CONVICTIONS IN
SEVERAL CASES
CRIMINAL CALENDAR NEARLY
FINISHED-"GUILTY" IS PRE-
VAILING VERDICT

The case of the state VS.. Charles
Daniels, charged with attempting to
commit a felony occupied the atten-
tion Of district court Saturday and
Monday. This was a case originat-
ing in Ray, the attempted felony was
an alleged attempt to commit rape on
the person of an eleven year old girl.
Many witnesses were called and the
case was hard fought, H. w. Braa-
teIien and U. L. Burdick defending
and w. G.. Owens prosecuting. The
case was largely matter Of the story
of the little girl against that of
Daniels who is cook by trade and a
married man in whose household the
child was employed to tend the babg.
Surrounding circumstances, to some
extent, supported the contentious of
each side. The jury returned ver-
dict of guilty.
In the case Of Ed Hansel, charged
with burglary in the third degree the
verdict was guilty.
LII LuO ScuSdClOIlI1l MCnClILAC
ty case against Frank Spalding
charged with adultery, which was un-
finished at the time of last issue, the
jury's verdict was guilty. The ad-
dress to the jury by States Attorney
Shafer of Mckenzie was held, by those
competent to judge, to be one of the
best ever heard in the Williston court
room.
Tuesday tthe case against Q. L.
Shouse charged with grand larceny
was up. This was also Ray case,
involving the loss of a sum of money
b yone of "A bunch of "good fellows"
during a social session in a hotel
room. The evidence left room for rea-
sonable doubts and utter being out
more than "a hours the jury dis
agreed.
The civil case of Gets VS.. Champion
& Meyers, involving the loss Of some
pianos in the Champion & Meyers
fire was tried yesterday, the verdict
was in favor Of the plaintiff.
Harry Hammell, convicted earlier
in the term of bootlegging, received
a sentence Of six months at Bis

M. J. Robinson, wet goods agent,

They did poor job of picking, Rob- |
inson said so himself. He reached |
Williston with % nice full pints in his
grip and another sizable burden
otherwise conveyed.
Chief Nolan was at the station, as
he often is, on the lookout for return
ing captains of industry. He noted
the difficulty Robinson was having
with his double burden and the slip
perry walks. The traveller realized
his handicap and noticing the chief
nearby frankly asked for help in get
ting his laden suit case to his room.
Sure, the accommodating officer was
glad to 1end assistance, that was his
business. He beat the other man up
stairs and had the case open and con-
tents counted when he arrived. "This
is quite a find, would hate to part
with it" remarked Nolan, "and per-

BERGEN SWEPT BY
CONFEDERATION
FIRE RACES UNCHECKED DAYS
THROUGH NORWAY-3,OOO
LEFT HOMELESS

Christiania, Jan. 1S.-Bergen's fire
loss, as computed today, will total
S30,OOO,0OO. Dispatches from the
stricken city today state that the con-
fagration, which started Saturday
night, now is practically extinguished.
Although the use Of dynamite Sunday
succeeded in stopping the general
spread of the flames, scores of iso-
lated fires kept the firemen at work
more than three days.
With Bergen still in turmoil from
the confagration and communication
virtually suspended, the capital today
is without definite details of the fire.
The following facts, however, have
been obtained:
The number of persons rendered
homeless has been increased to 5000.
More than 400 buildings, including
many of the show places of the city,
were destroyed.
The loss of life was negligible,
there being only one death and less
than a score of persons injured.
Relief work is progressing salts
factorily under government super
vision, and there is no fear of any
suffering among those made desti-
tute.
Relief Trains Rush to City
Special trains laden with warm
clothing, blankets and provisions al
ready have been dispatched to the
seaport, and it rs known that there
are large quantities of -four and grain
in storage there that have not been
reported destroyed.
The government of France wired
1000 francs to the French minister
here for the aid Of the fire sufferers,
and offers Of other sums are being
received from other governments.
King Haakon VII and Queen Maud
have sent messages Of sympathy to
the authorities r6f Bergen and are
personally in touch with the sftua-
ton there.
