COURT NOTES.
The n. p. tax matter will probably be
argued tonight. This is by odds the mosv
important matter of the term and the
arguments will be able and interesting
Judge Mcconnell of the Fargo district
will be here Tuesday to preside during
the remainder CT the Stutsman coanty
term of court and Judge Rose will go to
Wahpeton for the rest of the Richland
county term. This arrangement is made
to accommodate Judge Rose because a
number of cases in which he was retained
before his appointment to the bench, will
be tried next week.
The Northern Pacific tax question is
expected to be taken up Immediately
upon the conclusion Of the case now before
Judge Rose. This will be the most i'm
portant matter of the term and upon the
outcome will probably depend the con-
summation of the settlement proposed by
the company and accepted by number
of counties of which Stutsman was one
at the recent Bismarck conference.
Mcmillan & Frye have received let
ter from Crookston, Mion., attorney
who requests a copy of their brief in
,e case of the S.. Paul Fire & Marine
Insurance Co., VS. W. T. Melvin. The
Crookston lawyer has number of SINH
lar cases and evidently wants to post up
on the law, which was ably presented in
the Stutsman county case.
Judge Rose left yesterday afternoon
for Wahpeton to preside during the re-
mainder of Richland county's term of
court and Judge Mcconnell of the Fargo
district came in this morning to take
Mr.. Roses place during the balance of
the week at this term. This arrange
ment was made in order that Judge
Rose might not be compelled to hear
certain cases, which will be tried this
week, IN which he was retained before
his appointment to the bench.
On of the rising and brilliant at t'orneys
of the northwest is Mr.. Jno. G. Bullitt Jr.
of st. Paul, whose services are engaged
in the legal department of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. He has been
here a week fighting, in connection with
Jpo S. Watson the company's attorney
at this place, one of The most closely con-
tested cases that has appeared in the
courts the A. H. Glaspell land suit.
The case was ably argued and conducted
for the plaintiff by Attorney ). l.. Glas-
pell, assisted bv Johnson Nickeus and E.
W. Camp all of jamestown. Every inch
Of the way was fought for and the fact
that the railroad company took over 200
exceptions upon which to base an appeal /
in case of defeat showed how important
the proceedings were to them. The ver-
dict of the jury also showed how we'll
Mr.. Glaspell's case WAS presented, and is
an important victory for that gentleman.
