District Court.

District Court.
Judge Winchester and Stenographer
Tuttle arrived shortly after noon, last
Monday, and at 2 o'clock the term of
district court began. We have only
space and time to-give~a a brief statement
of the disposition that was made Of the
cases that were on the calendar.
State of North Dakota. vs.. Fred Mas
Dismissed by States Attorney, it having
been found that there was some reason
to believe that Mas was innocent Of
wrong intent, and he having arranged to
pay the costs of the suit.
The case of The State VS.. John D..
Flynn was tried by jury, and, after be-
ing out but short time, the jury re-.
turned verdict of "notguiitY.', The
charge was assault with dangerous
weapon.
The trial of the Flynn case developed
the fact that there was not particle. Of
evidence against Andrew Slater, held as
an accomplice of Flynn's, and his case
was dropped by the states attorney.
:, Patterson's perjury case against Anton
Stanek, the man who made affidavit that
Patterson sold Flynn's boat to him for
81, was also dropped Stanek was pres
ent, ready and willing to testify. He
still states positively that Patterson did
sell him the boat ,g.3
In the case of The State VS.. Aug.
Benz, assault and, battery, the jury were
out from 6 p. m. Thursday to nearly
noon OF Friday, and brought in verdict
of guilty" with recommendation of
mercy. Prisoner was sentenced TO pay
$25 fine. The fine was paid and the
prisoner discharged.
In the case of the appeal of J. W.
Wescott from the Judgment of Justice
Flick, who assessed the costs against him
in the case of the state VS.. Henry
Reamann, in which Mr. Wescott was the
prosecuting witness, the court sustained
the justice of the peace.
The four Ira Young cases and the
Wescott- tt-Greenstine case went over to
next term.
The case of Pierce vs.. Ellis also went
over.
Walker VS.. Moe, made court case.
Judgment for Walker.
The question as to whether Wiley
Wilson, who has been present with his
witnesses at the last three terms of court,
should be allowed to have "his day in
court" was taken up, and the Judge took
the matter under advisement. In this
case, Mr.. Parker settled with the county
board, without consulting his client, .and
against what were afterward found to be
his client 8 wishes. At the present term
Mr.. Wilson sought only to have his case
kept IN court, that it might be decided
on its merits The Record will give the
details of this case as soon as space will
allow.
Court adjourned Saturday about 10 a.
m.. after week of hard work. with the
calendar pretty well cleared up.
The attorneys present were Messrs.
Parker, Armstrong. Lynn, PhiIbrick,
Register and Stoyell. Mr.. Stoyell had
been retained to defend Anton Stanek,
charged by c. A. Patterson with perjury.
But the case was dropped.

Oct. %. "A spark from stoye.pipe at the
residence of the Rev. Ellis, two miles south
west of the postoffice, started fierce, tnz

ltCaS0At6
Walking down a road one morning
with neighbor we suddenly noticed a
little ball of fluff between my feet, and
I could hardly avoid stepping on it, as
it stuck close to me; almost immedi-
ately another appeared at my friend S
feet, and we saw they were newly
Matched pheasants, the mother probably
carried off by some wildcat. As it was
difficult to walk with these little things
running SO close and in the way, we
lifted them into the short grass along
side, and hurried on some 80 yards.
On returning we had forgotten them,
but one ran out, and SO pertinaciously
stuck to my boots that, to save it, put
it into my pocket, and on our arrival at
the bungalow tried to feed it with small
fragments of hard boiled eggs, rice and
white ants. OF all these it took no no.
tice. Next morning the other chick was
found at the foot of the bungalow steps,
having probably followed us unnoticed
the day before. / then called my "ba-
bu," as l could not get them to eat,
and he said, 'sThey must be taught. y
He put the game wire cover they
were under and the crushed rice, egg,
etc, on hard wood table, and taking a
pencil from his pocket and collecting
the eatables together, close to the edge
of the gauze cover, he lifted its edge,
and, with the pencil point inserted, be-
gan sharply tapping among the rice de-
bris. The two chicks at once ran over
to that place and bent over, watching
the tapping, and, to our establishment,
they began tapping with their little
beaks the same way, and before long
had begun to feed on their own account,
just as the 'babu" had predicted, and
after that lesson we had no trouble

Packing Gold for Shipment.

