The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1904-02-05

The case of the state vs.. George L..
Virgo was taken up Friday evening
and continued until Saturday before
dinner. The state called as its first
witness, Charles Boyes who swore that
he knew defendants place of business
and that he got whiskey from him but
did not pay anything for it. Witness
said that he did not sign book and
that he was not being treated. James
Townsend was called and swore that he
bought whiskey and paid for it. but
on REORGANIZATION testified that he
always signed the book. John Mc-
Caughna said that he arrested defen-
dant and searched the place of business
and that he found box Of stuff, a
can of liquor and bottle labeled port
wine. He produced the goods and
testified that they were the same that
he found in the search. Wilfred Link
took the stand and testified that he
also bought a bottle of liquor but
that he signed the affidavit book.
G. c. Nelson was called and testified
that he knew the defendant g place of
business and that it was not situated
ON Lot of block 12 az described in the
information. The state rested and
defendant moved to be dismissed ON
the ground that the description was
wrong. The state contended that it
did not matter except where they were
asking for an injuunction on the
building, but the court ruled with the
defense and instructed the jury to
bring in verdict of not guilty. This
was done at once and the court then
instructed the states attorney to take
the matter before the grand jury and
have another indictment returned at
once.
Several prisoners appeared and were
sentenced. John Stevens of Willow
City. who was indicted by the grand
jury for boot-legging, was brought up
from Willow City in the morning
and. after being arranged, plead
guilty and was given ninety days in
the county Jail, and sentenced to pay
fine of $500 and costs amounting to
$50 and in case of failure to pay such
fine and costs to serve one day addit-
ional. Joseph McCarvel was then
called and stated that he did not know
that he was violating the law and
was given ninety days in Jail. $500
fine and $50 cost and in case of failure

to pay fine and costs to serve an addit-
ional period of sixty days. The fine
and costs of this case were filed as a
lien ag inst the lot and building des-
cribed in the indictment. F. A.
Turner was brought into court and
after being informed that in the opin-
ion of the court he had deliberately
lied, in order to further his own case,
he was given a sentence OF five months
in the county Jail. to pay fine of
5000 and costs Of prosecution to the a.
mount of $50, and in case of a failure to
pay fine and costs an extra thirty days
in the county Jail. A. E. Guiding
was called up and informed that in
the opinion of the count he was type
of the genuine boot-legger, and that
the sentence was not imposed with any
belief that it would reform him, as
there was little hope that man who
would deliberately perjure himself,
as he had done, would profit by the
lesson, but that his sentence was i'm
posed as punishment and to show
violators of the law, of his stamp,
what they could expect from this
court, and he was given eight months
in the county Jail. and sentenced to
pay a fine of $1,000 and costs of the
action taxed at $500, and in case of
failure to pay such line and costs, to
serve an additional period of six
months, making in all one year and
two months.
The jury in the case of the state VS..
Frank Morris having been secured
before noon ON Friday, the state called
as it's first witness, Sam Klaske, who
testified that he was clerking in Hart
stems 9 store last fall. He said that he
was born in Russia and came to this
country ten years ago. He said that
the defendant came into the Chicago
Clothing Store in Souris on November
3rd, 1908 and bought sweater for
So. 90 and gave in payment twenty
dollar bill. and received $3.50 in
change. He said that he put the bill
in the till over night and that Hart
stein came the next morning and as ked
him where the. bill came from. Hart
stein took it to the bank aud after

to him saying it was not good. Wit

NAVY LEAGUES ABROAD.

According TO a recent report OF the
German Navy League. there are elgnt
countries in which navy leagues have
been organized since 1894. That OF
Germany. although ii was started IN
1895 - four years after the Brltlsh
Lea ague-numbers $4,000 members and
has 4 cash balance in its treasury OF
600 marks, or s1s7. 200. The British
League has 10000 members. while
France musters only 5000 and Italy
I0. 900. Spain organized a league in 1900
and claims l2.741 members. Even in
Belgium 500 people are navy leaguers,
although that country has no recog-
r,ized navy. The popularity Of the Ger
man Navy League is entirely due to
the Emperor's untiring efforts to place
Germany second in the rank of naval
powers, and the Government is tanning
the patriotic fire started and has
aroused the interest OF seaboards and
inland people in the subject. In the
United States contrary conditions ex-

