Hansbrough to In
troduce Many Bills
Senior Senator Would Build $3.50 900 Public Building
for Mnot--He Must Make Good With the People
Senators will Come to His Assistance

U. S. Senator Hansbrough has in
troduced a bill in the Senate provid-
ing for the public building at Minot.
This was expected of the senator
and he's likely to introduce a lot Of
other bills which he does not expect
will be passed by the house of repre-
sentatives.
He probably believes that the ef-
feet will be just the same upon the
people as tho the bills were to be
passed by both houses.
Hansbrough, it may be said, has
a fairly good stand-in with the other
members of the senate. He has
helped them many a time, and now
that he himself is in a mighty tigat
pinch, you may depend upon it tnat
his colleagues will be ready to pass
most any cid bill the senior senator
may care to introduce.

KELLY TRkEs DISGRACE HARD.
Worries on Account Of His Poor Old
Mother Who Writes to Him
Daily.

w. T. Kelley, who is in the county
jail, charged with stealing wheat
from VIM. Meyers, takes his imprison-
ment very hard. Kelly's folks are
very respectable, and it is on account
of his mother, who resides in the Red
River valley, that the young man
feels so badly. Kelley. it seems, is
not a hardened criminal, altho he
may have gone wrong, and his con-
sideration Of his poor old mother
shows that he still has spark Of
manhood left. He receives a letter
each day from the poor old mother,
who watched over him all the days Of
his life, with the exception CT the few
years that he went "out west to
earn living for himself and her fond
est hopes are crushed to think that
her son Is behind the bars.
7 would rather spend ten years in
the penitentiary, and have my mother
think that was innocent" Kelley
said to the jailos, .'than 20 free
and have her believe me guilty" !.
Kelley's trial started Tuesday ami

The bill providing for Minot's
Public building is good one, and we
only hope that our views of the sen
ior senator are wrong ones. Such a
Dill provides for the erection of a
$250,000 public building in Minot,
with ventilating apparatus, elevators;
and approaches. The senator did
not specify whether there were to-
be any doors or windows in the
building or not, but we presume that
this is so.
The senator in his bill provides
that the notice of advertisement for
the sale of land suitable for such
building shall be advertised in one
or more of the Minot papers, having
the largest circulation. OF course he
thought of the Independent when lie
framed up this bill We will make
him think of us some more.
Proposals in response to such ad-
va1tisement, shall be addressed 10
the secretary of the treasury. The
building shall be unexposed to danger
from fire, by an open space of At
least forty fet on each side, includ-,
ing streets and alleys.

afternoon of said day why they and
each of them should not be punished
for wilful contempt Of court for fill
ing such petition for rehearing con-
tanning the language above quoted.
And it is further ordered, that the
clerk of this court cause a certified
copy of this order to be served upon
each of the above named attorneys
forthwith.
B. H. Bradford, one of the members
of the firm, was interviewed by an
Independent Reporter Mr. Brad
ford says that the language he used
lin to the supreme court was differ
ent than that which he intended to
use. He says that he did not intend
to address the court in a disrespect-
full manner at ALL Mr.. Bradford fur
ther stated:
Il wish it understood that in this
matter if any one has been guilty of
contempt of the Supreme Court it is
myself. Mr. LeSueur, whose name is
associated with mine, as member
of the firm who filed the petition for
rehearsing had nothing whatever to
do with it, having been absent for
sometime and being at present in
California. j
with respect to theNmatter in the
petition charged as being lisrespect-
full. and contemptous, I have only to
say that there was no intent nor de-
sire to be either disrespectful or con-
temptuous, and think that the Sup
RENE court has misconstructed the
language used in the petition.

petition, and have not as yet had
any reason to change my views, that
the Supreme. Court overlooked the
application of known physical laws

cision of the court would be and is
a decision of ignorance. do not
charge the court. with ignorance but
simply and solely do charge them
with having overlooked the applica-
tion,, as said before. of known physi-
cal laws. In my opinion this is a
providence of a petition for rehear-
ing. With the feeling in my heart
that there has been miscarriage of
justice in this case it is possible that
the language chosen by me in por-
tions of the petition for rehearing,
may have been more forcible than
was proper, but if am to be held
guilty of contempt for stating facts
which l can prove by a. physical
demonstration, I must abide by the
consequences, for | cannot we'll deny

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. Tn the
supreme court Friday the following
order was entered:
James T. Morrison, plaintiff and
respondent VS.. p. P. Lee, defendant
and appellant
The above entitled action having
been appealed to this court from the
district court Of War1 county from
a judgment entered by said court, and
such appeal having been duly argued,
and submitted by both appellant and
respondent, and the court having
rendered its decision thereon, and
filed its opinion in writing, reversing
said judgment, and on the fifth day
of December, A. D., 1907, Messrs. LIE
Sueur & Bradford, attorneys for the
respondent, having filed in this court
in accordance with the rules there
of, their petition on behalf of the re-
spOndent or rehearsing, wherein said
attorneys for said respondent state:
"The court absolutely overlooked
and failed to read or consider the
testimony of F. w. Bedford, the ex-
pert called by the respondent, ;"
The records show that this testimony
was never read or considered by the
supreme court +" . The supreme
court inadvertently, we hope, but
surely we know, overlooked and fail
ed to consider the difference between
common knowledge and common be-
liefa " In considering this petition
council for respondent respectfully
state to the court not as argument,
but as a statement of fact decisive
in this case and overlooked by the
court, that the decision rendered by
the supreme court is decision of ig-
norance pure and simple; - /"
We submit that the finger of scorn ;of
coming generations will be pointed
at such a decision and the ignorance
of common physical laws governing
this case, the principal one being the
law of evaporation and condensation
the logic of which applied to this
case should appeal to a child of fif-
teen years, and should appeal be
yond question with the greatest force
to men of intellect
And it appearing to this court that
the language so used and quoted here
in is disrespectful, contemptuous and
it's use in violation Of the duties of
an attorney to the court
Now, therefore, it is hereby order
ed, that said petition for rehearing be
stricken from the files Of this court
And it is further ordered that Ar.

attorneys above named show cause

CLARK GETS RELIGION

Frank Clark, the waterman, found
guilty of assault with deadly
weapon, "got religion" in his cell dur
ing service held in the Ward coun-
ty Jail Sunday afternoon by the Sal
walton Army. Clark shouted, prayed
and sang and said: II have had
religion before, but its real thing this
time" He is fanatical sort of fel-
low and may or may not be feigning
religion for effect. He seems to be in
earnest.
VIM. Carroll, who sold Clark a pair
of horses, visited Clark in the Jail
Sunday, short time before the Sal
vction Army put in it's appearance.
