AFFECTS OLD LITIGATION.
Grand Forks Woman's Share in Estate
Is Reduced,

Is
Following the litigation that has
gone through all the state courts in
the shape Of a breach of promise ac-
ton, Judge Fisk has rendered a deci-
sion that takes away from Julia
Thompson the land which she secured
through a judgment of $4,000, setting
aside a transfer made nineteen years
ago.
The suit was started five years ago
by Julia Thompson against Charles O.
Myrum. Before the trial Myrum left
the country and decided his half of a
quarter section of land to his sister,
Mrs. Thone Solomonson. Julia Thomp-
son was given a judgment of. $4,000
against Myrum and attached the half
interest in the farm. 1t "a sold and
she bid it in. Judge Fisk held that the
title held to the land by Mrs. Solo
monson was valid, and that the trans
fer from Myrum was legal. The SUI
preme court set aside the transfer, and
by this decision Miss Thompson Sc
cured possession of the land.
The second chapter came when Tor.
DEL 1NClSOA, Ndy VIC llOluDoOu anu
Charles Kittelson, children of Kittel
Olson, and Thone Solomonson, a grand
daughter of Kittel Olson, brought a
suit against Julia Thompson to set
aside a deed for the property in Ben
tru township, over which there had al
ready been litigation, on the ground
that the transfer was illegal.
Nineteen years ago Kittel Olson
decided the land in question to his son,
Ole Kittelson. At his death Kittelson
left two heirs, Charles Myrum and
Mrs. Thone Solomonson. The plaintiffs
started action to set aside this transfer
from father to son, claiming that Kit
tel Olson did not have mental capacity
to make a transfer.
Judge Fisk holds that the deed OF
nearly a score of years ago was null
and void, and awarded the property to
the four plaintiffs as h~eirs-at-law Of
Kittel Olson. He further holds that
the former decree of the supreme court
in holding the transfer of Charles N.Y.
rum to his sister, Thone Solomonson,
estops the latter from claiming one
fifth of a one-half interest in the land,
and awards this one-tenth interest to
Julia Thompson, who, by the decision,
loses a one-half interest in the land
and is given in lieu there of a one
tenth interest. No costs are awarded
in the case, and it is expected it will
be appealed to the higher court.

FLOWING ABANDONED.

Farmers fear the fall blowing is over
for this year, the earliest date in many
seasons. The soil is frozen more than
an inch deep and will not turn over
well, besides making it hard for the
horses. Many farmers will make no
further effort to plow unless there is
m%oderating weather. Last year plow-
ing was continued till Thanksgiving,
and farmers will be greatly behind if
taey are compelled to stop now.

He states that there have been more
changes in the business districts of the

These are all excellent agricultural

This is an excellent opportunity for

NORTH DAKOTA STATE LANDS.
More Than 100000 Acres Of Land
n,Mnad hu tho C&afa

OWnSO Oy the 0IdIcs
North Dakota owns, by virtue of GER
tain grants from the United States,
more than 100000 acres of land. Like
all other states, sections 16 and Sc in
each township were granted for the
benefit of the common schools. Other
grants a%ggregating $685. $50 acres were
made for the. benefit of the several
educational and charitable institu-
tons.
Every county in the state contains
some of these school and institution
lands, but the greater amount is found
in the central and northern counties.
Before any land is offered for sale
it must first be appraised by a board
of appraisers in each county. None of
it can be sold for less than the ap-
praised value, and in nc case less than
$40 an acre, the minimum price fixed
by the constitution.
All state land is sold at public auc-
ton at the county seat of the county
in which the land is located. No state
land can be sold at private sale.
The purchaser of school or institu-
ton land must pay one-ifth of the pur.
chase price in cash at time of sale, the
other four-ffths being payable in five,
ten, fifteen and twenty years, respec-
lively, and all deferred payments bear
6 per cent interest, payable annually
in advance. A fee of IS is also charg-
| ed for making and recording the con-
tract.
Owing to the prosperous conditions
which prevail this year, and the large
immigration to the state, the board of
university and school lands has de-
cided to offer 245, 900 acres of state
land for sale in November and Decem.