graduates Of the Chester High SCHOOL
last night among other things said
III were you l would not work for
hire and If YOU do labor for wages the
chances are you viii never rise any
higher"
That would be excellent advice II It
could be taken. But how many Of that
graduating class can take it? The
trend Of our civilization is towards CEN
tralization. A great department store
represents the capital and the business
of a thousand ordinary stores Of the old
days. You can't go into business with
out n great amount Of capital. and,
consequently so many have been
driven nto the professions that they
are enormously crowded.
So the vast majority, even Of edu-
Gated men and women, must work for
somebody else. OF course most per-
sons have ever i'm view the day when
they may become their own masters.
but there are thousands Of shipwrecks
due to the fact that member Of a
crew has sought to be the captain Of
his own fortunes. The sea is so fun of
larger craft that the little boat is run

A VERDICT IN ADVANCE.

In discussing the action Of the Ma
tional Committee in regard to the Del
aware case and that of Wisconsin. the
Philadelphia Public Ledger says:
The Spooner party won its case be-
fore the National Committee. hut the
facts presented to that body then. and
to the country today. are that the elec-
tions were indisputably in favor of the
La Toilette faction. The committee did
not want the facts; il wanted to serve
the Spooner faction in Wisconsin pre-
cisely as IL wanted to serve the Ad-
dicks faction in Delaware. and did il
without regard to facts or public policy.
That Is absolutely correct The COM
mittee had decided in advance Of the
evidence just what to do in both cases.
And it had also determined the course
OF the committee on credentles s..
There We're individuals who were
disgusted and disposed to make
Ia protest but they were brought into
line by methods which would put a
Philadelphia Seventh ward gang to
shame. la FonetSe was right in re-
fusng to go before the committee on
credentials.

by Mr.. Handy as counsel for John W.

Then A. G. 3. Anderson and James A.

but James A. never acted in that capac-
ity. A. G. b. Anderson did until 1903.

istrator C.. Z. a. The bill in behalf of
Administrator Bird goes on to charge
that Alonzo G. b. Anderson as admins
traitor mismanaged and perverted the es-
tate and failed to charge himself with
the use of house and other property of
the estate. 1t also alleges that by manip-
ulalion he sold mortgagej property OF
the estate and in reality this property
belongs to him.

FILTERINo INFORMATION.

Just watch the filtration articles
which are running Ia the local papers
at so much per line and observe the
efforts made to educate our people up
to the point Of accepting a third con-
tract with a company that has deter
mined to do a work Of philanthropy in
this city by building for us nlter
plant, with or without our opposition
There are other philanthropists, but
this particular one engages our atten-
tion at present
Observe In the following how cum
nlngly It is made to appear that Mayor
Bird is fascinated with the plans and
ideas Of certain company which is
building a filter in indianapolis:
While In the West recently Mayor
Charles ID. Bird stopped in
Indianapolis. where ne desired to see
the filter plant OF that city in opera
tion. This is the plant built according
TO the plans Of Engineer Davis. OF the
United states Sand Filtration Com
pany, a concern which has had two
contracts with this city for water
plans
Mayor Bird was disappointed. how
ever The cityw unfortunate enough
to suffer from a flood which damaged
the filter beds to such an extent that
IL VIII be some time before they can
be put into condition for use. The
mayor says the water pumping plant
rs one of the finest he has ever seen.
but he could not tell anything about
the filtration plant for the reason that
il was not In operation when he was
there.
Now we havens the slightest doubt
that the indianapolis filter win prove
TO be a good filter when completed. and
we haven't the slightest doubt either
that any one Of several hundred water
engineers could build plant equally
good. The sum OF nlter knowledge is
not confined to the officers Of the Sand
Filtration Company or their success
sors our officials have been strangely
drawn towards indianapolis and the
pilgrim feet OF Delawareans have worn
a path to that filter But we viii wager
a penny that Mayor Birds visit was
due to a desire to see filter I'm course
Of construction. and not that he might
secure arguments to Justify the making
Of a third contract with the construct
ing company.
But we notice from reading the arti-
Gle from which we quote that the Mayor
was disappointed. Those filters. not
withstanding the Davis patents, were
flooded. We didn't know that any
thing could happen to filter con-
structed under these patents and by
this company. Therefore. we suggest
that the head of the filter propaganda
prepare other advertisements to cover
this point.
