TEMPORARY REPAIRS.
Commissioners to Renew Parts Of
Streets Recently Damaged.

AS result of the numerous and persistent
| protests from citizens regarding the torn-up
condition of LIST street from street to East
| Capitol street northeast, caused by the con-
struction Of the railroad tunnel to the union
| station, the Commissioners have decided to
| make temporary repairs. The Commission
ers say that the condition of this street is
not satisfactory for permanent restora ton
at this time, because of the continuance of
settlement over the line of the tunnel pre-
Guiding the possibility of any construction
, that will insure permanent surface.
The most recent letter of complaint re-
ceived by the Commissioners was from Will
liam w. Dodge, a patent attorney. Mr..
Dodge resides on the street complained of
and In his letter he stated that the condition
of the thoroughfare has been intolerable for
more than two years, particularly at the
1st and streets northeast crossing. Be-
cause of the flying dust and mud and dirt
| caused by the condition Of the street. he
said. carpets, floors and house draperies in
| the vicinity have been ruined
Charles Fernald, assistant engineer of the
| District. in reporting upon this street to
| the Commissioners yesterday. in order that
they might determine upon some action,
| said that the degree of settlement of the
street surface is now slight and from obser-
| VdlOH OIL the rate OF settlement IN the past
| it is fair to assume that by next September
| the Commissioners will be justified in under
| taking the work Of repairs of permanent
| basis and restoring the street surface to it's
I! original plan and grade.
In proposing temporary repair. Mr.. Fer
maid suggested repairing the cuts over wa
| ter, gas and other subsurface constructions
| with cobble paving. and the repairing Of
| the disintegrated portion of the asphalt sur
| face with asphalt. 1t Is also intended to
plank the surface as substitute for the
: stone and cinder filling now in place.
This treatment. the engineer believes, will
remove the Objectionable dust and the char
acter Of the constructions will tend to q
more complete and acceptable street sur
face. 1t is intended to continue the hand
J cleaning and sprinkling now in progress
With these temporary repairs the Commits
sioners believe the residents will be salts
fled until the District can make the perma-
nent restoration.

DISCHARGES THE RULE
COURTS ACTION IN HIEsToN
BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS.

Chief Justice Clabaugh. presiding in the
Bankruptcy Court, today signed an order
d1scharging the rule issued at the instance
Of John r. Shields, receiver Of the bank
rupt estate of Walter Hieston, against Post
& Flagg of New York and their local
manager. Benjamin Woodruff, to show
cause why they should not turn over to
the receiver certain securities said to be
held by them belonging to the bankrupt s
estate. Similar action was taken in the
case of r. r. Lynn and the American Ma
tional Bank. respectively
The order of dismissal Is without preju-
dice to the filing of similar petition on the
part Of the receiver or his successor. the
trustee In bankruptcy who is to be selected
at postponed meeting Of the Hieston
creditors next Friday afternoon
The answer Of Post & Flagg and Benz.
Woodruff was filed in court this morning
by Attorney Arthur Peter. AS outlined in
yesterdays Star, the respondents saw Mr..
Hieston owes them $3.50 200, as security
for which they say there are in their DOS
session stocks and bonds valued at S17o 900.
These securities, 1t is stated, comprise 923
shares Of Traders National Bank stock.
pany. 5000 shares of stock Of the Mitchell
Mining Company and 10 shares of the Real
ty Appraisal and Agency Company. These
Stocks they say. were placed in their pos
session either by Walter Hieston or by
Hieston and David Agnew Greenlees.
The respondents declare that the effort Mt
marshaling the assets made by the receiver
Is unnecessary. and allege that the creditors
will not be prejudiced by the securities be-
Ing left in the possession Of the respond
ents. All Of these stocks, 1t Is declared
were transferred to Post & Flagg before
May, 1906. with the exception of 5000 shares
of Mitchell mining stock, which they re-
ceived last November. The respondents
deny that the transfer to them and receipt
by them of the securities were intended to
create a preference and insist on their right
to sell and dispose of them and apply the
proceeds to the liquidation of their claim.
1t Is expressly disclaim d by the answer
that there Is any intention to in any wise
sacrifice the stocks. but, it is stated the
respondents will use diligence and make
every effort to obtain the highest possible
price for the securities.
Interference by the court, 1t is contended
by the respondents, would have only the
effect Of increasing their loss, which they
claim will be great by reason of Mr.. HES
toms failure without in any manner aiding
or benef1ting the Hieston creditors.
Hearing on the rule as to the other Sc
cured creditors was continued by the court
at request Of counsel.