When banker, or coffee merchant,
or whoever it may be, determines to
send gold abroad to meet his obliga-
tions, instead of buying bills of ex-
change he accumulates the amount
he intends to ship in currency in the
form of greenbacks, treasury notes or
gold certificates, and presents them
at the sub-treasury. Uncle Sam is
bound to maintain his credit, much
as he may dislike to see the gold go,
and the treasury officials turn over
the equivalent of the currency pre-
scented in gold coin at short notice.
When the gold is handed to the ship
per all government responsibility
ceases.
The yellow metal is put in canvass
bags and carted to cooper, whose
speciality is making kegs for shipping
gold. The gold kegs are about eight
cen inches high and ten inches in
diameter at the center. They are
made of oak, and are firmly strapped
with iron hoops. The packing of a
key of gold is an easy matter to the
"gold cooper" A keg will hold $780,
900 OF gold coin, and the cooper will
have million dollars of it all packed
ready for shipment in an hours time
Each key weighs 225 pounds, and is
securely sealed. 1t is then ready for
the truckman, who takes it to the
steamer.

incubation from Cancer.

For the first time in the history of
medicine in this country has a COM
plete chain of incubation from cancer
been established in the case ofDr. Ed
ward w. Burnette, of New York, who
now lies at death door. The woman
from whom he received the disease, as
the result of a rather careless act after
treating her case is also dying from
cancer. The woman called upon DR..
Brunette last autumn. She had an
irritation on the tongue. The doctor
applied nitrate ofsilver with his finger,
Some time later he shaved himself,
and in doing so he scratched his left
cheek. To stop the flow of the blood
he applied powder with his finger
He noticed that the cut stung him
longer than usual, but he paid little
attention to il. A swelling resulted
from the scratch and cancer develop
ed. Inc woman had her tongue cut
out about this time, as the irritation
proved to be from cancer. She was
inoculated by using a speaking tube
in the business house of a man who
has since died from cancer. Dr. Bur-
nette was operated upon in March.
Part of his jaw-bone was removed and
the cheek was cut away almost to
the left eye. His condition improved
at first, but he developed alarming
symptoms. 1t is now feared that, in
addition to the growth on his cheek,
which is again malignant, he also has
a cancer on his liver.

SWindIed a Veteran.

Leonard Cline. of Perry Township,
Monroe County, Ohio, was the vic.
tim of two slick swindlers several
days ago. They visited Cline in the
evening, and after alighting from
their carriage informed him that they
were employees of the Pension De-
partment; that Cline had been receiv-
ing too much pension and that they
had been sent to collect the amount
overpaid, which they represented to
be SI4S. Cline told them he doubted
their authority. They declared they
had authority, and would take Cline
to Columbus at his own expense if he
did not pay them at once. The swim
dlers had learned the history of Mr..
Cline's wounds and all about his ef-
forts to secure an increase in pension,
and when they related these facts to
him he was convinced and paid them
SIS in money and gave his note for
the balance, Sis.
Cline draws a pension for half a
dozen wounds received during the
war.

1t Rang the Bell.

A writer tells in the New York Trib-
une how an earthquake in an Italian
city announced itself:
Late one evening Isoletta and Cate
rina rushed in upon us in terrified excite
ment as we sat reading by the light Of
an oil lamp III the yellow room. !"
Their faces were of the whiteness of
paper, and their eyes had wild express
sion of fear.
"Signora, what is the matter? Every
bell in the house is ringing. Maria
Sanctissima, what viii become of us
must explain that the bells were of
the old fashioned variety, which hang
ON wires and are pulled by a bell rope.
"Per carita, signora, come and see
what has happened. "
They were SO much in earnest that,
TO calm their fears, we went into the
hall. There were the 10 bells hung in
row and-inging as though the furies
were at the other end Of the ropei
Ringing Of their own accord apparently,
or at least pulled by no visible hand.
OF sudden we became aware that
the floors were trembling, the walls
were shaking. The whole building
moved on its foundations; it swayed
from side to side, at first slightly, then
farther and farther, with slow,
rhythmic motion. full of grace and
majesty; but we could realize no sensa-
ton beyond sickening terror.
1t was an earthquake. The motion
lasted few seconds, then ceased grad
ually. Had it continued three seconds
longer the tall obelisks, the beautiful
campauili. would have fallen.
