FARGO. \. D.. April "A = Before
Judge Templeton the respective sides
in the Hill vs.. Argus case came up on
mandamus to compel A. W. Edwards
and NJ. r. Flint. as president and secre-
taTv, to transfer shares of stock held by
Faulkner. as trustee, to B. F. Spald-
ing and q. L. Ward. The Judge ruled
that. unless additional authorities were
produced, the mandamus could not be
granted. and the case went over until
Thursday next. In the United States
court an attempt was made TO have b.
F. SpaIding named as receiver of the
Argus company in place OF E. s. Tyler,
but the court could not see it in that
light. and Tyler is still in charge.
Faulkner has been served with papers
in two suits. one to compel him to give
Mai. Edwards proxy On the stock he
holds as trustee, the other against
Faulkner and j. J. Hill for damages in
thier endeaYor TO wreck the Argus busi-
ness.
Late tonight the appointment of E.
5. Tyler, as receiver of the Argus Print
ing company. was confirmed by Judge
Thomas, of the United States court.

REMANDED TO JAIL.
The Bonds of Rev. Clifford Fixed at
$1,000.

Special to the Globe
MLBANK, April 14-Rev. William Z.
Clifford, who was arrested on charge
of adultery preferred by Harry Hocum,
in connection with the exciting and
highly sensational event of Saturday
night last, was arraigned yesterday be-
fore City Justice Pasco. States AttOr-
ney Bennett and j. w. Bell. Esq, ap-
peared for the prosecution, ana County
Judge Bond for the defense. The pris-
oner pleaded not guilty and waived eX-
animation. The justice fixed the bond
at $1,000, in default of which Clifford
was committed into the custody of the
sheriff. 1t is not probable that
he can procure bonds, and he
will consequently remain in jail
until the next term of court. next fall.
A. B. Falling. of Prescott, Wis. father
of Mrs. Hocum, arrived here Monday
morning and left last night with his
daughter. accompanied by the oldest
child, q boy aged about seven years.
The shocking event continues TO be a
fruitful topic of discussion. and it will
be a long time before the community re-
covers from its demoraliZiug effects.
The wife of the prisoner is still con-
fined to bed, and refuses to believe the
terrible story that her husband is
guilty.

all dubious measures his opposition
IS tantamOunt To its defeat. Yester-
day, fer instance, bill which
had run the gauntlet of all committees
and was upon the calendar for final dis
position. was summarily disposed of by
Mr. Kinney, who in a few sentences
pointed out its foolish restrictions. The
members having implicit confidence in
the st. Louis member. at once revoked
their previous votes III favor of the bill.
and it was killed. Mr.. Kinney is con-
servative in his tendencies. and has
streMously opposed the wild-eyed.
ehimerical legislative propositions Of
legislators Of the StOckwen cult.
Though a Republican. Nh Kinney was
one OF the members of the special com
mittee which Investigated the state
prison management. and indOrsed a re-
port the fearless and scathing charac-
ter OF which has hardly been equaled
in this state. Mr. Kinney yes
terday afternoon backed up this
report by a most critical speech
in support of the bill to abolish con-
tract labor at the state prison. Few Re-
publicans would have the stamina to
take up such a position. especially con-
siderlng that the Republican party is
responsible for the management OF the
state prison. Mr.. Kinney has proved
himself conscientious legislator. He
IS credit to the constituency which re-
turned him 10 the legislature.

closed.
Mr.. Linnemann followed this up with
a good. strong speech. showing up the
tallacies of Mr.. Bell. The Democratic
party was not all responsible for the
gross irregularities which had charac-
terlZed the management Of the state
prison.

bill was carried
