Farmer IS CHARGED
With WHEAT STEALING
Carl Staal, Who Was Arrested at
Kenmare Claims He Was Mar
M keting His Own Grain. r

District court started its grind
again Monday after few days ad-
journment on account of Thanksgivs
ing. The jurors and the Judge are
ally nicely "fed up' on turkey and
trimmings and ready to resume. No
civil cases have been tried, the entire
session being given to the criminal
cases, most of which were brot here
from other counties. The civil cal
endar will barely be started when
court will adjourn, Dec. is. Clerk
of Court Henderson states that an
other term will be held in February.
It has been suggested that about six
ty jurors be drawn, half of them
to serve at time, and court to re-
main in session until every last civil
case is disposed of. Once the work
is caught up, it will not be hard to
dispose of the cases.
Carl Staal Of Burke county has
been on trial all week charged with
stealing wheat from Oscar Anderson
and Axel Lindquist. LII. Palda Jr.
is special prosecutor, for States At
torney Hanson of Burke county. The
defendant is represented by E. r.
Sinkler, who is putting up an able
fight. ' @
The state concluded it's testimony
Wednesday morning and the case is
expected to end today. The COM
claimants charge that they had wheat
in bin in field from which they had
been hauling the grain. They say
they left their two shovels in one
corner of the bin and when they left
the wheat was piled up in the center
) Of the bin. They found the center
leveled down and the shovels in a diff
ferent place. They suspected Staal
and got into an auto, driving to Ken
mare, beating him there. Staal was
met on the outskirts Of Kcnmare by
Deputy Sheriff Walstad, who arrest
ed him. He was driving wagon
with wheat in the bottom and barley
on top, the grain being separated with
+, tar paper. On top of the load was
some old furniture and junk. Staal
claims that he had held the wheat
cut on the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Kenmare, who held mort
gage on it, as he intended selling it
and using the money, which he need
! ed badly, hence he hid it at the bot
tom of the load. He claims that the
wheat was kept at his own granary
at the bottom of the bin, covered with
barley. The state produced wit
nesses who swore that they swept up
some barley at the bottom of Staal's
granary and did not find any wheat
mixed with it.

Checkers" Picture A Sensational Hit

Checkers" Picture A Sensational Hit
Checkers" the spectacular picture
made by William Fox, which opens at
the Orpheum Theatre Monday, is even
better as picture that it was as a
stage play. Much of the action oc-
ours outdoors and Director Richard
Stanton took full advantage Of the
situation to make his exterior scenes
not only elaborate but perfect in de-
tail.
The story tells of Southern beau
ty who falls in love with Checkers, the
race tout. He groosns a horse own
ed by the girl for rich stake, and
in getting the horse to the race track
encounters tremendous difficulties.
His chase leads from the South to
New York and through Chinatown.
At the last minute, just before the
race is to start, the Jockey is ma
liciously blinded and the young girl
rides the horse to victory. 1t is one
of the best and most stirring in every
respect seen here in some time. The
all-star cast headed by Thomas j. Car
rigan and Jean Acker give an evenly
balanced performance. The produc-
tion will run Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week.

PALOS UNION MAN
DEFENDS ACTION
OF MINE LEADERS

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Just a few words in defense of the
| miners and their officials in this great
industrial struggle now going on in this
country.
1t is indeed wonderful how soma of the
public press of this grand and glorious
country, the United States of America
which they claim is the land of the free
and the home of the brave, are from time
to time publishing news condemning the
vary men and their officials who made
it possible for Uncle Sam to journey over
the briny deep and forever put a uuietus
On Kaiser Bill-namely, the miners.
We know that it took the full cooper
alton of all kinds of labor to accomplish
tEat which was done in a very BETTING
manner indeed. When the boys were
called upon they responded nobly; the
very manhood of this country went to
the front and fought and bled. and a
great number gave up their noble lives
to establish world democracy; and the
rest of the noble fellows who were for
! tunate enough to get back home were
lucky if they even got job when they
got back, where, if they got their Just
dues, they ought to be pensioned suffi-
GENTLY to live at their ease the rest of
their days
But let us get back to the main point.
