IN DISTRICT COURT.
Judge Fisk Tries Two Important Cases Taken
from Cavalier County.

In district court at Grand Forks two
cases of interest from Cavalier county
we're brought up for trial before Judge
Fisk. The first one was the case of
DR.. J. Reilly VS.. Bostock and others,
an action brought to quiet title on
quarter section of Cavalier county land
valued at about $500. The plaintiff,
claims that he paid for the land and re-
ceived deed for it. He testified that
he lost the deed before it was recorded
and Bostock ignored the transaction
with Reilly and transferred the land to
other parties. The defendant testified
that the deed was drawn up but that
the plaintiff failed to comply with certain
agreements and 80 was not entitled to
the land. DISPOSITIONS will be submitted
in the case and it will be argued later
by the attorneys Interested.

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It gives
the stomach perfect rest by digesting
what you eat without the stomach's aid.
The food builds up the body, the rest
restores the stomach to health. You
don't have to diet yourself when taking
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. J. D. Erskine,
of Allenville, Mich, says, 81 suffered
from heartburn and stomach trouble for
sometime. My sister-in-law has had the
same trouble and was not able to eat for
six weeks. She lived entirely on warm
water. After taking two bottles of Ko,
dol Dyspepsia Cure she was entirely
cured. She now eats heartily and is in
good health. | am glad to say Kodo]
gave me instant relief from dyspepsia

Next followed the trial of the case OF

Next followed the trial of the case of
Franklin VS.. Wohler to bring about the
foreclosure of mortgage of $3.50 on lot
IL, block IA, in Osnabrock. The mort
gage and note were introduced as
evidence in the case and the court will
determine whether the figures on the
same were raised from $3.50 to $3.50 as
claimed by the defendant. B. Prom, a
Milton banker, testified on behalf of the
plaintiff in the action. The plaintiff,
Franklin, and DR.. Reilly also gave testi-
mony. The substance of their testimony
was that the note and mortgage we're
bona tide. The defendant testified that
the mortgage was only $3.50 when she
signed it. Her testimony given in an
other suit was introduced to show that
she had testified that the mortgage was
$3.50 at trial held within year after
the instrument was executed.

Supreme Court Of the State Ap.
pealed To.
FAVOR THE LIEUT.. GOVERNOR
Joint Legislative Convention Want an
Opinion as to Its Power to Declare
Office Of Governor Vacant and Seat
the Lieutenant Governor.

Denver March 9.-The joint legis-
lative convention has sought an opin.
ion from the state supreme court on
the question whether 1t has the power
TO declare the office of governor vacant
and what effect such action would nave
on the present contest. A decision in
the Peabody Adams gubernatorial con-
test will be deferred until an opinion
is received from the supreme court.
This action is taken with a view of
deciding against the claims of both
Peabody and Adams and seating Lieu
tenant Governor Mcdonald as COVER
nor. In the meantime the allegations
of Senator Morgan in regard to brib-
cry will be held in allegiance. The
committee on investigation held a brief
session this afternoon. after which
Senator Arthur W. Cornforth, its
chairman, announced that ut the re-
quest of the attorneys for both sides,
an adjournment had been taken sub,
ject to the call of the chairman, or
practically until the governorship
tangle had been Strengthened out.

port has reached Warsaw tonight that
Musden has fallen and the news was
received with ilI-concealed pleasure.
The newspapers wished to publish the
report, but were promptly forbidden
to do so by the censor, which gives
credit to the report. It was quickly
circulated, however, and was the sub
ject of almost unanimous jubilent
comment.
st. Petersburg, March 9.-St. Peters
burg this morning knows little more
Of the outcome of the battle at Muk-
den than II knew Wednesday night.
The most important news received
was from Russian sources In the AS

Japanese had already reached Hun
river, Tie Pass, only IL miles east of
Mukden, and well westward of Gen.
Ieral Linevitch's line of retreat. wheth-
er extreme Russian left has already

eral Kuropatkin's main force is not
stated.
Mukden, March 9, a. m.-Midnight
closed the tenth day of the struggle
for the possession Of Mukden and the
mastery of THE great empire. The
tenth day was one of unceasing con.
fict under exploding shrapnel. roar of
cannon. whistling bullets, in which
none of the troops have had any sleep
and have been without food. The
combat is fast reaching the point
where 1t is a question not so much Of

For forty-eight hours the Japanese
have not eaten. They are starving and
exhausted, but Field Marshal oyama
himself has told them that the city
would fall and the slaughter stop on
Friday and their confidence in their
leader increases their strength ten
fold. With every fresh flanking move
ment, the iron band closes nearer to

first and third Russian armies were
forced last night to abandon the

IN IMPOVERISHED CONDITION
Embarked from Russia for Los Ange-
les and Were Landed at Buenos
Ayres Without any Visible Means of
Support in impoverished Condition.

Los Angeles, March s.--It is report
ed that a party Of 20 Russian emil
grants on their way from Russia to
Los Angeles have been landed from a
steamer at Buenos Ayres, Argentine
republic, by mistake. Among the num-
Der are said to be several families, the
agents Of which preceded them to Los
Angeles, arriving some weeks ago and
are now awaiting the arrival Of the
women and children. The mistake was
made, it is said, by the emigration
agent in Russia, who booked the party
for the wrong port. The condition of
the unfortunate Russians, who are OF
the lower classes Of the interior OF
Russia is said to be pitiable. They are
wholly unfamiliar with the country in
which theY have landed, unable to
speak any language but Russian and
are practically without funds.
The local Russian colony is much
exercised over the state of affairs and
have taken steps to have the emigrants
re-embarked and brought to this city.
