d. Hansz, farmer and gardener, has

sirups. From 1S melons, weighing

two gallons and one pint of sirup. We
cut the melons in halves, cut out the

pressed out the juice. We boiled the
juice In porcelain kettles on the kitch-

mill and hot air or steam evaporator,
two men can make 25 to 80 gallons Of

would take about 270 melons to make
80 gallons of sirup, worth SIS. The
melons would be worth at wholesale

District court opened Monday after
noon with Judge Fisk of Grand Forks,
on the bench to hear the testimony in
the injunctlonal cases that have been
pending against Langdon's three drug
stores since July Z, 1885, The evidence
and testimony offered took up two whole
days of the courts time and was listened
to by a fair sized audience, composed
principally of ladies'. Judge Templeton
appeared for the defendants in all three
cases. The complaint, laid on the
allegations of Edward Gleason, the
league spotter, claiming violation of the
prohlbitory law by all three drug stores,
was handled by j. H. Bosard, of Grand
Forks. A whole day was taken up in
disposing of the McGruer case, followed
by the Donovan and ALERT & Co., cases
IN the order named. The law allows
the attorneys thirty days to present their
findings and argument and another
month will have passed by before the
court hands down it's decision. Both
time and money have been spent Oh both
sides and perhaps by July Z, 1900, the
public may know whether or not Ed
Gleason, the spotter, perjured himself
when he claimed to have purchased
liquor at the Langdon drug stores
without having signed the oath of an
applicant. There are people in Langdon
who firmly believe he did.
