PARTS OF THE STATE.
Judges Lauder and GIaspeIl Cited to
Appear Before Supreme Court
to Explain Their Action on
the Moody Case

Judge ]. M. Cochrane of the supreme
court has signed an order for writ of
mandamus, directed against Judge
Lauder and Judge Glaspell, requiring
them to appear before the full court
at Bismarck April 26, and there show
cause why they should not dispose of
the case OF the state against George
E. Moody. sheriff Of Richland county.
Attorney General Erich started an ac-
tion against Sheriff Moody several
weeks ago to remove him from Office
on the ground of misconduct and NAL
feasance in Office. The case was set
for a hearing before Judge Lauder, at
Wahpeton, and Judge Glaspell Of
jamestown, who was called in to try
the case, held that the district court
did not have jurisdiction to remove an
official in civil action. Edward
Engerud of Fargo appeared for the
state, and upon the ruling of Judge
Glaspell applied to Judge Cochrane for
an order for a writ of mandamus. The
order was signed last week and con-
siderable interest attaches to the out
come of the case. The charges brought
against Sheriff Moody cover a great
deal of ground.

In the Year 1641.
The first free school established in
the United States was in the province
of Massachusetts, Bay in the year 1e41
by order Of the general colonial court.
In l647 the same authority declared
that free schools should be esta ablished
within every town having fifty house
holders under penalty of fine of Is.
This fine was doubled by a declaration
made In 1871 and again doubled in
$685. Connecticut established free
schools in 1914 and levied a tax for
their support. Maryland established
free schools In 1894 and levied tax on
negroes, pelts, furs and beef and pork
for their support. Governor Berkeley
declared In 1649 the hope that free
schools would never be established in
Virginia, but the towns of Charleston
and Elizabeth did establish them in
that year, and Elizabeth set aside 200
acres Of land and eight cows, the in
crease from which was applied to sup
port the schools. -Four years later the
number of cows had increased to forty.

Toronto, Ont, April 20-Fire swept
through section of Toronto's whole
sale district last night, causing a loss
which will reach up to $4,000, 900. The
fire started in factory in Wellington
street about o'clock. In less than
an hour the flames had spread from
building to building on both sides of
the street until the whole block was a
mass of flames and the fire was utterly
beyond control of the local depart
ment. Appeals were sent to every sur.
rounding city where fire apparatus
could be obtained asking for assist
ance. Montreal, London, Hamilton
and Buffalo at once responded.
1t was believed at II o'clock that the
fire was under control but a sudden
shift in the wind again famed the
flames into a roar and clouds of
sparks and burning brands were car
ried down side streets until three en-
tire blocks were doomed.
Fire Chief Thompson and George
Dowkes of Montreal were cut of by
the flames while directing the work

jumped six stories to the ground and
miraculously escaped with a broken
leg. A mass of tangled wires broke
his fall near the ground. Dowkes has

fire spread with astounding rapidity
to the west, destroying several build

The thick walls of the hotel and the
concentrated efforts of the fire fight
ers stopped the flames there, but in
the meantime the fire had swept across
the street and the block of buildings
from Bay street west to the National
club was wiped out.
At that time the fremen believed
the fire was under control but a shift
in the wind sent the flames roaring
down Bay street. destroying every
building on both sides of the street
from the National club to Front street.
Nothing could resist the force of the
flames as they swept down Bay street
toward the lake and the fremen fought
back the fire from side streets, con.
ftning the fire zone to the one thor
oughfare wherever possible.
Several frame buildings which
threatened to cause q spread Of the
fire were blown up with dynamite.
At 1880 Wednesday morning Bay
street was on fire from wellington
street down to the lake front, but the
