Grafton Boy Confesses
To Burning Feed Mill;
His Case Is Peculiar

Grafton, N. d. Dec. 2.-District
court here was occupied Monday aft
ernoon and Tuesday with a case aris-
ing out of the Field Feed Mill fire
Saturday evening. Howard Field, the
.23-year-old son of Ole Field, the own
err of the burned structure, gave, him
self up to Sheriff A. G.. Tverberg
ming. Being INTERCEPTED by the sher-'
If, young Field admitted that .heshpd
started the fire that destroyed the
building. He said he saturated some
rags with gasoline, threw them in an
old manger in the building and set
fire to them. Taking a loaded rifle, he
hid beneath one of the buildings OF
the Grafton Potato company, located
a short distance from the. burning
building. He lay there during the fire
and excitement, then gave himself up
to the sheriff.
Two years ago young Field and an
older brother were stricken with i'm
fluenza of a virulept type. The elder
brother died. The younger recovered
physically! but has never been
mentally responsible since his illness.
Unwilling TO work either here1'or at
Thief River Falls where his father
has ;:aFpool room, heNevidently burned
the mill to be relieved Of Irresponsible
ity.
On Monday, States Attorney H. c.
DePuy filed information against Field
on the charge-of arson. SWiggnHr&
Swiggum appeared as the defendants
attorneys. The state introduced in
.eNluence q written confession of the
boy, also other testimony to prove
burning Of the building. The defen-
dant's attorneys called four witnesses
Ole Field, the father, the stepfnoth-
er, DR.. G. w. Glaspel and J.. w. Nc
Kay. The trend of their testimony
raised doubt as to the sanity Of the
defendant. "
Thescase went to the jury late Tues
day afternoon. Shortly before supper
time a verdict of guilty Of arson in
the third degree was returned.

RELIGION CURES

Religion is prescribed as n cure for
most of the worlds present-day ills
oy leaders in every walk of American
life.
Presidential candidates, cabinet
members, senators, congressman, labor
leaders, university presidents, govern
ors, mayors and prominent business
men all agree that in order to bring
a return of Eight living and sound
thinking and TO check the dangerous
social and economic tendencies of the
times, we must have a revival Of the
spirit OF Christianity, or, as some ex-
press it, a spiritual revival
Attention WAS first called to the
idea that anything as old-fashioned
as religion might be the solution of n
problem as new-fangled as Bolshevism
10y some London correspondence in the
financial columns of New York
newspaper The correspondent de-
clared that ''hard-headed business
men" in England were looking either
TO strong governmental suppression or

the hsst hope of checking the Bol-
