To The Daily Herald,
Grand Porks, N. D.
Mr. Editor: I notice in your news
columns for tills side of the river you
are apparently discrimiinating against
the congregation of the' Sacred Heart
church, of which I am pastor. I ven
ture a few remarks here to place us
properly before the people. I went to
the office of the Herald personally
Friday to meet the business manager
and have him run the program of Mon
day evening's performance in one or
two issues' of the paper. This he was
unable to do without me paying ad
vertising rates, when all others pa
in it a re as to
the news and run it as such. I do not
admire the principle of the paper in
this regard, for they should recognize

Widow of Henry J. Comfort, Dead Engineer,
Brings Suit Against Great Northern Rail
way for Damages
Through her attorney, Bardl G.
Skulason, Mrs. Jennie M. Comfort to
day brought suit for $60,000 against
the Great Northern Railway company
for the death of her husband, Henry
J. Comfort.
Engineer Comfort was killed on the

death was a severe blow to his many
friends in the northwest.

ests.
FATHER GREEN TAKES THE
G. FORKS HERALD TO TASK
this congregation as well as they do
the evangelists who, as I, understand,
receive all their advertising free. It
seems from residents of this city, that
the .Herald continues to throw mud and
dirt at this city at every opportunity,
even in Saturday morning's issue you
will find the first and leading article
displayed in glaring head lines of the
boldest type, calling the attention of
the public to one Martin Berg, who
wants to kill one Severt Novrhe, and
informs him by writing threatening
letters. This I presume is to cast re
flections on the city and Its people, and
the Herald by its scandalizing, and
disreputable accounts in the "East
Side" columns, is certainly doing much
to retard the progress of the city. I
for one feel that before I will feel
friendly towards this publication they
will have to change their tactics
towards this city and Its residents, and
I. earnestly ask my friends to assist
me.

George Hyslop of this city returned
recently from a trip through the

there purchased 640 acres of farming

OTTO WEBER6 TMEN
TO PEI1TET1ART
Convicted Han Says He is
Sorry For Killing of
Anna Engalsrud.
THE PARTING SCENE
Between Mother and Son in
Walsh County Jail a
Pathetic One.
Otto Weberg, convicted of murder
admits that he remembers of the kill
ing of Anna Engalsrud at Fairdale.
He Bays-he is sorry that he committed
the crime, hut gives no reason for the
commission of the horrible deed.
The convicted man was in Grand
Forks Sunday evening in charge of
Sheriff Hankey of Walsh county and
Deputy Sheriff Wilson. He was
brought here on Train No. 138 of the
Great Northern, transferred to Train
No. 10 and taken to Fargo. From there
they went to Bismarck over the Nor
thern Pacific, and on arriving there,
Weberg will seo the place in
which he will spend the remainder
of his life—the penitentiary of the
state of North Dakota.
Weberg was sitting contentedly in
his seat In' the smoking car of train
No. 10 when the Evening Times re
porter saw folm. He was smoking a
cigar, and seemed to take little inter
est in the trip. His eyes are peculiar.
He keeps looking from one place to
another, being unable, it. seems, to
keep them in any one place for any
length of time.
He wore a pair of blue overall pants,
a black' coat and a black shirt, a
slouch hat and seemed to be right at
home in the car seat. He was not
handcuffed, the two officials being with
htm all the time so there was no
chance for him to make a break for
liberty.
Saturday afternoon, the aged father
and mother of the murderer bid their
son good by In the Walsh county jail,
where they had been admitted by
Sheriff Hankey. The scene was a
touching one, the mother being almost
prostrated with grief. In the court
room, when the verdict was read, there
was another touching scene. Mrs.
Weberg broke down completely, al
though the convicted man seemed to
be a trifle relieved at the recommenda
tion of a life sentence instead of death
in the hangman's noose.
The story of Weberg's love, with
failure in the end resulting In the mur
der of the object of his affection, to
whom on the stand he swore that he
would do no harm knownlngly, Is a
sad one.
When Weberg Is landed behind the
bars of the state penitentiary, the
closing scene in a sensational case will
have been enacted. It has been a long
time since a murder trial in North
Dakota has aroused so much interest.
The details surrounding the crime
were of such a sensational nature and
the deed Itself was such a cold-blooded
one, that from one end of the state to
the other, the developments in the case
were closely watched.
ST. PATRICK ENTERTAINMENT
St Michaels Church Scene of Enjoy
able Gathering on Saturday
Night.
The birthday of the Ireland's patron
saint was fittingly celebrated on Sat
urday night in the auditorium of St.
Michaels church when the wearers of
the shamrock gathered and listened
to a program both lyrrlcal and oratori
cal, a program essentially appropriate
to the birthday of St. Patrick.
Father Conaty delivered a masterful
address. In his usual style and was
followed by song and recitation by
some of the best talent in the city.
Miss Duffess sang the old song "Kil
larney" in a very pretty manner, fol
lowed by Miss Agnes DeRoche who
favored the audience, with "The Last
Rose of Summer." Cleary Monley re
ceived a hearty ovation for his rendi
tion of "It must have been Svengalle
in disguise.". Baby Lynch also made
a "hit" with "O'Reilly" and Miss
Pauline Allen received several en
cores after singing "The Bee."
It was a musical program generally
speaking, one in which
"Songs gushed from the heart
As showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears from the eyelids start,"
However the recitations of Miss
Genevieve O'Keefe on "Sheridan's
Ride' 'and Miss Ethel Kaufman '"He
was there and so was I" were heartily
enjoyed.
The numbers by the chorus of girls
were also of high order, "St. Patricks
Day" being especially well received.

