Krieger Freed
PettiS Guilty
First Case Goes Against State
in Jig Time---Pettis Gets
One to Five Years
Ray Pettis was sentenced Tues
day by Judge Nuessle to sniinde-
terminate sentence Of from ono
to five years In the stste pen
itsntiary.

One of the quickest verdicts
ever handed out in a criminal
case was that given by the jury
Wednesday night of last week in
the horse-stealing case when the
jury found the defendant not
guilty.
1t will be remembered by our
readers that this is the case in
which the sheriff and the states
attorney hied themselves to
Michigan to bring back Krieger
to stand trial for stealing two
horses belonging to one Rohrich
living south of Linton, and that
on the return trip the prisoner
gave the officers the slip by
crawling through the window of
the car toilet just before st. Paul
was reached. Krieger went to a
farmhouse a few days later for
food and shelter and was again
taken into custody.
1t developed during the trial
that Krieger had worked for the
complaining witness and that
there had been trouble over a set
tlement. The defendant came to
Linton and tried to collect the
debt through the firm of Lynn &
Lynn, hut no satisfactory settle
ment could be secured. Krieger.
then took a team of horses be-
longing to Rohrich and left them
with a farmer near Hazelton BY
the name Of Opp, intending to
thus keep them until Rohrich
would pay him what he had
earned.
The jury evidently believed the
prisoners story and. while they
felt he had takena rather strong
arm method Of collecting his
debt, they were satisfied he did
not intend to actually steal the
horses. Intent was necessary to
secure a conviction and Krieeer
was acquitted Of the charge on
the first ballot. the jury being

The other day he and his family

Guiding the money, but a heap of

Mott, Feb. 2.-..The Northern
Pacific will extend its line to
Mott at least 90 or so miles in
time to handle this years crop.
Such a line will split the territory
which is becoming one of the
best mixed farming districts in
North Dakota. For years Mott
has been assured that some time
it will be on the auxiliary main
line of the Northern Pacific.
This is to be brought about by
extending both the Fargo South
western and the Minor branches
to a point on the present Mott
line on the Cannonball river and
then extending from here west to
some Montana point on the
Northern Pacific main line. This
new work has been delayed be-
cause of the European situation.
In the meantime residents of this
section are interested in the more
certain and the nearer extension
that is sure to be built by the
Northern Pacific before any
other extension work is done. 1t
is understood the company has
several branch lines and exten-
sions planned, but residents of
this place have absolute guaran.

will be the first taken up.

In the case of the State of
North Dakota VS.. Ray Pettis for
stealing wheat the defendant
was found guilty as charged. The
case was brought on complaint of
w. B. Adams, living near Brad
dock, from whose open grain-bin
was taken some sixty bushels of
Marquis wheat some time on the
night of December 9th. The de-
fendant marketed a similar
amount of similar grain early the
next morning at Kintyre and
gave a fictitious name. A war
rant for his arrest was issued at
Linton, but he was warned short
ly after by a telephone message
from Linton and attempted to es-
cape by way of Steele, where he
was apprehended. His defense
was that he had stolen a load Of
grain from his brother, Osmer,
because he had wages coming
which he had not been able to
secure. The states attorney
started to conduct the prosecu-
ton Of the case Friday morning.
Right after dinner Mr.. George
w. Lynn attempted to take over
the examination of witnesses for
the state. He was stopped by
the court on objection Of the de-
tense. The closing argument for

states attorney, who made an
