MARKUsON PIG CASE.
United States Supreme Court
Refuses to Pass on q North
Dakota Law.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The
United States supreme court to-
day refused to pass on the consti-
tutionality of the North Dakota
prohibitory law, making con.
tempt of court punishable by i'm
prisonment on habeas corpus
proceedings. The opinion of the
court stated that it was contrary
to precedent to consider such
cases except under great ur.
gency. The case in question
was that of Norman Markuson,
who was sentenced under the
law and who asked to be released
under habeas corpus proceed
ings,
The case above referred to is
one of the most important ever
tried in the state under the pro-
hibitory. law. Markuson is a
resident of Valley City, and was
sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary by Judge Glaspell,
of Jamestown, on a second
charge of conducting a blind pig
establishment. The case was
appealed to the supreme court
and Judge Glaspell was affirmed.
G. D. O'Brien, of st. Paul, at.
torney for Markuson then took
case to the United States court
under 'habeas corpus proceed
ings, making point of the fact
that Markuson was not given a
jury trial when he should have
had one.
The case has-been watched
very closely by the legal fra
ternity of the state who expected
to have a decision from the high.
est court on which to base future
cases of similar character.
The refusal of the court to de-
eide the matter means that
Markuson who is now out on bail
will be required to serve his SEN
tence of one year in the peni-
tertiary.

Canadian Excursion at Hand.

Attention is again called to the
Canadian Excursion which the North
ern Pacific is offering the people in
this vicinity to enable them to visit
their homes and friends in eastern
Canada. Both the farmer and the
merchant have money this year and it
is expected therefore that there will be
a large movement to Eastern Canada
this season. The rate of $40. 90 for the
round trip is exceedingly low and
when you consider that it comes but
once year and that it enables you to
renew again your acquaintance with
familiar places and loved faces, it
does no require much consideration to
decide that the trip shall be made.

A $40 Rate to Eastern Canada.

For the cheap rate of $40 the North
ern Pacific will again sell the round
trip Canadian Excursion tickets to
eastern Canada. The people in this
section OF the country are
familiar with the accommodations
and train service which the Northern
Pacific always offers and this year the
road purposes to be more careful il
possible of the comfort OF its patrons
than ever. Liberal stopover privi-
leges and opportunity to have final
limit Of tickets extended upon payment
of a reasonable additional sum, will
be given.

BIG SCHEME.

Attorney Ledru Guthrie, of Grand
Forks, is authority for the statemen,
that stock company of New York
capitalists with ex-Mayor Geo. Nc.
Gowan, Of Trenton, N. J., as presi-
dent, has been organized with mil.
lion dollars capital for a starter. to
construct a canal from Duluth to
Grand Forks.
The charter has already been is.
sued and surveying party will ar.
rive in the city within few days to
commence work.
The company, it is said, figures on
taking advantage of the Red Lake
river, Lake Bemidii and Cass Lake,
thereby only having to dig about one
hundred miles ofnew bitches. The
promoters assert that when their
canal is completed they can deliver
North Dakota wheat in New York
City for about ten cents per bushel,
or to Duluth for about four cents.
The name of the company
is the Great Northern Canal and
Transportation company.
OF course the matter of crossing
the reservation and the proposed
national park territory. will have to
be settled by congress, but the COM
pany thinks there is no question but
what. with the aid of the Western
representatives, the scheme can be
carried through. Mr.. Guthrie as
sures us that there is plenty Of capital
behind the conpany.-East Grand

The statement is made that
Hon. M. N. Johnson is building
an elevator at Petersburg and
in addition to the care of his
farm will engage in the grain
business. Some of the papers
show extremely bad taste by
criticizing this new enterprise
of Mr.. Johnson's. Instead ol
shaking the dust of the state of
his feet when defeated, as SC
many North Dakota politicians
have done in the past, Mr.. John
son accepted the situation in a
philosophic manner and after his
duties at Washington were com,
pleted returned to his farm at
Petersburg, where, so far as the
public knows, he has conducted
himself like any other good citi.
zen ever since. He has been
laudably engaged in attending
to his own business and if his
critics should pursue the same
course probably no one would
take any exception. Times

In replying to a motion for ar
rest of Judgment in the John
Dwyer case Judge Glaspen said:
l take exceptions to the state
ment of the attorney in regard
to the sheriff in arresting this
defendant without a warrant; he
had perfect right to go in and ar
rest this man if he had sufficient
evidence that the law was being
broken; I commend him for his
efforts in this direction and if the
officers all over the state would
do as well as they do in Griggs
county there would be no need of
many such motions as this one :"
Judge Glaspell said a great deal
more along this line and said that
while he was not a prohlbitionist,
the people of North Dakota had
repeatedly decided that it was a
good law and that he should do
all in his power to see that the
law was upheld while he was on
the bench because it was the law
of his country; that any person
wilfully breaking this law should
come into court and take his
medicine. These sentiments of
the judge are along the right
line and should be endorsed by
every law abiding citizen in the
state. If. as the court suggests,
that every officer in the state
would attend to the enforcement
of the law there would be fewer
blindplgs and bootleggers in the
lcountry.
