THE KING CHARGES
 NOT SUPPORTED
Judge Bowling Reprimands the At- torney but Dismisses the Dis barment Procccdings--Court
 Then Adjourned.

Circuit court adjourned Friday night after holding a night session to finish hearing the testimony of witnesses in the disbarment ease against Attorney H. A. King. which was dismissed with a reprimand from the court for the attorney
 The King case was heard be- fore Judge Bowling, the petit jury being dismissed after the trial of D. T. Lawrence, charg- cd with failure of road duty, who was acquitted.
 In the case against Attorney King it is charged in the complaint that he has been guilty of making un- considerable agreements with cli- ents regarding fees. of failure to turn over funds held by him as at torney for clients siiia s;ia of # soliciting business from prospective clients.
 Attorney Wright priekett is as- slsting the prosecuting attorney in the case and Attorney J. I. Alley IS representing Mir. King.
 Eli Turner was the first witness placed on the stand. In substance he stated that while standing in the street i'll Mena shortly before the October term of court last year talking about suit a friend of hi. was going to bring against the rail road company, Mir. King came rid ing by. King stopped and spoke te him about the case, said it looked like good case and he would lik, to have 1t. King asked hises tsY ttsY heir sfff.iit iIim get the case and he would whack up" with him eTurner) Turner saw the injured man ant recommended King. King got tho case and later paid Turner $500.
 The next witness was Mrs. Mar. Una Clark, widow 72 years old whose home is near Potter. He testimony. in brief was that Df Campbell, her family physician brought Attorney King 10 her hem, while she was sick from m inlur, received on the railroad and an ora contract was entered into wher eh, Mf.

 From Tragedy to Comedy.
 It would have been impossible for actors on the stage to have shifted scene from tragedy to comedy more effectually than was done by the course of events in Circuit court yesterday afternoon. Close on the heels of the court passing sen- tence on J. NJ. and Jesse Fox, came the trial of Bud Gray, charged with carrying a pistol Of course this was serious for Bud, but the first fun came when the states witness, Cal Mayabb was placed on the stand.
 It was important to fix the time of Buds onense, and Cal said he thought t was in December last. He was not very sure, but finally settled on just before Christmas. y
 Judge prckett, who was defend- ting Bud, then asked Cal if it was not fact that Christmas came iR l October?
 Cal hesitated.
 Does Christmas come in Deeem- ber?"
 Cal was still undecided.
 Does Christmas come in Janu- ary?"
 Gal said yes with a positive ac- cent, while the crowd in the court room laughed.
 A really more Imaginable incident came al the expense of the defense in this case while Bud Gray was on the stand. Bud had been a deputy sheriff and under the law had fright to carry pistol when he had warrants in his pocket and was ae- iually going to serve those war lrants and make arrests under them. There was some little im- pression that Bud might have made fl point to always have warrants in his pocket to give him an excuse 10 carry the big gun. Judge Prickett was anxious to show that this was not the case, and asked Bud if he did carry warrants 10 give him an excnsa te carry iris Igun.
 His attorney was completely knocked out and everybody laughed. including the digniAed prosecutor. Mr. Pinnix, when Bud replied yes. with great emphasis.
 It was some time before Judge Bowling was able to suppress his own laughter and become serious enough to rap for order. After that It took some hard twisting from Judge Prickeli to get his client to realize that he had said the wrong thing and get him to state that he did not carry warrants around in his pocket to give him an excuse to carry a gun.
 The only witness the state had was the fellow who said Christmas came in January. and it was shown lhai this witness had heen con- Nicted of stealing and that Prose eutine Attorney pinnix had to send to Governor Donaehcy lo got him pafsloned before he could act as a witness m ihis ease. On the other hand he defense had a aood u4t- ness who stated that he had pur-

 Dr. Blzzell was given a trial on |; charge of malicious mischief. The trouble came up over the killing of a hog in a cornfield out near Big Fork, There was no evidence to justify connecting Dr. Bizzell with the killing of the hog and the jury promptly acquitted the defendant.

STOPS DEVELOPMENT
Mineral Reserves on North
ern Morrison Lands Are
At Fault

George Weaver OF Brainerd was in
the city yesterday, locking up mineral
reserves in the northern part of the
county. Of these mineral reserves,
many were not known to have been
existing on numerous tracts of land,
and were not discovered until deals were
under way in which clean title to
land and mineral rights were wanted.
Many have in this manner had the
last ray of hope snatched away from
them, just as they were about to re-
allze handsomely because of the at
fractions for iron ore found on their
land in both Northern Morrison and
Crow Wing counties.
Most OF these mineral reserves are
held by the Northern Pacific Railway
company, dating back about ten years.
at which time little Or.no attention was
paid to any mineral clauses. These.
according to MIR. Weaver, were at.fauit
somewhat, however, in that they did
not give the railroad company any
right to get on the land to explore for
or exploit the minerals on the land.
Thus considerable land, on which at
fractions have been found, is not re-
ceiving the attention of iron pros
pectors as the land owner has no right
to minerals on it and the holder OF the
mineral reserves has no right to enter
on the LAND to explore or mine the
minerals.
He further stated that just along the
track between Brainerd and Ft. Ripley
there we're between five and seven
drills IN. operation, easily seen from
th car windows

Blow from Cant-hook
at Landing

John TindeIl, who is employed at
the Pine Tree Manufacturing com
pany landing, received very palnfu ul
blow in the head yesterday morning
while unloaolrg logs from car. A

fellow workers hands and struck him
on the left side of his head, knocking
him senseless. He was taken to a

but he did not recover consciousness
until he had been taken TO tie
hospital No bones we're broken, and
as he began to feel better he was
taken back to his hotel as requested
by him.

case it is probable that it would have
resulted fatally. He was slightly hurt
