Attorney Hildreth Hopes for Third
Trial for Kent.
FARGO. N. D., Aug. t4,-Apparently II,
Attorney M. A. Hildreth, who de-
Tended Kent i'll his recent trial for the
murder of Mrs. Kent, is not going to
give up the fight for another trial for
his client. Mr.. Hildreth is sanguine
that new trial will have to be
granted In an interview the attorney
said that if the case is taken to the
supreme court and the verdict of the
jury in the lower court is not reversed,
application will be made to the United
States courts, as legal federal ques-
ton is involved in the last trial, which
would entitle the hearing of the case
in that judiciary.

In the meantime the old board will
not change it's course. but go Oh rein
forcing the city Jail and preparing tc
resist an assault.
This is taken as certian evidence
that conflict will result, since the old
board will not surrender,
One plan of the A. P. A. board is
this: The new board will organize a
new police force and put new men on
every beat in the city. The old officers
will arrest them and take them before
Police Judge Borka, who is an A. P.
A., who will at once release them,
holding that the new men are the real
officers, instead of being men who are
impersonating officers. AS soon as the
A. P. A. are released they will bring
heavy damage suits against the officers
making the arrests, including their
bondsmen in the suit. So far as the
possession of the recordsyQf the fire and
police commission is concerned, the A.
P. A. claim to care nothing. Indiyid-
ual conflicts are likely to occur when
thh police arrest one another.

YOUNG MEN FIGHT.
Carter and Godfrey Have IL Hot
Battle i'm Snow Hill.

There was trouble in Aydelotte
town on Tuesday night. Steve Carter
accused Isaac Godfrey of talking about
his sister and the two men exchanged
some very forclble remarks. hardly
suited to prayer-meeting, before they
came TO blows. Matters warmed up to
such pitch that the conversation hal
not progressed far when Carter pulled
out an ugly locking knife and made a
lunge at Godfrey He lodged aud ran
t. fence nearby. from which he tore
of board and went back to meet his
antagonist, who nothing daunted made
another attempt to get at Godfrey with
his knife the plank was ready for use,
however. and il came down against the
back OF Carter's neck and the next
blow broke every bone in one OF his
hands. Women and children of the
neighborhood ilocked out to see what
the trouble was. some of them armed
with axes, frying pans and other warlike
implements, still the fight went on and
it was only through force that the two
young men were separated. A physi-
clan was sent for and Mr.. Carriers
injured hand was dressed.
