Secretary of state Hall yesterday by
each Of the three defendants-Wil
liam Colgroye. John A. Rieger and
Paul F.. Schmidt-and the secretary
of state in turn served formal notice
on Governor Hanna Of the action tax
en-.
The grounds stated for appeal in the
notice served upon Secretary of State

First That the law under which
the said defendant was removed from
Office is unconstitutional and void and
that the said governor of North Da
kota had no jurisdiction in the prem
ises.
Second: That there is no evidence
Of any nature whatsoever introduced
or taken by the referee or the said
governor showing or tending to show
that the defendant has been guilty
of misconduct, malfeasance, crime III
office or habitual drunkenness or
gross incompetency. .
Third: That the evidence introduc
ed wholly fails to show that any act
or thing constituting grounds for RE-
moval from Office; that the evidence
conclusively shows that this defend
ant has complied with the law in all
respects and has fulfilled his duties to
the letter with respect to the Office OF
county commissioner and that the de-
fendant at all times exercised the ut
most good faith in the performance
of the duties of his office.
Fourth: That Governor l.. B. Han
ma of North Dakota committed error
in admitting and considering incom
petent, immaterial and irrelevant evi
dence which was introduced at the
hearing, and that the referee commit
ted error in sustaining objections to
defendants offer of proof Of certain
testimony showing the good faith OF
the defendant and showing the malice
and bias of the witness for the state;

testimony by the said governor com
mitted error in sustaining objections
to testimony offered by the defendant
explaining his acts and conduct and
showing good faith.
Fifth: That the decision and order
of removal of the governor of North
Dakota was not based upon the testi
mony introduced, but was based upon
prejudice and bias and statements
made by enemies of the defendant to
said governor outside of said trial and
hearing.
Sixth: That the defendant did not
have a fair or impartial trial in that
the said governor was prejudiced and
biased against him; that the said gov.
ernor committed error in making his
order removing this defendant from
the Office of county commissioner OF
Hettinger county that said order is
in no manner supported by. the tes

made out of the brokerage business.
In the stock exchange is Robert C.
Hancke with $4,000 seat paid for
by the firm for whom he was a tele-

Wall Street stenographers, however,
will go without seats on the exchange.
They will have to be content with

GIRL DECLARES
LOVER MURDERED.
DESPITE VERDICT
Coroner's Jury Probing Death of
Karl Maier Of Beulah Holds
Suicide as Cause
BETRoTHED DID NOT
BREAK ENGAGEMENT
Testifles She Wrote Letter in Fit
of Jealousy To Make Him
Come Post Haste to Her
10y Staff Correspond de Mt. }

Hazen. N. D., Dec. 15.-Death by
suicide was the verdict Of the coron-
er's jury late yesterday, after an
hours deliberation in the case of Karl
Maier, Beulah ranchman, whose re.
mains were exhumed this week under
an order from Attorney General Linde
that the murder mystery theory might
be cleared or more light thrown on
the mans mysterious death.
A great many witnesses were ex-
amined. John Maier, a brother, who
had been suspected OF the crime, when
subjected to a severe gruelling exam
ination by Assistant States Attorney
H. L. Berry, gave clear and unques-
tionable answers which left no doubt
in the minds Of the jury that he was
innocent Of the crime.
Two Bullets Caused Death.
The post-mOrtem examination estab-
lished the fact that two bullets caused
death, that they entered the chest
over he heart, one passing out Of his
side and arm and the other severing
several ribs and lodging in the intes-
tines. The clothing was powder burn.
ed as was the flesh around the wound,
showing that he had held the rifle in
a perpendicular position and against
his chest at the time of firing the first
shot, the other shot undoubtedly be.
ing fired after he had fallen to the
ground.
Letter Motive for Deed.
AS motive for the deed, a letter
was found in his pocket from his be.
trothed, Miss Rebecca Henke, which
had most likely been received the
night before the deed was committed
and which stated that she did not love
him any more, that she would rather
kill herself than live with him and
that she loved another and returned
to him set of furs he had recently
given her, ,.ss. i
write Letter II TT Of Jealousy.
Upon being shown the letter, she
I admitted having written 1t in fit Of
jealously caused by having learned
that he said he had written a former
sweetheart but that she wrote it in
tending to bring him post haste tC
her feet as a similar letter did on an
other occasion. She insisted the let
Eter had nothing to do with his death
and that he had been murdered, that
he must have known she had not in
tended to break their engagement OF
she would have returned his ring ant
that had he not been murdered hi
would have come to her at once. NJ
evidence was produced showing an,
intimacy. ... d..
Girl In Case 10 Years Old.
It is supposed now that grief ovel
the loss of his sweetheart, who is 1!
years old and beautiful, caused hin
to commit suicide in a fit of despond
ency. He was building a bungalow il
Beulah and expected to take his bride
I there shortly. Prospects of an earl,
marriage evidently were shattered BY
the letter written in a jealous rage
by his sweetheart.
