COURTNEY
CASE CALLED
Both Sides Ready and the
Trial Now in Pro
gress.
MANY FINES ASSESSED.
Commonwealth Attorney
Appeals From Peremptory
Dismissal of Telephone
Indictments.

The case of the Commonwealth
against Jas. Courtney, charged with
murder, was called yesterday. Both
sides announced ready and at 8
O'Clock the jury had been completed.
Several witnesses were examined
before adjournment. The case will
probably not go to the jury before
Monday afternoon. Defendant is
charged with the murder of John c.
Davis, his father-in-law. The killing
occurred on September 10, 1905, just
east of the city.
The case of Ed Moseley, COL,
charged with completely in the. muir
der of an unknown man near Penn
broke in November, 1903, was called
Thursday and continued until the
June term.
The presiding Judge on Thursdya
dismissed on peremptory instruc-
tions the indictments against j. D..
Russell, local manager, and S. E.
Yancey, construction foreman, of
the Cumberland Telephone company
for cutting the wires of the Home
Telephone Company on the Clarks-
vile pike. Commonwealth's At
torney Smith entered a vigorous
protest and said he would appeal
the case. He continued the case
against the Cumberland company as
corporation until the higher court
can pass upon the appeal. The facts,
Mr.. Smith insisted, were plain and
unmistakable. On July 8 the Home
people stretched wires on posts from
5 to 10 feet above the Cumberland
wires, but the Cumberland changed
its posts and on the 9th cut down
the Home wires and put their own
at the higher elevation, for no ap-
parent reason except to interfere
with their rivals lines. A very
radical change of opinion was de-
veloped between the court and the
Commonwealth's Attorney as to the
merits of the case and Mr.. Smith is
confident his contention will be sus-
tained by the higher court.
Tom Lunderman, indicted for
seining, was fined $40.
Matt Williams, malicious cutting,
felony charge waived and defendant
fined $50 for cutting in sudden heat
and passion.
Will Barker malicious shooting,
$1OO.
Warfield Sanders, c. C. d. W., $25.
Clifton Cannon, b. p, $50.
Richard Fuller, b. p., $40,
Henry Rice, assault and battery,
$25.
Neal Ratcliff, b. p., $15.
Bessie King, k. b. h., $25.
Nettie Wilson, k. b. h., $25.
The Lantrip cases were continued
until the next term.
The grand jury on yesterday re-
turned four indictments.

The pupils of the Central school
were probably the most concerned in
town today, because the result of a
half years work in school depended
on the success of their efforts in the
examinations being held for the re-
mainder of this week. The program
of the examinations as they are being
held are as follows:
Thursday q. m.-Higherl and ele-
mentary algebra and geometry in the
high school, language and grammar In
the grades.
Thursday p. m.-Physics and first
year German in the high school, geog-
raphy in the grades.
Friday a. m.-Arithmetic in the
grades and composition, rhetoric and
English literature in the high school.
Friday p. m.-Spelling in the grades
and shorthand, typewriting and sec
ond year German and Vergil in the
high school.
The result of the examinations will
be known next week and the promo
tons and grading will follow. The
examinations in the high school are
conducted according to state rules ana
the papers of the pupils are kept for
future reference. The results of the
examinations count one-third in the
average of the pupils standing for
last semester. This is one of the
main incentives in making the pupils

A HOSPITAL IS
NEEDED
In Addition to the Present Excellent
Institution. the Deaconess Hospital
Wards Are Full and Patients Are
Frequently Turned Away From City.

Yesterday telephone message was
received by a business man of Grand
Forks from rfiend who was enroute
to the city with a sick man, asking
that accommodations be found for him
in local hospital. An inquiry re-.
suited in the discovery that every
room and bed in the Grand Forks hos
pitfalls were occupied. He wired his
friend to either stop at Devils Lake
or else go, on through to Fargo.
This reveals bad state of affairs.
While it is true that the repairs at
the Deaconess hospital have tenn
porarily lessened the accommodations
of the city to care for the sick it is
also true that the hospital facilities of
the city are inadequate to the de-
mands.
1t is the opinion of the above-men-
toned business men that hundred
bed modern hospital would be a pay
ing venture in Grand Forks. If the
matter was properly handled, the
number of patients which would come
to the city instead of going elsewhere
would make it paying proposition.
A large and strictly modern hospital
would not injure the business of the
present hospitals, but would create
new business and be of great benefit
to the city.

