DGEPOLLOCK CRITICISES
COMMISSION COMPANY.

LII Tile QlSUr1CC court aU rdISO
Wednesday jury found a YER
dict for the defendant in the case
of the Beidler & Robinson Lum-
ber Company against the Coe
Commission company. The act
ion was brought to recover So,
which the agent of the
lumber company lost in stock
with 1.-The commits
sion firms agent at Casselton.
The plaintiff argued a motion
before Judge Pollock yesterday,
asking that the plaintiff be given
judgement for the amount nam.
ed, Notwithstanding the verdict
of the jury.
The court in deciding the
matter concluded that he ought
to grant the motion and did so
accordingly, thus entering judg-
ment in favor of the plaintiff, the
Beidler & Robinson Co., and
against the Coe Commission Co.
for the sum of $8,620.47. A stay
of proceedings, including the en-
try of judgement was had for'the
period of 80 days The case will
doubtless be appealed to the
supreme court, and that court
will have an opportunity to pass
upon transactions of the nature
disclosed in the evidence in this
case which are alleged to have
been gambling transactions.
The court stated that the re-
cord in the present case disclos-
ed the fact that this house had
done business in the city of
Casselton for the period of two
years, and that during that en-
tire time there was not even a
single transaction which was not
settled by the payment Of the
difference between the market
value OF the article bought and
sold, and that no delivery thereof
was had, and he decided thai
from this fact the intention OF
the parties to the transaction
must be determined, and the
further fact that they had print
ed upon their account Of sales ;
| notice to the purchasers that tho
transactions contemplated an &C
tual delivery Of the property
while the same could be admitted
in evidence, was not conclusive
upon the intention Of the parties
That the court had Il right t.
strip off the language of the par
ties used during the time of tn
trading, go down beneath this
and determine from their act
what their intentions were, an
he said that while he would no
suggest or intimate what t
general nature of the Lusi. ess Q
this house might be in othe
places, he was without doubt a
to it's real nature in the city {
Casselton, namely, that it wa
simply the carrying on Of gan
} bling institution, and that th
property in question having bee
thus received was unlawfully II
ceceived, and ought to be an
must be returned. The recor
further discloses that Beidler
Rabinson, the plaintiff, wei
innocent parties in the matte
had no knowledge that their pr
perty and money were bein
used in this manner and accort
ingly had the undisputed rigf
in law to have returned to thel
the money and property thus III
! lawfully taken from them an
; paid to the Coe Commission O.
in these unlawful transactions.

Many peculiar features arise in
connection with assessments, and
county auditors are obliged to look
out for them at all times The as
SCISSOR at Westline assessed the
stock of the State Bank of Milroy up
to the stockholders, in addition to
assessing it against the bank, max
ing a double taxation, which was
remedied by change made by Au-
ditor Tompkins. The assessors of
Willow Lake and Three Lakes town
ships assessed the capital stock of
the banks at Wanda and Clements
at the full value, although a so per
cent valuation had been agreed
upon by assessors generally on
bank stock. These errors have
also been corrected by the auditor.
The bank buildings and lots OF these
three banks have all been assessed
at a pretty high rate, and the coun-
ty board of equalization may be
called upon to change the valua-
tons.

THE PARROTS RESOLUTION

The Wise Bird Determined to Be
Good at New Years.
The parrot had been listening to the
talk about good resolutions, for every
body had been making some for the
new year. Now, parrots always try to
initiate people, so he made one too.
That is what he was thinking of as
be smoothed back his beak with his
claw.
81 won't scream or say any ugly
Words he said to himself. Il will say
only nice, funny things. Then they
won't threaten to send me away"
So all New Years day and part of
the next he kept saying Happy New
Yearv' "Glad to see you'll" Polly
wants a crackerv Get up, horsy!'
and tried to say "'Twas the night be-
fore Christmas" which he had been
taught, for, of course, he couldn't know
that it really was week after Christ
mas. The children were good, too, for
they made a resolution not to quarrel
and everything was pleasant in the
nursery, where the parrots cage was
hung.
But the next day Harry leased Kitty
by taking away her playthings. kitty
was cross and said: stop! You're hOr-
ridv' w
Then Harry pulled away her new
picture book and sat on it.
''I'll tell mamma" she said. ''Ma-ar-
mar" she roared, make Harry stop!"
"Telltale!' said Harry. Then Kitty
slapped him so that it hurt, and both
began to cry.
The parrot listened in surprise. Then,
seeing that they had broken their reso-
luton, he thought he must do the same
for parrots can only initiate people. So
he began to cry out: stop! Horrid
thing! Boo-ho-Oo! Ma-ar-marr'
Whats all this?" said mamma, COM
ing in. 81 thought you promised not to
quarrel"
The children were much ashamed.
They stopped crying and made up with
each other.
But the parrot kept ON screaming
"Horrid! Stop! Boo-hoo! Mar-mar! Hor-
rid! Stop. Boo-hoo! Mar-marv' till
everybody was tired of hearing him.
