1t is currently reported that number
of those who favored the candidacy OF
Peter Reid for the treasurership IN the
convention OF last week are walking
around in their socks. The devotees of

The Grand Forks Herald in its column
OF dramatic news a week ago said: The
Sutton company appeared at the Metro
polltan last night in Texas a sensa-
tional melodrama. 1t is full OF thrilling
adventures and deals with life on the
Mexican border. The house was good

At the opening OF the term of the state
supreme court held in Grand Forks a
week ago Attorney Bangs addressed the
court in connection with the motion for
a new trial in the Barry murder case, the
defendant in which is now confined in the
state penitentiary. Mr. Bangs stated
that ineemuch as Mr. Cochrane, who had
assisted the state in the prosecution,
would be on the supreme bench OF the
state after the December term, he desired
the court to place the case on the calen-
dar, and set date for the arguments.
While this would be an unusual proceed
ing, Mr.. Bangs believed the circumstan.
ces warranted such action by the court,
and the request was granted, October u
being the date set for the beginning of
the arguments. The testimony in the
case covers over 800 typewriter pages,
which makes the work of preparing the
appeal an immense task.-Grand Forks
