straight through without entering the
congested area.
A large percentage of the accidents
are the result of either carlessness or
intentional recklessness and if every
driver will be duly considerable Of
other highway users, the principal
cause of the accidents can be eliminat-
ed and each will be doing his part in
promoting safety. Attention is called
to the need of cooperation on the
part of the motorist in order to make
the Safety Compaign a success.
Mention is made of the tendency on
the part of those who have only given
superficial thought to the traffic prob
lem to exaggerate the Importance of
speed restrictions and to overlook the
more serious problems of reckless use
Of the streets and highways.

Albany Man Is Charged
with Murder of Indian
Henry Knob, 20 Years Old, Will Be
Tried at Detroit, Mimi,
april ~.

Paul Ebensteiner and Martin
Christie, of Albany, are out on bond
pending trial in the District court at
Detroit, Mimi, next October. They
were arraigned Wednesday of last
week in justice court before Justice
Schroeder at Detroit, charged with
transporting liquor into the White
Earth Indian reservation.
The Albany men were taken to De-
troit last week by Peter Ahles and
are believed to have been the men
who sold liquor to Henry Knob,
formerly of Albany who will be tried
for the murder of an indian, giving
his name as Armstrong. ~I..
Knob is 20 years old and will be
tried before Judge John A. Roeser
in the District court at Detroit, Sat-
urday, April 27. Judge Roeser will
conduct special session of the
District court for the trial.
In the trial of Ebensteiner and
Christie no connection with the muir
der will be brought up, Mr.. Ahles said
yesterday. ....
Knob was arrested by Sheriff Ed
Swanson March %. The story starts
according to the tale told the sheriff
by Knob, when Armstrong and anoth-
er Indian came to the Knob cabin on
March 27, and bought a. bottle OF
moonshine. The cabin is located
about mile from White Earth. =
When the two Indians left the cab
in an additional quart of liquor was
missing. Knob said he took his rifle
and ran after them. They stopped
and when Knob called on them he said
they dropped the bottle of moon
shine. Then, Knob told the sheriff,
Armstrong exclaimend, 'Ah, your gun
is not loaded anyway" and started
towards him.
Knob said he shot. The Indian was
found with bullet in his heart.
Though Christie and Ebensteinef
are not connected with the murder,
the charge of running liquor into the
reservation is serious and if convict
ed the two Albany men will face a
stiff sentence in the federal prison,
lawyers say.-St. Cloud Daily Times,
Monday, April 10.

ance tax, formally gave notice in the

would challenge the new Federal
policy Of remitting to States which
have such levies a part of the inherit.
ance taxes imposed by the new Fed.
eral revenue act.
Attorney General johnson, under in.
structions Of Gov. Martin. notified the
Court that he would ask, probably
next Tuesday. for permission to file an
injunction suit against Secretary Mel
Ion, charging unconstitutional dis
elimination against Florida as we'll as
against Alabama and Nevada, which
also have no State Inheritance lev'es.
A number Of citizens of Fhwida
have died since the Federal act parsed,
the petition asserts, leaving estates
subject to taxation under the Federal
law. The effect will be to take sev-
eral million dollars out Of the State
each year. Florida argues, thus dimin-
ishing material sources which it could
use in raising revenue.
The Federal law Is described by
Florida as invasion of it's sovereign
rights and an effort on the part of
Congress to coerce the State into i'm.
posing estate or Inheritance taxes.
