PRECEDENT FOR SPALDING.
DECISION in PATTERSON CASE is
ss: SUPPORTED BY DECISION OF
SUPREME COURT TEN
YEARS AGO.

Fargo Forum: It. appears there is
precedent for the action OF Judge Spal-
ding of the supreme court, sitting at
Bismarck as committing magistrate
in the Patterson case. His denial of
the motion for a change Of venue
asked for by the attorneys Of Mr.. Pat
terson, it is stated, stands squarely In
a supreme court decision which sup
ports Judge Spalding.
It will be remembered that at the
time of the first fire festival in 1897,
that one William Berry was arrested
for operating a roulette wheel and
other gambling -evices and was land
ed in Jail. The prosecution was stren-
uous, and ultimately Judge Pollock sat
in the case as committing magis-5
trate The defense asked for a change
of venue and was denied by Judge
Pollock. The supreme court was
asked for a writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that Judge Pollock acted
without authority. The case was ar
gued before the higher court in cham
bers and the writ was denied, the
court holding that the statute relating
to change Of venue applied only to
justices Of the peace and not to judges
Of a court Of record. Berry remained
in jail. The case was not reported and
the only records are the papers in the
case on file in the supreme court at
Bismarck.

/. Why Paper Cuts.

Have you ever cut yourself with
piece Of paper? The edge Of piece of
glazed paper looks much like that OF q
knife under the microscope. OF course
the little teeth have not the strength
of steel, but If the edge Of the paper is
drawn swiftly over the finger without
much pressure that peculiar property Of
matter called inertia comes into play,
and the tender teeth will cut the flesh
before they are broken. The same prop
erty it is which allows a candle to be
shot through one inch plank or per
