Judge Francis, of Bismarck, seems
to have the misfortune of making a
great many enemies in the discharge
of his duties rs Judge. Few seem to
question his integrity or legal ability
and yet he is continually getting into
trouble with the lawyers, clients and
witnesses. He seems to be over.
anxious to save time, and in his efforts
to bring witnesses to the point, hold
lawyers back from long.winded ex.
aminations and discussions, as well as
to maintain order and decorum in the
court room, he frequently provokes
enmity by his want of tact. Judge
Francis seems to he a good. well.
meaning man, but has the disease we
once heard called 'nervism." Anxious
to do the right thing he does it at the
wrong time and in the wrong way.
The Bismarck Journal says of him :
"Given a paper case and left to him.
self, the Judge would no doubt reach
correct conclusions, and would be as
impartial as any man can be. but rs {.
presiding judge, while he does not
forget the dignity due himself, he
certainly himself forgets the dignity
due others; ard no lawyer who has
any regard for his own dignity can
feel easy in presenting a case before
him. Yesterday a lawyer moved TO
quash an indictment where his client
was charged with highway robbery.
The law was cited to sustain the
motion. The judge, instead of pass.
ing upon the motion. said: "Do you
want your client to lie in Jail several
months 2" "But he is on bail, your
HONOR" the attorney replied. "Then
I'll increase his ball." said the judge.
That is to say, he proposed to punish
the client because the lawyer was
doing his duty. Incidents of this
nature have tendency to destroy the
confidence of clients in their attorneys.
To-day he left the bench to inquire of
an attorney who was sitting listlessly,
perhaps, by a table, what he was doing
there. The lawyer replied that he
was an attorney and it was his right
and duty to be present. "Then you
must pay attention to the business
before the court" or words to that
effect, the judge replied. In summing
up the DeMoles case to-day, Mr.. Long
intimated that he had been interrupt.
ed by the court, embarrassed and
hindered in many ways, and did not
feel that he had either done himself
or the Territory Justice. Other at.
torneys feel the same way. Another
incident, and the Journal will dismiss
the subject, having spoken of these
things in kindness to the Judge and
not with a view to the situation. A
Mandan lawyer on Wednesday smiled
in court in response to something said
to him by q brother lawyer. The
Judge assumed he was making fun of
the court, and after words of sharp
reproof said if he were to tell what lie
knew about him he would never dare
show his face in court again. This in
open court, without the slightest
provocation.'

some verses written on the subject of
the recent lynchinga at Olga. We have
not inserted these lines for reasons
that we think will appear, also, to our
correspondent when he takes time for
a broader consideration of the subject.
Perhaps a brief discussion of this
question may not be amiss right here.
We are opposed to lynching under any
circumstances, rs demoralizing to
those who engage in it, degrading to
the public conscience and, in the end,
subversive of the ends of justice.
The duties of Il hangman are not
supposed to he very clevating in their

official capacity and under the man.

far different thing, however, for one
man in obedience to the law and with.

men, voluntarily, with vengeful feel.
ings, to take mans life, however
bad he may be. An infraction of the
law, especially in the nature of an
outburst of mob violence, must neces.
sarilv have q demoralizing tendency
upon those engaged in it.
Such acts of violence, favorably dis.
cussed and commented upon, tend to
beget repetition Of them, even under
lesser provocation. Especially would
this be the case if the public press and
the officers of the law would lend their
support to such methods. The crowd
that would hang a murderer of the
more dibolical type, would soon not
hesitate, if encouraged by public sen.
timent, to hang any murderer, and
from that would 60 a step farther and,
under the impulse of excited feeling
lynch a man OH strong suspicion
of crime. We need not enlarge on
the results that follow when the
forms of law are trampled under foot
and unbridled Indignation has full
sway. Let the pulpit, the press and
the officers of the law wheel around to
the support of lynch law and before
many years more injustice and brutal.
ity would take place in this new
country under the pretext of punish.
ment for crime than are now exhibited
in the committing of it. A. state of
things would arise that would be
proof without argument of the bad
effects of lynch law.
1t is said in justification of lynching
that courts of justice cannot always lie
depended upon to adequately punish
criminals. Now, if the practice of
lynching would tend to make legal
penalties more just, speedy and Ger.
tain, then here would be one argument
in favor of lynch law. But we venture
to assert and challenge proof to the
that where lynch law is more
frequently restored to, crime is more
common and courts of justice oftener
fail in their duty. That is to say,
under such circumstances, courts are
more swayed by the mob that would
hang Il man at one time and glorify
him at another.
Let every law abiding citizen in
this new country discountenance any
resort to mob law. Some portions of
the west have unfortunately got the
name of heing too willing to harbor
Judge lynch, and such a reputation
hurts any country. Let this not he

WOOD COUNTY MARSHES.

Something like two weeks ago we
gave our readers a few notes on the
Elm Lake cranberry marshes This
week we will speak of the marshes
centered at what is known as Bearss
Station, Is miles south Of Centralia
on the St. Paul railroad There and
in that vicinity is found thousands OF
acres of marsh in its natural state,
besides that which is cultivated. 1t
was impossible to learn the number of
acres which are cultivated. The first
marsh inspected was that of W. Skeels.
First let US state that Mrs. S. Skeels
served us with a dinner which was
relished and would have been credit
to any hostelry. In company with
Mr. S. we tramped over much of his
marsh consisting of 200 acres, 60 of
which has vines. He has fine sys-
tenn of bitches and dams, is but few
rods from the railroad track and has all
things convenient. His crop this year
will be at least 600 barrels. During
our tramp we did not see any marsh
superior to his. At the station is
found all the concomitants of a live
town. Four stores, one owned by
E. Kruger, run by A, L. Crosse, A.
Bezaillon, N. Meunir, and T. Meunir
Plenty of gamblers and whisky, a
bakery by A. l.. Crosse and faro
table at which sat ten Indians playing
against Daddy Ryan Following the
tram way north we soon reached the
Whittlesy marsh, 240 acres, which is
quite like that of Mr.. Skeels. Here
we found Mr. and Mrs Whittlesy
busily engaged keeping tally of the
berries, experimenting the work and
paying off the pickers. They were in
fine spirits. There was also Chas.
Quin who had charge of gang of so
pickers and Stephen Demarais in
charge of f. Kruger's store. Chas.
came home Saturday. Over 200 pick
ers were employed on this marsh and
their crop will reach full 1000 barrels
of choice berries Other marshes too
numerous to mention lie in close prox-
unity of each other but we must
content ourselves with simply saying
that it is a business which is interest
ing in every detail and furnishes
employment for many and is profitable
to It's owners. After many inquiries
and much care we have learned the
names of the cranberry men of Wood
county and their crop this season as
follows. The industry is one that is
growing every year and better under
stoou each season through experiment.:
