The Under World.

Seated in the cozy sitting room of
his home the other night, Kelly chatted
in the most delightful and informal
manner regarding his experiences in the
nether world His "reminiscences ran
Upon the question of forgers and forg-
cries Students of crime will tell you
that burglars, enlpeZzlers, and cracks
uen, like other professional men who
are proud of their work, are constantly
introducing Improvements and innova-
tions, but that forgers alone, of all
classes of criminals, have not advanced
to any appreciable extent. in other
words, that they have stood still while
cemmoner criminals have kept pace with
the times. Perhaps they have advanced.
and possibly the means now taken to
BATTLE them are so systematic and COM
plete that the poor forgers do not really
get the credit they deserve for ingenuity.
Speaking of the means now taken to
illustrate forgers, Chief Kelly said:
I'm the evolution and changes of
business, nothing has so kept up with
the times as the banking business. 1t is
only where some employe in banking
institution does not adhere strictly to
the prescribed rules that swindlers are
occasionally successful.
There is one class of sWindlers who
operate in this manner: He will come,
possibly. from Milwaukee, having Sc
cured draft on one of the banks, say
for s15. He comes to this city, and, for
a blind, establishes himself in some
small business, making the acquaintance
of some business man, and asks that he
introduce him to his bankers, as he
wishes to open an account. This he
will do by presenting the draft for col
lection; in the meantime having raised
1t from s15 to $500. Unless the bank
taking such draft for collection promptly
learns by telegraph whether such and
sucn a draft in the name of certain
man is genuine, 1t Is very likely the
swirile Will be successful, If they in
their inquiry do not state that the
amount is $3.50; otherwise the answer
might come back that they issued the
draft mentioned.

Many Norwegians came to town on
Monday to hear the great Harald Stor-
moen and also to attend the mass
meeting in the afternoon. Stormoen
arrived from Souris on the morning
train accompanied by the Souris brass
band. Ole Bjorgo was also along
carrying flagstaff OH which was dis
played the american and Norwegian
flags and Ole is built for a standard
bearer-in windy weather. The band
rendered some beautiful music, playing
the Norwegian national airs to perfec-
tion. The mass meeting came to or
der at 2 o'clock with John Flittie in
the chair and Ole Roland as secretary.
Rev. Thommeson of Willow City and
Rev. Raftshol spoke eloquently of the
situation in Norway and of the duty
which American Norwegians owed to
the mother country in encourag ing
them in the stand taken. Both speak
ers were loudly applauded. Mr.. Stor-
moen made the first political address
of his life and it is said to have been
a gem. Mr.. Flittie spoke briefly and
to the point. A committee was ap-
pointed to draft congratulatory ad-
dress to the people of Norway from
Bottineau county Norweglans. Mr..
sStormoen will deliver this address in
person, one copy going to Prime Min
lister Nicholson and one to M. Berner,
president of the Storthing. The COM
mittee is as follows: Peter Scott,
chairman, G.. K. Vikan, Matt John
son, O. I. Ronning, P. S. Hilliboe,
A. Svensrud, Nels Lien, l. M. Brand
jord and Nels Magnusson. The petit
tion to the president of the United
States praying for the recognition of
Norway, which was published in full
in our last issue, was passed around
for sig natures. Resolutions of thanks
were offered to the Souris band and to
E. L. Garden and Ole Bjorgo fol their
assistance in making the meeting here
success. After the business meeting
Mr.. Stormoen gave humorous enter
tainment. He told many stories and
impersonated many characters and
kept his audience constantly laugh
ing. Every modulation of his voice
and, every gesture, bespeaks the fin
ished artist. In the intervals of his
afternoon program the Souris band
played in excellent style several Nor
wegian melodies including the fan
tasia SIN the Vikings Domain" "
Stormoen paid the band we'll deserv-
ed compliment on the excellent music
they rendered. The evening enter
tainment was well attended and is
said to have been splendid. Mr.. Stor-
moen left on Tuesday morning and
will shortly return to the old country.
He says he likes Bottineau county bet.

The special session of the district

It looked as if though there would be
rather lengthy session as there were
ten or twelve cases where the railroad
could not agree to the terms of the
landowners. During the day all but
two of these were settled out of court.
H. D. Warner and Nels Lien refused
to settle and their cases were tried to-
gether. The jury found verdict for
the defendants and Warner will re-
ceive 81, 111.75 for the right of way
across his farm and for damages
caused him. Nels Lien gets $1.0s7.
The case of the state VS.. Steele was
taken up. Defendant was charged
with robbery but was discharged on
that count and an information filed
for assault and battery. To this
charge Steele plead guilty and was
sentenced to thirty days in Jail and to
pay fine of $50 and costs of trial.
