PENN FOR
MURDER

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 4.-For the murder
of his month and a half old baby, Ri
chard A. Schultz of Owen, Wis.,, was
sentenced to the North Dakota peniten-
tiary for life. His wife, who also was
arrested with him in Wisconsin last
Saturday night, probably will be re-
leased, Schutte's confession in court to-
day partially clearing her of direct
connection with the crime.
It was a narrowing tale that Schultz
related in the court. Welded July 81,
this year, they had been ashamed to
return home with their baby born on
October IA, at Pillsbury, N. D., where
the couple had been employed for some
time. #.
At Pillsbury he said they tried. TO
give the baby away, but could not.
Coming to Fargo two weeks ago, on
their way home, they stopped at a
local hotel.
The murder was committed in q
room in a local hotel. Sending his
wife out of the room. Schultz says
he first tried to suffocate the child
by placing his hand over the mouth
and nose, but he failed.
! Then he took the handkerchief and
bound it tightly about the neck and
dropped the baby behind a dresser
where the hotel proprietor found it
shortly afterwards but not until the
couple had boarded the train for their

CAN TREASURER
HOLD OVER TERN

An interesting legal question is
scheduled to come before the courts in
the near future according to the belief
of attorneys. It arises from a change
in the time for county treasurers to
assume office which was made by the
last session of the legislature. Under
the old law, the treasurer, as well as
all other county officers, took office on
the first Monday in January. Under the
provisions of the new law the treasur-
er is to take his office on the first
Monday of May. The reason for the
change was that because Of the dates
for taxes becoming due and the clos
ing up of the books it will he much
more convenient for the treasurer to
assume office at the later date. But
there is where the constitutions causes
trouble. Article 10, section 173 Of the
constitution says: '.'The sheriff and
treasurer Of any county shall not hold
their respective offices for more than
four years in succession" It will be
noted that the provision does not apply
to two terms but makes it specifically
four years. Where the treasurer is now
serving his second term he will have
served four years on the first Monday
in January and the question arises,
who is going to hold office from the
first Monday in January until the first
Monday in Mayf
