Nothing like it" he repeated, emphat-
ically. "a great part of the scare has been
totally uncalied for. Why, a number of
newspapers got to printing a number OF
sensational and grossly exaggerated sto;

in Dakota and Nebraska became panic
stricken. They sold their property for al
most what they could get, abandoned their
homes and rushed to the nearest
railway station, when, in fact, they
were i'll no more danger

The bank held as security for their claim,

moved that sentence be passed. Mr.. Han
itch appeared for the defendant, and stated
that his client had been sufficiently pun
ished already by reason of the trouble and
worry he had experienced. to tone for the
offense. 1t seemed to him, all things con-
sidered, that it would not be in the interest
of justice that the defendant should be de-
prived of his liberty as a punishment and
that justice had already been satisfied.
The sled had been returned and the claims
of the owner had been Sati fled.
The defendant was admonished by the
court, who said that the most unpleasant
part of his duty as Judge of the district
court was passing sentence on anyone, and
in his case the duty was especially un-
pleasant as he had known the defendant
for a number of years. But yet the court
was compelled to perform his duty. He
believed, however, that under all the cir
cumstances, the punishment which was
about to be inflicted would meet the ends
of justice. A large amount of costs had
been made in the case, and the sentence of
the court was that the defendant pay atire
OF 500, Or in default, thirty days impriS
onmenti in the county Jail.
The fine was paid. Court then adjourned
till 10 O'Clock this morning.

oASs
Yesterday morning court met at 10
o'clock. MI. Hanitch moved the case of
Eber II. BLY, VS. Anderson Healy and John
$. Ecklund. Mr.. Hanitch is one of the at
torneys for the defendant
Mr.. Edgerley for the plaintiff said that
he was not yet ready for trial. Mr.. Ball of
Fargo is now the leading counsel in the
case, and he is engaged in some important
business before the court at Fargo, which
is now in session. The prosecution would
be ready for trial on Monday next.
Mr.. Hanitch said that probably there
would be no jury on Monday.
Judge Winchester said this was the next
case and he did not see, if there was no
jury case ready, how it could be passed.
Other cases were brought up and the
court adjourned till 2 o'clock.
In the afternoon a discussion was en-
gagged in by the attorneys in the case of
Hubbard, Spencer & Bartlett company VS.
the Capital National Bank of Bismarck.
Messrs. Francis, Barnes and Newton APP
pearpd for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Jami-
son & Boucher for the defendant. The at
torneys for the plaintiff desired to have
the case tried by the court; the attorneys
for the defendant wanted a jury to con-
slider the case.
The case was dismissed by the attorneys,
after which the court said that he had ex-
amined the papers in the case pretty thor
Oughly and he did not desire to deprive
either party of his right to have a jury
pass upon the facts that would be add. ed.
The case would, therefore, be made q jury
case.
The interminable Van Houten case came
up in the shape of a reply to an order to
show cause, which had been served upon
Messrs. Healy " Van Houten. Mr.. Newton
made a lengthy answer to the order.
The BLY, VS.. Healy case again came up.
1t was put to the foot of the calendar.
me next case that came up was that of
which a jury was empanelIed. Both sides
agreed to try the case with ten jurors.
This was a suit to recover $11l.73 and
interest, balance for services rendered. Mr..
Hanitch appeared for the plaintiff and
Judge Francis for the defendant.
In the fall of 1889 Mr.. Leach, Mr.. Bright
and Mr.. Henry Wells went west. Messrs.
Leach and Wells bought a lodging tent
and set it up at PuyaIlup. Mr.. Bright was
engaged to look after Mr.. Leach's interest
in the tent, Leach and Wells being joint
and equal owners. The plaintiff in the
case claims that the defendant agreed to
pay him "going" wages for his work. The
defendant denies this, and AYERS that he
agreed to give him from one-half to seven
eightbs of his share OF the profits: The
pro fits were practically nothing over and
above the personal expenses Of Wells and
Bright, SO Mr.. Leach figures that he does
not the plaintiff anything beyond
what he has already received.
The case was not concluded when the
court adjourned at 6 O'Clock,
