PLAYED PART
Of SOLOMON
Judge Amber Disposes Of a Disagree
able Lawsuit in a Novel
Manner.
Was ARBITER OF AN old DISPUTE.

Judge Amber was arbiter and peace
maker in the case Of Daniel Leib vs..
Sherman Hildenbrand, which was
placed upon trial In court room No. 2.
Thursday. This was an action growing
out Of dispute over roadway which
had been acquired by Leib when he
bought his land. The plaintiff claimed
that IIildenbrand was destroying or
infringing upon the roadway. The orig
inal grant was for driveway "a feet
wide.
Much bad blood had been engen-
dered, arrests were made upon tho
charges of assault and battery, and
finally an injunction was taken out
by I.eih restraining the defendant from
plowig too close to the road or In
any way interfering with 1t.
When the case came on for hearing
Judge Amber discovered that there
was no dispute as to the original
grant, the facts or even as to the law.
He suggested that the parties get to-
gether and settle. After struggling for
q couple of hours In a fruitless enc
deavor to decide upon q compromise.
the lawyers, Messrs. Upham and POM
crime, asked Judge Amber to go with
them to the premises and look the
ground over, and whatever he said
ought to- be done both parties would
abide by.7h
Such a thing could not be done in
an official capacity, but Judge Am
bier consented. He went to the farm.
which is In Lake township. and after
looking the sntuation over suggested
chat the driveway be fixed at width
of II feet and that It be surveyed aud
the boundaries agreed upon. Next.
the roadway should be divided into
equal parts and each farmer agree to
improve and keep in repair his end.
The road was in poor condition and
low, and the Judge suggested that for
the good of both. 1t should be graz
eled, and 1t was agreed that each
should haul gravel enough to cover his
part inches deep. The agreement
was drawn up and signed and tho
feud is ended.
QUICKLY DISPOSED OF.

against Ada Seiber was placed on trail

The In ternatiOnal Harvester Co
have opened Offices in the LIE
Sueur blockin this city. The
fact was made known exclus-
lively in this paper some weeks
ago. The company is represent
ed here by Mr.. r. p. Mulick and
five or six travelling men will
make this their headquarters.
Five stenographers are necessary
to carry on the business. The
present location is entirely too
small for the business, but
will be utilized as we'll as posi-
bic until an entire office suit can

C. H. Laufman, the division
manager from Chicago is here
getting things settled. The traa
yelling men are receiving their
instructions. The stenographers
are as busy as bees sending let
ters over the entire northwest
lgetting things lined up for next
season. In a day or two tho
men will be sent out from this
place in all directions. Their
territory will reach over into
Montana.
The coming Of this company to
Minot means much. This will
be thegreat Northwestern center
for the five big harvester cor a.
panies, the McCormick, the Cham
pion, the Plano, the Milwaukee
and the Deering. A full line. OF
repairs will be kept in this city
for the above named machines.
During the harvest season. far
mers may come here for repairs
instead of waiting two or three
days or a week until such may
arrive from the twin cities.
In conversation with Mr.. Lauf-
man, we were informed, that very
likely in the spring, che company
would put up fine new building
for Offices and for the storage of
machinery and repairs. From a
dozen to twenty people will be
employed by the company in
this city right along. Several
families will move here. The en-
ployes are all OF a very desirable
class and we welcome them as
well as the harvester company
to this city.
