Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1891-11-27

appeared for the defendant, who wa
given till 2 p. m. to-day to plead.
Mrs. DR.. Mott was informed agains
for practicing medicine without a Ii
cense. She has left the state and CAV,
her own bond for her appearance. The
information was fled.
sCABBY SHEEP INVOLVED.
The case of M. A. E. Brigham vs.. S
B. Lawrence and B. A. Schwab (Mr
Philbrick appearing for plaintiff an6
MIR. Register for defendant) was argued
before the court on a demurrer. The
most interesting feature in the case was
the statements made in the answer. The
suit was on a promissory note for $3.50
The defendants gave the note in pay
ment for eighty-six sheep, which after.
wards turned out to be scabby. The
answer of the defendants claimed that
under the law Of the state, the payment
of the note could not be insisted upon
because of the scabbiness of the sheep.
The plaintiff demurred to the answer
and on this demurrer came the argu-
ment. The court will render his de
cision this morning.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The undertaking was vacated and the
bondsmen exonerated in the cases of w
Fl. Clarke and Jennie Steed.
Judge Philbrick laid down the dictum
that the mutton of a scabby sheep is
just as good as that of a n%on.scabby
animal and that it is a question if a lit
tie scab is any detriment to a sheep.
Aaron M. Mason is liable to get into
trouble. He vas subpened to appear
yesterday morning as a witness in the
case Of the state against Swenson, but
instead of vending his way to the court
house, he wendell his way in the direc-
ton of the north pole. Judging from
the statement made to a bailiff by a
member of his family, it looked as
though Mr.. Mason's abstention was for
a purpose. A bench warrant was issued,
and Mason will find it to his advantage
to be on hand this morning at the court
house.
Judge Winchester expressed his regret
that the attorneys had not been ready
With their cases so as to bring on a jury
case, and he gave them warning that if
this morning there is not a jury case
ready at 8 o'clock, he will adjourn the
term.
On motion of Mr.. Newton, Messrs,
Francis, Stoyell and Philbrick we're ap.
pointed a committee to draw resolutions
regarding the death of Mr.. E. Il. Her
rick.
The Finest Church in North Dakota.
The Presbyterian church in Bismarck
Is the finest and most costly church edi.
fee in North Dakota. In every respect
it excels except one-its sittings. As
the list has never been published, few
people in Bismarck realize the amount
of money contributed to this enterprise
by kind and generous friends in the east
This money has been expended in put.
ting in the furnaces, cathedral glass
windows, building the handsome spire,
finishing the inside and outside wood
work, painting, grading grounds, etc.
The church people are now on the home
stretch in a final effort to complete the
church. About 5000 is required, Of which
amount $3.50 is now on hand. This will
replace the old benches and chairs with
handsome sittlngs. The church is a
credit to this community, a monument
to the moral integrity and enterprise of
the capital city Of North Dakota. Bis
marck people have already been liberal
in their contributions, but the church
people are not without hope that some
of Bismarck's liberal and public-spirited
citizens, seeing what has been done for
the church by strangers, will be persuad-
ed to make one more and last effort to
complete the edifice. The amount is
small if divided among many and there
ought to be no trouble experienced in
raising an amount so small when COM
pared with the aggregate sum raised
through the individual efforts of Rev.
Anderson and his good family.
