LAND CASES.

ASSISTANT U. S. ATTORNEY AL
LEN AT DEVILS LAKE ON AN
INVESTIGATION.
largo Forum: Assistant United
States Attorney Allen came down from
Bismarck on the belated train from
the coast this afternoon. He said he
did not know of a thing to report from
the capital city, only that the legislat-
ors will discover "a thorough transfer
nation in the matter of hotel accom-
modations which is to supersede that
found in We olden times in the Sheri-
dan house, all traces of which have al
most entirely disappeared. Mr.. Allen
says he is on his way to Devils Lake
to take testimony before Special Ex-
anliner E. G.. Taylor, in a number of
equity cases, to cancel timber culture
entry patents, where proofs have been
found to be fraudulent. These cases
have developed out OF Investigations
made by Colonel Lounsberry, the in
spector for this district for the gen.
eral United States land office at Wash
ington. Mr.. Allen expects to be away
a week or ten days.

DISMEMBER CHINA,
High Official of the State Department
Says That Seems the Object of the
Powers.
Demands Made Upon the Emperor that
He Can not Comply With if
He Will.
Result Will Be That He Will b
Forced to Join In Fighting the
Allies

Washington, Nov. 23.-Things are
going to wreck and ruin in China, said
high official at the state department
this morning. 1t looks as though the
ENJOYS are purposely trying to force
China to fight SO an opportunity would
be afforded to divide the empire.
The demands being made are such
that China cannot comply no matter
how willing. The emperor is in the
hands of General Tung Tuh Slang and
Prince Tuan and any step he might
take to comply with the foreigners
demands would cause his death. Gen.
Tung has an army of several thousand
and the question is how can the en-
peror decapitate such a man. Unless
moderate councils prevail the emperor
will be compelled to join the princes
and fight the allied powers. That
would mean tho rising of the whole
OF China and a bloody war The
United States will use every power to
prevent this elimination.

the committee could get stipulation
from the attorneys of the Pioneer
company he would pay the money, but
he could not under any circum-
stances do so in view of the super
sedeas unless the other side so stipu-
lated.
The men saw the point and at once
started for the Office of Metson &
knight, the attorneys for the COM
pany. They made their demands in
no uncertain language and it did not
take the Pioneer company officials
long to make up their minds. They
agreed at once. G. D. Lane went over

PECULIAR CASE.

Grand Forks Herald: A peculiar
criminal case has just been finished
before Judge Fisk and jury at La
kOta. The action is that of the state
of North Dakota against William N.
Howser and Miss Lizzie Anthony,
charged with entering into and carry
ing out a criminal conspiracy to ruin
the reputation of a young man named
Fred Grant living in Nelson county, by
falsely procuring him to be charged
with bastardy. The facts as they de-
velOped at the trial are unique. In
the fail of 1899 a country girl named
Hyde living in the same neighborhood
with the principals in the case, was
induced to charge young Grant with
being the father of her unborn child.
The parties sought out States Attorney
q. N. Erich at Lakota and applied for
warrant against Grant Being sus-
picious Mr.. FATch withheld his assist
ance, with the result that a trip was
made TO DEVILS Lake by Howser and
the Hydes, where the services of B. T.
Townsend were secured and the bas-
tardy case at once commenced. At
that time the child was born and it
proved to be a mulatto. 1t lived but
few days and the parents of young
Grant, learning of the connection Of
Howser and Miss Anthony with the
prosecution of their son, at once made
complaint against them for criminal
conspiracy. This is the action that
has just been concluded, and it resulted
in verdict of guilty, as charged. At
rne trial the Hyde girl testified that
her seducer was darky known as
Negro Bill" who worked about the
neighborhoou during seeding time in
1899, and that the two defendants, by
constant coaxing, induced her to make
complaint against young Grant,
though she told them who the real au-
thor of her. trouble was. The case
was prosecuted by States Attorney C.
N. Erich and George D. Kelly, and the
defense was conducted by =. D. Town
send. The case attracted wide inter-
est, as all of the parties are prominent.
The defendant will move for a new
trial. and if L4lat is denied, will go to
Cne supreme court.

NAUGHTY.

