DICKINSON NOTES,
(FrOm the Press, }

BENJAMIN Webb of Richardton was
in Dickinson the first of the week con-
sulting a doctor. It was found that
he had appendicitis and he will prob
ably go to the Bismarck hospital for an
operation Within a few days. The
Webb family seem to have had their
full share of trouble from this disease.
About two years ago Mrs. Webb had to
60 to the hospital for an operation and
just recently Miss Edith, aged IA
years, underwent an operation at Bis
marck for appendicitis. Both Mrs.
Webb and her daughter are enjoying
excellent health since they were in
the hospital, and Mr.. Webb hopes that
his visit at the hospital will also prove
quite as beneficial to him.
Last week the switch engine crew
coming up from Lehigh with eleven

FAST TRAINS KILL BIRDS.

Steam Is Faster Than Wings, and the
Result Is Disastrous to the Feath-
cred Flyer.
How many people realize" said an
old Missouri Pacific engineer at the
Union depot few nights ago, ''that
when they are riding across the coun-
try in limited trains they are going
faster than bird flies? And how
many of them know that the run of a
fast train for a trip of 300 miles causes
the death of from one to six birds?"
7 Not a trip is made across Missouri
by any of the fast trains that one or
more birds are not killed in it's flight.
When the fast mail trains come in
from their runs frequently one of the
little feathered tribe is found lodged
in some nook upon the engine. A lit
tie tuft of feathers, clinging to the iron
monster, tell where a life was taken
Engineers say that If they get within
ten feet of bird before it raises from
the roadway it will be killed. The
noise and speed of the train, they say,
bewilder it. r..-. = -E'.s

The engine men regret especially to

that all doves are lovers" one engine
man said. "You can see them togeth-

sitting by each others side. There
are always two, especially when they
are feeding. Down on the Wabash
this year, just at the time when spring
was opening and the grass was turning
green, I killed dove, one of pair.
I remembered it because as it rose the
edge of the boiler struck it and
knocked it high in the air. A little
fluff Of feathers showed where it lit
and I turned to watch it. Next day
when 1 passed that spot 1 thought of
the little dove. There, by the side of
the feathers, close to the piece of
body, sat tine mate. 1t futtered to one
side as we passed. The next day the
little dove was sitting there, and so
it was the third. l never saw it again.
Since then l have watched the doves.

NEW TRIAL IN LAUDER CASE.

OF $1,000 Damages.

had come into the possession OF Max
We'll, the inference being that the
Judge had kept Maxwell posted; that \
Maxwell had paid to Mr.. Dewitt, Judge
LADDERS stenographer, $500 for keep,
ing him posted. These are the chief
charges made in the affidavit, though
others of a minor character are made
This affidavit was made during the
campaign, and copies Of it we've print
ed and circulated by some of the
judges political enemies, among them
being Evan S. Jones, the deputy
sheriff. The Judge was successful in
the election that year, but he brought
suit against Jones for libel, claiming
damages in the sum OF $1,000. He
denied the truth of the charges in the
affidavit, and asserted that the whole
document was inspired by malice, and
was circulated for the purpose of in
juring him. The case was tried in the
district court of Richland county,
Judge COWan presiding, and a Verd1cL
was rendered for the plaintiff, award
ing him the full amount of damages
claimed An appeal was taken to the
supreme court before which body the
case was argued over year ago. The
supreme court sustained the lower
court, but after hearing arguments ON
an application for rehearing, grant

September before Judge Morgan and

The supreme court of North Da-
kota has granted a new trial in the
case of Judge w. S. Lauder VS.. Evan
s. Jones'.
The incidents on which the case is
based occurred during the campaign
of 1900, when Judge Lauder was a
candidate for reelection and was op-
posed by Charles e. Wolfe. The lat
ter had secured the republican nomi-
nation, and Judge Lauder was running
as an independent. Between him and
Senator McCumber there was a feud
of many years standing, and the coun-
ty was divided into factions, each seek
ing the election of its candidate. Dur
ing this campaign Reverend Wendell,
a Methodist pastor at Ldgerwood, pre-
pared an affidavit setting forth what
purported to be facts concerning the
attitude of Judge Lauder with refer
ence to the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law. The statements made
ain the affidavit were substantially as
follows:
That in the village of Lidgerwood
certain blind pigs were operated by
Ralph Maxwell; that Mr.. Wendell Sc
cured the services of a spotter, who
obtained evidence against these
places; that search warrants were Sc
cured, which the judge refused to sign
ON the grounds that Deputy Sheriff
Jones was not responsible; that on the
Afternoon CT the day on which the
judge had refused to sign the warrants
! the stock of goods was removed from
the Maxwell buildings, the Inference
| being that the owners had been warn
ed that suits were being preparet
against them; that Wendell wrot,

There were enough feathers there to

let bird fly straight in front of your
engine, and you'll hit it hard enough
to knock it's life out every time. Birds
through here don't fly a mile a minute,
but these big engines do. and they
often fly faster than that. A dove is
the fastest of all the birds, and there
are fewer of them killed. In the first
place, a train rarely gets close to one.
In the second place doves usually fly
in circle, and it is race with one
to run it down. A quail will make
short, quick flight, but will not last
long. It's body is too heavy in proper
