Dresser Gets Free.
District court played to a poor house
Thursday because of the superior attrac-
tions offered by Justice Tibbils in the
Braithwaite-D Dresser assault and battery
case. Although set for 2 o'clock, it was
after 4 when the trial of the case COM
menced, it requiring some time and caus-
ing considerable delay to summon the
twelve jurymen. Captain Braithwaite,
the complaining witness, was the first to
be put upon the stand. He testified
that on election day Dresser had APP
preached him twice, each time speaking
loudly and abusively. That he had APP
pealed to the mayor for protection, and
that after Dresser had placed his hand
on his, Braithwaite's coat, rather
roughly, he was taken away by the
police. The testimony did not disclose
any personal violence on the part of
Dresser, but merely proved the bestowal
upon Braithwaite by Dresser of some
epithets which would not look we'll in
print, but which reflect upon the cap
tain's ancestry.
PR. Smith, Thomas Fortune, Harry
Galloway, John Ray, and others were
called to corrobrate Braithwaite's testi-
mony, and the plaintiff rested.
The defense called several witnesses,
E. G. Patterson, John F. Philbrick aid
others, who testified that Dresser had
called Braithwaite vile names, but could
not say that any personal violence had
been attempted. Lem was then put
upon the etand and denied having pos
sessed any intention of harming the
complaining witness. When asked if he
had started to pull off his coat, he said
he had, but merely to cool himself, as it
was a warm day.
The defense argued that the evidence
disclosed neither assault nor battery,
and the jury seemed TO think so too, for
after being out thirty minutes they re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.

Concerning the New Independent Paper.
Fargo Forum: Hon. A. w. Porter
was Q at the Columbia this morning
and told the Forum mar that the stock
holders and trustees of the Independent
held a meeting at Grand Forks yester-
day. "Three.fourths of the stock was
represented at the meeting" said Mr..
Porter, "and in behalf of the special
committee, I recommended a reorgani-
cation of the company, by increasing the
capital stock from $4,000 to S25,OOO and
change the place of publication from
Grand Forks to Fargo. We have $4,000
paid up capital already pledged, and
have bought the plants of the Dakota
and the Commonwealth, but not the
Commonwealth paper. I presume that
will be continued by Messrs. Grant g.
Moore, and We may publish it for them.
The new company will own and publish
both an English and Scandinavian
paper, and there is also q movement on
foot to establish q German edition as
we'll. The proceedings Of this meeting
will have to be certified to the secretary
of state in order to change the charter
and in the meantime we have made ar
rangements to get out the first edition
next week. It is probable that Mr..
Trovatten will remain as manager of the
Scandinavian edition, but I am not at
liberty to state who the editors will be
until the next meeting of our committee"
