FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
Sam Kalel Found Guilty of Murder in
the First Degree in Connection
With the Death of Girl

Cavalier, N. D., Jan. 12-Sam ka,el
a peddler, was found guilty Of muir
der in the first degree in connection
with the death of Anna Story, II,
here, November 7. The jury recon-
mended life sentence. The agreement
was reached after five hours dlibera-
ton.
Judge C. w. Buttz who presided in
the case made the charge at 5:15 yes
tcrday afternoon.
Anna was shot to death and her
mother shot in the jaw. Kalel was
found with his throat cut.
According to the mother Of the dead
girl, Kalel crazed with jealousy enter
ed the room where she and Anna were
sleeping and shot the girl, killing
her instantly. The mother attacked
the intruder who shot her in the jaw
and ran down stairs. She said she fol-
lowed him and wrested the gun from
him. He then picked up butcher
knife which she also took away from
him.
She then fled from the house with
her child to Legion, half mile away
to give the alarm. Kalel was found
with his throat slashed and near death
He had evidently attempted to COM
nit suicide. The defence sought to
introduce testimony which would at
tach suspicion to the father who lives
in the same neighborhood but who is
separated from the mother.
Intense interest was manifested in
the trial. Because of the small court
room hundreds were turned away and
those fortunate enough to get seat
brought their lunch with them rather
than risk losing their seat by going
out to dinner.

City Auditor w. T. Craswell talked
by telephone to Mrs. >Craswell at Al
buquerque, New Mex, Sunday night.
Will says that he heard Mrs. Craswell
very plainly but she did not hear him
SO well, but at that he was mighty
glad to hear her voice as she was to
hear his. Mrs. Craswell is improving
right along but she does not admire
that country of cacti and sand very
much and as permanent abiding
place she wants none of it. Her many
friends here are very much pleased
to know that she is improving right
along. III :.

The Odd Fellows are to give Hard
Times party in their hall in this city
on Friday evening of this week at
which time there will be something
doing according to Fred Colby, N. G..
No person can attend this affair with
any glad rags-in other words if they
do not wear hard times clothes at this
party they are going to be thrown
out bodily. There is going to be real
time with a lot of people on hand to
enjoy it and every Odd Fellow and his
wife or sweetheart wants to be on the
job Friday night.

cial publication Of the American Le-

Scial publication of the American Le-
zion and is very neat little maya
zine. Rev. Bloom told of the benefits
derived from this magazine by the ex
service man and in closing urged that
every man save the Legion Weekly
from week to week so that they could
be used for future references.
The entertainment committee, with
Bryan Clark as Chairman, was the
next number on the program and en-
tertained the boys with several snap
py selections. If any one can head an
enter tainment committee it is Bryan
and he gets away with it like a vet
eran.
George Huddleson, who is in charge
of the Legion canteen also entertain
ed the boys with a few sleight-of-
hand stunts. Neal Tracy is still try
ing to figure out what became Of the
dime which was placed in the hand
kerchief and disappeared right under
his eye. II
At the close of the meeting Post
Commander Henry reminded the post
that two days next month were legal
holidays and should be observed in
fitting manner by members of the
post. 1t was suggested that members
of the legion give short talks in the
schools and elsewhere on these days
and as Post Commander Henry sug-.
gested that the members of the local
post should be prepared to answer
any such calls that may come for
speakers.
After several selections by the
"Tickling Three" the meeting was adj
journed. It is needless to say the
meeting was success and is only one
of the many good times that will be
had at meetings this winter. Ex-
service men: Watch for the date of
the next meeting and make it point
to be there.

KIP. OFFICERS
GIVE PARTY
Old Fashioned Dance Feature of the
Entertainment. Large Crowd
and Excellent Muse

The officers of the Knights of Py-
thias decided recently that they should
act as hosts to the members of the
order and show them real good time
so they issued an invitation to all
members, their wives and sweethearts,
to be at Castle Hall at 500 o'clock
last night. From the size of the crowd
a person would think the members
had taken it as an order rather than
an invitation as there were about 125
couples present when the music start
ed. Music was furnished by ten
piece orchestra composed of members
of the order who had volunteered their
services. As the order is replete with
musicians who are versed in dance
music, a person just couldn't help
dancing.
During the dancing, which started
shortly after 500 o'clock, peanuts
candy and apples were distributed
among the guests. At 11:00 o'clock
a very good and satisfying lunch was
served
Old fashioned dancing was the or
der of the evening and seemed to
strike popular chord. There were
about six sets on the floors for every
square dance and the way the guests
would "tamarack her down" showed
that they were having glorious time.
The guests decided about 100 o'clock
that the volunteer orchestra had been
worked enough and the party broke
up, the guests voting the officers Of
the K of P. real entertainers.

