today.
The case of the steamer Eclipse, in
which Capt. Braithwaite is interested,
was argued before the supreme court
yesterday. On n point or another the
case has been IN court for years. 1t went
to the United States supreme court once,
was in the territorial supreme court, and
three times in state supreme court, be-
sides having several rounds in the
state district courts. Attorney Newton
of Bismarck appeared for Capt. Brailh-
waite, and E. W. Camp Of jamestown
for the opposing side.
L. P. Pretchard, superintendent Of the
Kelley institute at Fargo, was at the
Sheridan house yesterday, for the pur
pose of afording opportunity for consul

does quite an extensive business.
The application to remove the Bis
marck Water Co. ease to the United
States court has been argued and sub
mitted to Judge Thomas at Fargo with
the understanding that the plaintiff be
granted further time to submit law
points. 1t will probably be several days
before the decision is handed down.
Engineer McLain holds the belt for
fast time OF the Dakota division of the
Northern Pacific. He hauled the Ives
special from Fargo to Bismarck, 1913
miles, in four hours and II minutes.
When it is taken into consideration
that five minutes were lost with a hot
eccentric, ten stops made, and coal taken
at Dawson, 1t will be seen that the actual
running time was about a mile a minute,
The train consisted of a baggage car
and two sleepers.
Mr.. P. M. Thompson, representing the
Cooper Hose Jacket company of Mime
apolis, was in the city today, comforting
with city and fire department authorities
with a view to supplying the city with
some of the hose jackets. They are con-
trlvances by which a break in hose is
enclosed in a rubber and metal Jacket,
putting the hose in working shape in
simultaneously. Two couplings can also
be placed within the jacket, without
being coupled, and the jacket makes a
continuous line of the two pieces. A
practical test of them was made on the
streets at noon, and their value and
serviceable qualities were apparent,
Mandan, jamestown and other towns
along the line have ordered them for the
use of their fire departments, and Bis
marck has ordered four.
