SUPREME COURT DECIDES.

Appeal In Criminal Case Decided BY
Supreme Court Today.
The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the case Of the
state of North Dakota, appellant, VS..
Thomas J. Fordham, respondent.
Syllabus as follows:
1. An information for the crime of
robbery as defined in Section TILT,
Revised Codes, is sufficient to charge
a taking with intent to steal the prop
erty taken, when it charges that the
defendant "unlawfully, wrongfully and
feloniously did take and
carry away, etc.
2. 1t is the duty Of the trial court
to charge the jury, in direct or equiv
alent terms, that to constitute rob-
berry, the taking of the property must
have been with intent to steal it,
even though not requested so to do,
such intent being a substantive ele-
ment of this crime.
3. The record before the commit
ting magistrate examined and held to
show that the defendant was given a
legal preliminary examination on the
crime for which an information was
fled against him.
4. The word "wrongful' as used in
the statute defining the crime of rob-
berry, is to be construed as synonymous
in meaning with the word "felonious."
Appeal from the district court of
Grand Forks county; c. J. Fisk, judge.
J. B. Wineman, states attorney OF
Grand Forks county, and B. G. Skula-
son, assistant states attorney of
Grand Forks county, for appellant.
G., A. Bangs, for respondent.
Fordham was convicted in the dis.
trict court of Grand Forks county of
the robbery of one Bert Click and
sentenced to three years in the peni-
Tertiary. A new trial was granted by
the district court. From this order
the state appealed. The supreme
court aff1rms the order, granting q
new trial on the ground that 'for the
omission to charge the jury that the
taking be felonious or with intent to
steal the property, or by some other
language defining that the taking must
be wrongful in such sense, a prejudi-
ctal error was committed on the
trial. 2 - - ..'--

WATCHING BRITISH PLANS.
Russia Uneasy Over Reorganization OF
Indian Army.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-The state
ment that Russia is concentrating
troops on the Afghan frontier is de-
MED. Nevertheless it is undoubtedly
true that Russia is watching with some
misgivings the British plans for the
reorganization and increase of the In
dian army as well as the dispatch of
a deputation to Persia. Coming On the
heels Of the Tibetan expedition these
moves naturally create the suspicion
that Great Britain is taking advantage
OF Russia's preoccupation in the Far
East to strengthen her position on the
Indian frontier OF Persia.
