HERE SATURDAY
PETER ANDERSON Of CRYSTAL, n. D.
WAS IN CITY SATURDAY and
ORGANIZED A. Sc.

Peter Anderson Of Crystal, N.
d., was in the city Saturday and
organized an American Society of
Equity. The meeting was held in
the court house and was attended
by numerous citizens of Williston
and several farmers. The society
is one for the benefit of the
farmers and one which is working
for dollar wheat. Owing to this
being a very busy time with the
farmers very few were. able to at
tend. Mr.. Andrews gave an ex-
cellent talk and explained to the
people why they should organize
and explained that they should
work along the lines suggested by
President Roosevelt, Senntor Nc
Cumber and others. After the
address local organization was
perfected and officers elected.
Delegates were also elected to at
tend the county convention to be
held sometime in the near future.

strange effect on many of them as
it seem ed to change their testimony
entirely and by what seemed to
be a system of careful coaching
making up the semblanae of a
case. So remarkable were their
srunts in this particular and so ac-
rybatic the testimony given that it
called forth the remarks on the
part of dis-interested persons
. are such thing permitted in the
courts, Can such rottenness
prevail, Is it allowed"?, etc.
The verdi ct rendered gives gen
eral satisfaction and is one that
commends itself to those who are
familiar with the case and is a
singing rebuke to the deplorable
methods used on behalf of the in
dian half breed.
Mr.. Watson of Fargo and Mr..
Knauf of this city represented
Mrs Hedderich as her attorneys and
d. G. Page of this city and Palda
& Burk of Minot represented the
indian. Further proceedings in
this case will be watched with
interest.

GOVERNOR SARLES A WINNER

Governor Sarles, Geo. New
tons fast PAGER won another race
Saturday by walking away with
the $1,000 purse at the State Fair
at Grand Forks. The time was
not as fast as usual owing to the
fact that there was heavy rain
Saturday afternoon which made
the track very heavy. Governor
Sarles, however, showed the people
that he was as good in the mud as
on the best of tracks and was an
easy winner.

.MIN0T FAT men
EASY WINNERS
MAYOR GREENLEAFS BUNCH OF HEAVY
WEIGHTS HAD EASY VICTORY IN
GAME WITH WILLIST0N FATS

| There was simply nothing to
the game Sunday. 1t was a walk
away for those heavy sluggers
from Minot. They came up here
with loaded bats and the way they
slugged the ball wasen't slow. We
believe that they put several balls
out of commission. The score at
the finish was something like
eleven to twenty-seven. The Mi
not players looked finer than silk
in their bran new suits. They
did not help to make them look
any smaller either. In the Minoti
team there was Colcord and
Tracy, regular Siamese twins,l
George McGee, X. E. Leighton,
Pete Vandenover. John Burke,
James Dwyer, Prescott and Stod--
dard. Williston played the. fol-t
lowing heavy weights; Shuttle-l
worth, Cook, Dougherty, Hobbins,
Delaney, Bousliman, II. vi
Smith, Mackenroth, Whitehead
and John Bruegger. 1t has beenj
suspected for some time that H.
G. Delaney, John Bruegger and
H. V; Smith had, earlier in life
been in the circus line of business
but the people had no proof until
during this game when they rung
in one Of their special tumb-
ling acts. When it comes to
batting Hobbins won the medal
making a home run and bringing
in two other runs besides his own.
The Minot players did them
selves proud but the base running
Of Special Agent Dwyer was the.
feature of the game. He was all
right until he reached second
where he seemed to think De Lam
ey was making FRAUDULENT proof
for he stayed there for special
examination. Taken all the way
through the game was very inter-
esting and we believe the Minot
players enjoyed their visit very
much. Minot can take fair warn
ing however that our heavy
weights are going down there to
win and the return game will be
very very warm.
The following is the lineup for
the game at Minot a week from to-
day. H. L. Shuttleworth, H. V.
Smith, George Schlenker, Cook,
Dougherty, Bousliman, De Laney,
Bruegger, Whitehead, Macken-
roth and Hobbins.

COMPLETE VICTORY
FOR MRS. HEDDERICH
Judge Ooss Hands Down Decision in t1edderich Case
In Favor Mrs. .Hedderich---Virdict Very
Popular One.

Last Saturday an order for
Judgment and decision in the He'd
derich case was received. The
decision holding the will valid in
all things and that the Indian Boy
known as Gus Hedderich, Jr.,
was not the son of Mr.. Hedderich,
that there never was a marriage
between Mr.. Hedderich and the
Indian woman, Medicine, accord
ING to Indian customs and rites,
or otherwise, and that they never
lived or cohabited together in any
manner; that Mr.. Hedderich never
recognized the Indian woman as
his wife or the Indian boy as his
son, and dismissing the petition of
the Indian as being wholly without
merit and taxing the entire costs
of the action against him.
This case is an excellent illustra-
tion of an attempt to blackmail an
estate and to what length the
greed and lust of money will lead
some people. The facts in the
case are these. .
In the summer or fall and win
ter of 1879 the Indian woman
Medicine or ''Pasuta", as known
in the Indian language, lived with
one of the Northwest Mounted
Police at Wood Mountain, Can
ada, leaving there in the late fall
or winter of 1879, or early
spring Of 1880, and going to pop
lar, Mont, tolive. In the spring
of 1880 she gave birth to the In
dian boy afterwards named Gus
Hedderich and the party who
brought this action.
Mr.. Hedderich, the deceased,
was born at Evansville, Indiana,
and lived there until in August or
September 1880, teaching school
the last year. In the fall of 1880
he went to work for Jordan and
Leighton in their store at Wood
Mountain. He left there in 1888
and went to Poplar, Mont.
In 1886 Miss Dustin, after
wards Mrs. Hedderich, and the
plaintiff in the action, visited
Major Cowan, her brotherinlaw,
who was indian agent at Poplar.
She taught in the indian school in
the fall of 1886. At the time
about 16O indian boys were brought
into school and to Mrs. Hedderich
Major Cowan, General Health,
and the other teacher fell the task
of giving the children white
names.'' General Health as a
joke naming the boy in question
Gus Hedderich" the boy attend
ing school under Miss Dustin at
that time. He attended school
the previous year but under diff
ferent name.
In the spring of 1886 Miss Dus-
tin and MIR. Hedderich were mar
ried and thereafter, by the strict
est kind Of economy, they saved
up enough to enable Mr.. He'd
derich to engage in business with
his brothers and in the succeeding
wears accumulated the means
which proved the attraction of in
dian lust and greed of hungry
lawyers.
1t being wholly impossible to
recover a verdict upon the testi-
mony given by the contestant and
his witnesses year ago in the
county court necessitated some re-
markable performances or the
part of those seeking to break the
will and to prove kinship to the
deceased.
The entire array of witnesses
for the contestant told a different
story than that given by them in

