Attorney Boyeson, Of Fargo, representing
Eessina 3. Erskne has brought an action
against Hope School Township ct al to recover
some $500 on orders issued by School District
81, formerly a part Of Trail county. The
payment Of these orders is resisted by Hope
township on the ground that its territory was
never embraced in district 81 and also because
all the territory which embraced district 81 at
the time these debts were contracted should
be held for their payment Attorney Mcmahon
has filed demurrer tc the complaint and the
argument will be heard before Judge McCon-
nell, in chambers, on the 10th. A good deal
Of interest is manifested in the case, as upon
its decision may rest the liability Of the terri
tory originally embraced in district 81 to re-
fund to Hope township considerable amount
of money paid out for which it was not liable.

A Scheme.

At the auction sale in Washington Of
the personal effects of Lord Sackville q
funny incident occurred. A writing
desk was put up, n handsome piece of
carved wood, but the bidding on it was
very slow. The auctioneer did his best
to raise the figure to reasonable sum.
Pretty soon he whispered to lis assist
ant, who disappeared. In moment
the rumor, started in some mysterious
way, ran through the crowd that it was
upon this desk that Lord Sackville
penned his famous letter to Murchison
At once l.rge price was offered for the
desk, and bid utter bid followed in
quick succ ession, until the article was
finally sold at an exorbitant figure.
