An Able Advocate.
(From the Steele Ozone I,

| we re gard 1t as mo word of Gisparape-
ment to the ability and genius Of the
bright array Of legal talent that lent bril-
nancy to the varied scenes incident ~
| our recent term of the district conrt "a
make special mention of that able advo.
cate and eminent counselor. w II
Dodge, Of jamestown, who was so con-
splcuous for his untiring energy and I'M
compromising adherance to what be con-
celVed to be the legal rights Of his client.
Ernst Wolf, arraigned on the charge Of
murder Upon the demurrer Of the de-
lense 70 the Indictment OF the grand iary
ne made strong and brilliant argument
and exhibited remarkable research n
his citations of authorities sustaining the
grounds OF the demurrer. The grounds
on which the demurrer was entered were
that part OF the grand jury finding the
Indictment were residents of another
Judicial subdivision, ana that the findings
lhereln did not state sufficient grounds to
constitute q public offense. However
strong may be our convictions Of the
guilt OF Wolf, he is none the less entitled
70 hearing, and when we reflect that he
IS man wholly without means, we can
not but concede to Mr.. Dodge q deep
sense OF pure philanthrophy, and high
regard for the protection vouchsafed ia
humanity by our governmental lnstitu-
tions.
There was slight agitation o. the Da-
kota ozone intermingled with very fine
chrystalized moisture yesterday which
rendered promenades on the streets in
summer clothes bad taste, but the doctors
al agree that the air was healthful and
bracing especially bracing.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. E. Hughes are called
upon TO mourn the loss Of their babe
aged about six months which died last
M9naay night in HhicL 4 tIsietion il,s,s
have the sympathy Of their numerous
friends. The little one was taken very
i'll last Saturday evening and was hardly
expected to live through the night but
revived and seemed better till MONDAY
night when it grew worse and died at
midnight.
Last Saturday evening the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. McLain vas

sions and died about midnight. She was
a bright and beautiful little child and the

When he started out last Saturday after
noon his little one waved him goodbye
from their window at the Grand Central
which was its last goodbye for the next
he heard from 1t was when the railroad
company sent an engine up after him
Sunday morning. They started Monday
afternoon with the remains to Marshall,
Mich, stopping at Fargo to take up and
convey with this one the remains of i lit
tie girl buried there some three years ago.
The public schools did not resume last
Monday on account of the steam heating
apparatus being out of order, the break
down occurring as usual at the very time
when most needed. That heater has
boen tried for several years and is proven
to be an excellent one for summer use,
when the thermometer is about Loo in the
shade, but for winter use it is no good,
and the sooner it is taken out and put ON
the hid iron market the better. The
schools will resume NEXT well, whenever
the heating apparatus will work or the
weather moderates SO as not to need any
fire.