MARKET WEAK
Mild Weather in East and
Crippled Telegraph Ser
vice Cause.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Mild weather in
the west and the continued crippled
telegraph service were responsible to-
day for a weak wheat market here.
At the close wheat for May delivery
was off A@Bc. Corn and oats were
practically unchanged. Provisions
were SC to TIC lower.
The weakness in the wheat market
developed late in the day. Early in
the session the feeling was quite firm
because of an active demand by CON-
mission houses. Opening quotations
on May were nc lower to Bc higher
at S61sc to $3.50 The fact that the
Liverpool market showed only slight
decline Notwithstanding the sharp
break of yesterday on the local ex-
change was the principal support of
the market During the first hour
offerings were relatively small and
prices made moderate advance, May
selling at S61A@S6Ac. Later selling
by commission houses and local bears
started break and many stop loss
orders coming out, a quick drop in
prices followed. May declining to
S53sc.
The report of the weather bureau
showing comparatively mild weather
throughout the winter wheat belt was
an influential factor of late trading.
The weakness was emphasized by the
absence of news, the continued Grip
pied condition of the telegraph SER
vice being Encouragement to the
bulls The market closed weak with
prices at almost the lowest point of
the day Final quotations on May
were 85% @85hc. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to $4,000 bush

bushels. against $4,000 bushels one
year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of 228 cars,
against 465 cars last week and 317
cars one year ago.
Considering the weakness of wheat,
the corn market was remarkably
steady. Purchases by leading COM
mission houses and decreased local
receipts were important bull factors.
Late in the day the session became
trifle easier in sympathy with the
break In wheat. but the close was
steady. May opened unchanged to Nc

44Rc and 45h@45Ac, and closed at
44%@45c Local receipts were 149
cars. with of contract grade.
Trading in oats was active and the
market was steady. Large sales of
cash oats had stimulating effect on
speculative prices. There was also
lively export demand. May opened
shade higher at Size; sold of to
31Ac and closed at 31%c. Local re-.
ceipts were 62 cars.
Provisions were firm early in the
day on fair demand by shorts, but
later the market weakened on general
selling.
The market for live hogs was weak.

MORAN BUYS
TROUSERS
Popular Fifth Ward Alderman Would
Go to Elk's Snow Ball Party and
Friends Attend to His Wardrobe for
Him-Pair Of Wonderful "Panties."

If Aid. NJ. J. Moran wears the pair
OF duck trousers to the snow ball
party to be given at the Elk's hall
tomorrow evening which he received
this afternoon by A. D. T. messenger,
many will be sorry that they were
not'sO fortunate as to receive an in
vitation for the pants in question are
indeed "fearfully and wonderfully"
made. The joke played upon the
popular Fifth ward alderman is too
good to keep.
1t seems that Mr.. Moran has been
urged by his wife and many friends
to attend this party but he hung out
because he is not much inclined to
Fix up" and the occasion calls for
duck trousers and white outing
shirts for the gentlemen. Finally he
was persuaded to consider the pro-
position and began to look around
for the proper outfit. Not pair of
pants in town could be found which
would fit the alderman who is a very
large man. His friend, Steve Collins
who enjoys joke about as we'll as
any one can, determined to fix him out
and nobly has he carried out his part
of the program. Calling up Mr..
Moran by phone last night and dis
guising his voice to represent that of
Scandinavian, Mr.. Collins represent
ed himself as tailor and inquired of
Mr.. Moran if he wanted a pair of
duck trousers for the party, saying
that he had one pair left and that they
would fit him. Eyes, yes, certainly"
replied the alderman with alacrity
for by this time he had made up his
mind to go and when Mr.. Moran
makes up his mind. we'll, those who
know him we'll require no further ex-
PLANTATION. A deal was made for the
trousers and they were to be sent up
today. They were-and the good
Lord help that messenger boy If Mr..
Moran opened the bundle before he
made his escape. Mr. Collins went to
Griffith the Third street tailor and
a pair of white cotton trousers was
cut and made with waist expansion
of at least fifty inches, the legs mar
rowing down to small opening at
the bottom about two inches. The
Evening Times man saw them and
they were 'corkers' to say the least.
Mr.. Moran is waiting this afternoon
in happy anticipation for the much
desired trousers. Mr.. Collins and sew
eral others who have been let in on
the joke are in the clear and the re-
porter who is writing this is going to
steal away after press time. But we
want the news, you know.

some time In their lives-their moral
natures are in abeyance-and If they
have formed correct habits, they will
be carried through by the force OF

formed questionable habits, they will

The Crookston council met last
night and decided on two important
matters. One of these was the ques-
ton of having fire marshal in that
city who would have complete control
of the protection of Crookston as re-
CARDS to fire. The matter was given
to committee to decide and it was
thought that the majority of the COM
mittee look upon the matter favorably.
The other was an ordinance which
was passed prohibiting boys under

TRANSCRIPT ARRIVES.
Bulky Manuscript for Jaryis.Bell
Case Here.

The long looked for transcript for
the Jarvis-Bell case arrived this
morning. The copy is very bulky be-
ing composed of 153 typewriter
pages for each attorney. This sec
ton of the transcript covers only the
last day of the trial, and the attorneys
already had received the transcript
OF the first two days of the case. For
ten days the legal lights of this city
with be busy looking up the law in
the case and preparing their argu-
ments. The verdict in the case will
probably be returned in time to de-
termine whether Jarvis will sit in
the February meeting of the rouncil
or not.
