A strike is threatened in the Moor
head high school as the result Of the

the pride Of one boys heart, and an
equal quantity of fiery red hair from
the other M 9sSs
Superintendent Martindale is firm ii

STATISTICS
State Health Officer Calls Attention to
the Incomplete Records and Pens
atty for Negligence.

County Auditor Lewis has received
a circular letter from DIR. HI. II. Healy,
secretary OF the state board Of health
calling attention to the law pertaining
to the collection OF vital statistics
which was enacted In 1908. The law
has been almost a dead letter since its.
passage and now, it appears, the secre
tary of the state board of health is go-
ling to insist on, its strict enforcement.
The attention of County Auditor.
Lewis is called particularly to the Sec
tion pertaining to the notice Of births,s
and deaths by parents. The law pro-
vides that the county auditors shall
cause this section to be printed at least
four times during four, consecutive
weeks in January in the official county
newspaper Owing to the fact that
the month OF January 1906 is about
half over, this particular part Of the
law cannot be carried out. The section
is as follows: aa.
Where. no physician is employed, it.
shall be the duty OF the parents to give
notice to the proper officer within
whose Jurisdiction they reside, OF the.
births and deaths of their children, or
Iof the presence OF any infectious or.
contagious disease occurring within
their household, within twenty-four.
hours or three days if outside OF the
corporate limits of cities, towns or
villages as to births and deaths only,
Of such occurrence and the oldest per-.
son next OF kin, the keeper or other,
proper officer of every Workhouse,
poorhouse, reform school, jail, prison,
hospital, asylum, or other public or.
charitable institution, shall give like no
tice OF any birth, death, infectious or;
| the persons under his charge. Whoever
neglsots to give such notice within the,
period of twenty-four hours or three
days, if outside the Incorporated limits.
of cities, towns and villages as to.
births and deaths only: after the oc-.
currence of such BIRTH death or infecS
tious disease, shall upon conviction for
felt a, sum not to exceed $40, to be col-.
lected as other fines are collected by
law a s
| AS result of the non-enforceme1lt
of the law the vital statistic records in
practically every county in the state
are most incomplete and the fact has
been the source of considerable COM
plant recently The counties have
paid out considerable sum of money,
according to the provisions of the law,
in the collection of statistics which, be-
cause of the incomplete condition, are
considered practically of no value.
/ Although the. secretary OF the state
board Of health does not say so in his
lfcircular letter, it is a well known fact
that physicians have been very negli-
gent in reporting births and. deaths.
The law provides that a physician who
neglectst to give proper notice of such
occurrences as births and deaths shall
forfeit a sum not exceeding $50, upon
conviction.

THE MURPHY
HEARING
CASE AGAINST MIN0T
- MAN IS ON TRIAL
Preliminary Efforts at Securing q Jury
Has Been Commenced Though Little
, Progress Has Been Made-Long List
of Witnesses Subpoenaed. >

i. The famous Murphy case was COM
menced before Judge Pollock this morn
ing. Court was opened at the county
courthouse at 10 o'clock but an adjourn
ment was taken until IL o'clock when
court reconvened in the federal court
chambers. The case promises to attract
considerable attention and the court:
room at the county courthouse was con-
sidered too small to accommodate the
crowd of spectators. ~- '4- -,
Major Murphy arrived in the city this
morning and was greeted cordially by
a number Of his many friends in this
city. He appeared smiling.y confident
of the outcome Of the case in which he
is now figuring SO prominently. s
Major Murphys defense is being made
by Judge w. S. Lauder of Wahpeton,
Judge Palda of Minot and Barnett &
Richardson Of this city. To Judge Bar
nett fell the task of examining jurors and
he passed the first twelve for cause.
Up to late hour this afternoon John
Z. Green, who is the leading counsel
his examination of the jurors.
Mr.. Green will be assisted in the prose-.
cution by States Attorney McGee of
Ward county. The fact that Mr.. Nc
Gee and Mr.. Green appear together in
the case after the trouble which it is
reported the attorneys had recently oc-l
casioned some surprise. 1t was reported
yesterday that the attorneys were hard.
ly on speaking terms, but this morning
when the case was called they frequent
ly held confidential consultations. Ac-
cordng to a report which recently came
from Minot. Mr.. MeGee had reconsider
ed the appointment Of Mr.. Green as
assistant states attorney and the latter
had promptly resigned. &. ,4
1t appears that there have been two
criminal informationS filed against Ma
jor 'Murphya each charging forgery in
the third degree. In the case which
is being tried now, VIM. Crowder, road
overseer of the township OF Ross, ap-
pears as the complaining witness. In
the information it is specifically charg-
ed that the defendant forged the name
of Crowder to a road tax receipt
which he delivered to the Great North
ern Railway, Co.
1t appears that Major Murphy is au-
thorized by the Great Northern and
the 500 railway companies to pay road
taxes and that it has been his GUS
tom to distribute the work to farmers to
be done rather than pay the money.
The present actions grow out of one
transaction for the 500 company and
one for the Great Northern.
Among the witnesses in the city from
Ward county are County Treasurer J.
c. Mitchell, Deputy Treasurer A. C.
Nedrud, Clerk Of Court ]. E. Smith
and w. J. Dickinan OF Flaxton, who
will appear as the complaining witness
in the second case against Major Muir
ply.
But nineteen jurymen responded to
their names when court was opened
this morning. Judge Pollock explain
ed that he had excused number of
the venire on account of sickness. 1t is
not probable that much difficulty wilt
be experienced in securing jury,
however -. $50

COL. STEEN
MAY RESIGN
Report From the West Says the Ex-
Fargoau Has Decided to Quit Gov
ernment Job.

+ A report has reached Fargo to the
effect that Col Ike Steen would resign
as Indian agent at the Standing Rock
reservation in the near future The
report could not be confirmed but
many strings are already out with a
view of snagging the job if the colonel
does resign.
Colonel Steen resided in Fargo in the
early days. He was a policeman here
for time before accepting a position
at Bismarck. Later he moved to May
vile where he engaged in the real es-
tate business with great success. He
was colonel on the governors staff
and was reduced in rank when he ac-
cepted the position OF agent at Stand
ing Rock, the official title of that Of
fee being major.
Colonel Steen was appointed to his
present office little over a year ago
and the report that he was aout to
resign has caused considerable specula-
ton here.