Park River Man Denies Having
Removed From the
State.
ONLY ONE NEW MEMBER
University Board of Regents
Will Hold Important Meet
ing April 3.
H. T. Helgesen, of Milton, one of
Governor Burke's appointees to the
board of regents of the state univer
sity, a democrat, will not be permitted
to take his seat, according to informa
tion which The Evening Times has In
its possession.
Mr. Helgesen was appointed to fill
a supposed vacancy on the board, vice
Hon. Geo. E. Towle, Park River
George W. Towle of Park River whom
the governor was lead to believe had
given up- his residence in this state
and would therefore resign.
Mr. Towle was a visitor in the city
on Sunday, enroute to his home at
Park River, and in an interview stated
that he still maintains his residence in
North Dakota and has no idea of giv
ing up the same.
"The fact that I have interests in
Minneapolis has no particular bear
ing upon my place of legal residence.
Practically all the investments I own
Hon. Herman Shirley, Enderlin, retir
ing member
are in North Dakota. I do not expect
to give up my place on the university
board of regents until my term expires
on the first Tuesday in April 1909."
This leaves the'board as previously
comprised, with the exception that Jas.
V. Brooke of Cando, takes the place of
Herman Shirley of Enderlin whose
term will expire on-the first Tuesday
in April 1907.
The first meeting of the new board
will be held on Wednesday, April 3,
when a session of extraordinary im
portance to the state's leading institu
tion will be convened.
The following are the members of
•the board: William Budge, Stephen
Collins, Grand Forks J. G. Gunderson,

JE RESUMED
The Aneta-Devils Lake Extension of
the Great Northern to Be Com
pleted This Tear.
Preparations are being made to re
sume work on the Aneta-Devils Lake
extension of the Great Northern. Rails
on this extension wero laid to within
ten miles of Devils Lake before the
cold weather set in last fall. During
the winter no attempt was made to run
trains beyond Aneta and the new part
of the line became completely blocked
with enow. A snow bucking outfit and
250 laborers are now at work clearing
the line. In some places the snow is
piled to a depth of from twelve to
fifteen feet while in others it is frozen
to the track and mingled with ice, so
that it is necessary to use picks to
clear it away. Progress is slow but
it is believed the line will be cleared
as far as the rails have been laid with
in a short time, and the work of track
construction will be resumed.

ELKS IMD ANNUM.
ELECTION OF
Most, Successful Meeting in
History of No. 255 Held
on Saturday.
C. E. LAZIER EX-RULER
Large Class of Candidates
Went Through the Mill
Swell Banquet.
The election of officers of the Elks
lodge on Saturday night resulted In C.
E. Lazier being chosen exalted ruler.
The meeting was one of the largest
and most successful ever held by No.
255, and Elks from every part of the
United States, from San Francisco to
Pittsburg, were present.
A large class of candidates went
through the initiatory proceedings,
Rolla, N. D., being especially well rep
resented. Some of the "stunts" set
before the trembling aspirants were
rather unique and ingenious, but all
went through without so much as a
mishap, due no doubt to the "don't for
candidates," which were published
previous to the meeting.
The Elks started the work at 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon, thereby
getting the routine part of the pro
gram out of the way. After the elec
tion of officers the assembled guests
sat down to one of the most elaborate
banquets that ever regaled the inhab
itants of Elkdom.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
Exalted Ruler—C. E. Lazier.
Esteemed Leading Knight—James
A. Dinnie.
Esteemed Royal Knight—Dr. J. D.
Taylor.
Esteemed Lecturing Knight—Dr. F.
M. Wells.
Secretary—F. A. Brown.
Treasurer—M. J. Moran.
Tyler—Henry Hancock.
Trustee, term of three years—Ste
phen Collins.
M. Stanchfield was chosen to rep
resent the lodge at the grand lodge
meeting. The officers will be installed
at the next meeting.
THE SHOW PLOW DITCHED
Great Northern Crew Narrowly Hiss
Being Made Subjects for the
Undertaker.
McVille, N. D., March 18.—Superin
tendent McKinnon and a crew in
charge of the snow plow on the Great
Northern, narrowly escaped death
while working on clearing the exten
sion near here of snow.
A big Russell plow with two engines
and a relief train was sent out from
Aneta to clear the track and when the
outfit struck the big bridge east of this
place, the plow jumped the track and
crossed the bridge at a rate of twenty
five miles an hour. Upon reaching the
other side it struck a snow drift and
was thrown over the embankment.
The two engines that followed, took
the same course and they doubled up
on the plow. After considerable de
lay the engines and plow were placed
on the track.
Superintendent McKinnon and the
train crews jumped from the plow and
engines, saving their lives.
