TRAITOR, officially and individually.
Geo. Ohnstedt of Kenmare died
some years ago leaving an estate val
ued at $18,292.0O. Anton Clemmons
was the administrator and so far the
heirs have never received any of the
proceeds of the estate, $4,000 of in
surance being included in it. Glenn
mons was removed as administrator
by Judge Murray and Evan Griffeth
was appointed.
Anton Clemmons held a mortgage
of $1,400.00, given by Ohnstedt
against a blacksmith shop and after
Ohnstedt's death, assigned this mort
gage to George Race, of Minot.
When the proverty was sold for the
mortgage, Miss Birdie Ewarts, who
kept house for Clemmons, bid it in.
Later she gave her nephew, Chas.
Wallin Of Argyle, Min, a bill Of sale
for the blacksmith shop, sending him
a receipt for $1,000 altho she admit
ted that she never received any money
for it.
There have been numerous actions
in court over this affair." Once when
Atty. w. H. Sibbald went to Kenmare
to look after some legal matters per-
tanning to the estate, he was assault
ed by Clemmons and Birdie Ewarts.
He had them arrested and they were
fined. They appealed to the supreme
court, which confirmed the decision of
the lower court.

MANY RUMORS ON GRAND UJR'

MANY RUMORS ON GRAND JURY
Bismarck, Nov. 21.-Many rumors
have followed in the wake of the for
NAL call for a grand jury to convene
in Bismarck December 5. These have
ranged from reports of election mat
ters to rumors that there would be an
attempt to indict Senator-elect Lynn
j. Frazier and prevent him from tax
ing his seat in Washington next
March.
The petitions were signed chiefly
by persons particularly interested in
some of the local fights. The close
ness Of two or three of the county
races has been the cause of talk in
many and opposing quarters of con-
tests and recounts. The petitions,
which contained 723 names, were
verified by committee of three per-
sons, B. O. Ward, Mrs. j. Kenyon and
H. r. Bonny. They swore to their
correctness before H. F. O'Hare.
The jury will be selected at the
same time as the petit jury is select
ed for the term opening December 5.
Under the law grand jury may sit
10 days in one term of court, and may
be adjourned to further term and
further time by the Judge.
