GENERAL STAND|SH
STRIKES A BIG
FORTUNE
Lands in Missouri Estimated
By Experts to Be Worth
$5OO,O0O.

Gen. w. H. Standish returned this
morning from Missouri, where he went
on matters relating to his landed in
terests in the southwestern part of
that state. The holdings of General
Standish there are those which for
merly belonged to L. B. Anderson of
this city, and have not been consider
ed particularly valuable until recent
ly. BY having the James and
White rivers in Stone and fancy coun-
ties of that state declared unnaviga-
BILE streams, by cutting canal one Of
the greatest water powers on the con-
tinent can be developed. 1t is the
judgment of the city electrical engi-
neer of Kansas City, who has inspect
ed the proposition for General Stand
ish. that the property owned by the
general is worth at least half a mil
lion dollars.
General Standish prepared bill and
briefs of testimony and other refer
ences relative to the matter and saw
the United States senators of Missouri
on his way home. They promised to
see the measure through congress at
this session. The following is the
preamble to the bill:
For an act to declare that part of the
White VII 81 river In Stone county, Missouri
Missouri, which lies between the juno
ton of the, James and White rivers in
end Of Clover Leaf bend. in the he Write White
Man ss senRs 49, wsss TO aG Ss
erafe so It can be used to
state laws Of Nilsson Missouri s' IN such case ase
made and provided.
1t is the purpose of General Standish
to cut off big bend in the river by
means of tunnel and ditch and Sc
cure fall Of some 100 feet. This will
give him an enormous water power.
The surrounding country is rich in
minerals aud needs the power. He
proposes to transmit it in the nature
of electricity to the points needed: He
has had the opinions of experts and
they believe that it will be a most val
liable property. 1t will be the>site Of
a large town as soon as the ditch is
finished and the factories established.
The value of the power for the purpose
of transmitting is enormous 1t will
mean that General Standish is very
rich man if present plans materialize
The land is also valuable for it's ma
tive minerals, copper and zinc having
already been found. General Standish
is being congratulated today by his
friends over his prospective good for
tune.

Ryan. 1t would seem tilt on the.
morning before the fire. the. water
pipes leading in from the bas1ment
mad frozen up and Mr.. Ryan had gone
down into the basement sand set fire
to,a straw bottle cover whichihe used
to thaw out the pipes. Mr.. Ryan re-
marked at the time that ii wis dan
gerous work, as the sill under the
house, between the main house and
the back kitchen, was rotted and very
dry and that it might be possible for
spark to take lodging in the rotted
timber and shoulder, for SOME time
before it would be discovered or pos
sihy break out during the night Mrs.
Ryan had gone down the basement
later in the day and had smelled
smoke, but she thought IL: was from
the burning Of the straw cover and
never gave the statement of Mr.. Ryan
the first thought. From the position
of the fire at the first outbreak, It
would seem that this theory clears up
the mystery pretty well.

The class in shopwork are having
considerable trouble in welding steel.
The Engineers official colors are
yellow and black, the same as were
used In the; decorations at the Junior

The courses in mechanical drawing
are becoming SO popular that several
large desks had to be recently added
to the equipment.
The Physics class listened to a lee
ture yesterday on the different phe-
nomena connected with induced cur
rents.
At present the machine. shop is kept
busy assembling large dean steam

MOOT COURT
CASE
snit Brought to Recover for Funeral
Expenses Incurred in Burying Mans
wife-Law Students Have Lively
Fight Over Hypothetical Case.

Among. the important cases that
have been argued before the Moot
court of the U. N. D. law school during
the past week is the case Of Aaron
Lee vs.. Thomas Gray. The action was
brought by Aaron Lee against Thomas
Gray to recover money expended for
funeral expenses Of the defendants
wife who died while travelling abroad.
The plaintiff, Lee. buried her and in
CURED all the expense. Her husband,
Thomas Gray. refused to reimburse
the plaintiff, who then brought suit
Murphy & Rudolph appeared for the
plaintiff, while samson B Deeter APP
peared for the defendant.
Attorney Samson filed demurrer %
the complaint on the ground that 1t did
not constitute a cause Of action mas
much as the plaintiff was d mere vol.
aunteer, and could not recover for mere
voluntary services. The demurrer,
was duly argued and Judgment Has
given in favor Of the plaintiff With
costs. subsequently defendants at
5torneys moved to vacate Judgment IN,
the ground that 1t was irregular on
its face and not supported BY the
Spleadings. The motion was allowed
! and the action for costs is still pend
ing 81 3.3; a! Y II 81.
The seniors on Friday made prepar-
ations to begin criminal cases. The

dents Of the University College of Law.
But there is one proposition upon
which they are united land 1t Is that
the library space is altogether toe, In
efficient. The law school library. is the
most complete library to, be found
west OF the twin cities, not even ex-
Guiding the splendid library in some of
the coast cities. It is a deplorable
fact that the state cannot afford
proper room for the display and use
of such voluminous array Of valuable
books.