LEGION MEETING
A BIG SUCCESS
Prof. kjerstad Gives Talk on Adjust
ed Compensation. Chaplain 0. NJ.
Bloom tells of the Benefits
of the Legion Weekly

, The local legion post held a very in
teresting meeting in their club rooms
over the Peoples Store last evening
at which time Prof. C. L. Kjerstad of
the Teachers College gave very in
teresting talk on the Adjusted Com
pensation Bill which is expected to
get by the senate at this session with
very little opposition.
"When the bonus bill was at first
suggested I was not personally in ia
vor of it due to the fact that l be-
livered it would cheaper our service
to the Country" Prof. Kjerstad said.
However since that time have been
convinced that the ex-service men
should receive bonus"
Among the various ways of obtain
ing the bonus is through farm loans,
cash, vocational training, or cash af-
ter twenty years. In taking the cash
after twenty years the amount of the
bonus is more than double the amount
which is received by taking the cash
at once. In fact the provision which
gives cash after twenty years is vir-
tually the same as twenty year en-
dowment policy paid up. Should the
ex-service man not live to see the 20
years, his beneficiary would be eli
<r;h1o RI tho hor,,S aEl..
The vocational training provision is
another good provision, This enable
the men to go to- school and be paid
$1,25 for each day in school, or $1.4O
for every day spent in home service
and sits for each days service over
seas. However there is limit to the
amount that can be received but at
the same time it is very fine bill
and ex-service men can use it without
much trouble.
After Mr.. Kjerstad's talk, Chap
lain O. M. Bloom of the local post
gave short talk on Benefits of the

man." The Legion Weekly is the Of

An item of interest to the Times
Record force is contained in the ex-
animation of the talismen for the
GUNNER trial. Counsel, in trying to
find out how much prospective jurors
know of the case so far brought to
light ask the jurors what papers they
have read and the invariable reply is
"The Fargo Forum and Valley City
Times-Record". AS the jury panel
includes men from all over the county
it would seem that the Times-Record
is widely read among people through
out the county. Of course there were
a couple who said they had only read
the Courier-News. In this connection
we might add that several men have
evidently been readers of our paper
whose names do not appear on our
subscription list.

INDIANS APPRECIATION AND
LOVE OF THEIR HOMELAND

In the rituals of the various tribes
may be found numerous expressions
of the love and reverence which the
people had for Holy Mother Earth in
general and for their own homeland
in particular. And in their thought
of their homeland they did not regard
it as possession which they owned,
but they regarded themselves as pos
essed by their homeland, their coun-
try, and that they owed her love and
service and reverence. The following
song is found in an ancient ritual OF
the Pawnee nation which is given en-
tire in the Twenty-second Annual Re-
port of the Bureau Of American Eth
nology, Part 2. This song plainly re-
fleets the topography and the scenery
of the country of the Pawnee nation,
that part of the Great Plains ira
versed by the Solomon, Republican,
Platte, Loup, and Niobrara rivers.
Song to the Trees and Streams
Dark against the sky yonder distant
line
Lies before US. Trees we see, long
the line Of trees,
Bending, swaying in the breeze.
Bright with flashing light yonder dis
tant line
Runs before US, swiftly runs, swift
the river runs,
Winding, flowing DER the land.

Work of securing the jury in the
GUNNER case has been much faster
than was anticipated by many. While
many of the jurymen had read the
account Of the murder in many Of
the state daily papers, they said that
they had not formed an opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused. 1t was also discovered that
on examination of the jurymen that
the papers they read the most were
the Fargo Forum and the Daily
Times-Record, which shows that they
are men of good judgment.

J. H. Sampson mas returned from
a brief business trip to St. Paul. While
there he had talk with Everett Dean
our last years second baseman. Dean
is coaching at Carleton College this
year and is having phenomenal sue
cess in his work. He has squad Of
ten men which he carries to his games
At the opening Of the season there
were 14O candidates for positions on
the first basketball squad SO he had
some material to choose from. From
this wealth of material he has picked
five men who are at the top in their
class. They have yet to meet defeat
this year and Dean is feeling pretty
good over the showing they have made
Dean offers to put a baseball club in
the field for Valley City next seaSon
and claims that he will be able to pick
up some real high class players from
college teams for the various posit-
ions. He states that, if the fans of
Valley City want him to get team
together for US, he will pick winning
team and bring to Valley City at the
start of the season. Deans plan is
to bring boys to Valley City who DO
not use tobacco or liquor, who are at
the top in their respective positions
in semi-pro baseball and who are
amenable to discipline. He states that
if he has the management of the team
he will insist on the players keeping
decent hours and cutting out dissipa-
ton, filming them portion Of their
salary for any infraction of the rules.
This sounds good and we believe that
Dean is the man who can do as he
says. He's one Of the cleanest sports
men we have ever met and if he can
get baseball club together of men
of his own calibre Valley City would
have a club of which we might well
be proud.
