Contempt Case.

The contempt case against K. G.
Kern came up before Judge Winchester
in chambers this morning. The de-
PENDANT was represented by Attorney
w. P. Miller of Fargo and F. H. Regis
ter of the city, and the prosecution of
the case was conducted by States At
torney Allen. The allegations of the
prosecution were to the effect that the
defendent had defied the court, had re-.
fused to give up possession of the prop
erty to the receiver when application
had been made for it, had stated that
she would assault the judge and that
she would hold the place at the point OF
a revolver.
For the defense, Attorney Miller pre-.
sented an answer, which stated that the
defendant had no recollection Of having
made the statements or done the things
that had been alleged. She had thought
at first that the matter was a joke, anc
when she realized it was serious
thought she was being wronged, an6
that she labored under great stress Of
excitement, and had not willfully, ra'
tionally or Intentionally done or sale
anything in contempt of the court, but
that SO far as the afidavits might show
that she had been in contempt, while
having no recollection, still she regretted
anything that she might have said
and expressed full apology.
States Attorney Allen presented some
additional afidavits to establish the al.
legged contempt, and the introduction OF
them was objected to by Attorney Mil.
Ter, who stated that there was no con.
troversy, and that while the defendant
excepted to and protested against the
jurisdiction of the court in appointing q
receiver, still she had made apology for
anything that might have been done or
said.
Mr.. Allen insisted upon the filing OF
the afidavits and the judge said he
would admit them in order that the is
sue might be clearly defined. The aHa-
davits went to show that the defen-
dant had knowledge Of the proceedings
that were had, that she had sought ia
obtain books and cash from the cash
drawer after the papers in the receiver.
ship had been served upon her, that
she had stated that she had consulted
her attorney and that she knew what
she was doing, and that she had in
other ways interfered with the carrying
out Of the order of the court.
Mr.. Miller then argued against the
serious consideration of the matter un.
der the circumstances, stated that the
defendant was a women with no practi.
} cal knowledge of law, and should not be

by district attorney Fred B. Morrill, of
Fargo as attorney of the state. The ap-
peal is form the sentence imposed upon
Crum by Judge Pollock of the district
court of fine and imprisonment for con-
tempt of court. There are two appeals in
the Crum cases filed for argument in the
court, one from the sentence of the
court for contempt and the other from
the decision of the court disbarring him
from practice. The first of these was
the one argued this morning. Great
interest is taken in the case by the Cass
county bar association. The case for
the defendant and appellant will be
argued next Monday by his attorneys.
The appeal from the %disbarment order
will also come up for hearing at that
time.

The Markuson Case.

Judge Amidon at Fargo Thursday
handed down a decision in the now
noted Markuson case, which afiirms the
action of the district court and is in
line with the decision of the supreme
court of the state. Markuson was
sentenced by Judge Glaspell to a year
in the state penitentiary from Valley
City for violating an injunctional order
in running a. blind pig. The supreme
court held that Markuson must serve
his sentence, and a writ of habeas
corpus was then sued out in United
States court and Markuson was released
from the penitentiary here and taken to
Fargo pending a decision of the case.
The judge said that the whole ques-
ton at issue in the case was whether
the state had the right under it's police
laws to declare a blind pig, or saloon a
common nuisance. If this was conceded
then all the other proceedings were
regular. OF course the police laws of
the state would not give the state the
right to declare a dry goods store a pub
lie nuisance, but could so declare in
cases of saloons on moral grounds, as
they were prolific of poverty and crime
and breaches of the peace, and could be
! regulated as we'll as a tannery or
slaughter house. If the court has the
power to grant an injunction it certainly
has the power to punish for contempt
of it's order. Such a thing as a jury trial
for contempt proceedings vas unknown
in legal practice from the earliest days
to the present time.
The claim Of the defendant that he
had been denied the equal protection of
the law on the ground that the state
statute declared that the punishment for
contempt was 500 fine and thirty days
in jail-in ordinary cases-but for con-
tempt in blind pig cases the punish
ment provided was much more severe
and empowered the court to send a
man to the penitentiary. Judge Ami
don held that there was no reason why
there should not be classification in con.
tempt as we'll as in assault and battery
cases, and that there was nothing in
the fourteenth amendment that would
conflict with such classification.
The court stated that there was abso.
lute]y nothing new in the case-nothing
that had not been passed upon time and
again by the supreme court of the
United States. The practice in this
case vas regular and according to prin
ciples more than a hundred years old
and it followed, therefore, that the ap
plication for the writ of habeas corpus
must be denied and the prisoner re.
manded to the custody of the warden
of the state ~penitentiary, until the tern
of his sentence should have expired.
Attorney O'Brien who represents
Markuson made the point after the de.
cision that Markuson had demanded a
jury trial and had been refused and tina,
this point had never been passed upon
by the supreme court of the United
States. He said an appeal would be
taken to that court and asked that
Markuson be admitted to bail pending
that appeal. Judge Amidon granted
the motion and fixed the bail at 81,

windows. The commander of the fort
evacuated and sought the peaceful
shades of Sheldon, where he spent sew
eral hours. On returning to the scene
of hostilities he found Sheriff Lamb in
waiting, but before discovered by that
officer, he had received a tip and board
ing a freight train, disappeared into the
misty east. The reformers celebrated
the victory by having a little scrap
among themselves, and all is now serene
at Enderlin.
Commissioner Newton who has just
visited the deaf and dumb institute at
Devils Lake, tells the Fargo Forum that
there are o fifty pupils in the place
and they are very much crowded for
room. The original building was IN
tended for only forty and is not yet com
pleted, SO the ten extra in a part of the
room makes it rather bad. Mr.. Newton
speaks in the highest terms of Superin-
tendent Bangs, whose management has
resulted so successfully. In addition to
the fifty pupils there are about fifteen
more mutes in the state within the
school age.
With this issue The Argus passes
from the control of The Record Publish
ing Co. to A. B. Mcdonald and j.. j.
Jordan. Finding that his business in.
terests in Cando and vicinity occupy
more of his time and attention than ex-
pected, Mr.. Mcdonald has disposed Of
his interest in The Record and becomes
the owner and manager of The Argus,
thereby enabling him to devote more
time and attention to the upbuilding of
The Argus and the enlarging of its field
of usefulness as a newspaper and ex
ponent of the principles of the repub-
lican party. j.. j. Jordan retains an in
terest with MIR. Mcdonald in The Argus
and will continue as managing editor

The immigration boom is bringing
some plucky girls to the state. A spec
ial from Fort Dodge, Iowa, says: Miss
Anna Gilday, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. w. Gilday, of this city, has departed
for North Dakota, where she intends to
locate a l60 acre tract of government
! land situated twelve miles from Devils
Lake. This young woman has definite
plans and furnishes a splendid example
OF American pluck After filing a claim
for the land mentioned she will remain
for five months with relatives IN Devilt
Lake. At the end of that time she will
build a small house on her land anc
make her home there for eight months
She will have the required number O
acres plowed and make such other i'm
provements as are required by thu
homestead laws and will live on thil
land until she receives a deed for tn,
same from the government. Miss Gil
day is prompted to this strange venture
by the success of her sister Susie, wht
preceded her, going to Devils Lake twt
years ago and remaining there eve
since. During her residence there sht
heard of a 100 acre tract of land thai
had been deserted by its original claim
ant. She accordingly built a house o,
the land and lived on it all alone eigh
months, as required by law, five mile
from town. At the end of that tim
she secured a deed for the land from tn
government and only last week sold i
for s1,400 in cash.
