TRIAL JUDGE NAMED.
Judge Fisk Will Try the tIartzelI and Bascon
Cases at Pemhiaa.

Judge Fisk will try the cases of the
state against s. L. Hartzell and E. T.
Bascom, who are charged with murder
in the first degree for the killing of
Byron Stoddard, last July. When the
case was called at Langdon two weeks
ago affidavits of prejudice were fled
against Judge Kneeshaw, who was also
asked for change of venue, the accused
men contending that they would be un-
able to secure fair and impartial trial
in this county. Judge Kneeshaw re-
moved the case to Pembina county for
trial and has selected Judge Fisk to try
the case, which will be called about the
middle of January. In event that Judge
Fisk has not completed the calendar in
Grand Forks county, and is required to
go to Pembina, Judge Kneeshaw will go
there and remain until the return of
judge Fisk.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Frisky Bronchos Caused N. E. Charter a Few
Moments of MeataI Worry.

It is learned that L. w. Deichert, OF
Grand Forks, N. F. Cherrier of this city
and Jack Lang were riding after pair
of fractious bronchos last Thursday near
Lansford when the bronchos became
ambitious of the past and strenuous
life and started. The trio behind were
not heartily in sympathy with the am
bition of the ANIMALS and Mr.. Deichert
decided to show his disapproval by part
ing company with them-which he did
by jumping. Messrs. Cherrier and Lang
decided to stay to the finish which was
not as strenuous as expected. The
bronchos were persuaded to be content
with q quiet existence. Mr.. Deiehert
was picked up, saw doctor about q
slight bruise as the result Of the jump,
paid his fee and the journey was con-
tinued with the team, harness and rig
intact and undamaged and the passen-
gers in good spirits.
