Court at Dickinson.

The case of the Missouri Slope Land
& Investment Co. VS.. J. D. Halstead was
continued here on Monday. Mr.. Hal
stead applied for certain land in the
vicinity Of Beach in 1902, the value of
which he testified was about s. per acre
at that time and the same land he con-
siders worth three times that amount
now. Mr.. Halstead defaulted on his
notes, but testified on the stand
that he was prepared now to COM
plete them, with added interest. The
plaintiffs side of the case is that when
defendant recently discovered that the
land had advanced materially in price,
he sought to regain rights which he had
long since let pass from him. The court
took the matter under advisement.
Monday morning States Attorney Nc
Bride had several parties arraigned in
court. Geo. Miller and Geo. Buchanan,
charged with the murder of Brakeman
Carr, pleaded not guilty and appeared
without attorneys. Geo. Murray charged
with assaulting and robbing c. Siever-
gard of a watch and chain, also pleaded
not guilty, and VIM. H. Story, charged
with assault on the person of Felix Dill
ger, made a similar plea. He was &C
companied by L. A. Simpson as attorney
and is out on $3.50 bond. Victor Dorsey,
mixed up with horse stealing, pleaded
innocence. His attorney is L. A. Simp-
son, and it is rumored that there are
likely to be some startling disclosures
when the case finally comes up for trial.
There are now four charges against
Dorsey, the last complaint being sworn
to by one Reilly from the south. Cleve.
land G. Murphy denied that he stole the
horse from the Dickinson experiment
station. 1t is presumed that Attorney
Simpson will set up a plea of insanity in
this case. c. F. Merry appeared with
his attorney, w. c. Crawford, and
pleaded not guilty to the charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses. In
this particular case John Dolen is the
complaining witness. Merry is under
$500 bond.
The case of Dible vs.. Hanson was
argued and the motion to vacate order
previously made was disallowed.
Tuesday morning Judge Winchester
adjourned court to Dec. 3. He stated
that the adjournment now had been al
the request of local attorneys and he
should expect every n to be prepared
with all cases, on short notice, if need be
at the converting of court. The court has
dates that may conflict with the one
agreed upon here, and if SO another
Judge may be called in.

WOUNDS, BRUISES AND BURNS

BY applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets in, they may
be healed without maturation and in
about one-third the time required by
the old treatment. This is the greatest
discovery and triumph of modern
surgery. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an anti
septic and when applied to such inju-
ries, causes them to heal very quickly.
1t also allays the pain and soreness and
prevents any danger Of blood poisoning.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the i%nconveni-
ence and suffering such injuries entail.

CRIMINALS FIGHT
TO AVOID PRISON
SUPREME COURT GETS MANY
HENNEPIN COUNTY CASES.
Important Convictions Secured by Coun-
ty Attorney Are Reviewed by Higher
Tribunal Other Cases Pending in
Which Those Convicted Ask New
Trials Principles Of Law Involved.

Six convictions secured in the last
eight months by the county attorney IS
office, FIVE of them of more than usual
Importance OF interest, are now either
In the supreme court of the state or are
on their way. Five of the six cases
have attracted wide attention, and in
two cases the points involved are en-
tirely new in this state. In all cases
where the defendants have argued for q
new trial they have lost. In one case
the arguments are now being heard
before Judge Brooks, and another has
not yet come up.
The two cases now in the supreme
court are against e. O. Fellows, con.
victed in the district court on charge
Of grand larceny in the first degree,
and DR.. T. H. Bly,, convicted in con.
nection with the baby farm crusade
carried on last year by the county
attorney. Fellows is now in the penf
Tertiary and DR.. Bly, is out on bail.
Two other cases where motions fol
new trials have been denied are
against Emma Yates, convicted of ar
son, and Thomas Coleman, the private
detective, convicted of extortion.
Arguments are In progress, for a new
trial for DR.. Jacob F.. Force, convicted
of embezzlement of the funds Of the

company. A new trial in minor case
is to be asked for John Kilola against
whom sentence is pending on charge

ARTIST" LOCKED UP
ON GIRLS COMPLAINT

Accused of maintaining a fake ar

young girls, George Bonell is locked
up at Central station on two serious
charges, one for forgery and the other
for indecent assault. L.. --.s..s r. ~,
County Attorney Al J. Smith and
the police say that the scheme en-
On to his place is one Of the worst that
has como to their notice, and every
effort will be made to get him SEN
fenced to the longest possible term if
he can be convicted. FL.
According to the county attorney.
Bonellt had suite Of rooms in the
business district, and with the means
he had fitted them ApA to resemble the
studio of q reahsP arisian artist. His
next step, was to- insert an advertise
ment in a daily paper asking for young
women to pose for him. ii
= This advertisement was answered by
many girls, and Bonell is said to have
offered them good wages for their
with a brewing company for 1000 oil
paintings to be placed in saloons and
other drinking places. Every picture;
he said, must be different, thus requir.
ing new model for each painting.
After engaging the girls his demea.
nor changed, it Is said, and he began
Offering them insults at every turn
The matter was reported to the police.
In the meantime Boneu is said to
have attempted to pass check forged
on A. G.. Holmquist. He was arrested
by the East Side police on a forgery
charge, but when the other facts be-
came known to the police continu
ance of the case was asked until the
more serious charge could be investi

THIRD TROLLEY FOR AN0KA
FRANCHISE ASKED FOR ROAD ON
EAST SIDE OF RIVER TO CON-
Meet WITH COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
LINE.

Another proposition for bringing
Alnoka into trolley connection with
Minneapolis has appeared, and the
prospect of a line being opened imme-
diately are less promising than before.
B. j. Witte Of Anoka, who is believed
to represent outside interests, now
asks an exclusive ffty-year franchise
for an Anoka- Minneapolis line, all in
Anoka county. This line would con-
meet with the Columbia Heights line
and run up the east side Of the river
by way Of Fridley and Coon creek. ii
It is believed that interests that are
booming Columbia Heights are interest
ed in the Witte plan. Some Anoka
business men seem to favor the Anoka
county line, also, believing that it will
take more business to Anoka than the
Robinsdale, Osseo and Champlin, line.
A majority of the citizens are said to
favor the line on the Hennepin county
side, which traverses much richer and
better country than the Anoka side.
It is thought possible, also, that Mr..
W1tte may represent street railway in
terests. Mr.. Lowry is heavily inter-
ested In Columbia heights, thru which
the all-Anoka line would pass.
There is some discussions concerning
the ability Of the Mississippi bridge at
Anoka to stand streetcar traffic. The
bridge is 1,400 feet long and was built
more than twenty years ago.