MRS. HAAS OF FARGO IN COURT
ON CHARGE OF KEEPING DIS
REPUTABLE PLACE-ON FRONT
STREET IN FARGO.
Forum: Mrs. Josephine Haas, who
conducts the Merchants hotel on
Lower Front street, was arraigned in
the district court this morning on the
charge of conducting a house of ill
fame.
Half of the forenoon was taken up
in securing a jury. The first witness
called was E. S. Davis, of Grand
Forks, who is employed by the en-
forcement league. He told story
of visiting the Merchants during the
fire festival last June. He thought
that there were from nine to eleven
girls in the house and he was sure .nat
they were there for immoral purposes.
States Attorney Morrill, asked him
the date of his last visit to the Mer-
chants, and Davis replied that it was
on Nov. i last. w. H. Barnett, the
attorney for Mrs. Haas objected to the
admission of any testimony that would
show what kind of a place was being
run since the time of the arrest and
preliminary examination of Mrs.
Haas, which was on June 8. This
point was argued at some length and
at noon the jury was excused until 9
o'clock and Judge Pollock announced
that he would make a ruling on the
point in question at that time.
T. S. Brown, also of Grand Forks,
and an employe of the enforcement
league, is another leading witness for
the prosecution. In addition to these
two number of local people are
summoned to testify as to the char
acter of the place.

OUTPUT INCREASING.
MORE COAL BEING TAKEN FROM

CH1NERY WORKING WELL.
Wilton News: The output at the.
coal mine is steadily increasing. -Four
and five carloads day are now
shipped. There have been placed in
the mine the past week about forty
electric lights, and more will be added
as required. This enables the miners
to work to better advantage than for
meray and as a consequence the out
put will increase daily. AS the rooms
are being opened up more miners can
be employed advantageously and the
hoisting engine has not experienced
any difficulty in taking care Of all the
coal mined hitherto, in fact the supply
can be more than doubled and still
the engine will not be nohceably taxed.
Everything about the mine is gradu-
ally adjusting itself, and an air Of COM
fort Is apparent which will have a ten
dency to procure more favorable results
as the work progresses. The rather
sharp weather Of the past few days
has greatly increased the demand.

KRUGER RECEIVED.
President Kruger Of the Transvaal Ar.
rives at Marseilles and is Cor
daily Received.
Speech to the Assembled Spectators in
which He Tells Of Transvaal
Struggles
Says His People Engaged in a Barbar
Gus War with Nation Of
Barbarians

Marseilles, Nov. 22.--At 1O:45 this
morning Kruger landed from the
cruiser Gelderland and received a vc-
ciferous ovation. After handshaking
at the quay the police made path to
the carriages and the procession
started for the hotel. The Boer pres
ident occupied a leading carriage and
was cheered wildly along the route.
Once upon land President Kruger
made a speech thanking the French
government for it's sympathy with the
Transvaal government and cordial re-
ception. The remark was generally
cheered but there was some ironical
laughter at the reference to the
French governments reception"
which caused temporary disturbance.
Proceeding, Kruger said: "Since JAM
ison endeavored to conquer our coun-
try without making a fight terrible
war has been thrust upon us notwitn-
standing our reiterated claim for ar
bitration which has been refused by
England. The war is a barbarous one
and we have been fighting a barbar-
GUS nation"
Kruger then thanked the committee
for it's good wishes and the people of
Marseilles for their hearty reception.
He expressed himself as profoundly
touched by the welcome in France
which was the home of liberty. Re-
ferring again to the Transvaal, Kruger
said their farms were being burned,
their wives hunted from their homes
while their husbands were fighting on
the battlefield, but whatever was done
the Beers would resist to the bitter
end. Messrs. Leyds, Grobler and
Fischer stood behind Kruger while
the speech was delivered.
Kruger spoke in Dutch, Won Hum
mer interpreting. After reaching his
hotel, Kruger appeared for a moment
on the balcony in sight of the crowd
who continued cheering long after he
had disappeared.

which is self-explanatory. The news
paper boys will be welcome in Bis

To the Editor Grand Forks Herald:
l have read Editor De la Bere's sug-
gestion for an editorial society meet
ing at Bismarck this winter, and. as
a member of the executive committee
heartily second the motion" l un-
derstand it has been decided to call a
meeting at Grand Forks for Friday,
the Seth, to make arrangements for
such excursion. President Kent, with
Characteristic generosity, has kindly
invited the committee to be his guests
while at the Forks, and a pleasant
time, OF course, awaits the members.
There are many reasons why gath
ering of the editors at the capital dur
ing the legislative session would be
profitable to them. While there is no
special legislation desired or any pros
pect of adverse action by the solms,
1t will enable the publishers, many Of
whom have never been at the capital,
to become personally acquainted with
the state officers, familiarize them
selves with the manner Of conducting
the public offices and give them an in
sight to legislative manipulation and
procedure. Mayor Patterson and Ed
Allen assure me Bismarck has re-
formed, that all past Cracks by the
newspapers are forgiven and that the
press gang will be heartily welcome.
