relatives living at Dundee.

TRAMP DEALERS.
The Festive ,Peddler is Around Hgain With his
Wagon already this Spring.

On Monday a party of tanning mill
peddlers operating for a Detroit Mich,
concern struck town with an outfit con.
sisting of six wagons for the purpose of
making house to house canvas for trade
over the entire county. Their stay in
Milton was short ae G w plain, of the
Implement Co, pointed out to the au-
thorities their duty In premises. On the
local dealers here being apprised of the
situation they took similar steps and
notified the managers Of their concerns
at Hannah what steps to take in case of
their putting in an appearance at that
place. The following from the News
shows the manner IN which the citizens
of Park River took up the matter.
Before Justice T. X. Smith at the city
hall on Tuesday afternoon, Hugh Nc
Kinnon and several other statesmen re-
presenting the Famous Chatham Fan
ming Mill company of Detroit Michigan,
were charged with peddling without a
| license. The charge was made under the
law passed by the last legislature regulat-
ing peddling.
Robert MeMurohie, representing
States Attorney Myers, appeared for the
state. The defendants we're represented
by H. A. Libby of this city and Mr.. Rex,
of Rex & Templeton of Grand Forks.
The case of Hugh McKinnon was the
only one considered. After the usual
preliminarles and examination of the
complaint and warrant in the case Mr..
Libby raised the question of the iurisdic.
ton OF the court in the matter and OBJ
jected to further proceedings in the
case on the grounds that the complaint
and warrant were fatally defective and
quoted four points to sustain his objec-
tion, and upon the grounds made he
moved the dismissal of the action and
discharge of the defendant
After perusal of the papers, Mr.. Nc
! Murchie asked the justice to grant q re-
cess of one hour in order to give him time
to phone Mr.. Myers and obtain his
instructions. Questions had arisen on
which he was not prepared to act with
| out consulting Mr.. Myers.
The case was finally compromised, the
| defendants to pay the justice fees and a
stipulation was made that they discon-
| tinue the sale of their goods in Walsh
! county. The complainant paid all other
costs so that none will fall on the county.
The reason for this action being taken
was that the question the constitution
ality of the new law, under which the de-
PENDANTS were charged has been raised
and a test case has already been begun
in Grand Forks county and it was useless
to cause the same expense to Walsh
county The complaint in each case was
the same and the warrants were the same
so that the objection, raised by the at
torneys for the defense applied to all and
all cases we're dismissed and all defend
ants discharged There were large
number OF citizens and farmers present
to watch the proceedings.
The flaming mill men left Park River
for more congenial cline on Wednesday
morning, but they will be difficult to
| find, as authorities in adjournlng counties
are on the lookout and similar proceed
ings against the defendant are likely to
be instituted in Pembina or Cavalier
counties if they should venture there.

ATTORNEY Geo. E. O'Connor,

North, of Rhinelander, was bad
ly shaken up and bruised by the
action of a vicious horse the first
of the week while on his way
from his office to the 500 depot.
In company with a gentleman
friend he was covering the dis
lance in a rig when the horse be-
came unmanageable and it's fran
tic gyrations overthrow the rig
and it's occupants, the conse-
quent injury to Mr.. O'Connor
being such as to confne him to
his room, though no permanent
disability will result.
Everything indicates that
the lumber cut throughout the
pineries of Wisconsin, Michigan
and Minnesota will be much
short of last season. This is not
due so much to the fact that it
has been hard to secure men, as
to what now appears to be an
early break up. The recent cold
weather was hard on men and
teams, and while the men were
able to work to advantage,
teams were not able to draw the
usual sized loads, and as a CON
sequence many logs may be left
on the sideways. Therehas been
a brisk demand for lumber at
good prices, and the signs are
promising for a strong advance.
