ton with the death of Marshal
George Williams at Long Prairie
July goth, was started Friday morn
ing at g. o'clock before District Court
Judge Roeser..
The jury in the McTeague case was
secured much more quickly than in
the McHugh case, contrary to all ex-
pectations. The panel was secured
from the outlying districts Of Todd
County and thes12 men were selected
after 81 prospective Jurors had been
examined. The defense used eight

DOMESTIC TROUBLE
RESULTS in SUICIDE.
OTTO EISELE OF ROUND PRAI-.
RE TOWNSHIP TAKES
OWN LIFE SUNDAY.
FAMILY MOVES TO TOWN
REMAINS FOUND HANGING IN
BARN BY GEORGE GALL
GAN, NEIGHBOR.

Despondent over family trouble
Otto Eisele, for 20 years a resident of
Round Prairie township, living about
six miles northwest Of Grey Eagle,
committed suicide by hanging short
ly after noon Sunday, Oct. %, 1922.
In note left for his family he safa
he was committing the deed because
of unhappy family conditions.
The Herald understands that dur
ing Mr.. Eisele's absence from the
farm Saturday the household goods
were removed to Grey Eagle, and
upon his return later in the day the
only one remaining behind was his
father, "a years of age, who was
making his home with them.
From reliable - information the
Herald understands that the deceased
had threatened to take his life on
other occasions. Following one of
these threats several months ago citi-
zens of Grey Eagle called upon him
and he informed them that he had
no intention of committing the deed
but was making the threats in the
hope of frightening the family in or
der that his home life would be hap
pier in the future.
Coroner Peterson of Todd county
viewed the remains but decided that
an. inquest was not necessary as it
was so clearly a case Of suicide.
The suicide was discovered in a
peculiar manner. The Herald under
stands that Saturday afternoon a
member of the Eisele family called at
the home of John Baird, a farmer
living near Grey Eagle, and asked to
leave team there stating that Mr..
Eisele would call for them later.
When no one came for the horses
by Sunday morning Mr.. Baird called
the Eisefe home over the telephone
but he could get no response.
He then got. in communication
with a neighbor of the deceas-
ed, George Galligan. The latter Wis
tied the Eisele home. The old gem
tleman stated that his son had left
for the barn a short time before, and
there his lifeless body was found
hanging, with his feet dragging on.
the floor.
The deceased was So years old and
a native of Russia. He had lived in
the vicinity of Grey Eagle for about
30 years and is said to have been a
hard working and frugal citizen.
Besides. the wife there are nine
children, all under age.
Mrs Eisele and the children moved
back to the farm the first of the week
where the funeral was held Tuesday,
conducted by Rev Downing, pastor of
the U. B. church, Grey Eagle. Burial
was made in Lakeview cemetery.

Dealers Automobile
Tag Now Outlaw Badge
Except on Limited Few, Automobiles
Now Must Carry Regulation State
License Plates

Dealers auto license tags in Min
nesota now are mostly in a class
with the "license applied for" cards
formerly seen on some cars-mainly
signs that the machines are being op-
perated in violation of the law.
"After Oct. !, the dealers used
cars should bear a regular number
plate showing that the tax has been
paid" the attorney general rules.
"The scheme seems to be that when
Oct. 1 arrives every motor vehicle
with the exceptions of government,
state, and municipality owned vehicles
which are never subject to tax, shall
he taxed and carry the appropriate
number places showing that the tax
thereon has been paid. The dealers
plate should then give way to the reg
ular plates, indicating that the vehicle
is tax paid" Only unused cars in deal
ers' hands are exempt now and they
must be listed for taxation as person
al property, the ruling adds.
Prosecutions already have been
started in some localities on this class
of motor vehicle tax lodging, but it
is reported that most dealers apprec-
business are complying with the stat
utes.
Besides accepting dealers tax re-
mittances without penalty now, the
state automobile registration depart
ment is preparing certificates of de-
linquent motor vehicles taxes on which
the. sheriffs later will levy on the
machines and such other personal
property as is necessary to cover the
taxes, penalties and costs.
