DR.. THOR MOELLER
MUST GO TO PEN
AFTER FIGHTING FOR YEARS
FOR LIBERTY PHYSICIAN
PAYS PENALTY.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 18.-After
fighting for years for his liberty,
and putting up one of the greatest
legal battles in the history of the
state, DR.. Theo. Moeller, formerly of
Minot, but now Of Velva, must serve
a sentence of ten years in the pen
itentiary, at Bismarck, for the
murder of Gina Lien, a Lorraine, N.
D., music teacher, in this city, four
years ago.
This is the final decision of the
supreme court, reaffirming Judge K.
E. Leighton of this district, handed
down at Bismarck Monday after
noon. DR.. Moeller will probably
start to serve his sentence within
the next few days, and this will
close one Of the most dramatic in
cidents in the criminal history of
Ward county courts.
To many the details of the story
are still fresh. DR.. Thor. Moeller
who was a prominent practicing
physician here, was arrested short
ly following the death of Gina Lien,
at Minot hotel and charged with
murder in the second degree. 1t
was alleged that he performed a
criminal operation on Miss Lien
from which she died.
L. W. Dale, a young banker from
Lorraine, was also implicated and
following his trial at Rugby he was
sentenced to serve a long term in
the penitentiary. After entering
the penitentiary consumption be-
gan it's ravages and the pardon board
realizing that he could not live
long while confined in the prison
walls released him. Dale went
back to his home, where he shortly
after died. &.

Glen Ullin, N. D., Dec. 18.-Jack
Crowley's ranch was visited by a
band of horse thieves and fourteen
head of fine horses were taken. A
diligent search of the surrounding
country has failed to find any of the
missing animals, with the exception
Of one horse that returned home
with name and tail clipped and hag-
gled with shears in an effort to al
ter its appearance. This leaves no
doubt that the horses were stolen
and are probably being run out of
the state in some direction. Post
ers have been sent out in all direc-
tions with descriptions of the MISS
ing animals.

Remember my son, you have to
work Whether you handle pick
or pen or a wheelparrow or a
set of books, dig bitches or edit a
paper, ring an auction bell or
write funny things, you must work.
If you look around you will see
the men who are most able to live
the rest of their days without work
are the men who work the hardest.
Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork. 1t is beyond your
power to do that on the sunny side
of thirty. They die sometimes, but
it is because they quit work at 6
p. m. and don't go home until 2 p.
m. 1t is the intervals that kills,
my son. The work gives you an ap-
petite for your meals; it lends SOL
idity to your slumbers; it gives you
a perfect and grateful appreciation
of a holiday. There are young men
who do not work, but the world is
not proud of them. 1t does not
even know their names; it simply
speaks of them as "old So and
Sos boys"

One of the biggest sales ever held
in Burke county for some time was
that held yesterday at the c. F..
Southwark farm northeast of the
city when almost $4,000 worth of
live stock and farm machinery were
offered to the highest bidder. In
spite of the inclement weather an
unusually large crowd was present,
and it surprised many to see how
fast the property was disposed Of.
An interesting fact in connection
with this sale was that only two
notes were given in payment of prop
erty sold. all other buyers having
paid cash. Col. E. c. Mahoney act
ed as auctioneer, and several far
mers who attended the sale tell TIE
Tribune that they believe the old
cuss is getting to be a better auc,
tioneer every day.

A justice Of the peace is supposed
to have good common sense and
not much Of learning of law.
His opinions are based upon EVIL
dence. and not what the lawyers
may say in many cases. It Is re-
lated Of justice Of the peace in
an adjoining county who recently
acted as Judge at jury trial be-
tween litigants who were neighbors
that he made the following charge
to the jury as they were about to
retire for deliberations: Gentle
men: l feel sorry for you but /
am glad you have to decide this
case instead of myself. The wit
nesses have testified pro and con.
up and down and in and out,and
it would puzzle the devil himself
to know II any of them told the
truth. If you can believe the plain
tiff's witnesses, perhaps you might
decide for him. II you can find
any truth in the defendants wit
nesses, perhaps you might decide
for him, il 1t was not for the argu-
ment of these pesky lawyers, who
have mixed the whole thing up.
Now il you can understand and be-
lieve what the plaintiffs - attorney
says, the verdict should be in IA
vor of the plaintiff. II you take
any stock in what the attorney for
the defendant has said, your YER
dict should be for the defense.
But if you are in the same post
ton that I am, and don't believe
any of the. witnesses, nor a d-n
thing that either of the lawyers
say, don't know what you will do"
