AFTER YEARS
Comrade Haley Of Devils Lake
Reunited to Companions of
War Days.

Peter Haley, a prominent Devils
Lake citizen, machinery dealer, Wis
tied in Grand Forks today enroute
home from the G. A. R. convention in
Minneapolis, the pleasure of which, he
says, was spoiled, through the sud-
den and unexpected death by apoplexy
of an old army comrade, Jas. H. Burke,
with whom he had just been reunited
after an absence of forty-three years.
With Mr.. Haley was Comrade Will
liam H. Wilson of Topeka, Kan, who
besides being a veteran is a thirty
third degree Mason, Scottish Rite, and
Knight Templar. Mr.. Haley, Mr..
Wilson, their deceased comrade, Mr..
Burke, who dropped dead on Tuesday
in the Pauley house, Minneapolis, and
Lansing Woodwork of Minneapolis all
enlisted in the bath New York in
fantry at the opening of the civil war
and until this week in Minneapolis
none of the four had seen each other
since their discharge. Naturally the
sudden death of their comrade threw
a weight of gloom over the party and
none of them took part in the parade.
Comrade Wilson of Topeka goes to
Devils Lake to complete the reunion.

W|NEMAN RECEIVES
A LETTER FROM
POLLOCK
Asking as to Success Of En-.
forcement of Prohibition
Law in the County.

County Attorney Wineman yesterday
received letter from Judge Pollock
of Fargo making inquiries into the
prohibition problem in this county.
Five years ago when the prohibition
question was under consideration in
Mississippi Judge Pollock received a
request for information as to the work.
ings Of the law in this state and in
order to secure a comprehensive re-
port he sent letters similar to the one
received by Mr.. Wineman, to the dis
trict court judges.
This year it Is Oklahoma that wants
the information and Judge Pollock has
addressed his queries to the county at
torneys in North Dakota and Is now
receiving replies from which he will
make report to the Oklahoma people.
The questions sent out by Judge Pol
lock are as follows:
Is the law generally observed In
your county? If not wholly, to what
extent?
If not generally observed, has there
been during recent years tendency
toward a better enforcement of the
law?
What is the general sentiment with
reference to the practicability of con-
trolling the liquor traffic by the prohi-
bitory principle. rather than by
license?
Is public sentiment changing, either
for or against the law?
What effect, If any, does the law
seem to have upon the increase or de-
crease of crime?
What effect does it appear to have
upon the young people, most of whom
were born since the law went into
effect?
Do your people want a change, and
are they favorable to resubmission of
the question to the people for another

Nav Take Trim Later.

1t was the intention of a party of
five or six golfers of this city to have
gone to Winnipeg this evening and
spend the balance of the week on the
Winnipeg links, but owing to the fact
that 1t is impossible to secure Pull
man accommodations on the night
train by way of Crookston. it is more
than likely that the trip will be post
poned till later date. 1t will be re-
membered that a number of Winnipeg
players were here last week testing
the skill of our Grand Forks men, and
a return match at Winnipeg was de-
cided uDOn.
