Dedication of Christ Church.
The new and beautiful Christ church
at Mandan was dedicated Friday by
Rt. Rev. Bishop VIM. D. Walker, as
sisted by clergymen in attendance at the
annual convocation of the diocese OF
North Dakota.
It is seldom that the dedicatory serv-
ice is the first one held in a new church,
but the congregation at Mandan are to
be congratulated on the completion OF
the church on the 22d, and entirely free
from debt dedicated on the 23d.
The dedicatory services were followed
by the conservation of Rev. Reefs of Fort
Totten, Is a deacon, and the administra.
ton of the holy communion.
After the morning services the ladies
served an elegant lunch at the Emerson
institute to the members of the convoca-
ton and visitors from Bismarck, James
town, Dickinson and other towns. AT
$50 the annual address of the bishop
was delivered, followed by a business
meeting of the convocation.
In the evening a largely attended
missionary meeting was held with ad-
dresses by the bishop and visiting
clerymen.
New administrator Appointed.
J. H. Wagner of Fort Yates, was Fri
day appointed administrator for the
estate of G. 81. Mccarthy. The cause of
the appointment of. this administrator
gives rise to an interesting relation of
facts. Mccarthy was one of the old
timers along the Missouri, and was at
one time sheriff Of Burleigh county.
Nearly ten years ago he was drowned in
crossing the river, his team going
through an air hole in the ice. An ad-
ministrator was then appointed and his
estate settled up. At the time of his
death, however, Mccarthy had pending
before the government, a claim for In
dian depredations amounting to $1,000.
Nothing was thought OF this until re-
Gently, when his relatives were informed
by department officials that it was prob
able the claim would be allowed. APP
plication was Immediately made, and
the administrator yesterday appointed
is to have charge of the matter.
" Tax Cases Decided.
Last evening g. L. Bradley of Fargo,
acting for Ball & Watson, wat before
Judge Rose in the old Northern Pacific
tax cases. These are cases brought by
the railroad company to stop sales of
their lands for the taxes of 1887. Mr..
Conklin appeared for Stutsman county,
Mr.. Winterer of Valley City, for Barnes,
and Nj. Camp for Foster, Eddy, Wells
and LaMoure counties. The judge
made final DEGREES in all cases, involving
lands in the indemnity strip; that is, the
lands between the forty and fifty mile
limits. He held that the taxes or those
lands were illegal and void. No decis
ion was rendered in the cases involving
lands in the original grant. The attor
neys for the counties ask that decisions
in those cases be not rendered till the
United States supreme court decides the
questions involved. Judge Rose may
however, not Q fit to await thai
decision.-Jamestown Alert.
