DOGS SHOWED SAGAC|TY
Four CANNES On Great Northern
Bridge Had Narrow Escape
Rugged End Of Ties.

Pedestrians on South Third street
this morning were treated to sight
wherein figured the narrow escape Of
four dogs and the refutation of state
ments to the effect that the dog family
has no natural intellectually. The
dogs were standing near the center Of
the Great Northern span when
freight train came along, unbeknown
to the dogs, until it was we'll across
the bridge, For moment the dogs
were at loss to know what to do
and those who witnessed the perform
ance expected to see the animals
ground to bits. But no, as the train
drew near the dogs stepped to the out
side of the rails and squatted down
upon their launches in half reclin-
ing position.
When the engine had passed, the
CANNES rose to their feet and trotted
along under the leeway of the box
cars, seemingly but little put out in
the cramped quarters.

has submitted his report regarding the
number of blind people in the United
States at the time the census of 1900
was taken This special work was
done under the direction of DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bell.
The difficulty of securing complete
returns is outlined in the introduction

ators were not careful to secure all the
details needed and in many instances
afflicted persons refused to give the
required information.
The summary of the results show
that in 1900 there were 64,763 blind
people in the United States. OF this
number 37,054 or 57.2 per cent were

females. There are $50 blind people
to every 100000 population.
OF the 64,763 blind people in the
United States in 1900 North Dakota
had 16S. OF these "a were totally
blind, "a partially blind, the number
being 52.6 persons for every 100000.
In this state 129 were white and 80

whites for 100000 was only Ala, while
that of the colored blind was 524.6
There were 80 blind under twenty
years of age, 1874 over that age with
the age of two unknown.

Following the reading of the infor-

plea of not guilty. The information
charges him with murder in the first
degree, and the trial of the prisoner
will be taken up the last of the pres
ent term of court, the case being put
at the bottom of the call.
1t was the first time since he had
been arrested that the prisoner had
been in the court room, where he will
be tried on the most serious of all
charges. When his name was called,
Weberg stood up in a quick manner,
and remained standing while the
charges brought against him by the
state were read. He did not appear
to be in the least bit nervous. AS
soon as Weberg entered his plea, he
was at once placed in the Jail again.
Two other men were arraigned be-

incest and Frank Morzek, charged
with assault with a dangerous weapon.
They will enter their pleas tomorrow.

Frank Brown nearly got himself

the counter runs around on one side

any pie was to be had there.
"Got lots of pi in the next ROOM"

led the big fellow to the composing

FAMOUS CASE WILL
Be HEARD
Nurenberger Appeal Will Be
Heard BY u. s. Circuit
Court Of Appeals.
PERJURY sUBORNATION
Claimed He Imported Widows
and Soldiers and Made
Illegal Contracts.
PERJURY sUBoRNAT1oN

The Nurenburger case, one of the
most famous in the history of North
Dakota, is to be argued at the forth
coming session of the United States
court of appeals to be held either at st.
Paul or at st. Louis. This is the an
nouncement given out by prominent
lawyers who are interested in the trial.
All the papers in the case have been
forwarded, and the attorneys for both
government are ready for the legal bat
tie, the outcome of which will deter
mine whether or not Frederick Nuren-
burger will spend what his friends
claim will be the rest of his life in a
federal prison.
The case is a highly sensational one,
in which Nurenburger, pioneer resi-
dent of the state, an old soldier and
highly respected by all who knew him,
was arrested on a charge of suborna-
ton of perjury.
1t was charged that he had imported
widows and soldiers, and settled them
on claims in the Ward and Williams
section of the state, having previously
entered into contract with them to dis
pose of the land as soon as final proof
was made. The case was one of the
hardest fought legal battles ever wit
messed in the federal courts in this
state.
Guilty on Seven Counts.
For many months after the arrest
of the old man special agents of the
land office department. plugged away
on the evidence against him, and it is
claimed that thousands of dollars were
spent in the skirmishing. A verdict Of
guilty was returned by the jury on
seven counts of the indictment and the
defendant was sentenced to term of
Imprisonment in the federal peniten-
tiary.
However, the attorneys on the de-
PENDANTS side got stay of execution
granted and the preparation for the
appeal was begun. Delay after delay
followed, and those inclined to be crit
ical alleged that the defense expected
that Nurenburger would die before the
appeal could be taken up.
Judges Who Will Sit.
The eighth circuit court of appeals,
before which the case will come up, is
the court next above the United States
court, and is composed of four judges,
acting in conjunction with Associate
Justice David J. Brewer of the United
States supreme court. The four judges
who will sit are Judge w. H. SanbOrn
of st. Paul; Judge Willis Van Deventer
of Cheyenne, Wyo.; Judge VIM. e.
Hook Of Leavenworth, Kan; and Judge
E. B. Adams of st. Louis, Mo.
The eighth circuit comprises the
states of Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Utah, Wyoming, Indian Territory, New
Mexico and Oklahoma.

