Don't try to make it settle up for every

Honesty of LAWYERS.

AS a tribute to the honesty of a pro-
fession as a whole the following state
ment issued by the Whitney
company of San Francisco is probably
Unique:
'on April IS, 1905. the date of the great
fire, the legal fraternity of this country
was indebted to US in a sum of excess
of 100000. The fire destroyed all of
our books of accounts.
"The lawyers of San Francisco, having
lost their entire libraries, were absolved
of their indebtedness to us, amounting to
ab1ut $4,000. This left an amount due
from outside lawyers of from $4,000 to
$175, 600.
Having no list of patrons, we sent a
circular letter to the lawyers named in
Martindale's Legal Directory advising
them of our loss and asking for informa-
ton as to their indebtedness to us. The
responses to this circular were so prompt
and sc gratifying that we think the
legal profession should know that of this
total Indebtedness, of say sl75,O0O nearly
s150,000 has already been reported to us.
and we are receiving advices every day
from parties who had not previously ans
wered our circular asking about their In
debtedness.
'1t is but right to say that some of
the San Francisco attorneys declined to
accept the cancellation of their accounts,
and have paid same. Let it be known
to the world that the legal profession Is
made up Of men of the highest honor"
Columbiana Sentinel Changes Hands.
II. Il. Whitaker, editor of the Column
biana Sentinel has sold his interest in
that we'll known publication to James
A. MacKnight and son. Mr.. MacKnight
is well known in Birmingham where he
resided for several years. 1t was he who
conceived the idea of Vulcan for the
St. Louis Worlds Fair exhibit and his eff
forts did much to make the Alabama
display at that exposition the success
which 1t proved.
Mr.. Whitaker is one of the best known
editors in the state and has always
taken an active interest in the work
of the Alabama Press association. His
many friends throughout the state will re-
greet to learn he has had some trouble
with his eyes which makes 1t necessary
for him to give up active newspaper
work. He will come to Birmingham in
the near future where he will undergo
treatment for his eyes after which he will
leave for California, where he has bust
ness interests with brother. Alabama

MURRAY TO SUE
NELS TUEFUES0k
Claims That he Paid $1,000 on
Seven Cottages and That NeIs
Will Not Turn Over the Deeds
to the Same. Will be
Interesting.

Judge Murray, the city asses
sor, is bringing an action against
Nels Tuefueson, who owns over
thirty houses in Minot, to gain
title to seven Of those honses,
which he bought for $1,000, and
on which he claims to have paid
! already $4,000.
The difficulty arose over the
fact that Murray assessed Tue
fues on's cottages at their full
value, a fact which the 1ndepen-
dent said two weeks ago would
cause more or less trouble. Tue
tucson objected to Murray's as.
I sessing them for So, 500 and i'm
4 mediately after inserted an ad.
vertisement in the Minot papers
h stating that he would sell all OF
the houses for $1,000, or $500
less than the assessor placed
their value at.
u Murray called Tuefueson on
his offer and handed him u check
Tor $4,000. Tuefueson claimed
that he was willing to take that
&amount for the property, but
Says his wife objected to signing
the papers. Murray said he
would accept title to the proper
aty anyway providing Tuefueson
state in it that the pros;
5SSsperty was never a part OF his
homestead. This Tuefueson re-
j used to do, but got the $4,000
Sscheck cashed, and at this writing
still has the money-and the

Aug. Rasmussen OF Imperial
Calls at Judge Murray's Mat

Strong Plea fer a Wife---Is
Unsuccessful but There's
Still Hope.

Aug. Rasmussen. an Imperial farmer
thirty five years of age, and good look
ing as we'll as rich, visited Judge Muir
RAYS matrimonial bureau Monday and
stated that he was willing to give $50
for a wife. He didn't care if she was
little cross-eyed and whether or not she
had few teeth missing, but one OF the
stipuiations was that she must be a
good cook. In fact that was to be the
essential quality. No woman, however
young, and handsome, is good enough
for Mr.. Rasmussen, unless she can
make bread like mother used to make 1t.
Rasmussen stated that he had many
cares as farmer and could no longer
afford to do his own cooking.
The Judge stated that he would DO
the best he could for the lonely swain
from Imperial and in the. meantime ad-
vised him to wait with patience.
Rasmussen for several days was glued
fast to the Judges offices and would
hardly leave it for his meals.
While the judge has many appllca-
tons from young women, old maids and
widows of uncertain ages, he has found
none that could quite suit Mr. Rasmus.
sen as to her cooking propensltles and
the forlorn bachelor was compelled TO
90 home without wife.
He stated that while he did not haze
the ready money, he was perfectly Will
ing to mortgage his horses with which
to raise the price.
The Judges agency is becoming
known far and wide and every day be
has applications.
