Dawson Didn't Know.

He said Dawson had not known any
thing of the writing of the Marks .etter.
and that after Witness had talked win
Dawson he conceived this idea on his own
account He knew nothing OF the proposed
stock company, and had never heard OF IL
until he read the declaration In the news
papers, and lie knew nothing Of Busby's
affairs except what Dawson had told
him in the interview referred to above,
though he had acted as attorney for
Marks In matters relating to Busbys
lower store. leased from his client.
Marks and Busby had come to the office
OF witness. and Busby said y don
blame Marks for writing the letter, but
want you to explain how such letter
could help me. ag
Witness thought his explanation to
Rusby satisfied the latter and later
jBusby came in with Hon. Charles W
Meredith, and he made to them tho
same explanation. The next he heard
of the letter WAS when the suit was In
stituted.
Witness would never have gose to-
Marks about The letter except for bis
knowledge of NIarKs's connection with
Busby. and he thought Marks's acqunint-
ance with certain creditors would enable
witness to seapre the claims.
Again Rebelled.
Upon n closer inspection Marks went
to Bloomberg's office, and again rehelled,
but the latter said 1t was perfectly
proper and all right, and entirely for the
benefit OF Mr.. BLsby.''
Witness knew nothing about the mat
ter except that he had written the letter
at the solicitation of his attorney. Hc
had sent out only about six of the let
tiers, and these We're to firms with whom
he was on intimate terms. He had told
,rhalheimer. to whom he sent ono letter.
that Busby was all right, and had de-
clined to purchase Thalheimers claim
against Busby He finally bought 1t un-
der pressure, and sold one-half to Mr.
Jacobs, of Levy and Jacobs, at the same
price, and later Mr.. Thalhemer desired
the claim back
Witness vas not In a position to comply
with the request, and finally Thalhemer.
Jacobs and the witness divided the profits
equally He had never met Dawson until
he was introduced to him at Busby's store
after the above transaction.
Busby and Dawson had called on Wit
ness, and Busby had said: mt. Marks.
Mr.. Dawson has assured ME that all In
blame you for writing It, but ! want
you to tell me how It could benefit me,
Witness had said he did not keep q 4
copy of the.letter, and had advised Busby
TO SEQ Bloomherg about 1T.
Before Mr. Marks had completed his
testimony the hour of 8 O'Clock arrived,
and, the court took a recess until ~
O'Clock this morning.

Afternoon Session.

When Judge Ingram reascended the
bench at 1875 r. M, Mr., Sol l., Bloom
berk took the stand, and was questioned
by Mr.. Hunton
Witness told Of his connection with the
Busby matter, and said Dawson had call
ed upon him and told him OF the plain
lifts embarrassment, and showed him
statement OF the latter's affairs. Daw-
son asked wltrfes II the latter could get
hold Of the claims against Rilsby in or
der to protect the latter against suits,
as Dawson said he believed he would be
able to pay out all right II given time.
Marks had been ia the office of witness
before this with Busby, to get witness
to draw a, lease for the lower store, and
Marks also consulted him about selling
Busby $4,000 worth of goods. Witness adj
yised the sale, lie had seen Marks af-
ter Dawson saw witness, and he showed
Marks the list of Busbys creditors, Wit
ness then prepared A sketch of the
Marks letter to Busbys creditors, and
Marks had 1t copied and sent out. and
1t was done in the interest of Busby and
not to hurt him. Here witness identified
a number Of statements and papers all
ready in evidence, and which have been
testified upon by many witnesses. He
said he told Dawson that Marks Was a
client of his, and that II there should be
any trouble. the claim of Marks would
fall into his hams Witness suggested
that Marks should send out the letters
to only those OF Busby's creditors whom
he tMarks) knew. Marks replied that he

T. R. Mclaughlin and wife left Mon
day for st. Paul, where they will consult
a specialist regarding the health of their
little daughter, who it will be remem-
bered last fall had the misfortune to
fracture an arm.
An enjoyable evening was spent on
st. Patrick's day at the home of A. II.
Galloway and we are informed that
Donald Mcknight accompanied the
dancers with few selections on the bag
pipes, much to the enjoyment of all.
Will Orkett and his brother Harry,
who have been passing the winter
months with their uncle, Mr.. Charles
Van Norman, will leave next week for
their farms which are located in Cava-
lier county, near Empire.
The school board have selected the
following teachers for the different
schools in Fremont for the ensuing year.

