The Flickertail Flicker, a freakish
newspaper published at Goodrich,
in the east end of Mclean county,
publishes an open letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in which he is urged
to do something to have final proof
notices published in the Flicker,
to the damage of the newspapers
that now get them. This open let
ter recites the fact that Registers
McGillivray and Jewell have not
been in the habit of sending notices
to the Flicker, and the letter insists
that certain notices should go in
the paper nearest the land" Con-
sidering that there is a paper called
the Citizen at Goodrich, which is
as near any land as the Flicker, it is
hard for an outsider to see wherein
there is any violation Of the land
Office rules. The Pioneer, believ-
ing in the present national admin
istration as it does, and still not be-
ing required to be an apologist for
the Bismarck land Office, congratu-
lates the Bismarck officials on their
acton. Any paper possessing such
an outlandish, freakish, foolish
name as the Flicketail Flicker is
entitled to no legal business of any
sort that is controlled by self
respecting, orderly, dignifed Off
cials. The name is a disgrace to
newspaperdom and the state. In
the second place, there are not
enough final proof notices to go
round to the Republican newspa-
pers, and the time will never come
in this state when under a Repub-
lican administration, such legal
business should go to democratic
papers, provided there are Repub-
lican papers eligible to publish
them. It was the Republican party
that passed the homestead laws
which gave every man a farm, and

COURT

After The LEADER went to press
last week, the trial of Peter Lokken
for horse stealing took place. Mr..
Hyland appeared for the defense.
The evidence showed that after the
storm IN September, 1903, the horse
went to the place of the defendant
and he took it up. He spoke to
the neighbors about having an es-
tray horse, but did not advertise it
as required by law. After keeping
the horse and working it, he
changed the brand, and then began
to tell the story that he had found
the owner, who had given him $40
for wintering it. His next story
was that he had bought it of the
owner for $45.
The jury went out Friday night,
and came in on Saturday at noon
with verdict Of guilty.
GRAHAM SENTENCED.
J. A. Graham was sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary for OBJ
tanning money under false pretences
he having pleaded guilty.
On Saturday afternoon, a jury
was obtained in the case of the
State VS.. D. P. Herman, charged
with maliciously setting fire to
three hay stacks. Mr.. Callihan de-
INJURED to the information, claim
ing that the defendant could not tell
therefrom whether he was charged
with a felony or a misdemeanor.
The demurrer was overruled and
the case proceeded.
Peter Lokken was sent for two
years for horse stealing. Court
adjourned to Monday afternoon.
MONDAY.
On Monday afternoon the trial
was resumed of D. P. Hermann,
who was charged with setting fire
to three hay stacks belonging to
Severt Dali, in December, 1901. In
this case it transpired that there
was some feeling between the par
ties. Dali had these stacks in the
Denhoff locality, four miles from
the residence of the defendant.
The testimony showed that there
was six inches of snow on the
ground and horse had gone out
of Hermann's stable to the stacks
and back again. The inference of
the prosecution was that the de-
fendant had ridden his horse to the
stacks and set the fire. The de-
fendant denied his guilt, and pro-
duced witness named Moore, who
said that he visited Hermann that
night, and seeing the fire at a dis
tance, he rode his horse to see the
fire, believing it was somebody's
buildings. So Moore claimed that
the horse tracks on which the state
relied was made by the horse that
the witness himself rode to the fire.
In addressing the jury, States
Attorney McCulloch claimed that
Moore was a dreamer and had in
vented his story. The jury were
out four hours and returned a ver-
dict of not guilty.

That North Dakota is recognized
by the Democrats as a hopeless case
is evidenced by the fact that the
Democratic national committee has
respectfully declined to spend any
money in this state for campaign
purposes this year. Heretofore the
North Dakota Democrats have re-
celved from SIS, 900 to $50, 900, but
this year they are cut off without a
penny.

On they came. When they caught
sight of a sprig of boy drawn up be-
side the way with his hand resting
sternly on HIS knife, they sent up a
shout of boisterous merriment. The
blood roared so loudly In Randalin's
ears that she could not understand
what they said. she jerked her horses
