Grand Jury Called for Emmons County October Term

Cecil Pennington confessed to shooting and is jailed in Bismarck. 15 mob members were arrested on riot charges, with murder potential if proven they joined the mob. The term opens October 8, with a petit jury set for October 11 to aid farmers in harvesting.