Arthur, Georgetown, MINI.
We have been informed upon good
authority that Charles Van Norman will
be leaving here shortly for Portland,
Oregon, having recently disposed of
their Fremont township real estate to
Napoleon Tetrault. For sometime past
Mr.. Van Norman has been unable to at
tend extensively to the management of
his farm affairs, owing to rheumatic
troubles which have impaired his health
considerably. They leave here after
quite lengthy residence to seek a
warmer climate, trusting that it will be
of some benefit. In the departure of
Mr.. Van Norman and family Fremont
loses one of the pioneer families, their
coming here from Sauke Centre, MIMI,
dates back twenty three years. During
the whole Of that time he has been an
active member on both the school and
township boards and through his execu-
tive ability both school and township
matters have derived a considerable
benefit. Socially they will b missed q
good deal, for he and his estipabls wife
weSe always great workers and their
hospitality was enjoyed BY al. We wish
them Godspeed and trust that they will

where the family expect to depart to
about the time spring opens up. They
will all be very much missed in this
settlement.
The help committee of Daniels is now
enlarging its field and numbers among
its members quite few individuals in
the vicinity of Hannah. During the
first of the month they made visit of
pleasure to themselves as we'll as others
at the home of Mr., and Mrs. S. Hart of
that place. The trip hsmeward was
not begun until the light of the follow
ing day had started to dawn, so you
may Judge that they had pretty good
time.
Hugh Mcpherson and Alex Macarthur
are selling out their farm stock and
machinery this week by auction and
will remove to the Canadian: Northwest,
where they have already filed on land
in the Saskatchewan Valley. They are
a pair of jolly good fellows and will be
very much missed in the settlement, a
few miles south of here, where they
have been successful farmers for num-
Der of years past.
One day during the fine weather the
early part of the month Mrs. j. w.
David was called west in the direction
of Glenila, and it is presumed for the
purpose of locating new settler. Out
that way the homesteads are about all
taken up, but there are some small
groves near TO the boundary line, and
as the applicant is not very big fell
low it is not expected that he will need
very big tract. The new conner is
likely to make good soldier for Uncle
Sam after while.

over here Tuesday of last week, the first
time in quite long time. ~ If:
For heat and warmth apply to Doctor
Fortney and as spring is now near at
hand call on the doctor for his cele-
brated little early risers and you will
never know the need of owninga an alarm
clock.
Quite a number of friends around
here were out to attend the funeral OF
the eight month old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilkes, of Wales, which took place
lately at the burial ground of the Mt.
Carmel Catholic church.
Will Fritz has again had the misfor-
tune of being stepped on by horse and
it is the same foot as before, opening
up the old wound and making him limp
worse than ever. Better leave your feet
in the house next time "Bill'' when you
90 around that old horse.
Nobody is buster these days than
Fortney s. Gatschene with their mill,
grinding feed for the farmers, who will
soon be too busy with their spring work
to come to town. The boys are doing
their best to keep up with the rush Of
work and we wish them luck.
Last Sunday there was another crowd
of friends at the home of Matt Kartes
and wife and the company were very
nicely entertained by the music of Prof.
Gumper, of the Mt. Carmel schools, who
pronounces the new piano at the Kartes
home as one of the best instruments he
has ever seen.
George Schiller, blacksmith with Jno
Girodat, is all smiles since the Girodat
family returned home from Canada.
He got tired of running the place all
alone. II George had "frau" it
wouldn't have been so bad. He is not
saying word about those bachelor
suppers and good times he used to en-
terrain the boys with while the folks
were away.
The sale of stock and farm maehin-
cry at the Joseph Kartss place last
week was given q big turn cut by people
for miles around and it is said every.
thing went at good figure. No one
wants to think because Joe had sale
that he's quitting the country and 60.
ing to the Northwest, because he isn't.
He says that patching is no fun on q
farm and he ought to know. He's done
it long enough.
