WEIGHMASTER
FOR CITY
And City Scales May Be Installed
Movement is Being Made to Secure
This Improvement.


There is a well-defined movement
among the people of Grand Forks to
secure an official weighmaster and
city scales. such as the city maintains
in Crookston and other neighboring
towns. There is a movement on foot
in certain quarters which will shortly
take the shape of an ordinance to be
introduced into the city council,
granting authority to create the office
of city, weighmaster and scaler of
weights and measures, and to estab-
fish city scales.
The duties of the weighmaster
would be to weigh all commodities
brought to him and issue his certifi-
cate of weight, 1t would not mean
that people would have to use the
scales If they did not see fit, but IL
they desired to know what they were
getting in the way of weights, for the
small sum of 10 cents a certificate OF
weight could be obtained. In most
cities where they have the public
scales. people demand city weight of
coal, hay, ETC., before they will buy
of a firm. They are willing to pay 10
cents to know what they are getting,
but generally the dealer pays the toal
for weighing.
The city scaler of weights and meas
ures is usually the weighmaster, and
it is his duty to test all scales, bal
ances, weights, etc., in use in the
places of business OF the city No
person is allowed to use such scales,
weights, ETC., without they bear the
stamp of the scaler of weights and
measures. The same applys to all
measures in use in the city.

months in advance of the ordinary

middle of March, Judging by past sea-
sons, but the inquiries are coming in

continues by the time the regular sea-

CONSIDERABLE SPECULATION.
As to the Outcome of the Bell.Jaryis
Case Is Being Carried On.

The outcome of the Bell-Jarvis case,
which will be decided the first part
OF February by Judge Watts, is caus-
Ing considerable speculation. It is
reported that one prominenk saloon
keeper offered to bet $500 that Jarvis
would be ousted, and when the bet
was taken up by follower of Jarvis,
quickly backed down. The case has
been a most interesting and sensa.
tional one and the result is eagerly
looked for by the public in general.
The manuscript for the attorneys
mas not arrived yet and the decision
IN the case will be put off for every
day that the arrival is DELAYED. The
papers were expected to arrive Mon
day, but on account of some unayoida-
Bile delay have not come yet. The at
torneys expect the papers tomorrow

The commission of Hugh Quigley

paper, was appointed deputy sheriff
for the west end of the county, was
yesterday signed by Judge Watts and
MIR. Quigley will start his duties in
the new capacity this morning. He
was In the city sometime ago and at
that time signed his commission but
not till it was signed by the judge
OF the district court could he start to
serve.
By the officials at the court house
he is recognized as being one of the
most efficient officers in this line. He
has had much experience in the police
work which is very much the same.
By the appointment papers can be
served in that city without sending
for a deputy here and he can also
bring the thirty day men over which
is quite a job in itself.-Crooksto

OF
OWNERS

Law UOtcTuluS Ere Escapes Makes
Them Responsible for Death or In.
: jury-Feature Not Considered Re.
fore.
There is one feature of the law OF
the state relative to the matter of fire
escapes and other fire safety protec-
ton, which has been overlooked in
the notices given the public from time
to time by the press of Grand Forks.
States Attorney Wineman points out
that the law makes the owner respon-
sible for the injury to life or limb in
any fire if his building does not COM
ply with the law in these respects.
For instance, if fire was to break
ont in local hotel and life was lost
or people injured, the proprietor
would be liable to suit for damages
and in the case of death, in any sum
the jury might fix upon. Not only
this, he is liable to prosecution for
manslaughter under the criminal law.
Viewed in this light, the matter of
fire protection becomes one of none
tary interest to the owners of build
ings. 1t means great risk to them
to allow their buildings to remain out
side the requirements of the law.

The Grafton man was off at the
pistol first in each heat, but was soon
overhauled by his rival. In the first
heat Schumacher passed him in tho
third lap and came in a winner by a
full lap. This heat was skated in 1880.
The second heat was similar story,
J, time 1882.
The ice was exceptionally hard and
corner work difficult on account of
this fact. The rink is little narrow

break at all times.
A race between J. s. johnson of this

know the men are anticipating good
event. Johnson defeated Schumacher
three years ago and is conceded to be
fast one. He has had no acceptance
of the challenge recently made and
the forfeit of $50 left with Joe Isaacs,
the well known cigar man, is still I'M

of the opinion that if the race is ar
ranged another story will be told at

weather the crowd at the rink last
evening was not very large, though a
goodly sprinkling of devotees of the
sport were there, muffled to the ears
but full of enthusiasm.
Schumacher is a popular fellow with

to over-estimate himself. There are
good things in store for the boy if he
takes care of himself and falls into the