Attacks Passage of Lusk
 Measure. CALLS IT BLOW TO STATE Bill Prevents Appeal of Corporations to Federal Courts.
 - Man From Calkeun Declare. Law- Makers wiII Live Te See People of Aiahama Discountenance
 Their Acts.

The Lusk Bill, called by it's friends, "a bill regulating foreign corporations in Alabama-" was yesterday passed by the liking of the Senate. that only six votes were cast against 1t.
 The consideration of the bill was en- livened by humorous, but neverthe- less stirring speech by senator a,a, Fred Ere ,s: L: minority. he threw defiance at the ma jority, and challenged them as to what the verdict of the people would be on the work of the present Legislature.
 He threw defiance at the men who had been responsible for the Legislation of this present session, and declared he expected to live long enough to see that work repudiated by the people of Ala bama. The bill which the Senate pass- ed so easily he Characterised as 'ths death knell of prosperity in Alabama"
 The bill is entitled: An Act to regulate the doing of bus mess in Alabama by a foreign or non- resident corporation or corporations or- ganized under or by authority of the law of any other State or government than that of Alabama"
 The principal provision of the bill is that corporation shaii not be permit. ted to continue to do business ih Ala bama, if it should ever transfer a case from State tc a Federal court The bill was amended in its passage SO the corporation could reiEstate itself In Alabama after being barred. by the payment of heavy fine based on It's capital stock.
 Declares 1t Constitutionai. In advocating the measure, Senator Lusk devoted himself especially to the constitutional question the bill raises He declared the State had ample au- thority to forbid corporation from doing business within It's borders He quoted a decision of the Supreme Court to establish this contention He ex- plained the bill provided that foreign corporations should pay the same li- cense and be under the same restric- tions as domestic corporations. The license would be issued by the State Auditor and the Secretary of State.
 He told the Senate he had been in formed by the Secretary of State the bill would bring in an additional $10.- 900 to the State Treasury. MT. Lusk defended the provision which declared If a. corporation should transfer a civil suit from a State Court to a Federal Court, 1t would forfeit it's right to do business In Alabama.
 Senator Spragins declared it was a direct blow at every foreign corpora tion which had helped build up the State.
 You propose to penalize a corpora tion because 1t is a corporation" said Senator Spragins

A ASELMASTEAMBOAT BUSINESS MEN DISCUSSING PUR- CHASE OF ONE. By Doing So Shippers Hope to Secure
 Bettcr SeFyine on the River
 Another Cotton Factory.

 Selma Feb. 6.
 The question of the business men of the city buying and operating a seam boat on the Alabama River in the in- terests of the city of Selma, was one of the principal subjects discussed at the semi monthly meeting of the Com mercial and Industrial Association which was held last night.
 The members of the Association who attended the meeting discussed this question from It's various points and while no action was taken in the mat ter 1t seemed to be the unanimous yer dict of all present that a boat should be bought or built and put on the river.
 The steamboat question has also been discussed to a great extent today by the members of the large wholesale firms on Water Street. It has been figured out that there would probably be a great saving for these houses who buy large quantities of grains and other provisions In the West to have these goods shipped to Mobile, taking advantage of the low freight rates which that city enjoys. and then to have them brdHg ght to this city on the boat that is owned by the business men of the city.
 It has been stated that a boat sufi- ciently large to answer all purposes could be purchased for about $16,000. and 1t is believed that 1t could be op- erated on the river at great saving to the merchants of the city
 The sgreat advantages which the Alabama river afforded the merchants of Selma was dweit upon at some length during the meeting of the Com Inerciai and Industrial Association, It was pointed out to thase present that these advantages had not been grasp cd by the business people they would have been by the bushes peo- ple of other cities. Then a member present agitated the steamboat ques- tion As an example he pointed to the low freight rates which the city of DemopoIls. on the Tombigbee. was en- loving. He said that 1t came about because the business interests of that city had banded themselves together and had put a steamboat upon the riv- CT which was operated for the benefit of that place.
 Shortly af.er this boat had been put mon the river 1t was shown the regu- lar boats which ply the river had cut their freight rates so low that the boat which the merchants had put on could not compete with them; that the boat had then been tied up and that the merchants took advantage of the low rates which their competitors of fered them; that the boat was always there and that If the rates were raised again 1t could bc put In commission a cain On these low rates it was stated ohat the merchants of Demopo- lIs have more than gotten back the money which they put in the indepen- dent steamer.
 Selma he said. could do as Demop- oils had done and If the boat was once put upon the river the regular boats, he was certain would lower their freight rates in the hopes of running if am of business. Then, as Demopo- lis had done. the boat could be tied up aid on the lowered rates the business
