Supreme Court Upheld
Decision in Pension Case

any other Investigator.
At the time the trial opened May
4, 1889, it was said Stearns Coun-
ty must repay to the state and fed
eral governments approximately
$4,000 as five-sixths Of the amount
allegedly paid illegally to old age
assistance recipients, said the
Times. One Of the county COM
missioners stated to the Herald
however, that the amount would
approximate about $1,000 instead.
Following Mr.. Jansen's resigna-
ton as old age pension investiga-
tor, an investigation revealed err
rors that lead to a complete re-
check Of 500 cases in Stearns Coun-
ty. He was indicted on three
charges Of aiding and abetting old
age assistance recipients in obtain
ing pensions illegally. He was
found guilty on May 8, 1889, by
jury, and sentence was imposed by
Judge Camerson.
Garrit Jansen's friends do not
believe that he violated the law
Intentionally. but rather that he
made an error in his investigation.
But the error would not exempt
him from conviction, however.

farming the homestead, and he
worked two days for a neighbor,
who in turn plowed the land with
OK team. Two years after he came
to Todd County he acquired his
first cow, which he received from
Mr.. Dummert in payment for work.
The cow gave very little milk, but
good feeding and care soon brought
a flow that added to the meagre
food ration of the pioneer family.
Pioneer privations and difficulty
were overcome one after another,
but it seems the matter Of food
was most severe of all. During
the first two years Mr.. Konzak
planted potatoes and corn, and
from those two products they made
up the food variety for the family.
They ground the corn with a coffee
mill and made Johnny cake and
mush.
Today, when Mr.. Konzak looks
forward to the 105th milestone of
his life, six of the nine children
are alive, all well along in years.
The century of his life was one
of greatest progress in the era of
history, and the wonderful changes
witnessed by Mr.. Konzak reveal a
period Of enlightment and accom-
plishment not even dreamed of dur
ing his early manhood. His health
at the present time indicates that
the span Of his life may be extend
ed for many years. That is our
hope which we add up to congrat-
ulations upon his attainment Of 1O4
years Of fine living.
