GRILL GETS A SUS.
PENDED SENTENCE

VIM. Grill of Dimond township
was arrested on Thursday of last
week on the charge Of illegal cohab-
itation, and waived examination the
following day in Justice Randall's
court. On Saturday he was taken
to Minot where he entered a plea
of guilty before Judge Leighton, and
was sentenced to serve six months
in the county jail, and pay fine of
$500. The jail sentence was sus-
pended, and Mr.. Grill was released
from custody on his payment of the
fine.
There is some difference in opin-
ion as to whether or not Mr.. Grill
is the criminal that the court rec
ords now show him to be, and for
his benefit we publish his story.
Mr.. Grill came to United States
from Europe 18 years ago. Two
years later he was married by a
Catholic priest to Anna Zuger. He
did not procure a marriage license
as was required by law, as such Ii
cense was not necessary in the coun-
try where he came from, and he did
not know it was necessary here. He
lived in a married state with this
woman for IA years, and during a
large share of this time he really
thought he was married. When he
found that the marriage was illegal
he did not take the trouble of get
ting the ceremony performed over
again, as to do so would cause motor
iety which he did not want. All
concerned were satisfied with things
nd fro
done in order that the marriage he
made legal. About two years ago
the woman and Mr.. Grill had some
trouble between them, and the wo-
man left for some point in the state
of Washington. She deserted him,
although he wanted her to continue
living with him, and she still re-
sides in the far west. AS the mar
riage was not legal it would compli-
cate matters to ask for divorce.
so Mr. Grill considered himself
single man after there was no hope
of getting the woman back.
Last spring Mrs. Chas. s. Wal
lace secured a divorce from her
husband, and few months ago was
married to Mr. Grill. The fact that
his wife divorced him and married
Mr.. Grill seemed to trouble Mr..
Wallace considerably, and he natur-
ally sought every means of revenge.
He accidentally learned that Mr..
Grill was not legally married the
first time, and Immediately swore
to a complaint charging Grill with
illegal cohabitation with the first
woman. On phoning to a Minot
attorney Mr.. Grill learned that it
would cost $3.50 to fight the case In
district court, and rather than 60
to this ex~ense he decided to plead
guilty and take chances on the
sentence given him. Judge Leigh
ton no doubt believed that the crime
committed was not a serious one,
and passed sentence accordingly.

We'll PLEASED WITH
FARGO PACKING PLANT

Jim Uglum Of west Of the city,
who returned on Monday afternoon
of this week from Fargo where he
went a week before with carload
of cattle, told us that the sale OF
pure bred cattle held in that city
on October 81 was not as lively as
most of the sales which he had at.
tended in the past, and blamed this
onto the fact that the early winter
discouraged many farmers from
buying who had made up their minds
to hhy before the snow came. Sales
werS held at Devils Lake, Larim ore,
GRAND Forks and Fargo, and out OF
all only the one at Devils Lake
amounted to what it should. Mr..
Uglum took down II head of pure
bred Shorthorns and eight head of
grade beef cattle, the latter to be
sold at the Equity Packing plant.
He told us that the heavy steers
brought him six to eight and a half
cents while the veal netted him II
cents He was more than pleased
with. the prices the Equity people
paid him, and assured us that when
ever he made any further shipments
Of cattle~it would be to this con-
cern. He had made many ship
ments of cattle in the past, but says
that he was never more satisfied
with the returns of any of them
than he was in this instance. He
says the packing plant at Fargo is
running every day almost to it's en-
tire capacity. and was doing more
business right along. He does not
hesitate to advise his friends to
make their shipments of cattle to
Fargo.

