MONTE WOMAN
FREED OF MURDER

| A first degree murder charge
against Mrs. Mabel Brennan of Mon
tevideo, on which she was extradited
to Missouri, has been dismissed and
Mrs. Brennan is preparing to return
to her home and three children at
Montevideo after being freed from
custody, W. w. Merrill, her attor-
ney, said Monday at Montevideo.
The preliminary hearing on the
murder charge had been set for Sat-
urday but Mr.. Merrill was informed
the charge was dismissed by the
prosecuting attorney, T. A. Shockley,
at Wanesville, Mo-, before the time
for the hearing, because of insult
ficient evidence against the woman.
Mrs. Brennan was arrested here
February 2 at the request of Mis-
souri, authorities and after an ex-
tradition hearing in ST. Paul the fol-
lowing week she was taken to
Waynesville where she was released
under bonds. Her brother, j., o.
sist her in fighting the charge.
Affdavits presented at the extra
dition hearing tried to connect her
with the brutal Staying of Goldie
West of Richland, Mo-, last May 25,
but she alleges her husband, from
whom she is separated, attempted to
implicate her and that she had moth
ing to do with the death. The muir
dered woman's body was found on
railroad tracks at Richland with two
bullet wounds in her head. At that
time Mrs. Brennan was living at
Richland. She came to Montevideo
last fall when her father, Hageman
received injuries in a fall
that later caused his death.-Dawson

the Christgau bill.
There is slight possibility that the
present legislature may pass bill
requiring all drivers of automobiles
and trucks to take out drivers license.
Supporters of such bill made a
rather formidable demonstration be-
fore the senate committee on motor
vehicles, Thursday. Among them was
Judge Levi Hall of Minneapolis traf-
fic court, who has become quite fam
Gus for his vigor in Furnishing reck-
less drivers in the Mill City. Said
Judge Hall:
"Under the laws of this state, any
imbecile or idiot who can get to-
gether SIS for the down payment can
go down here to some dealer and buy
a car. Some young men go out In
a collegiate flivver that has no brakes
and little except four wheels. May
be they are brought in for reckless
driving. We can only give them 80
days, no matter how fragrant the case
is, and when they get out they can
get another car of the same kind and
become just as much menace again.
think there should be an examina-
ton before a license is issued to
new driver. 1t would be good thing
if we could examine every one who
is driving a car now, but the task
would be too great"
The vast sum of $685., 1868 in de-
linquent taxes has been piled up in
Minnesota, according to compilation
just completed by the state tax COM
mission, and the committee on towns
and counties of the house has recon-
mended for passage bill providing
for the appointment of commissioners
to negotiate between owners Of lands
against which there are delinquent
taxes and the counties.

1929 DATES FIXED
FOR FIELD TRAINING
Continued from Page One)

| \SoHIiHueu from rage One)
Every unit is housed in it's own ar
mory. Today, there are 81 armories
varying in cost from $4,000 to $500,
900, exclusive of the site. Target
ranges have been provided, and, in
general the support received from the
villages, cities, and state, is adequate
I'm one respect, we have Jagged fan
behind all other states, namely, in
procuring training center, which
would be ample for all phases of field
training. The National Guard of this
state has been in existence, in one
form or another, for II years, and
yet no concerted effort apparently
has ever been made to bring this
most important proposition before the
governing bodies.
Each year, we are compelled to send
an entire Field Artillery brigade to
Wisconsin or some other state. This
is not only expensive, both in money
and time, but is far from satisfactory,
in that it is generally impossible to
secure training dates which cause the
least Inconvenience. To train a bril-
gade of field artillery requires con-
siderable expenditure of money. For
example, the pay items total on the
average of $4,000; subsistence, ST.
500; to say nothing of forage, gaso-
line, oil, sanitation costs, and other
camp overhead.
"This amount of money has for years
been expended outside the border of
our state. From a training stand
point, and which is of the greater i'm
portance, we are precluded from
holding joint maneuvers of terrain
exercises, and the infantry, air SER
vice and artillery are deprived of
those associations which are all i'm
portant in the event of need, for they
mutually support each other.
"This problem has given the adju-
tant generals office much concern.
1t has been studied in all it's phases,
and discussed with the organization
commanders, as well as other officers,
on numerous occasions. Delay will
not serve to help the situation, but
rather, render solution more diff
cult. Tracts of land, sufficient for
this purpose, are few and far between,
and the value increases with time.
It is the attorney generals. opinion
that now is the opportune time to ac-
quire this most needed essential for
our National Guard training activi-
ties, sCQf =
st is realized that the acquisition
of such center involves large sum
of money; in all probability, 100000
will be required initially, and ap-
proximately 100000 thereafter. In
addition, it will mean increased main
tenance. These are factors which
must be considered. Other depart
ments of state are constantly asking
for additional appropriations to fin
ance their activities, and it is inevi-
table, in peace time, that the military
shall be last. However, our field
training will never be satisfactory,
until we have terrain ample and
suitable for the accommodation of
all components of our forces"