RECEIPTS ARE
NOTES
Northwestern Farmers Taken in by
Smooth Swindler-Signed Receipts
for Patent Medicines Which Turned
Out, to be Notes.

Out, to be Notes.
Through suit brought recently it
has been revealed that a number of
farmers both on the Minnesota and
Dakota side, have been victimized by
smooth swindler who made a trip
through here last September
The man called upon number of
farmers, representing that he had
sure cure for lumpy jaw in cattle. He
would leave a sample package of the
remedy with the farmer, taking the
latter's receipt and making the farm
err the agent for the patent medicine.
A few weeks later the farmer would
receive consignments of goods of
various kinds, and still later a bill
for the same. One farmer received a
bill for $14S, which he refused to pay
and suit was brought to recover the
amount.
During the trial it developed that the
supposed receipt for the, sample pack
age was a cleverly written promis-
sorry note, and in addition an order
for large amount of medicines, such
as barbwire liniment, heave cure, con-
Gition powders, egg producers, calf
dehorners, SPAWN cure, etc.
1T is not known how many were VIC
timized by the swindle, as many of
them have quietly raid. the bills pre-
sented> to them rather than face the
publicity and notoriety which would
follow resistance of the claim.

GREENWOO
is FREE
Judge Sullivan Dismfsses Charge Of.
Assault and Battery Against Him
Made by Lamin, the Jew-Story Of
the Trouble.

the Trouble.
The much talked about case against
Bob Greenwood for assault on one
Lamin, a fishmonger, was heard by
Judge Sullivan in municipal court this
morning The story of Lamin was
that he went to Greenwood's house in
the course of business and tried to
sell some fish, and that thereupon
Greenwood assaulted him and after
closing his eyes to the light of day,
was prevented from doing further
farm by the appearance of Mrs.
Greenwood and Greenwood's sister
who happened to be there on a>visit.
Greenwood and the women all swore
that the Jew struck the first blow,
though all agreed that Greenwood was
removing his coat to go about the
thing in shape. The origin of the trou-
BILE seems to have been a sale of what
Greenwood claimed were spoiled fish
sold him by Lamin about a year ago,
and when he attempted to make an
other sale Greenwood ordered him to
leave the premises and prepared to
enforce his order with muscular ar
tillery. The appearance of Mrs.
Greenwood and her sister-in-law caus-
ed a suspension of hostilities and
transferred the trouble to the judicial
bosom of the court, who after hearing
the evidence. dismissed the charge.

Law School Notes.

After a few deep breaths the faculty
decided to give the school a day OFF on
February %. Those students that at
tended the Junior Prom. were in much
need of relaxation owing to the siren
uosity of the evening, many were all
'insky."
Among the law students who at
tended the North Dakota Manitoba de-
bate were Fred McCurdy, Will Hutch
inssn and Will Husband.
Noble and Lemery secede from the
"Filomathian" society. Burnett and.
Thomson are confined in the bastile
amid weeping, wailing, and knashing
of teeth.
J. e. Totten, a graduate of 1905,
visited the school Friday and extend.
ed the glad hand to many of the fell
lows. Mr.. Totten will be remembered
at the University as the winner of the
local oratorical contest in 1904. He
Is now practicing in Mayville, and
made the boys smile when he told that
he was doing we'll and had case be-
fore the Supreme court.
Owing to the absence of Attorney
Skulason the class in Common car
riers has had short breathing spell.
Among the old law students who re-
turned to take in the Junior Prom,
was our genial friend Victor Warl-
rope. Vic brings with him long tale
of success in his practice at Leeds.
He was popular in the university, and
is just as popular in his community.
A cordial invitation is extended TO
all law students to attend a card
party to be given Feb. 26 by the Rath-
bone Sisters. The entertainment will
be given in the X. P. hall.