farmers in the district are bound to
become interested in it to greater or
less degree, and when once the sale Of
these machines is fairly started among
the tillers of the soil who are pos
sessed with surplus Of cash in the
bank, there will be no limit to the sales
in the agricultural sections Of the
country"
Its a funny thing" said the tele-
phone operator, how fast some people
think time flies while they're using the
telephone. If they have to wait fifteen
seconds for an answer from central
they think dts two minutes. If they
wait twenty seconds it's five minutes.
Anything over that is a quarter of an
hour.
II never heard subscriber kick
about slow service yet that didn't say
he'd been waiting at least two minutes.
That seems to be the minimum. As a
matter of fact, if anybody did have TO
wait two minutes he'd have smashed
the instrument and rushed over to in
terview the manager. l don't believe
there's anything in the world that
makes people so impatient as using
the phone. Probably it's because it
saves them SO much time anyway that
they think it ought not to take any
time at all.
Sometimes when subscriber says
he's been ringing for ten minutes
wish the company would attach a
watch with good big second hand on
1t to every telephone instrument. Then
some of these kickers would have
chance to see just how short a time
their ten minutes really is"
If the company did that you'd have
more kicks than ever" said her hearer.
Time never goes so slowly as when
you're watching the clock, you know"
Not much" declared the operator.
I'VE couldn't have more. And, any,
way, they wouldn't be such senseless
exaggerations of time as people COM
plain about nowadays. 1t would do
some people know good to discover
that twenty seconds doesn't mark five
minutes by the phone any more than
it does by the clock"

town and Grand Forks, but that in hia
opinion the idea was all right. He has
received letters from persons at Devils
Lake urging that steps be taken to
organize such a league.
From financial standpoint the
thing looks very goodwill the one
proviso-that the teams stick to the
standard promised and not try TO
make Mugsy McGraws men look like
chips from the new block. What the
people want is clean ball, played on
its merits, and, moreover, they desire
rather to witness the prowesses of
those who learned the game on the
corner lots and in the prairie towns
rather than see the disgusting efforts
of the old has4beens.

The citizens of Williston are hot on
the trail of dry and irrigated expert
mental station and John Bruegger as
a representative is now in Bismarck
endeavoring to secure legislation in
connection with Representative Chap
mans bill, establishing an irrigated
and dry farming station at or near
Williston and appropriating $4,000 for
the establishment, and $4,000 per year
for maintenance.
The Williston people maintain that
the state should establish the station
at Williston If only as an appreciation

eminent on the projects in that Sec

IS THE FARGO BOARD
PLANNING ON A
COUP?
Telegram From Bismarck Indi.
Gates That Such is the Ulti-
mate Object of Miller Bill.
: Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 26.-The
: Fargo Fair board has adopted a
: resolution expressing deter nina.
ton to secure an appropriation
: for the present year for that place.
Geo. Davis. Cor.

Those who are interested in the
State fair proposition and who have
followed the doings at the state capt.
tai have been wondering whether or
not the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Miller, of Devils Lake, favoring
that city as a location for the State
Fair, is a scheme in behalf of the
Fargo board, which on the closing
days of the present legislative session
will offer an amendment by placing
the name Fargo in place of Devils
Lake.
According to information at hand,
the state law provides that all bills
for appropriations must be in before
the 40th day OF the session. The time
limit has now been passed and the
only way Fargo could secure the ap-
preparation would be to secure an
amendment to the Miller bill as above
outlined.
From the above telegram it would
seem that the Fargo managers are
figuring on doing this as otherwise
there is no way by which they could
legally tap the State treasury.
