ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE

ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE;
Glenwood, Dec. 4.-George Nelson
and John jacobson, charged with the
murder of the three Mitmoen brothers
last May on their farm, were acquitted
in the district court here late today
after a four weeks trial. The jury
was out only 20 minutes and took only
one ballot.
This leaves the Mitmoen murder an
unsolved mystery. Several persons
have been arrested charged with the
crime but none came to trial until Ne!-
son and jacobson were arrested. Their
alibi, showing that they were pursuing
their usual business at Ignite, N. D.,
at the time that the murder was sup
posed to be committed, was conclusive
and the states case was weak.

that Special Attorney G. c. Daniels,
handling Indian cases for the Depart
ment of Justice, was to be removed.
It was limited that the department was
not satisfied with his handling Of the
situation, though no explanations were
given as to the nature Of the criticism.
It would be naturally assumed that the
@2versaries of the government IN the
cases would be dissatisfied with Mr..
Daniels, since he could neither be con-
trolled nor cajoled, and neither poll
tics nor business could be used to in
fluence his actions. We do not sup

we'll as his ability. People who are
even in a little way familiar with In.
dian matters in this state know that
the last thing on earth desired by GER

Business allies, is justice. These in
terests are powerful. They have had
their tools in the halls Of legislation
and in the departments for years.
They are very much interested in who
goes to congress and who to the senate.
No wonder, therefore, that when there
is some evidence that the government
really means business, that some of
the dirty mess is to be cleaned up, that
It should cause pain and anxiety in
certain boeoms. We are convinced that
this is the real trouble with G. G. Dan.

Minnesota democrats resenting his be-
ing in the state is a cheap subterfuge.
There is no honest democrat in Mime.

because his home is in North Carolina.
he was sent here by democratic al.
ministration to do special work, Just
as he had been sent to Colorado for
the same purpose. Possibly when A.

Of q large type.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The United
States has sent to Austria-Hungary a
note asking for disavowal OF the
submarine attack upon the Italian
liner Ancona, assurances that such an
act will not be repeated, some degree
of punishment for the commander OF
the submarine and reparation for the
American lives lost.
The communication started by cable
from the state department to Amoas-

to the Austro-Hungarian minister OF
foreign affairs, Baron Burian. Word
of the delivery of the note has not

Friendly but firm terms, 1t is said;

Austria-Hungary has never inform

manders of it's submarines had been
given instructions similar to those
which the German government gave to
it's commanders after the Lusitania
tragedy.
It is understood the note referred
particularly to the charge that the
shells from the submarine killed or
wounded some passengers on the An.
coma after she had halted and asked
for an explanation on that point.