TELLS WHY HE IS !: ]. /.
AGAINST FARMERS

Editor Hoyt of the Portal Inter-
national uses over a half a column
Of space in the last issue of his pa
per in telling why he is against the
farmers organization. An ordinary
writer would not use so much space
in saying so little, but Hoyt always
what he wants to say, and put it
down in writing, and for that rea-
son it is necessary for him to use a
great deal more space in conveying
certain amount of intelligence to
the public than it would an ordin-
ary person. His whole half column
could be condensed down to the fol-
lowing:
"Our fight against the organized
farmers is made because we do not
favor the leaders of the organiza-
tion We would not fight the farm
ers if they had different leaders.
We own an equity in 80 acres Of
land ourselves, and we consider our
selves farmer" .
Hoyt is Just like all the other I.
V. A. editors that we know Of.
They would have nothing against
organized for mutual benefit, or If
they had organized it wouldn't be SO
bad If they elected men to lead them
who would favor the big interests.
The fact that the farmers haye lead
ers which are always working for
the benefit of the farmers, mon who
cannot be bought or bull .dozed,
men who pay no attention to the
continuous lies and libelous articles
published by such editors as Hoyt,
and men who are entirely satisfac-
tory to the tillers of the soil, is what
causes these I. v. A. editors to fill
uu their paper with all kinds of rot
detrimental to the organization. II
the farmers had chosen leaders that
were entirely satisfactory to the
special interests, men who could be
bought and sold for money. men who
were owned by the interests that
the farmers are now fighting, then
and in that case Editor Hoyt wouId
have no kick coming, and there
wouldn't be any bo1shevikis, anar-
chists, and other kinds Of criminals
among the tillers of the soil. Hoyt's
ideas seem to run pretty much, the
same as those of the big ;. interests,
and everything tho farmers do that
is detrimental to the big interests
seems to be also detrimental to him.
He claims to own an equity in 80
acres of land and is a farmer him
self, but we'll bet he never bot this
land, and the chances are he never
farmed it himself. It is more like
lv that he inherited it, and is hiring
it worked on the order of many
others that are farming the farmer.
The Tribune does not believe that it
is up to the farmers to ask Hoyt or
anyone else representing the big in
terests as to who shall be picked as
leaders. The men acting as leaders
at the present time seem to be sat.
isfactory to the. farmers, and we
have no doubt, whatever, but what
they are entirely Unsatisfactory to
Hoyt and others of the same ilk,
who want them kicked out and 9TH
ers of a different class put in. We
are not surprised at: Hoyt's reason
for libeling the farmers organiza-
tion. He couldn't possibly have
any other reason, but we can say
for his benefit that .fle same leaders
will be employed, just as long as
they are doing what they are being
paid for All the noise Hoyt makes
won't make any difference.

GIRL MAY HAVE
BEEN MURDERED

Minot Independent: The body of
little Margaret Kottke, seven-year-
old daughter Of Mrs. Arthur Kottke,
who lives with her husband and
I three children two miles southeast
of Granville, was found beside a
haystack on the Walter Zimmerman
farm six miles southeast of Gran
vile, where the little girl had made
her home since last June.
Zimmerman and his wife have
been arrested charged with criminal
negligence, as death appears to
have been: due to starvation or ex-
posure, or both ..: T.
The story Of the tragic death of
the little child is one or. the saddest
In the history of McHenry county
and feeling is running high against
the Zimmerman and KOttke faml-
lies.
Margaret Kottke was the illegiti-
mate child of Mrs. Kottke. It is
claimed that the father is tran
sient who left the country before
the child's birth, which occurred
about year before the woman mar
ried Kottke. Neighbors say the
Kottke's had never given the child
proper care and with the arrival of
the Kottke children, the little girl
was more unwelcome : than ever.
Last June she was given home by
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Zimmerman,
neighbors of the Kottke family, but
1t appears that her lot was not i'm
proved any.
s A week ago Tuesday night, dur
ing, the bitter cold, the poor little
child, clad only in lightweight un-
derwear and shoes without stock
ings, was sent to drive in the cattle
to milk She did not return and
the neighborhood was not aroused
until the next afternoon. thinner
man states that he spent all = Of
Tuesday night and Wednesday look
ing for the child, but this part Of
tho. story is taken with a grain of
salt. He did inform Kottke. but he
did not seem to concern himself
much over the disappearance of the
child. The whole community search
ed for the little girl Wednesday
night and 1t was nos until seven
o'clock Thursday morning that the
frail little BODY was found beside q
hay stack q. short distance from the

. Coroner Stone Of Balfour held an
inquest. The stomach was examin-
ed but it was found practically emp
tv. showing that the Child had most
likely died from starvation and ex-
posure. A little substance resembl-
ing wheat was found in the stom-

Ladd at Fargo for examination, TO

PHOENIX, June 21.-A garden con- taining sturdy plants of narihuana in sufficient quantities to make half of the population of the city of Phoenix crazy drunk, was discovered by She-- if John C. Montgomery yesterday at Loma Alta, two miles west of Peoria.
