Judge Winchester Grants the Injunc-

Commissioners.

At the hearing of the Storey lnjunc-
ton case at Steele Tuesday Judge Win
chester made permanent the injunction
asked for to restrain the commissioners
of Kidder county from entering into
contract with and paying a portion OF
taxes collected from the Northern Pacific
road to Attorney Fred Baker of Detroit,
Mich. The commissioners contracted
with Baker to act as counsel for the
county in the collection of the delinquent
taxes of the Northern Pacific. The
complaint of the plaintiffs in the injunc-
ton case alleged that the commissioners
had nc authority under the law to en-
ploy counsel. as done in this case. The
plaintiffs case was argued by Attorney
Walker and Assistant Attorney General
J.F. Philbrick, who interviewed on behalf
of the state. The defendants case was
presented by States Attorney Stanley
and in a brief from Attorney Baker.
Judge Winchester decided that the COM
missioners were without authority to
employ counsel as done, and granted the
injunction. The case will be appealed
to the supreme court.

INVITATIONS OF "uMEEDA" BISCUIT.
United States Circuit Court Grants
Injunction Against 'Iwanta"
Biscuit.

An injunction, which applies to all the
numerous limitations of "Uneeda" Bis
cult, has Just been granted by the United
States Circuit Court for the Southern
District of New York, against the use Of
the trademark "Iwanta" which was
applied to a biscuit which the Court
decided to be an Infringement upon the
trademark "Uneeda," the biscuit made
so widely known by newspaper adver.
Using.
In his opinion, Judge Lacombe re.
marks that the case is too plain to waste
many words oyer. That "Uneeda" as
applied to biscuit, is a proper trademark
and that complainant is entitled to it's
exclusive usein that connection, is hardly
disputed. That it has been most extern.
sively advertised, presumably at great
expense. is matter of common knowledge
The Court refused to accept the plea oi
the defendant that with the word
"Uneeda" before him, his device to avoid
confusion was the adoption of the word
"IWanta."
There are, as usual, a number of minor

dress of the two packages, but no one
can look at both packages without per.
ceiving that there are strong resemb.
lances which could easily have been
avoided had there been an honest effort
to give defendants goods a distinctive
dress.
The opinion closes with the comment
that "both name and dress are clearly
calculated to mislead. and the statements
that both are adopted with an eye single
to differentiation, strain the credulity Of
the Court beyond the breaking point"
Preliminary Injunction was granted
against the use OF the trade name
"1wanta" and of the present style Of
package. Also against all similar imita.
tions Of the "Uneeda" name and package

The Bathgate Pink Paper says of the
storm in Pembina county last week:
The estimate of tho damage in the CITY
is placed at something over $1,000. In
the country it was equally as bad and in
n place just west of town a shanty
with n man in it was blown over and
the man slightly injured. In St. Joseph
township nearly every house was un-
rooted and the little girl of j. Riendeau
was carried about a quarter Of a mile by
the wind and dropped in a wheat field
uninjured. w. Fleming, near Walhalla,
lost two valuable horses, killed by light
ming, and Mr.. Lepiere, near Neche lost
three horses and a COW from the same
cause. A good many families spent their
time in the cellar during the worst part
of it. A number of people claim that
their houses shook SO much that they
were thrown violently out of bed.
