BISMARCK EEK TRIBUNE FRIDAY. 10 1894

IN 1875. He was ordered before an exem-
lining board for promotion to be a paymas-
ter on the 4th of December, 1855, said board
consisting of three paymasters, and by this
board he was wholly retired from the naval
service.
The records of the navy department, and
also the records of the accounting officers
OF the treasury department, show that
while Mr.. YOrke was in the naval service
his accounts were always promptly and
correctly rendered, and the files of the navy
department contain letters from his com
handing officers extending overa period Of
twenty years showing his conduct and rec
ord to have been of the highest character.
During all the years Of his service he was
never placed under arrest, suspended, rep
rimanded, or punished in any way whatso-
ever, and your committee believes, from its
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. into the facts concern
ing this case, that the action taken by the
examination board was arrivedia at without
sufficient evidence, and therefore your
committee thinks that this bill should pass.
and thus in a measure repair the injury
done Mr.. Yorke.
1t should also be stated that Mr.. Yorke
suffers from a broken leg, which injury he
received directly in the line of duty, n as
ne seeks only to be placed upon the retired
list OF the navy, with the rank which he at
tanned after twenty odd years of faithful
and meritorious service. your committee is
OF The unanimous opinion that his PRAYER
should be granted and the bill enacted.

joints in it that he entered into with the
now attorney general Of North Dakota.
Mr.. Spencer and Mr.. Standish were
billed to speak at Ardoch on the same
night; the hall had been secured by Mr..
Spencer's friends and Mr.. Standish came
up here to see about it and finally pro-
posed to Nj. Spencer that they meet in
Joint debate. Mr.. Spencer was quite
willing; the agreement was that Stan
dish would open with q half hour talk
and Spencer would follow with an hour
talk and Standish would have a half
hour to close in. Everything fixed, the
night came and the hall was full, so was
Standish-full Of talk. Instead of using
his half hour, he used the whole busl-
ness, two solid hours, and people began
retiring in hocks of five and ten. When
he did give way, Mr.. Spencer simply
dismissed those who had stuck it out.
It was a frosty freeze-out, and if Mr..
Allin intends doing any joint debating,
which we don't believe he does, he had
better talk first.

Hines Pardoned.

Grin P. Hines of Richland county,
convicted in February, 1898, of robbery,
and sentenced to the p%enitentiary for
life, was Saturday pardoned by the gov
ernor. The crime for which Hines was
convicted was a petty ope, the victim
only claiming to have been robbed of 81
and a pocket knife, and from the evi-
dence there are grave doubts of Hines
completely in the affair, the prosecuting
witness at first claiming he was not one
of the parties concerned in the robbery,
and allowed him to be released. He was
subsequently arrested, and it was dur
the hobo excitement of 1892, and the
other party accused of the crime having
escaped, public prejudice was no doubt
largely responsible for his conviction.
Hines had been a resident of Riclland
county for a number of years and borne
a good reputation IS a law abiding citi-
zen. The presiding judge, states attor-
ney and a large number of Richland
county officials and citizens strongly
urged executive clemency in the matter.

Fish for Spiritwood.

In a communication to the governor,
State Superintendent of Irrigation and
Forestry Barrett announces that he has
succeeded in making arrangements with
the government for a stock of fish to be
placed in Spiritwood lake. Mr.. Barrett
says the securing of an agreement from
the government to furnish the stock has
been attended with considerable diff
Guilty, as the demands upon the govern
ment fish commission have been SO
heavy as to render it impossible to grant
them all, and it vas only after urgent
solicitation, and the aid of senators, that
he was able to secure the granting of his
request. The fish will be black bass,
the only ones available at present, and
will be shipped to the state at the ex
pense of the government this fall and
winter. Superintendent Barrett is of
the opinion that all of the available
streams in the state should be stocked
with fish, and that the state Legislative
assembly should provide for the main
tenance of a fish hatchery for that pur.
pose.

has been said about the matter, to read
the report of the house committee on
matter, returned July 20, 1894:
Louis A. Yorke entered the navy when
he was 151a years old, such entry being in
February, 1862. He was commissioned as
assistant paymaster In October, 1859, and

Appraisal Finished,

The appraisal of the Fort Rice Mill.
tary reservation, which was begun about
a year ago, was finished the first of the
present week, and the appraisers will
submit a report of their labors, and
close up the affairs. The first board of
appraisers to begin upon the work was
Geo. A. WEIGH, H. 81. Harmon and
Kemper Peabody. The latter resigned,
upon his appointment as public exam
iner, and E. r. Steinbruck of Mandan,
was appointed in his place, and by this
latter board, the greater part of the
work was done. The reservation proper
is an irregular tract of land, and lies on
both sides of the Missouri, it's greatest
width being about twelve miles. The
reservation is n of the Oldest in the
state, and a military post was estab-
lished there Immediately after the civil
a The fort upon it was afterward va
Gated, upon the establishing Of Fort
Lincoln, and the present appraisal is
with the view OF dividing the land up
into forty-ac acre tracts, in which parcels it
will be sold, as soon as the findings OF
the appraisers are received and approved.
The sale will probably be by public
auction, from the land Office at this
place.
The reservation contains some excel
lent land. Parts of it are thickly
wooded with Rrowths of good timber,
and it is we'll watered by numerous
tributaries of the Missouri. Some fine
hayland Is also comprised in it's extent,
and fertile farming land is also Guilt
waited within its borders. On this side
of the river, numerous farmers have
taken and proven up, on claims, and the
appraisers say that several claims have
also been taken up after the time speci-
fed by congress to limit the taking of
claims. These will probably be pur-
chased by the persons now holding them.

They Cannot Recover.

They Cannot Recover.
An interesting and important decision
was filed by the state supreme court on
Saturday, in the case Of David Bows, il.
& Co. VS.. S. L. Glaspell, appealed from
the district court of Stutsman county.
The case is interesting, as it establishes
the legal status of dealing in wheat op-
tions in this state. The case was argued
before the last term of the supreme
court here, and the opinion of the court
is written by Guy G. H. Corliss.
The plaintiffs in the case were commits
sion merchants in the city Of Duluth aud
members Of the Duluth board Of trade.
The defendant Is Attorney Glaspell of
Jamestown, and the case is a suit to re-
cover for margins on wheat deals. In
September, 1885, the defendant com
menced the shipping of. wheat to the
plaintiffs, to be sold by them at Duluth.
The shipments continued for a time, and
finally, on October Both, the defendant
sent to the plaintiffs an order to purchase
for him 10000 bushels of May wheat, at
a price not to exceed SO cents a bushel.
Similar orders were exchanged until the
following June, when the, plaintiffs sold
him out, he having failed to keep good
his margins. The first transaction re-
suited in a small profit to the defendant,
but in the last one, a purchase Of $4,000
bushels Of May whsat, there ensued a
9 loss to Glaspell, over and above all
moneys paid to plaintiffs of over $1,000.
The plaintiffs, claimed they were forced
to pay out this sum-, except their own
commissions, and they brought suit to
recover. The trial court found in evi.
dence that the deals were wagering trans
actions, and that no wheat was to be re-
ceived or delivered by either party. The
supreme court holds that the transaction
therefore, is void, at common Law.
The action. however, is not upon the
contracts Of purchase and sale, but to re-
cover commissions and advances made
by the agents. The court holds, also,
that the rule which prevents recovery
applies with equal force to the agents
who bring the parties together, and that.
they, knowing all the circumstances of
the dealings, cannot recover commissions
or advances made by them.
Upon the question Of the knowledge
Of the plaintiffs as to the intention al
the defendant TO gamble, the language
