!. LIFE OF SENIOR H|NS

According to a record in the fam
ous, .iueller-Hins murder case, filed
in supreme court today, Uncle Sam
should be particularly partial to re-
cruits blessed with floating kidneys.
Because Frederick Hins was so en-
dowed, and because his kidney was
not at home, but floating around in
some other part OF his anatomy when
John Mueller blazed away at him
with shotgun, Christmas day, 1915,
Frederick Hins is alive and compar-
atively hale today, while John Muel-
Ter has but one, instead of two. MUIR
ders to answer for.
John Mueller, convicted of second
degree murder in the Stutsman coun.
ty district court and sentenced to 30
years in the state penitentiary, ap-
realed to the supreme court today
from a ruling Of the Stutsman county
court denying motion for rehear-
ing. Insanity was Mueller's defense
in the district court trial. Epilepsy
was described as his specific attic

contended, he went to the Htns home

Hebron, N. d., May 1O.-Secretary
George N. Remission of the Bismarck
Commercial club, speaking at pop
ular meeting Of, citizens and the Fed
GRAFTON OF rWOmen's clubs, last night
made the prediction that the clay
beds in this vicinity will within few
years make Hebron one of the busiest
manufacturing points in the state,
when the railroads start tapping the
rich clay deposits.
Even at this early date in the
growth of your city you manufacture
the best brick to be secured in the
world" said the secretary. tPicture
your growth next year with the rapid
strides you have made in the last
decade and see what "a promising city
is in the making. North Dakota's
clay beds such as are in this dis
trict and the wealth Of Ignite beds
in other portions of the state are
bringing your town and my town and
all North Dakota into the eyes of
the, world"
ga Lauds Hebron Patriotism.
Secretary Remission lauded the pa
'triotisma Ofsthe town, stating that he
had heard Hebron held largo Ger
man population, but that when it
came to sending young men to the
front he understood the contingent
that answered from here was one OF
the largest sent out from any city
in North Dakota of this size.
Home trade was urged and he en-
phasized the horrible condition of the
roads in the village, stating that the
merchants are calling for farm trade
but are not making conditions for

Sam Bazell, who lives near the

came out and began to protest against
the act of Finwall, who, it is charged,
then pulled a gun and threatened to

go to the telephone and notify the

When FinWall saw the wagon COM
