county last week found VIM. GUNNER
guilty Of the murder Of Marie Wick
in the Prescott hotel at. Fargo. I'm
mediately following his conviction,
his chum, one Andy Brown, was ar
rested on a charge of murder. The
jury was agreed from the first, and
was out only about an hour. It was
. long-drawn-out trial, due to sick
ness Of attorneys and jurymen. The
murder of Marie Wick was one Of the
most fiendish crimes in the history of
the state, she being choked and beat
en- to death after retiring in the Pres
colt hotel at Fargo, where, she ar
rived perfect stranger from small
town in Minnesota. GUNNER was the
night clerk.

GRAIN GRADING LAW NO GOOD

Washington, Feb. 27.-The North
Dakota law regulating grain inspee-
tion and purchase was today declared
invalid by the supreme court in an
opinion reached by Justice Day.
The U. s. District court in proceed
ings instituted by the Farmers Grain
Company of Embden, N. D., upheld
the law. s
!. The court Of appeals for the eighth
fcircuit reversed the decision, holding
the law in conflict with federal sta
tutes and an interference with inter-
state commerce.
Justice Brandeis announced he and
Justice Holmes and Clark did not ap-
prove the opinion. He asserted the
law was valid exercise Of the states
police power to prevent the perpetra-
tion of fraud within the state and
protect the consumer against the sell
ler. He stated the court should have
upheld the law eliminating any con-
flict there might have been between
state law and federal law.
The grain grading law was the
cause of much discussion and was
heralded by the Nonpartisan league
as one Of the major accomplishments
Of the league legislature.
J. F. T. O'Connor and Sveinbjorn
johnson were attorneys for the grain
company when the suit was institut-
ed. Mr.. Johnson retired from the
case last fall when he entered the
campaign and when he became Attor-
ney General continued the appintment
Of Seth Richardson, Of Fargo, to mp
hold the law in the case in the SUI.

preme court Friday, asking in short
that reprimand and punishment be
meted out to Justice j. E. Robinson
for. his actions while a member of

Eight charges are preferred some
of these being divided into as many
as 13 specific instances in which the
members of the bar allege the JUS
tice has overstepped the bounds Of
court dignity, court procedure or has
discussed matters before the court
for hearing before the decision had
been reached. '
After presentation Of the petition
to Chief Justice Grace it was an
nounced by the clerk of court that
a conference will be held to determine
the disposition of the petition.

the actions of Judge Robinson in the
past several years, and especially
cites that he has, in his Saturday
Evening Letters" discussed cases or
announced decisions in advance of the
court action.
The petition further prays that the
supreme court provide that the sher-
if Of Burleigh county or one of his
deputies be. stationed in the supreme
court chambers whenever court is in
session to RESTRAIN Judge Robinson"
and to maintain order.
