back with the comment "that even

While the trial, which is in IT'S
third week, seemingly has progress
Cd little, it is now becoming more
apparent the reason for the insis.
tence of the state in introducing
the volume of records it has fought
so hard for since the trial opened.
Prosecution May Rest
The defense has stipulated in
Vulnerable tunes 10 the fact the
sheriff received and disbursed the
money, thus leaving it open for the
iadge TO decide in his instruction to
ihe Jury as to whether or not Gillett
willfully took the money with the
intent Of converting it to his own
use.
The state in Introducing the
records is endeavoring to prove
that such was the ease, bring;ny
the matter directly to the jury and
not leaving it to the Judge to make
such statement, if he should, 20
the jurors.
In other words, District Attor-
Eey Heaid is endcayoring to make
the records prepondcrcuee OF
evidence that Will leave the jury in
a frame OF mind that would tend
to make the sheriff's ease look
dark.
However, the defense attorneys.
contend and intend to show by other
evidence, that the county super
visors were cognizant of the situa-
tion and approved the actions of ,he
sheriff in handling the moneys IN,
trusted i'm his care
Gillctt contends the money he is
alleged to have converted to other
than rightful channels was his To
do with as he pleased and that he
ut no time deprived the county of
any money due it.
The state is expected to finish
lis case sometime this week, per
haPs Thursday or Friday. Shoail
such be the ease the defense is ex-
pected to take approximately
week to put their witnesses on the
stand. Unless some unforeseen tech
nicalities occur it is believed til.

to Trucks Over z Tons
Three Minneapolis Men Arrested
for Violations-Brought Be-
fore Judge Kells Tuesday

The new highway No. 4, be-
tween this city and Round Prairie,
has been closed to heavy trucks
weighing over two tons, by order
of the highway department. Milton
Smith who has been appointed to
patrol the highway from the "Y"
at the junction of A and %. to the
village of Round Prairie, has al.
ready brought in many offenders
Unless conditions on this stretch of
road change considerably it may
be possible that it will be closed en-
tirely until it can be brought back
to its former state of possibility.
Up to the present time ten Of
tenders have been brought before
Judge Kells in this city, while sew
eral have also been taken to Round
Prairie. On Tuesday morning the
last three offenders, giving their
names as Al Pinchness, Jake Pin
chness and Sam Glotznik, all of
Minneapolis, were brought before
Judge Kells to receive their SEN
fences. Each was fined $500 and
costs.
Owing to frost boils in the road
this order must be rigidly enforced,
as the heavy trucks break down
the road and make them impassa-
BILE. The fines given at present are
very light but if violations con-
tinue they may get heavier.

was found early Wednesday morn
ing with bullet hole through his
head.
Mystery surrounds his death.
1t was Mr.. Rosenberger's Gus
tom to return to his home shortly
after 600 a. M, his time of going
off duty.
When seven o'clock arrived and
he was not yet home Mrs. Rosen-
berger became badly worried and
came up town to see what was
wrong. She first stopped at the
Palmer House and inquired OF
Landlord Harry Whitehead if
dad" was there. She was in
formed that he was not. 1t was
suggested that she go to his Of
fee in the City Hall.
Seven or eight minutes later she
rushed excitedly into the hotel
telling MIR. Whitehead that dad
was laying on the floor in front OF
the office room; that there was
blood on his face and head and that
his head was wrapped in rags. She
said she was afraid he was dead.
Mr.. Whitehead Immediately call
ed Chief of Police JOS. Miller on
the phone and told him what had
happened.
Mr.. Whitehead and the hotel

companied Mrs. Rosenberger back
to the building. They were the

DR.. Moynihan arrived at the City
Hall about 1880 a. m. The doctor
stated to the Herald editor that
there was still warmth in Mr.. Ros-
enberger's body when he made the
examination.
The first examination was a
hasty one, and suicide was indicat-
ed.
Those who knew Mr.. Rosenberg
er closely could not believe that
he had ended his own life. AS evil
dence accumulated the suicide
therefore began to vanish.
"Wednesday afternoon DR.. Harry
Clark, st. Cloud pathologist con-
Quoted a post norton on the head
to definitely trace the route of the
bullet. He was assisted by Drs.
A. d.. Moynihan, R. H. Sweetman,

DRY LAWS OF STATE
WILL BE TIGHTER
Debate Ensues in House on
"Wet Legislators Who
Vote Dry" Again
SPLIT ON ROAD FUNDS
House, Senate Disagreement
on Education Fund May
PrOlOng Sessions

st. Paul, April 17.-Three
measures, which propose clamping
down the lid on violators of Min
nesota's liquor laws have been ap-
proved by the house, 81 to SO.
A lively debate in which there
were references to a drinking
legislature" and criticism of 'wet
members who vote dry" developed
over consideration of the bills.
The measures provide: A fine
ranging from $3.50 to $500 and a
jail term of 80 to 80 days for
first convictions of maintaining a
liquor nuisance, and subsequent
convictions will be punishable by a
fine of $3.50 to $1,000 and i'm
prisonment from six months to one
year.
Fines of 5000 to 81, 900 and Jail
ranging from 90 days to one
year for first conviction for
transportation of liquor. Subse-
quent convictions, a fine of $500
to $4,000 and jail term of six
months to two years. Sentence for
second offenders to two years.
Sentence for second offenders on
transportation charge would be
mandatory.
Selling or giving of liquor con-
tanning poisonous substances caus-
ing serious physical defects or
mental injuries and possession of
liquor by minor would constitute
a misdemeanor. The measures
now got to the senate.
A deadlock, which may extend
until the closing session of the
legislature, has developed in the
joint legislative conference COM
mittee, considering a compromise
in the estimated $2,000,000 diff
ferences between educational ap-
preparations passed by both
branches of the legislature.
House committee members said
they will refuse, to make a half
way concession of the appropria-
ton differences for the university
and state school aid. Conferees
representing the senate are report
ed to have refused to go more than
half way in compromise.
The committee is endeavoring to
reach a compromise on a senate
measure appropriating $780,
442 for state aid to high, grade,
consolidated and rural schools for
the next two years, while the house
appropriated $11,366,050. A
second major difference centers
over the senate appropriation Of
$3,580,062 for support of the uni
versity for each year, while the
house measure proposes only 3d.
100000.

cessful, the amount of S112.50 be-