MUST COMPLY WITHLAW
5urIeigh County States Attorney in
sists That Government Tax Receipts
Must Be Ordered and Advertised.

States Attorney Patterson. of Bis
marck, notified the holders of govern
ment tax receipts for the sale of liquor
of which holders he has secured a list
from the revenue officers, that on oil
before next Saturday night they must
fish or cut bait, or, in other words,
must comply with the new law regard :
ing the advertising of such receipts,
recording them with the city auditor;
or surrendering them to the govern
ment. Failure to comply with the law,
the states attorney says, viii subject
the holders to prosecution as provided
for by the new statute. Although the
law has been in force nearly two
months but one holder of such a re-
ceipt has complied with the law, and is
advertising as directed, he being a
druggist. There are quite number
Of these receipts held in this city. and
1t is proposed that the holders shall
help out the city treasury as the law
provides, to the tune of $40 each. or
there will be something doing. Under
the old condition nothing could be done
to holders of the tax receipt if he
did not sell any booze, but under the
new statute he must record the re-
ceipt and advertise the fact that he
holds 1t, which law includes the drug
gists as well as others.

TURN in TAX RECEIPTS
Many Ex- Saloon Men at Bismarck
and Mandan Want Receipts Can
celled by Government.

A dispatch from Bismarck states
that in response to the request of the
states attorney number of erstwhile
liquor sellers have turned in to him
their government tax receipts for the
purpose of. having them cancelled by
the revenue department at Aberdeen.
and it is also said that many of the
dealers will migrate to other parts,
notably to South Dakota ana Mon
tana. ~ ~ sG ets
One of the saloon men informed the
chief of police that he did not believe
the state authorities had any iuris-
diction over his government license,
or. receipt, and that he would refuse
to either surrender it, advertise it or
place it on record as the new state
law provides.------.4s-s..s -,-.-,.--s-~r~g
When informed of this decision
Temperance Commissioner Murray
was heard to remark that Bismarck
would be good place to see whether
the law was any good or not, from
which it is taken there win be sonne-
thing doing If the aforesaid saloon
man does not take one of the courses
outlined by the authorities
If the temper of the temperance
commissioner is sized up right, law
violators will find they have met up
with fellow who likes a real good
fight along the lines of his duty and
one who can be depended upon to put
up good one, too.

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Devils Lake Man Must Answer
Charge at RolIa.

@ss&A ~ ~ stOttGs ri
Rolla Herald: AS stated in. last
weeks issue, VIM McATaster ewas ar
rested at Devils Lake and brought back
to Rolla to answer to a criminal charge.
but the charge was that OF obtaining
money under false pretenses instead of
grand larceny. The hearing was held
Friday afternoon. before Justice w. j.
Hoskins, and resulted In his being
bound over to the district court in the
sum of $1,000, In default of which he
must remain In Jail until Rolette coun-
ty hasa term of court. The testimony
showed that he sold q single harness
and other articles belonging to Harry
Mcpherson Of ST. John, to John B.
Azure, representing himself to be the
owner of the same. The fact that the
articles belonged to Mr. Mcpherson
was not denied, but McMaster claims
that the articles were put in his charge
by George Thomas, and that he was
told to sell them Thomas claiming
that they were his own property John
Hollis. one Of the witnesses for the
prosecution, testified that ne had loan
ed the articles i'm question to Thomas.
One OF the suspicious circumstances
of this case was the fact that George
Thomas was subpoenaed as witness
for the prosecution and failed to show
up, thus virtually corroborating Me-
Masters claim that he was a guilty
party In the case.
