ORIGIN Of Cards.

The origin of cards lies far back in
the hidden antiquity of Asia, no record
so far having been found to unravel
the source. 1t was from the distant
Orient that cards, along with chess,
were first introduced into Southern
Europe, Spain and Italy, especially.
The earliest of these cards have been
lost, unfortunately, and no record of
them preserved. But in no way were
they even a suggestion of our present.

The Sultan of Morocco.

1t is not generally known that the
sultan of Morocco, with whom France
lis having so much trouble at the
present moment, has Frecnh blood in
his veins, for he is descended from a
Corsican girl, Davia Francheschini,
who was captured by Barbary pirates
in 1892. This fact may perhaps account
for the very strong leaning which
Abdul Aziz has for European ways.

BETRAYED BY A M
Ascending Bank Clerk Appears in
Police Court,

New York, July 6.-Chester B. Run
yam, the paying teller of the Windsor
Trust company, who is alleged to have
stolen $96,317 from that company. and
Mrs. Laura Carter, the woman who
betrayed his hiding place to the police
after he had given her a part of the
stolen funds, were %arraigned in police
court during the day. Runyan's spirit
appeared broken by the disastrous
outcome of his stealings and his de-
meanor was hopeless. He had passed
a sleepless night in the police station
and showed the effects of his worry
when subjected to the gaze of a curl
GUS crowd on his way to police head
quarters. Mrs. Carter bore her arrest
with nonchalance.
Runyan was arraigned on a charge
of grand larceny in having stolen S.
600. Mrs. Carter was charged with
receiving stolen property. Both waived
examination and were held for the
grand jury, Runyan in $4,000 bail
anc Mrs. Carter in $4,000 bail.
Neither Runyan nor Mrs. Carter were
able to give bail and they were taken
70 prison.

Of MURDER
Three Young Men Of WimbIe-
don Under Arrest.
PEACEFUL FARMER KILLED
Man Whom He Defeated In Friendly
Wrestling Match Is Accused
of the Crime.

Three young men OF Wimbledon
were taken into custody in Valley
City accused Of the murder of Lewis
Anderson, a Griggs county farmer.
The corone and the Valley City
peace officers went to Wimbledon on
receipt Of the news of the alleged
murder and held a coroner's inquest
AMI a post mortem examination. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict that
Lewis Anderson met his death by a
blow Or blows on the head by some
dull instrument in the hands of AL
bert Olson.
The story told at the inquest was
that Anderson was a peaceful and re-
spected farmer living in southern
Griggs county, and about t%hirty-two
years old. He went to Wimbledon
and was drinking. He met Olson in
a pool room and a good-natured
wrestling bout ensued in which the
dead man lost his temper and landed
on Olson's abdomen and put him out.
Olson, 1t was charged, swore he would
have revenge and made several decla-
rations during the evening that he
would get even with Anderson before
he left town." About IL o'clock An
derson and his hired man started to
get the team and go home. AS they
were passing the store Of Moore
Brothers, it is alleged, they we're set
upon by Olson and two companions,
Ed Scott and Frank Baeher, who
beat them with clubs, and so badly
handling the hired mar that he was
unconscious for two hours. The body
of Anderson was found a half mile
from the cen of the alleged fight.
1t is thought that either he walked
that distance after being beaten or
that he was carried there by his as
sailants.

the ownership or operation of any re-
hnerles outside of the state OF New
Jersey he knew nothing of it.
From other witnesses Judge Lands
derived the information that the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
is the owner of a large proportion Of
the stock of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana, which was recently
convicted of rebating in connection
with the Chicago and Alton railroad.

INQUIRY WILL BE MADE.
To See If Publication Of Liquor Ads
Is Illegal.

States Attorney ]. B. Wineman Of
Grand Forks states that in his opin-
ion the law prohibiting the soliciting
Of sales of liquor within the state Of
North Dakota applies to the publica-
tion Of advertisements of liquor con-
Germs in the daily and weekly news
papers of North Dakota. According
to his view the advertising of liquor
Is soliciting business and is on a par
with lottery advertisements, which
have been barred from the newspa-
pers. He will look up the question
thoroughly and If he decides the cir
culation of the liquor advertisements
in the press Of the state is contrary to
law will proceed accordingly.
The question is a most important
one. At the present time the liquor
concerns are unable to send agents
through the state on account of the
new law in effect July 1 and it is
necessary to use circulars and the
state press. Quite a little space has
been taken of late, the list including
newspapers that have heretofore
barred this kind of advertising.

WILD SCENE N COURT
Crowd Cheers Madly When Mayor
Schmih Is Sentenced.
DEFENDANT MAKES PROTEST
Interrupts Judge to Object to Deliver

%nouncina Sentence.

San Francisco, July 8.-Mayor Eu-
gene E. Schmitz, convicted of extor-
ton, was during the day sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary. When
the sentence was pronounced there
was a remarkable outburst Of applause
from the hundreds of persons who
crowded Judge DUNES courtroom.
AS the last words of the sentence
fell from the judges lips the great
crowd that had stood during the dra-
matte scene sent up a thunderous
cheer.
Good for you," shouted a man in
the back of the Dol His ejaculation
was echoed and re-echoed by one
after another of the spectators. Sew
eral threw their hats into the air and
others scrambled upon chairs to l9Qk
W. the shoulders of the crowd. The
greatest confusion prevailed. Attor-
ney Fairall, Of the defense, raising his
voice above the din, called out to
Judge Dunno:
your honor, this cheering is a very
unseemly occurrence"
WELL" retorted Judge Dunno with
spirit, eff we had a sheriff worthy of
the name it would have been stopped
Instantly"
Without Parallel in Court.
The sentencing of the convicted
mayor was in one respect without a
parallel in court. Half a dozen times
Judge Dunno was Interrupted by
Schmitz, who protested in strong
words against the delivery Of a lee
ture instead Of the pronouncement Of
judgment" He accused the court of
unnecessarily humiliating him and
giving opportunity for further humil-
iation by the reporting Of his remarks
in the press. Once, replying to the
prisoner, Judge Dunno said:
Such brazen %effrontery vas prob
ably no more than should be expected
and it is the duty of the court to bear
it in patience"
At another time Attorney Metson of
the defense %interposed a vigorous OBJ
lection in support of his client Ito
the courts lecture" Judge DUNES
reply was that Mr.. Nelson, instead of
interrupting the proceedings, ought to
be given a day in court to answer the
charge that he had attempted to tam
per with the jury that convicted
Schmitz. Metson, restraining him
self, calmly answered in the same
spirit, saying that he was ready to
answer any charge that was made
against him. Judge Dunno warned
Metson that another interruption
would provoke a Jail sentence for con-
tempt.