INSANE MAN FLASHES
RAZOR PR0MISCUOUSLY

officers Brooks and Block arrested
Andrew Cragale, husky negro laborer,
at the home of j. w. Burton, another
negro, last night and locked him up in
the city Jail. He will be taken before
the lunacy commission
Cragle has been acting in a peculiar
manner for some time and has imag-
ined that Burton, who lives at 2453
Leonard street was trying to kill him.
Last night he went to Burtons house
and accused him of trying to commit
murder, and when Burton's wife tried
to quiet him he pulled out a razor and
started to wave it around the heads
of those in the house.
The officers were summoned by a
hurry call and soon overpowered Cra-
gale, who was in a state of frenzy by
the time they arrived. He was hand
cuffed and taken to the police station,
where he was placed in padded cell.

FIND NO TRACE OF THE
OAKLAND HlGHWAYMEN
Officers Arrest Several Suspects but
Have Little Hope of Over
taking Bandits
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
OAKLAND, March 21.-Thus far no
clue has been discovered as to the
identity of the men who held UP and
robbed John Daily and Frank Roach,
messengers of the Central bank of this
city to the Bank of Richmond, of $780,
600 yesterday near Siege, Contra Costa
county.
Suspects have been taken into Gus
tody by officers in various places, but
none of them have been connected with
the robbery. II, is generally believed
that after the crime the perpetrators
took train on either the Santa Fe or
Southern Pacific road and went across
the bay to San Francisco, where there
seems to be a good chance of their
eluding detection. This chance is all
the greater because the men who were
held up are unable to give the officers
any idea as to the features of the rob-
bers because of the masks with which
the highwaymen had covered their
faces.

NEW LAW WILL STOP
COLLECTION CRAFTS
Debtor to Have Better Show Accord
Ing to Interpretation Of Bill
Recently Passed

Heretofore II has been alleged that
6 ver7l Of the Los Angeles collection
agencies, in the prosecution of their
business, have been nursing live
graft" but Governor Pardee's ap-
proval of assembly bill 1853 will stop
the alleged fraud.
The law i'm the past has been such
that constables outside of Los Angeles
have been at liberty to come into
town and bid for the work of the local
agencies, and in this connection it is
asserted that several outside constables
have been in the employ of the Los
Angeles collection agencies as bill col
lectors.
In his official position as constable
the modern bill collector has been able
to commence attachment proceedings
without cost to himself or his lord
of the fee" and attachment proceed
ings for the collection of bills of a
low figure have been sued out by the
ofiicious collectors.
With the poor debtor brought to
terms by this method, the highway of
graft" it is said, was laid open to
the INSCRIPTIONS and when the defend
ant volunteered to settle the small
account, he found himself confronted
with the customary bill of costs.
The law exempts from execution the
property of married man, below a
certain figure, but in order to claim
the exemption the married one" must
serve notice on the officer levying the
execution.
1t is alleged that it has been so ar
ranged that the distant constables are
an unknown quantity in so far as
their residence is concerned and in
many instances it has been impossible
for the married one" to discover the
home Of the official bill collector, and
in this connection it is asserted that
the law has been evaded.
The bill recently signed by the gov
ernor provides that constables shall
not be limited to the service of process,
out of the courts of their township to
any particular territory, but in order
to serve legal process from the courts
of any township, the property sought
to be attached much be located in the
township of their residence.
Another act of the legislature pro-
vides that attachment proceedings
must be commenced in the township
in which the claimant is engaged in
business.

GREAT BRITAlN'S NAVAL
INCREASE JUSTIFIED
House of Lords Reminded That This
Country Has Added Largely
to Its Fleet

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, March 21.-In the house
of lords this evening Lord Goschen
justified the vast increase in the last
fifteen years, He said the two-power
standard was no longer applicable,
One thing had been strongly brought
out by the Russo Japanese war, name
ly, the difficulties which might arise
with neutrals, and the necessity of
maintaining an attitude of dignity and
power thereto.
The first lord of the admiralty, the
earl of Selborne, said the increased ex-
penditure was due to the fact that the
whole naval aspect of the world, east
and west, had changed, Within the
past thirteen years new nayies had
sprung up. Russia had recently suf-
fered great losses, hut the fleet of Japan
had come into existence; America and
Germany had evolved navies of equal
strength and efficiency, while the great
French navy had maintained its eff

reach fully million dollars, are still
under investigation. Herbert L. Baker,
counsel for Berry, insists that the only
thing that can possibly be said against

a poor investment of some of the
funds intrusted to his care.
James D. Colt, appointed receiver of
Berry's affairs, today said that he had
been unable to find trace of any books
that would give detailed account of
property intrusted to Berry's man

1t was learned today that Berry was
