appointive officials are clothed with
all the powers and duties in the en-
forcement of the prohibition laws pos
sessed by the sheriff whom the people
have, by their constitution, expressly
said shall be elected by them. The
same is true with reference to states
attorneys and the performance of their
duties.
If this can be done as to these con-
stitutional officers, and as to the en-
forcement of this particular statute, 1t
can be done as to all such officers and
the enforcement of all criminal stat
utes, and thus the cherished and care
fully guarded constitutional rights Of
local government would become a
mere mockery. We venture the asser-
ton that no American court ever up
held such a law"
In the general case the supreme
court holds that Judge Corliss has no
authority to go before the grand jury
on any Of the grounds claimed. Judge
Spalding, of the supreme court, dis
sents from the opinion with reference
to the temperance commissioner law.
The decision will abolish the Office
created by the last legislature and
held by George Murray of Sherbrooke.

HAUL HAY AS PENALTY.

According to c. l.. Zimmerman, vice
president of the First National Bank
of Mandan, who has just returned from
business trip to the Standing Rock
Indian reservation, an Indian judge
and jury rendered a remarkable decis-
ion in the case of an Indian who sued
another for the alleged alienation of
his wife's affections.
Mr.. Zimmerman says that the trial
lasted for an entire week and that
many witnesses were examined. After
due deliberation the jury decided for
the plaintiff and the judge sentenced
the defendant to haul eight loads of
hay. The husband, who made the
charge. was ordered to haul seven
loads of hay and the squaw was Or
dered to sit by the roadside and-keep
tally on the loads of hay as they
passed.
An Interpreter explained to MIR.
Zimmerman that the court, in passing
sentence, took the ground that If tho
husband had devoted more Of his at.
tention to making the home life Of his
squaw pleasant the woman would not
have allowed herself 10 be beguiled by

AssAILs WIFE's "PlG."
Helpn,eet Provides Cut-Rate Price, but
Refuses 70 Divide Profits.

A man who applied to Police Magis-
trate Ryan of Fargo for Il warrant for
the arrest of his wife on a charge of
"blnd pigging" is believed to be the
champion mean man. Judge Ryan re-
fuses to divulgc the mans name. but
gave the facts in The case as follows:
The applicant for tie warrant is Il
farmer living near here. According
to his story, he was in the habit OF
making daily trips to Moorhead. where
he would spend from so cents to 81
for liquor. He said that his wife OBJ
jected to this Oh the ground of OK
pcnse. and proposed that lie allow her
to purchase the liquor by wholesale
and sell it to him. She said that she
believed she ccnld sell it for 10 cents
Il drink instead of Is, and still make
money.
The farmer said that he looked with
favor upon the arrangement and it, was
carried out. and for several months
past the wife has been purchasing the
liquor and doing it out to the husband
at 10 cents per dole. Some weeks ago,
however, the man claims that he dis
covered that his wife had accumulated
quite a tidy sum of money by the ar
rangement, and lie Immediately as her
husband demanded Ii share OF the
profits of the business. This the wife
refused, and after quarrel she packed
her trunk and went to the home of her
father, nearby. He tried to induce her

HOW DID rHoRNE DEF
Mystery Surrounds Tragedy Of Red
River.

Mystery Surrounds Tragedy Of Red
River.
Did the fact that his wife was com
ing to Fargo cause Gustave NJ. Thorne
to commit suicide, or was it remark
able coincidence that he should meet
an accidental death the night before
her arrival? The coroner's jury did
not delve into the mysteries of his
death in their Investigations, but mere
ly returned verdict that he had died
of drowning.
Thorne's body was found in the Red
river Sunday morning by pair Of
youthful fishermen. An examination
of his body disclosed the fact that he
had $50 certified check, an express
order and some small change. Friends
were positive in their identification Of
the remains.
Thorne ran launch on the Red
river last summer and posed as an in
ventor. Recently he had been en-,
ployed as machinist at the Northern
Pacific shops.
His wife, who was unknown here
arrived in Fargo from Clinton, Iowa,
May Is, and was unable to find any
trace of her husband, who had disap
peared from his boarding house the
day before.
1t looks as though he had committed
suicide because Of her arrival, though
his death may have been accidental.
The fact that no money was taken
from his person is regarded as dis
crediting foul play, as was at first sus.
pected.
The deceased was about tllirty-eight
years of age and is thought to have
been a SWede.

