CASE IS BEING )
PUSHED
Atty J. E. Burke Goes to Minot
After Long Search for
Missing Witness.

The attorneys in the famous He'd
rick will case. which has its inception
at Williston several months ago, are
working hard on the appeal from the
decision of the probate Judge and be-
fore the district court gets through it
some interesting testimony will have
been given.
The case has several peculiar char
acteristics and as it involves about
100000, it has attracted considerable
attention in the western portion of
the state. The facts in the litigation
are simple. Hedrick, the man whose
will is in the courts. was a well-to-
do merchant at Williston at the time
of his death. During pioneer days he
wooed and welded an Indian maiden,
from which marriage one son result
ed. Hedrick afterwards remarked,
this time a white woman being "the
better or for worse" part of the bar
gain. No offspring graced this last
matrimonial venture and upon his
death the son from the first marriage
set up claim on the 100000.
The case was tried some time ago
in probate court with disastrous re-
suits to the plaintiff but an appeal
has been taken to the district court
as stated above.
Attorney ]. E. Burke, of Minot, a
member of the firm Palda & Burke,
spent some time in the city last even
ing enroute home to Minot after a
two weeks trip to Kentucky, Illinois,
Wisconsin and several other states.
Attorney Burke took this long excur-
sion for the purpose Of locating sew

night in the city, leaving this morning
for lumber points near Bemidji where
he expects to purchase several car
loads of wood for his retail trade.
Mr.. Miller was member of the last

state fair bill. He is one of the law
makers who have not been roasted
by their constitutes since they re-
turned home. Ramsey county being
more than satisfied with his work.
Aside from being an extensive
machinery dealer; Mr.. Miller is also
largely interested in farming. He
states that at least ninety per cent of
the wheat in that part of the state
is in and the ground was never in his
experience in North Dakota farming
in better shape. The land after being
dragged is almost like an onion bed,
having magnificent dust blanket and
containing sufficient moisture to al
most insure it against danger of
drouth. The first planting is now
just ready to peep through the ground,
and is supplied with long and heavy
roots. Instead of being discouraged
over crop prospects in that part of
the state, Mr.. Miller is decidedly OPP

lures in Grand Forks.

We, ministers of the North Dakota
conference. wish to express to Presi-
dent E. p. Robertson and the faculty
of Wesley college our appreciation
and delight in the rare privilege we
have enjoyed in having with us Prof.
Borden P. Bovine of Boston univer-
sity.
1t has been an inspiration to read
his books that have helped us to think
more clearly and live more deeply
with greater reverence for fact and
truth, with q broaded and better SYM
patty for our fellow men and with a
constantly increasing desire to work
with Christ for the Kingdom of Love
and Good Will.
We recognize in DR.. Bovine one Of
the greatest constructive thinkers of
the world, one who has had the power
and grace to know our age and its
needs, and interpret to it the progress
sive and unfolding truth of God.
It has been his duty and privilege
to lead many men in those perplexing
times of confused thought and we
have come to love him for the help
he has afforded US.
And now It has been our pleasure
to greet him personally out here in
the land OF new endeavors, we are
sure that his visit to North Dakota
will be of lasting benefit and all the
more SO because he comes when we
are attempting new things for Christ
and for The Kingdom. To those Of
us who have known him only through
his books, It has been great pleasure
to meet him personally and to those
of us who have been his students, 1t
has been matter of pride and added
pleasure to have him in our midst.
So we thank the authorities Of Wes-
lev college for bringing to US the man
who has stimulated and guided our
thinking and helped us to broader
sympathies and above all, has helped
us to a better and surer faith in the
ever living God and to deeper love
for our one Lord and Master, Jesus
Christ.
The above expression Of apprecia-
ton was unanimously adopted by the
ministers in attendance upon the
