LYNCH CASE IS TAKEN

r Duluth, Sept. -Four members of
the Duluth police department yester-
day took the stand in district court
to identify Henry Stephenson,
charged with murder and riot in the
lynching of three negroes here June
Is. The state claimed it won a point
when Nate Natelson, himself a de-
PENDANT, took the stand to testify
against Stephenson.
The states case received a setback
when J. N. Nystrom, after testifying
that Stephenson had been the first
man to enter the doors of headquar-
tiers station after the police were
overpowered, was unable to identify
the defendant.
The trial of William Rozon,
charged with instigating a riot, began
also. When the jury in Judge H. A..
Dancers court room was completed
after the examination of twenty-four
men, twelve of whom were rejected,
Sergeant Oscar Olson of the Duluth
police force was the first witness
called. He was still on the stand
when court adjourned at 5 o'clock.
Judge w. A. Cant's court yesterday
adjourned without completing a jury
for the trial of Leonard Sheldon,
charged with instigating a riot. Nine
Jurors had been sworn in.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The action

eminent officials who are studying

ARMY CHOOSES
COUNTY ADVISORY BOARD

At a meeting held Monday after
noon in the City hall building an ad-
visory board was selected for Bel
trami county to act in conjunction
with the Salvation Army state adj
visory board in its work. The Saliva
ton Army has undertaken a survey
of the state with view to ascer-
tanning the conditions as to general
welfare work among the various
counties.
This work can better be done, it is
thought, if there is a local advisory
board who can place before the state
board their opinions relative to the
various questions of general welfare
work. 1t is felt that the local army
officer has many matters to look after
in the center in which he is stationed
and it is hard for him to learn all
of the details in connection with
cases which come up from time to
time throughout the county. 1t is for
the purpose of experimenting his
work that the board is asked to act.
The local members of the board
named we're: w. L. Brooks, J. E.
Harris, E. H. Marcum, L. A. Ward,
G. NJ. Torrance, E. A. Barker, E. H.
Jerrard, N. E. Given, Chas. Warfield,
C. L. listed, M. w. Deputy, r. O.
Bagby, A. D. Johnson and G. w.
Harnwell
G: w. Harnwell was chosen as
chairman of the board. Other associ-
ate members were selected for the
other towns and villages of the
county.
