V. BARSTOW DISPOSES OF THE PAPER TO W. C. DALLY OF

HEWITT BANNER

The Royalton Banner, which has been edited and published by J. V. Barstow the past six years, has been disposed of to W. C. Dally, who has been publisher of the Hewitt Banner. Mr. Barstow takes, over the Hewitt Banner in the deal, but expeets to dispose of this plant very shortly.

Mr. Barstow has no particular plans for the future and before entering in­to business again will take a well earned rest. The family will continue to live in Royalton until next summer, at least.

The Banner is an old established paper in Morrison county, having been started 27 years ago. The Banner under Editor Barstow has been pro­gressive and a continuous booster for Royalton and the immediate vicinity, and has well earned the good will of the people of Royalton.

While Regretting to lose Brothjer Barstow, we welcome the new editor to the Morrison county field.

JURY UNABLE TO DECIDE ON SCHMIDT'S GUILT

Xew York. Dec. '30.—After deliber­ating thirty-six hours, the jury trying the case of Hans Schmidt, the former priest of St. Joseph's church, accused of the murder of Anna Aumuller, re­ported at 10 p. m. today that it could not reach an agreement and was dis­charged.

The last ballot the jury took was ex­actly as the first. Two of the jurors stood out against conviction all the time, Foreman Ottinger said.

Schmidt heard the report of the jury without emotion and then was re­manded to the Tombs. The two jurors who had failed to agree with the other ten believed Schmidt was insane when he killed the woman.

Miss Rachael Cameron of"Mimicap-. olis, a- gistcferftf Don. M. Camei-on of this eity, met untimely death'early Tuesday morning of last week in the Mississippi river at Minneapolis. The body of the victim was found froz­en in the thin ice of the river under the large steel bridge Which crosses it at Hennepin avenue.

The body was identified Tue'sday evening by John Walso, an- attorney who had known; her for a number Of. years, and Mr. and Mrs. U. Taylor, with whom she had visited frequently, and who felt alarmed as they had not seen her for a number of days. . Frank Cameron of Dubuque, Can.,' and Donald Cameron of this city were immediately notified of the death of their sister and Mr. and Mrs. Cameron went to Minneapolis Thursday morn­ing to take charge of the body.

Early reports gave out the theory that Miss Cameron committed suicide by jumping from the high bridge but the rela,tives believe it a case of foul play.

Miss Minnie Fjerestad, a friend wlio roomed in the same flat with Mass Cameron, telephoned the Minneapolis Tribune ou Friday that she could not believe it to be a suicide, as Miss Cameron was with her at', the union station at 6 o 'clock Tuesday morning to bid her goodbye when she left for her home at Kasson to spend Christ­mas. This was but two hours before the frozen body of the girl was found in the river, and Miss Fjerestad stat­ed that, she seemed perfectly .happy as she was preparing to go to little Falls to spend the holidays with her brother, D. M. Cameron.

The police when they first were in­formed of these facts, refused absolu­tely to believe that Miss Cameron was alive at so late an hour. Later they were forced to aeeept the story as facts, for they are indisputable.

The new discovery coes not solve the mystery of this woman's death. It deepens it. Every detail of tiie story which Miss Fjerestad told over the long distance telephone to The Tribune but miakes it more impos­sible to accept the theory that Miss Cameron ended her own life, say her relatives.

Mr. Cameron of this city searched the room, of his sister and found noth­ing to show that she had intended taking her own . life. Her suit case,

numerous Christmas gifts for her brother, and family at Little Falls and Frank Cameron of Dubuque* Can.

Miss Cameron was 40. years old, and had lived in Minneapolis for about 22 years. She was a former student of the state university. For the last 10 years she had been employed in the office of the Penn Mutual Life Insur­ance company as a stenographer. She had not been working there since No­vember.

The body was taken to Clear Lake, Iowa, Sunday morning, for burial. It was in charge of her two brothers, Donald of this city and Frank, , who arrived in Minneapolis from British Columbia Saturday.

Both brothers insist that their sis­ter was the victim of. foul play, and not a suicide. Alter returning from Clear Lake, Iowa, they spent several days in Minneapolis in trying to se­cure some clue whereby the real cause of her death could be established.

A tentative verdict of suicide has been rendered by Coroner Seashore of Minneapolis in the case. The coroner said he turned in the report in ordev to clear the "case, but was in read­iness to make a supplementary report should developments arise to indicate he was mistaken in his theory of sui­cide.
