NOVEL CASE HEARD
N JUSTICE
COURT
Ole Solamanson Held to the
Action of the District
Court For
GIVING AWAY LIQUOR
He and Another Boy Friend
Had Over Indulgence
Together. j

A rather novel case has been heard
by Justice Church and by him sent
up to the district court. The charge
is the giving of liquor to minor, the {.
young man being Ole Solamanson, the
son Of we'll to do and respected
farmer. The young man seems to have !,
been the victim of innocent circum.-
stances in a way. A few days ago
one of his friends and himself while,
in town procured small amount OF
liquor and drank it between them. A.
few days later they did the same
thing and unfortunately the other boy
got too much and warrant was
sworn out for the arrest of young Sal
amanson, and he was bound over to
the district court. He gave bond for
his appearance before that tribunal
and the case was continued to await
the return of his father who is away
from home at this time. The whole
affair seems to have been rather the
over-indulgence in boyish thought
lessness and a desire to do the pleas
ant thing by friend.

FOOD INSPECTOR IS HERE
E. B. Helberg, Of Montevidee, Mimi,
Talks . ure Food Matters.

E. b. Heiberg of Montevideo. Mimi,
state food inspector, was In the city
yesterday. he having been engaged in
the work OF looking after pure food
matters on the East Side Of the river.
He is enthusiastic over the magnifi-
eient' work being. done by Prof. Ladd
of North Dakota, and says that a few
such men in charge Of the work will
soon drive all the impure food vendors
out Of business. Occasionally North
Dakotan sends some food across the
river that is not permitted to be sold
under the Minnesota state law and
then the two commissioners work in
harmony and they have almost OBJ
liberated the evil. Mr.. Heiberg be-
heves that q great amount Of good will
come from the national food inspec-
ton law, as that will reach the only
places now where the state laws are
not available-the shipping of adulter-
ated foods across the state lines.

WATER N PEMB|MA VERY HIGH
Professor E. F. Chandler Returned
Last Night from River Gauging
Trip In Pembina County.

Professor f. F. Chandler returned
last night from a short river gauging
trip up the Neche line. Mr.. Chandler.
has charge of the steam measurements
and steam gauging in this section of
the state and also in portions of Min
nesota and makes a trip to every
locality about once q fortnight. On
the trip just concluded the professor
gagged the water in the Pembina river
near Neche and found the river at a
very high stage. This can be expect
ed. however, with the heavy rainfall
of the summer.
The Park river flowing through
the city of Grafton is not up to its
usual height and near the railroad
bridge there is no water at all. This,
is probably due to the shifty character
Of the soil and to the fact that the city
and the railroads use the water for
commercial purposes.
The water in the Red river is at
about the usual stage thought slight
ly higher than year ago.

There has been considerable talk in

until the latter port Of the month. It
has now been officially ascertained
that the tern, will begin on tho goth

The reason for the alleged post

there would not be enough time for

IMPURE FOOD SOLD TO MERCHANT
Hey West, Minn- Merchant Fined for
Selling Impure Food-Blames
Grand Forks Wholesaler.

The Minnesota food inspector, Hell
berg, has just finished a prosecution
at Crookston In which a Grand Forks
merchant or wholesaler is mixed up.
The etorekeeper prosecuted for. the
sale OF impure foods resides at Key
West. little town about fourteen
miles east of the city. in Minnesota.
AZ this merchant is hardly to blame.
for the selling of impure food his
name will be withheld. His fine
amounted to about $50.
1t is said that North Dakota whole
salers ship goods into Minnesota
which will not stand the North Da-
kota laws. at least this is the state
ment Of Inspector Heiberg who also
states that he is going to watch the
border towns and do all he can to
enforce the pure food law.

R|GATGUARD OUGGAh BARRED
University Faculty Drops the Ak on
Members Of Football Squad.

At meeting of the athletic COM
mittee Of the university held Thurs
day, Oct. IS, presided over by Presi-
dent Merrifield. the following resolu-
ton was unanimously recommended
to the general faculty for adoption.
namely:
Resolved. that hereafter no student
shall represent the university on any
athletic team in games with teams OF
other educational institutions of the
state, unless he shall already have
been in attendance at the university
at least two full terms. and unless
during the last two terms of his at
tendance he shall have carried an
average of twelve hours clean work
weekly with passing mark.
On top of this comes the announce
ment that the faculty has barred Right
Guard Duggan who played against
Wisconsin Saturday. it being claimed
that he is taking the same subjects
that he had at St. Thomas college
last year.
The trouble is said to originate with
several evangelistic members of the
faculty who hate to see football at
tracing more attention that studies.
Some interesting developments are
looked for.

BAD. BOYS GIVEN CEMsURE
Cashed Check for $1.es in Local Bank
Check Belonged to Other
Party.

Four small lads living in East
Grand Forks cashed a check yester-
day In the First National bank in this
city and it was afterwards discovered
that the check did not belong to them.
The lads were rounded up later in the
day by the police and taken to the
east side Jail. They were given bad
scare and it is not thought that they
will ever again attempt to cash
check not belonging to them. The
boys were two Sloan lads and two
Ness boys. The Sloan boys found
the check and succeeded in getting
the other two to join them in the
cashing. They then came across to
the local bank where they represented
that their mother had sent them over.
The bank officials questioned them
closely but they stuck to the story
and the check was cashed. The boys

The eastern railroads have discon-
