land contest, in which convict

cipals, was partially tried in the los
landoffice yesterday and will be col
pleted today. ~
The case is that of Louis Lariyie
against Seth L. Hartzell. Mr.. La
Were is 90 years of age, and Mr.. Hai
zell was recently convicted OF
murder of Byron Stoddard, near Ian
don, and sentenced to FIVE years in
state penitentiary. NJ
The claim involved is located eig
or ten miles from Langdon, in Cav
lier County, a short distance from t
new town of Munich. Hartzell fiji
on the land on July 27, just 20 da
after he shot and killed Byron Sto
dard, making his affidavit before
competent official who visited him
the county Jail at Langdon. Mr.. La
Were instituted the contest procee
ings on the grounds that Hartzell |,
never established a residence on /
land and further that the entry was
illegal one. q

Byron Stoddards the claim of Mr.. La
Were was cancelled and twenty da
later Mr.. Hartzcll filed on the land.
y Old man Lariyiere has been livii
on the land with a married grands,

case is by far the strangest OF maj
strange ones that have from time

certainly indication sufficient that

TREES FOR The DAkOTAS.
DISCUSSED BY BUREAU

Washington, March 8--The forestry
bureau agents selected to investigate
planted groves and natural timber in
the eastern half of the Dakotas and
western third of Minnesota have a de-
tanned report which will be published
as soon as data can be compiled. They
find that in the area named good lot
Of tree planting has been done to meet
the requirements of the timber-culture
acts, and that his work is being carried
forward year after year steadily.
A Study Of the work, however. gives
opportunity for suggestions, which viii
greatly improve this work, 1t Is found
that the trees usually planted are those
growing naturally iii the bottoms of this
region, and that the trees, while having
many admirable qualities, are III some
respects uisuited for the purposes for
which the farmers are using them On
this point a preliminary report by the
forestry bureau says. 5
The ideal tree for planting on the
prairie is one which is able to resist
extremes Of drought and temperature, is
free from insect enemies, makes ahrapid
growth and Is at the same time valuable
for both protective and commercial uses.
Some of slle conifers of evergreens have
these characteristics in high degree,
and enough planting OF certain species
|of pine, spruce and larch has been done
ito prove their superiority. \. N
For future planting iii this section the
bureau will probably recommend the
substitution, 10 d large extent, of cone
bearing trees for some of the species
which have been in use. In the past
timber yal,ie was q secondary considera-
Ition; trees were planted for their pro-
.tective value and for ornament But
by proper choice Of trees. a direct profit
can also be reapcd A species which
meets commercial benefit in tree-piant-

ease of Vincent Kan1rowski, VS. The
Home Insurance Co.. returned sealed
verdict this morning, finding for the
plaintiff in general verdict Of $I,I5I.75
This has been one Of the hardest fought
legal battles in this district since its or
ganization and, some very interesting
questions of law have been decided by
the court. Judge E. B. Goss presiding,
The insurance company will appeal the
case and certain precedents will be es-
tablished by the court of last resort
that have heretofore been unde-
#cided III this state. s.# i. 4 s..g n. f5Ft.
In addition to the general verdict
special findings were submitted to The
jury and iii answer to the questions
therein they found that plaintiff was ex-
amiiied under oath by an agent of the
company, touching the subject OF insur-
.ance !; that he refused to answer ques-
items then proporEded to him relating
TO said subject, and that by reason Of
his refusal SO to- answer the examitia

true; that there was kept and maintain
ed III the building insured at the, Time Of
the fire b common nuisance, that tie
plaintiff did not know of the same, also
that he made oath fiat he did not know
the origin of the fire.
The contention of the defendant has
been that the fire was ifcendiary, that
the plaintiff instigated tie burning, that
he was not, iii fact, the owner of the
premises, that he made false oath il,
his affidavit attached to the proof Of
loss. that he knew that common rlii-
sarice was being maintained in said
building this being ali increase Of risk
which ilullified the policy, and tilat he
refused to submit to an examination,
touching the subject of insurance and
the occupancy thereof.
Y On appeal to the. supreme court the
defendant will contend that the change
of the occupation of tlle building where
The risk is Increased invalidates the con-
tract Of insurance, also that false swear
ing III the affidavit attached to the proof
of loss makes the policy void, and like
wise the refusal OF the plaintiff insured
to submit TO examination BY an agef,t
of the company touching the subject al
insurance, and also that the answers To
the special findings makes illegal The
