. Mr.. Myrick made a pro-
position to the directors of the Com
m9fcial club, that In consideration for
the clubs furnishing $1,000 worth Of
subscriptions to the Farmer, the COM
pany would put in that branch ONCE
employing q manager and possibly
an assistant, and all OF the Dakota
Farmers coming into this territory
would bear the names Aberdeen, s.
D. and Minot, N. D. Mr.. Myrick de-
sired that the directors sign up the
proposition at once, but they have
taken the matter under advisement
While the Dakota Farmer is an excel
lent publication, the directors are not
sure that the proposition Mr.. Myrich
made IL worth what it would cost.
Mr.. Myrick gave pleasing talk or
the business men, telling them that
the Northwest should combine to aa-
vertise. Canada has done Sc
much good advertising that when one
speaks Of the Northwest, we are in
clined to think of the Canadian North
west. Mr.. Myrick says that there vii
be a convention of delegates from The
various northwestern states next
spring, to consider a systematic way
Of advertising this country. ,~z-r
