Matter May Be Settled.

The matter of the payment of fines
and forfeitures to the state treasury
of the state of North Dakota by Grand
Forks county, which has been a long
time pending, will probably be settled
by the commissioners and th. state
officers. States Attorney Wiremau
has held that the cost of trial to the
county should be deducted from all re-
mittances to the state. by the county
of fines and forfeitures. The state has
never made demand for this since 1899
but it his recently been dug up by the
auditor in a report to the governor.
The state has the right to demand the
entire sum of all fines and forfeitures,
under strict construction of the law
and they can force it's remittance. 1t
is probable. that some settlement will
be reached between the state and coun-
ty in the nature of a compromise.

BLOCK SYSTEM TO.
Be INSTALLED BY
THE G. n.
Officials Consult at Minot and
System Goes in From Lari-
more to Minot.

F. B. Kelsey, train master, and N.
Nicholson, superintendent of the Great
Northern Dakota division, are back
from Minot where they went to
conference of the officials of the CEN
tlal district of the Great Northern
system, on Wednesday of this week.
The result of the conference is that
the block system of handling trains
on the Great Northern railroad will
be installed between Larimore and
Minot. This is the first innovation
to be made by the Great Northern in
this direction and the section of
track between Larimore and Minot
was selected as it has the greatest
traffic on the system.
The block system is in vogue in the
east and some of the western roads
have adopted it but as general thing
it is new in the west. Under the sys-
TEN, the Great Northern will have a
day and night telegraph operator at.
each station point between Larimore
and Minot. AS soon as q train enters
a block-the distance between opera
tors-from either way, the signals are
all turned against any other train, and
they cannot enter that block. 1t gives
the train the sole right to the block
and the moment 1t enters, the operator
wires to the next station and sets his
signals, showing that the block is
closed from that end. The agent at
the next station on receipt of the
telegram, sets his signals and closes
the block from that end. Wrecks
from trains meeting head on or in
q telescope. is practically impossible.
Each station has high semaphore,
Il big signal displayed from an ele-
waited position over the station, and
these control the blocks. opening or
closing them. The system will be in
stalled at once.

Z: EAST SIDE NEWS I:
CITY WON THE CASE.
IN THE SUPREME
COURT
Suit of Long Standing is Final
ly Settled and City is Ahead
as a Result.
as 3 Result.

Especial to The Evening Times.l
st. Paul, March 2.-rhe supreme
court of Minnesota filed their decision
today affirming the order of Judge
Watts in the case of the city of East
Grand Forks vs. Herman Luck. This
case was started, in the municipal
court of East Grand Forks last April
to recover of Herman Luck SIS and
interest for light furnished to R. j..
ODowd, former proprietor of the
Great Northern hotel, Herman Luck
being the owner of the premises. The
action was brought under section 293
of chapter of the laws of 1895 which,
when made applicable to this case,
reads as follows: "The owner of
private property, which property has
upon it wires connected with the city
light works, to convey electricity
thereto, shall, as we'll as the lessee of
the premises, be liable to the city for
the rents and rates of all electricity
from said light works used upon said
premises, which may be recovered in
an action against such owner, lessee
or occupant, or against any or either
of them"
In the municipal court, the defend
ant demurred to the complaint upon
the ground that it did not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause of ac-
ton, and this demurrer was sustained
by Judge Sullivan. The city then ap-
pealed to the district court on ques-
tons of both law and fact, and Judge
Watts overruled the demurrer. and
from this order the defendant ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
Upon the latter appeal, the main
questions argued by the defendant
We're Q That sections 291 and
293 of chapter of the laws of 1895,
lin SO far as the attempt to create
personal liability of the owner of
premises for electric lights furnished
to others thereon are unconstitutional
and void in that they provide for talk
ing of appellants property without
due process of law" and (2) that the
provisions of the 1895 law referred to
cannot be made applicable to electric
light plants.
The decision of the supreme court
today afirms the order of Judge Watts
holding, in effect, that the owner of
premises situated in the city of East
Grand Forks is liable for all electri-
city furnished on those premises
whether furnished to the owner him
self or to any other person who may
be occupying those premises, such as
tenant. Judge Elliott filed a dis
senting opinion.
F. G. Massee and G. A. E. Finlayson
conducted this case through all the
courts for the city; H. A. Bronson and
D. T. Collins representing Mr.. Luck.

To Locate at Fargo.

Fargo Call: MIR. and Mrs. Sam Nc
Donald of Seattle arrived In the city
a few days ago and may conlude to
make their home here. Mr.. Mcdonald
was formerly in the drug business at
Grand Forks and later removed to
Seattle. 1t is probable that he will
become associated with Messrs. Hal
lenberg and Bentson in the Waldorf
and Eagle drug stores ON Front street
and in that event he will probably
take charge Of the Eagle store, for
merly known as the Tenney store.
When Messrs. Hallenberg and Bent
Son secured possession of the two
stores some time ago, the association
of Mr.. Mcdonald in the deal was con-
templated. Mr.. Hallenberg is manag-
ing both stores at present, Mr.. Bent
son continuing on the road.