TEMPERANCE LAW IS INVALID
North Dakota Has No Temperance Is Severe
in Condemnins the Law-M Violates the Peoples Rights.

The State of North Dakota has no
temperance commissioner, as the su.
preme court declared the temperance
commissioner law unconstitutional.
The decision followed as another chap
ter in the E. G. Patterson cases, in
which developments have followed
rapidly for several days. Patterson
was held to bail on four charges for
alleged violation of the prohibition
law.
A grand jury was called and Judge
Corliss Of Grand Forks, former state.
supreme court justice, was employed
by the county commissioners to assist
the states attorney in the presentation
of the cases before the grand jury
Judge Winchester, of the district court,
forbade Corliss to appear before the
grand jury, on the ground that the
statute provided that the states attor-
ney only should be admitted to the
grand jury room.
this order of the court for the purpose
OF making u test case before the SUI
preme court. lie was constructively
placed in Jail. Then he sued out writ
of habeas corpus, claiming the right to
go before the grand jury on three
counts; first, because he was assistant
states attorney under appointment;
second, because of his employment by
the county commissioners, and, third,
because he had been appointed as dep
uty temperance commissioner, under
the new law which gives the commits
sioner and his deputy all the powers
Of states attorneys.
Assistant United States District At
torney B. D. Townsend, who is appear
ing for r. G. Patterson, entered the
case in opposition to the contentious of
Judge Corliss, and made an attack on
the constitutionality of the temperance
commissioner law, holding that the
legislature could not delegate to an APP
pointive officer the rights which have
been delegated by the constitution to
the elected servants of the people. 1t
was on this ground that the supreme
court held the law unconstitutional,
and says in it's memorandum opinion
by Judge Fisk:
| 1.-The people in framing the constitu-
ton were careful to safeguard this
right in unmistakable language, by
providing in effect that certain public
duties should be performed by persons
elected by them, and among the pub
lie duties to be only thus performed
are those of states attorneys and sher-
IFS, and the courts of this country in
an unbroken line of authorities have
ever protected such rights and have
never hesitated, when occasion re-
quired it, to declare such legislation
null and void as being violative of
the fundamental principles of our re-
publican form of government.
"By the express provisions of the
law in question, it is enacted that the
enforcement commissioner, who is ap.
pointed and not elected by the people,
may, whenever in his judgment lie
thinks it necessary or advisable, ap-
point any number of so-called enforce
ment sheriffs in any. county of the
state, without even consulting the
wishes of the citizens of such county,
and even against their will, and such

The regular quarterly bulletin Of
Fargo college is out and is found to
contain much valuable information re-
garding the institution. The history
of the college. endowment and equip.
ment and the various student organi-
Zaiions connected with it are treated
in full. The course of study lin the
college, conservatory and preparatory
departments is given and the bulletin
closes with Il list OF the students and
summary Of the attendance.
Several changes which show that
the college Is in line with the foremost
educational institutions in the land
are noticeable.
The semester system. dividing the
school year into two terms. has been
adopted: and Il permanent schedule of
recitations is now published for the
first time.
While the work of the junior and
senior years is almost entirely elective,
the student is guided by related groups
OF studies from which to select, thus
making his course more symmetrical
and lessening the chances for whim-
steal choices. After he has chosen a
major subject one minor must be Sc
lected from three related subjects.
The cuts are fresh and attractive
and on the whole this is very credita.

North Dakota may we'll be proud of,
the more such institutions that main.

in the borders of any state the greater
inducements does that state offer TO
prospective settlers.
