The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1907-02-21

When Judge Pollock asked Ma or j. S. MUIR
ply. just prior to sentencing him to serve elgh-
teen months in the penitentiary, il he had any
legal reason to assign why sentence OF that
court should not be passed upon him, the Major
denounced the Judge and the jury in one OF the
most singing replies that ever man made to a
Judge. The major told the Judge emphatically
that he asked no mercy or favor from him.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish the entire
address Mr.. Murphy made before the Judge. No
one expected that Pollock would give Murphy
lighter sentence than he did. All thru the trial
Pollock showed the major no mercy. The ma
ior will try to show to the supreme court some
irregularities concerning the trial, and it would
not be at all surprising to the Independent ii
Murphy should secure third trial Murphy's
no use denying the fact that he has enemies
and there are but very few who would not be
glad II be could vindicate himself.
Judge Goss issued court orders to all of the
Minot police Saturday morning asking them to
appear before him that afternoon. Calling
cally that he wanted every policeman in the
city to do his duty; that he wanted the police to
arrest every man they believed was guilty OF
runninl pig; that they should not fear that it
would be a false arrest and he informed them
that they need not have warrant to arrest
II
the attitude of the police or the city administra-
ton is upon the question, but this does not al
ter the situation. There is no cause for the ex-
istence of blind pig. If it develops from now
on that there is blind pig, and that it has been
running, the court will have to investigate why
Judge evidently means business and its more
than likely that blind pigs in Minot will be
scarce articles.
Addressing meeting OF retail merchants in
Jefferson City recently, Governor Folk OF
Missouri said:
I'VE are proud of our splendid cities, and we
want to increase wealth and population, and we
also want our country towns to grow. We wish
the city merchants to build up, but we also de-
sire the country merchants to prosper do
not believe in the mail order citizen. II place
is good enough for man to live in and to make
his money in, it's good enough for him to spend
his money in.
t'No merchant can succeed without advertis-
ing in one way or another. Patronize your
town papers, build the town up in increased
trade and greater opportunities. Do not be
afraid that business is going to be hurt by the
recent exposures of wrong-doing in the CON-.
mercial world.
Louisiana distiller, representing several
other manufacturers of ire-water applied to
Judge Sanborn at ST. Louis, for an Injunction
against Professor Ladd, to retain him from
issuing bulletin showing how the distillers
whiskey was adulterated on the ground that it
would hurt the distiller,!s trade and injure his
reputation as purveyor OF pure booze. The
Injunction was granted, but when the papers
