SUPREME COURT.
Some Cases to be Tried at the First
Session at Grand Forks.

On Tuesday. Sept. 10, the North
Dakota supreme court will meet in
Grand Forks for the first time since
1895. Prior to that time the supreme
court met alternately in Bismarck,
Fargo and Grand Forks. The code
of 1895, which took effect in 1896, pro-
vided for sessions of the supreme court
ut Bismarck only. A movement was
begun last winter for Il change, and
a bill was enacted providing that. in
addition to the sessions at Bismarck,
other sessions of the court should be
held at stated periods in Grand Forks
and Fargo. The first of these was
held in Fargo last spring. and the first
to be held in Grand Forks begins on
the 10Th inst. A number Of important
cases are to be tried, some Of them
involving the constitutionality of state
laws affecting vast property interests.
\ case which has become very fam
liar to the reading public is the Cam
cron case in which Board & Board
seek to recover from the Great North
ern Railway company damages for
their client, Mrs. Esther Cameron for
the loss of her husbands life. In
1886 Il jury awarded the plaintiff about
$4,000 damages. Judge Templeton
granted Il new trial. Judge Glaspell
took the case from the jury and was
reversed on appeal, and Judge Lauder,
before whom the case was tried a few
months ago, also directed a verdict
for the defendant. The supreme
court will nov pass upon an appeal
from this RECESSION.
\ case of considerable Importance,
which involves the status of iudr-
ments secured prior to the going into
effect Of the law of 1896. Prior to that
time judgments in North Dakota ran
for 20 years. The new law prescribed
10 years as the life of a Judgment. The
question is whether or not judgments
secured prior to that time are affected
by the new law and in what way. Ac-
ton was brought in the district court
by Bangs & Guthrie on behalf Of a
client on 4 Judgment secured in 1883.
lie Judgment was of course more
than ten years old when the new law
took effect. and Cochrane 4 Corliss,
for the defendant. contend that NO
action having been begun under the
Judgment prior to that time. plaintiffs
are forever debarrcd. Judge Fisk
held with the plaintiffs. this being the
I case in which he was jocularly stated
to have reversed the supreme court
\ case of similar nature, but differing
from this in some particulars, was
the case Of the Merchants National
Bank Of Bismarck VS.. Braithwaite
In that case the supreme court ruled
3 that the bank could not recover. 4
little popularity about the case is the
f. fact that Hon. Guy G. II. Corliss

The finance committee does not feel
justified in taking the responsibility of
diverting the funds from the purpose
for which they are raised. Each pur-
chaser of a badge will, therefore, be
called upon to express his desire, and
two funds will be raised-one for home

TOWN OF NORTIIWOOD DE-
STROYEn

Every business place in the town of
Northwood,. in Grand Forks county,
twelve miles south of Larimore on the
Breckenridge line of the Great North
ern was destroyed by fire Tuesday
afternoon.
The fire started in the National ho-
tel between 3 and 4 O'Clock. A cham
bermaid was engaged in cleaning
some bedsteads with gasoline and in
some uneXplainable manner nm ex-
plosion occurred. The flames were
almost instantly beyond control as
far as that building was concerned,
and the efforts Of the firemen and the
hundreds Of willing workers were
directed towards the saving of the
adjoining buildings. The fire de-
partment was crippled on account of
insufficient paraphernalia. and it was
soon evident that the best portion of
the town was doomed. Help was
asked from the adjoining towns and
a special train carried the fire depart
ments Of Larimore, Mayville and Hat
ton to the scene. The men worked
valiantly, but the fire had a big start.
and flames leaped from one business
block to another at such a rapid rate
that efforts of the tiremen seemed
almost futile. The fire was not
placed under control until 6 O'Clock,
when it was found that fifty business
houses had been destroyed and a
loss Of owe 100000 sustained by the
residents Of the village.

travellers for the eastern part Of the
State found a most tempting dinner
spread before them.
There was an understanding that the
guests should have all the time they
wished for eating their dinner. They
fell to with a will but before the third
course had been served the conductor,
not having been notified that the train
should remain over, announced that
the train was about to start, and the
rest 81 the dinner remained untouched
on the table.

capacity for one year, and Mcssrs. Smith

a good example Of how the people are
puncoed by many peddlers was shown
recently in one of the Watervile clothing
stores. "A peddler had taken a suit of
clothes out of the store to sell if he could
and when it was brought back it was
marked $3.50 higher than the usual price
charged for that class Of goods by the
hrm from which he had taken it. Even
at the price at which the suit is usually
sold the firm was not by any means the
loser.
