proprietor of the Waldorf Hotel at
Fargo in an action brought by the
states attorney to abate alleged nui-
sances. The action is civil che and
pending final hearing in The case
Judge Pollock of the district court
has granted q temporary injunction
restraining both the Waldorf Hotel
and the Waldorf Pharmacy from dis
pensing liquor in any manner con-
trary to law. The action is based on
the affidavit of one II. III. Morris, a
retired lawyer and detective, who in
an extended affidavit and complaint
sets forth that the parties to the ac-
ton have been guilty of gross infrac-
tions of the prohibitory law. He al
leges that the Waldorf Pharmacy has
dispensed liquor to divers PARTIES
whose names are given-without their
compliance with the regulations of
the statute governing the rights Of
druggists to sell Intoxicating liquors.
He makes oath that he has himself
purchased liquor in the place and
gives the names of persons who have
drank with him.
Burned to Death.
The stable of Frederic Fransky, 20
miles east of Emerson, was burned.
When the father got to the stable it
was in flames. His eldest girl had
first gotten out not much burned. A
second daughter aged five was also
out, but boy two years and a half
was in the stable behind a buggy
screaming, Papa, help, it is awful
hot" The father rushed in, seized the
child by garment bit it gave way
and the father was forced to retreat.
A second time he tried with the same
result; the third time he got hold of
the boy and brought him out. He
rushed to some water with the boy,
and turned to find the youngest girl
in flames from her clothing which
had caught in the stable and was
famed by the wind. Both the young
err children died. The oldest girl was
quite severely burned and was too
frightened to help the others. The
mother was away from home.
state Convention.
There was a full representation of
the republican state central commit
tee in Fargo, the occasion of the
meeting to fix the date of holding the
next republican state convention and
the fixing of the apportionment to
said convention. There was an effort
on the part of considerable num-
Der to carry out the resolution of the
committee which was adopted last
August, which provided for the bas-
ing of representation on the lowest
vote on the state ticket, but it was
decided otherwise and the basis of
representation was made on the high
est and lowest votes on the state
ticket. The fight for the carrying out
of the resolution as adopted last year
was led by Bob Wallace. The appor-
tionment, as finally decided upon,
gives total strength in the state
convention of 744. This will give Cass
county 6S delegates, Grand Forks will
be next with AZ.
The convention will be held in Far
go July %.

FARMING MATTERS.
German Live stock Exclusion.

Recently Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson was invited to attend the con-
vention of the National Live Stock
Association to be held in Kansas City,
January 18th to 18th, and with the in-
vitation was sent a copy Of the res
olutions adopted by the association
relative to German exclusion of Amer
ican meats, reciprocity arrangements
with Canada for landing store cattle,
government encouragement for horse
breeders and other subjects of inter
est to stockmen. In his reply, Sec
retary Wilson said:
with regard to the calling upon
Germany to remove the stigma placed
upon our live stock, have been at
work operating through our depart
ment of state and our minister to Ger
many to have this done ever since Il
have been here, and as regards Ger
many's knowledge of the real state
of affairs there has been a German
agricultural attache at the embassy
here for the last FIVE years, who is
thoroughly informed and has thor
oughly informed his government along,
these lines. Should the Canadians
succeed in securing the privilege Of
landing store cattle, we will use every
effort to obtain a like privilege for
u.s."

AMENDMENTS ARE SUGGESTED
TO STATE ARBITRATION LAW

! features Of the Indiana and the Illinois
statutes. 1t proposes that the agGrieved
party to the agreement may compel the
other party, through the Circuit or the
County Court, to show cause why hc
has failed to keep the agreement and In
order to compel compliance with the
agreement the court may punish the
faith-breaker for contempt by fine or
lin cases of willful and contumacious
disobedience" by Imprisonment.
No direct suggestion of compulsory
arbitration is made, but the amend
ments, If adopted, would leave un-
changed the provisions of the present
law that wherever strike or lockout
is threatened anywhere in Colorado 1t
shall be the duty of the board ito in
quire into the causes of the contro-
versy," subpoena witnesses and so
forth. This section the attorney gen.
eral accounted nullified by conflicting
provisions, which are amended.
The value OF compelling testimony.
the report sets forth, is that it will aid
in clearing away misunderstanding
in making, for instance, an employe
see by indisputable proof that his en-
ployer cannot grant an advance,
whereas he might not take his en-
ployer's unsupported word. It's value
in creating public opinion, which is
recognized as an influential factor in
bringing about the settlement of diff
culties. is mentioned also. 1t tends al
so toward compulsory arbitration IN
making effective, inquiries begun at
the request of only one party to dis
pute.
The boards final recommendation is
that the salaries of the three members
of the board, which now total $1,000
a year. be increased, if its powers are
increased, so as to make it possible for
competent persons to devote their
whole time to the work.

upon to settle, including much of the
correspondence connected with them.

BOYCOTT HELD
TO BE ILLEGAL

Denver, Dec 16.-A News special
from Telluride yesterday says:
Judge Theron Stevens this morning
decided against the Miners Union in
the Glazier boycott case. argued before
him few months ago. The union had
boycotted the restaurant conducted by
James Glazier because he was patron
izing the Telluride Journal. upon which
a boycott had previously been placed.
The union placed pickets at the res
.taurant, whose duty It was to inform
patrons Of the place that 1t had been
boycotted.
Glazler applied to County Judge
Wardlaw for an injunction restraining
the union from having pickets at the
restaurant. claiming that they greatly
interfered with his business. The in
junction was granted and the union did
not send representatives to make any
defense. Nearly three months ago John
Murphy. attorney for the union. argued
before Judge Stevens for dissolution
OF the Injunction Il. c. Howe and H.
M. Hogg argued for Glazier and the
matter was taken under advisement.
The substance OF the decision OF the
court is contained In the following par
agraphs:
"Unquestionably the defendants have
the right to withhold their patronage
from any person or association. wheth-
er they are unfriendly or otherwise. and
they may agree among themselves to
do SO. even though such action should
result In the entire destruction Of the
business Of such person or association.
"In this case. however. II may be in
ferred from the pleadings that plckets
were placed In close proximity to the
business place Of the plsintiR for the
