THE GRAND FORKS HERALD WEBSITE HAS A WRITE UP ON “THE ROSEAU STONE”, THE GOLF BALL SIZED ARTIFACT FOUND NEAR ROSEAU SOMETIME AROUND 1916, AND HAS BEEN PRESERVED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AND EVENTUALLY BACK TO THE ROSEAU COUNTY MUSEUM. A GROUP OF GEOLOGISTS BELIEVE THEY SOLVED A BIT OF THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE STONE, BUT SOME OF THE MARKINGS REMAIN A MYSTERY.
CLOSING ARGUMENTS WERE ALREADY MADE YESTERDAY AND JURY DELIBERATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TODAY IN THE CASE AGAINST THE TWO MEN IN THE SMUGGLING DEATHS OF THE PATEL FAMILY. THE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS AT TIMES HAVE TRIED TO DIG THEIR CLIENTS OUT OF A HOLE, CALLING EACH OF THEM VICTIMS AND PAWNS OF A MUCH LARGER OPERATION, AND NOTED THAT THE PATEL FAMILY WERE WILLING PARTICIPANTS, AND SHOWED EVIDENCE THAT THEY HAD TRIED TO TELL THEIR BOSSES THAT THE TIMING OF THE OPERATION WAS BAD DUE TO THE WINTER ELEMENTS. THE GOVERNMENT DOES KNOW THE IDENTITIES OF SOME OF THE MASTERMINDS, BUT NO WORD ON WHAT POTENTIAL LEGAL ACTION LIES AHEAD.
MORE DETAILS FROM THE ROSEAU COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ON THE NOVEMBER 4TH FIRE IN STRATHCONA, WHERE THE BODY OF SEDDREX GATES OF BRAINERD WAS FOUND. SMOKE INHALATION HAS NOW BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE OF DEATH AND THE FIRE IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE BEEN STARTED BY GATES. HE WAS A SUSPECT AND WANTED IN CONNECTION WITH A BROOKLYN CENTER HOMICIDE AND ARSON CASE. GATES WAS HIDING OUT IN THE AREA AND HAD REMOVED HIS COURT ORDERED ANKLE BRACELET.
