Word comes Saturday that Eric Mikelson of Story County has been released from the Helena Montana penitentiary after serving a year and a half of a four year term for safe cracking. The board of pardons, urged by his aged mother, found no evidence justifying the conviction and called the sentence a travesty on justice. Mikelson, son of Knadt Mikelson, pioneer settler of Palestine Township and first merchant of Huxley, had disappeared after leaving home when very young. His father’s death prompted a search by Senator Fitchpatrick for his signature on estate papers, leading to discovery in the Montana prison and the long effort to secure his release.
