New Trial
Sheriff Allan Pinkerton, of Cavalier county, arrived on the afternoon train, and leaves this afternoon with William Barry, who was convicted of the murder of Andrew Mellem and sentenced to life imprisonment, and afterward granted a new trial by the supreme court. Sheriff Pinkerton bears the order of the court for the removal of Barry. The new trial was granted by the court some months ago, but Barry has been in the penitentiary awaiting the order of the court for his removal. The crime for which Barry was convicted was a sensational one, and the trial occasioned wide interest. The new trial will probably be held in some other county than Cavalier.  Bismarck Daily Tribune Tuesday March 24, 1903


Cavalier Men to be Drafted
Word comes from Scott Sask, that Walter Frederickson, who some years ago was foreman of the Moon, has enlisted with the Canadian volunteers and is now on the way to the front.  If the orders to draft all able bodied men are issued a goodly number of young men who were formerly Cavalier county residents will be taken. Bismarck Tribune Friday September 18, 1914
