Murder Of Kenneth Mckenzie
PENALTY IS FIVE YEARS IN PEN
Message Received by Uncle OF
Il Murdered Boy, Who Lives
In This City

Clyde Sperry was found gull
ty of manslaughter in the sec
ond degree by a Fargo jury,
after they had wrestled with the
case for thirty four hours. The
penalty was fixed at FIVE years
in the penitentiary. Sperry,
heard the verdict without be-
traying emotion.
N VS. Of the conviction
reached here early yesterday i'll
the form of a telegram to John
Mckenzie of this city, an uncle
of the boy who was murdered.
The case had it's beginning g
on the night of October is, 1909,
when Kenneth Mckenzie, a IL
year old boy was attacked i'll
the park at Aneta by the two
men who poured the oil from
a lantern he was carrying, over
his clothing and set it on fire.
He was taken home in a hor-
rible condition and was brought
to Fargo hospital, where be
died. Before his death he told
his father of the attack. De-
tectives from the Burns and
Pinkerton agencies were put
on the case. Suspicion finally
fastened upon Sperrv and Louis
mmerfield. The latter was
arrested but dismissed in JUS
tice court. Sperry was arrest
ed and the trial at Lakota last
July resulted in a disagreement
and change of venue to Cass
county.
Sperry's attorneys will ask

AarhIngsrs Of Spring

AS another harbinger of
spring came Governor Burke's
proclamation designating Fri
day, April rs. as Arbor day. A
second proclamation announced
Sunday, May IL, as Mothers
day.
The formcr daysis the day set
apart for the planting of trees
and is recognized the country
over. Special attention is paid
to what the day stands for in
the schools of the country.
Practical steps in the way Of
identifying school grounds by
the planting of trees is one Of
the popular methods of observ-
ing the day. Naturally the
observance of Arbor day in
North Dakota depends much
upon the weather conditions
and whether or not the season
is right for the planting of
trees.
Mothers day is the day Of
the white carnation when this
flower is worn as emblematic
of tribute paid to the mothers
of the country. The day is
rapidly coming into favor the
country over and is being
generally observed.

SCH O0L ELECTION.
Special District Proposition Carried
Yesterday b Blg MajoFlty
WOMEN EXERCISED THEIR RIGHTS
Another VIII Now 30 Necessary
to Elect Five Members Of
Board of Education

BY a vote Of 312 to 10 Botti-
neau school district decided
yesterday to become special
district and under the new
organization will include the
same territory as comprised
the old. 1T will now be neces-
sary to call another special
election for the choice Of five
members of the board of educa-
ton.
: The only opposition to the
special district plan came from
the voters of Whitteron town
ship who, on account of the
rate Of taxation. desired to
Withdraw from this district.
They made the claim that they
had to bear an unjust share of
the burdens of school mainten-
ance but it has been shown
during the discussion of the
subject that the total tax valua-
ton Of, the district is $458, 416
and of this amount $347, 451 is
in the city. This leaves $11O,- :
965 for all the contiguous terri
tory and this includes nine Sec
tions to the west of the city as
well as Whitteron township
Thus the benefits and burdens
considered it is apparent that
there is no inequity in the mat
ter. It is hoped that our
friends to the east will realize
this and that they will enter
with a will into the work Of
making valuable reforms un-
der the new form Of govern
@snsnt.
The school board met yester-
day evening and set the date of
the special election to choose
members of the board of educa-
ton for April Is from 2 to 5 p.

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and Cheapiy Made at
Home. Saves You q.

This recipe makes a pint Of cough
syrup-enough to last a family long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as Il IS, Il gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obs.i-
nate cough in "a hours This Is partly
due TO the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. IL is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough, Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
y pint OF warm water, and stir for
minutes. Put 2la ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in o pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and Is rich In guaiaeol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands OF house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty OF absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or viii
