December
29, 1903 – Mrs. Katrina Mueller, of Duluth, who created a
disturbance in the state capitol building Monday, was in police court today,
charged with disorderly conduct. She was committed to the Ramsey County jail by
Judge Hine, who ordered an examination as to her sanity.
Mrs. Mueller was interested in a Duluth mining case, involving several million dollars, and a decision adverse to her was rendered by the Minn. Supreme Court last week. She was threatening the governor when turned over to a policeman at the state house.
In the police court today she asked the city prosecutor to arrest the judges of the state supreme court.
Mrs. Mueller had claimed that the Johann Mueller of Duluth, deceased, was her husband who had deserted her many years ago in Detroit. Judge Cant ruled that the evidence showed she was mistaken and that she was attempting to claim the estate of a stranger.

The land involved in the case lies in excellent position with reference to the iron belt of the Mesabi, and is believed to contain a large body of ore.
