The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1904-01-22

This week ha; been a busy one in
the District Court. During the first
week of court there were necessarily a
good many odds and ends to be attend
ed to. but during the past week there
has been steady grind Of the legal
machinery in the disposition of cases.
and a good deal of work has been
accomplished. 81 ....sF rs. SE4 e
On Friday of last week the case of
the State VS.. VIM. Granger was taken
up and a jury secured. Martin Nc.
Carol was called to the stand by the
prosecution and testified that he met
defendant in Sawyer's livery barn and
til t his brother John McCarrol told
him to give Billy(meaning Granger)
%. 90 and he did so. Granger went
away returning in about half an hour
with bottle of liquor, which they
opened and from which they drank.
He said that at the time he gave
Granger the money there was no con-
yersation as to what it was for. He
said he considered it loan to his
brother, and that in fact John after
wards paid him back the money. The
State having no other evidence, to
corroborate this, the judge instructed
the prosecuting attorney that he had
better make q motion to dismisssthe
case. This was done, the defendant
dismissed and his bonds released.
The case of the State VS.. James
Berry, who had plead gully to petit
larceny on. n..Thursday before, and which
plea had been refused at that time was
called, and the defendant was inform
ed by the court that after comforting
with the states attorney. the court
had decided to accept the plea of.guilty
to petit larceny. Defendant made the
plea of petit larceny and the time for
sentence was fixed for Saturday.
The case of the State VS.. Frank
Wadkins was called. and after a, jury
had been secured the state called the
complaining witness, James Mcguire,
who swore that he bought a bottle of
wniskey from defendant in one of the
stalls of Gains livery barn in Souris.
He said that he did not know where
defendant went to get the liquor, but
said he called for something to drink.
He afterwards testified that he called
for whiskey. He said there was no
whiskey but that he gave some of the
one else present when he bought the

not know their names. The defendant
took the stand in his own defense and
swore that he did not sell whiskey to
Mcguire, or to any one else. The case
went to the jury, who returned a
verdict Of not guilty. The court in
structed the sheriff to hold the defend
ant as it was evident one of the wit
nesses had perjured himself and he
wanted the matter investigated by the
grand jury. - ~ -" ''
The balance Of the afternoon was
taken up in reviewing the civil calen-
dar, and putting some of the cases on
peremptory call, there being no Grim.
inal cases that could be taken up. at
that time, as the states attorney was
engaged in his duties in the grand jury
room. Two of the attorneys were fined
for contempt of court on Friday, on
account Of being late at the morning
session, but the fine was afterwards
remitted but Judge Palda assured them
if they were tardy again he would fine
them heavily and show no leniency.
The court then adjourned until 9:3O
Saturday morning. aA@,j
Court convened on Saturday as per
adj djournment. James Berry was called
to receive sentence on the charge OF
petit larceny and was given twenty
days in the county Jail, and fined $lO0,

An Agent Who Met a Match i'm a

An amusing little incident happen
ed the other day in which the CRATER
for once got the worst end of the deal.
An agent walked up on the porch and
rang the bell, the lady of the house
opened the door, gave him a glance
and said. Excuse me for just mo-

sight behind the door and continued,

A cHILD's FIRST LESSON.

One of the first lessons that should be
impressed on every child, whether he
live in the city or in the country, is how
to see things out of doors. If he learns
to do this early in life he will not only
become a man of larger intelligence
and culture, but also a happier and
more successful one than he otherwise
would.
At the cost of few cents the poorest
boy or girl may be transported to the
country and there see beauties which
might entrance an angel. Yet many
persons travel across continents to see
the works of great masters and give
fortunes to possess themselves of a
canvas or two representing a land
scape, such as a sunset or some other
bit of nature, while they remain dense
and unappreciative in the picture gal
lery of the great Artist of the universe.
Many of us have become so self alb
sorbed and have had our energies so
long directed upon our material desires
and problems, our plans to amass mon
ey, to make business pay, to perfect
some invention, to write a book or to
attain this or that ambition-in short,
all our faculties have been conferred in
ourselves SO long that they cannot look
outward except upon the things that
concern our immediate interests. To
learn to see things out of doors, would
be to many of us like learning a new
occupation or profession in middle life.

The reclamation of nearly half a mill

AN EARLY WALK.

The girl who rises at every morning
and, wet or fine, goes for an hours walk
before breakfast is rewarded for her
self denial by gaining healthy appe-
tite and nice complexion.
The early morning air is the freshest
and purest of the day, and it both in
vigorates the body and stimulates the
brain. For the very thin girl this SIM
pie prescription viii be found most
beneficial, but it must be persevered in
regularly. A walk one day and staying
in bed till breakfast time the next will
do more harm than good.
A cup of milk and biscuit is all that
is necessary before starting. A banana
or an orange eaten while out is excel
lent, and let the breakfast consist of
oatmeal. stewed fruit and eggs.

and daintily tinted sunshades, and out
in the open were the yachts glistening
with dead white paint and sails and
with their beautifully polished brass
work winking in the sun. In the imme-
date foreground of the water (if l can
use that terrn) sports were going on,
such as canoe and obstacle races and
diving. Back on the piazza other races
were going on-between the walters
and those who, comfortably ensconced
in armchairs, dashed the perspiration
from their feeble brows and called
loudly for some things with cracked ice
in them.
The men, as usual-the real men, /
mean-were out on their yachts, and
the feminine contingent on shore who
couldn't swim out to them was forced
to capture such small fry as were

Liqht Blue Is a Fad.

When the water sports were over and
the sun had considerably gone down
and some of the women had dispersed,
the smaller yachts ventured nearer the
shore with many a ding, ding, ''toot
toot," and a great splashing from the
tenders waiting to take people aboard.
Then for an hour there was compare
tive quiet, interrupted only by the twit
tering of the birds and. the preparations
for the dinner. The sun finally disap-
peared over the waters, the smell of
appetizing dishes came floating to the
clubhouse veranda, lights began to ap-
pear on the different yachts, candles,
red shaded, began to CLEAN on the We
randa tables and carriages ratified up
the gravel drive filed with guests. Din
ner parties for six or eight were the
rule, with occasionally twosome. The
women wore charming decollete gowns
of hlmy pink, black and pale blue, with
occasionally a gown of creamy white;
but, strange to say the pale blue gowns
were in the majority. The hairdressing
was almost all low, in the shape of
coils. skillfully and loosely pinned to-
gether with a rose or a wisp of tulle
drawn through.

blue lights down low In the grass were,
I thought. especially effective. Each
shrub seemed to flower in flame owing
to the lights hidden in the foliage.
From yacht to yacht chains of light ex-
tended across the water, while three
fountains began to throw jets over the
lawn, and as these played lights which
changed every moment were thrown on
them.
Altogether the scene was much like
fairyIand, and it was even more so
later on when the dance began and the
floor was filed with the beautifully
dressed women and the gay yachtsmen
with their -spotless white uniforms and
gold braid insignia.
The only reason why want to marry
a rich man is so he can have a yacht
and principally a yachting uniform.

One More Victim of Eden Wreck.

Pueblo. Colo. Aug. 24--The body
of L. B. Durham of this city, one of
the victims of the Rio Grande wreck
at Eden on August Z, has been found
in the Arkansas river. five miles from
this city. The corpse was lodged
against a snag in midstream. The
body was badly decomposed and fden-
tification was made from the clothing.
Durham was an employe of the Santa
Fe railroad.
