Fancy Prices for Cattle.

II. 1saacson OF Melville. recently secured
fancy prices on shipment OF cattle to
Chicago that again demonstrate the
profits to be made IN judicious feeding
with good stock. In car load of cattle
he shipped we're three 3-year old steers
that netted $65 each. Besides the bay
fed during the winter, each head was fed
about 50 worth of ground grain. The
remainder OF the car load brought pro.
portionately good price. Mr.. Isaacson
wintered $50 head Of stock last winter,
alone, for which he put up 300 tons of
hay at an expense of $40 besides his own
labor. All his stock is dehorned. He
farms a quarter section as side issue
and grinds his own feed. With hog
raising be has not been as successful as
with cattle.

Kicking on Doctors Fees.

The commissioners of LaMoure county
do not seem willing to allow the physi-
clans who testified in the Vlllers insanity
trial the expert fees which the court
directed should be paid. The statutes
provide for no fees for experts, who do
not testify to facts but only give opinion.
The usual expert fee Is $40 per day, but
Judge Rose in this case held that owing
to the heavy expense to which the
county was put IN the trial and its
rather Strengthened financial condition,
that resident physicians should be al
lowed SIS per day and those brought from
jamestown 81. It was believed unfair
to ask physicians from this city, who
were compelled to give up tpelr practice
entirely, to 60 SO miles and attend court
foz 81 day-which would only pay
hotel bills. The county commissioners
wish to overcome the courts ruling and
pay but the regular witness fees and are
said to be willing to take the case to
another court fer y judic;a! decision.
There is said to be considerable diseatis-
faction also in that county over tho ex-
pense incurred by the county in the
prosecution of the Vlllers case.

Saving Money for Creditors.

A'AOssoS
The Barnes County bank at Ssnborn
which failed number Of years ago on
account Of bad management, and left
creditors some $4,000 I'm the hole," has
never had final wind up Of its affairs.
About $1,000 have been saved from tho
wreck, and several attachments suits are
now pending settlement in Judge Roses
court, whereby it is hoped the amount
can be somewhat increased by sale of
bank property and a dividend OF Is to 20
per cent declared. The failure was one
of the rottenest bank deals ever known
in the state, and the creditors have as
yet received nothing.
Judge Rose saved for creditors neat
sum of money recently in the sale Of a
lot of notes and securities, in the Valley
City HeldeI failure assets. The court
had ordered the advertisement and sale
of about $1,000 worth of notes. It was
learned that, by an agreement with a
few of the principal creditors, only about
$500 we're to be bid fo- the paper. The
Judge ordered a new advertisement of
the sale and secured, at competitive
bidding, over 81, 500 instead of the $500.
A little scheme was thus frustrated by
the court and a neat sum Of money saved
for people who were unable to defend
themselves.

School Chart Fraud.

Superintendent Lyon has received a
card from County Supt. Perkins of Bis
marck, warning him to look out for a
chart seller who is said to be taking IN
unsuspectlng school districts and was
believed to be headed for this city. The
man, who gives the name of Thomas
Evans. lives at Taylor, Stark county
The Bismarck Tribune says Evans was
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
County Superintendent Perkins, charged
with peddling without license. Evans
was selling chart at from $3.50 to $39,
which either of the local bookstores
would have been glad to have furnished
for from SIS to $50, at the outside, and
then made good profit. The complaint
was made to protect the districts from
further swindling operations, as, IN ad-
dition to the exorbitant cost of the chart
when delivery was not made at the time,
some 50 express was paid. On Evans
cancelling orders not delivered, paying
costs and agreeing to leave the country,
the case was dismissed.
