Guilty. Of GRAND
LARCENY CHARGE
Knox Banker, Out on Parole,
Down Again-Sentence Not
Pronounced-Paulda Makes
Great Defense Against Stat
ca Array of Legal Lights.

The case of the State of North, Da-
kota VS.. Dave Upland which; has occu-
pied the attention of the court for the
past two days, was completed and
given to the jury at $3.50 this morning.
At 1850 this afternoon they had
reached a decision and on being brou-
ght into the court room announced
their verdict as guilty as charged in
the complaint" Sentence will be pro-
noanced$ later by Judge Buttz.
This is, a case wherein the state Of
North Dakota charges D. H. Upland,
Of Knox, with having committed the
crime, of grand larceny. This is an
%outgrowth Of the proceedings at Knox
a year ago when Upland, as an Off
cial of the Security State Bank of
Knox, was forced through a series of
unfortunate business ventures, to oven
step his limits. as a banker, and use
some of the banks money for himself.
For this he was arrested, plead gull
ty to four charges, and was sentenced
to serve five. years in the state peni-
tertiary. He was committed to that
institution but after serving eight
months and some days, was released
upon parole.
The complaint in this cast alleges
that Mr.. Upland took and appropriate
ed for his own use 112 bushels of fax
The circumstances, under which the
act was supposed to have been COM
mitted, are rather complicated. 1t
appears from the evidence that at the
time Of the Irregularities at the bank,
that Upland in an effort to do justice
to his creditors conveyed all his pro-
perty ard assets to the trustees of
the creditors, who placed w. H. Shure
an attorney Of Fargo, in active charge
Of the estates. He, in turn, hired Mr..
! Upland to assist in these matters and
in the. cleaning up of, the estates and
converting them into cash. While in
this capacity the threshing Of the
crops. took place upon the various
farms, and when. threshing upon one
Of them, known as the johnson farm,
Mr.. Upland had the 1l2 bushels of
max. placed IT. a granary upon the es-
tate, stating that it was MI. John
sons one-third of the crop. Sometime
after this Ugland ordered the grain
hauled to market and Sold, and accord
ing to his testimony the proceeds of
this sale is still heidi by him pending
the settlement of a dispute between
johnson ard another party over the
right and title to the crop grown up
on the land that year: The sale and
hauling of this grain was done in a
rather unusual manner, and Ugland's
motives were, questioned by the state.
! The state in this case was represent
ed by A. B. Cox, Jr., from the office
of the Attorney General v. WARDROBE
states attorney of Benson county, and
w. H. Shure. Judge Paulda, of ,Minot
handled the case for the defendant,
conducting a most scholarly defenss
and delivering a great plea.

ALEXANDRA curl IN FASHION
Hairdressers Of England Take Up
Style introduced. Fifty Years
Ago. Z

London.-A new style Of couture
has been decreed by the hairdressers
before most women seem to have a
tered the latest arrangements.
The new style is what Is called "ths
Alexandra curl" because It was intro.
duced by Queen Alexandra when she
/ was princess Of Wales some fifty
years ago.
The hair is done high on the head
and the curls fall over the neck, being
from twelve to sixteen inches in
! length. They need not necessarily be
the wearer's own curls.
1t is claimed that this couture is be-
coming to the greatest number of
women. whereas the side crease and
the forehead exposure Of the. existing
fashion is declared BY the promoters
of. the innovation to be unbecoming to
the greatest number.
But, becoming or unbecoming, ex-
perience teaches that II 1t becomes the
fashion It will be universally adopted.
