HEALy'S LIGHTING
SCHEME GONE
BUMP!
Red Lake Falls Man Has
Backed Out of Project
No Bond Filed.
TIME LIMIT UP FEB. 1
It is Claimed That Eastern
Backing Backed the
Wrong Way.

What do you know about that Hea-
ly electric light franchise?" asked a
prominent citizen this morning. HAS
the Red Lake man given up the propo-
sition.
The Evening Times representative
was obliged to state so far as was
known Mr.. Healy had evidenced no
disposition to take advantage of the
franchise granted him by the city
council several months ago. The Red
Lake Falls man proposed to run a
copper wire circuit from Red Lake
Falls, Mimi, to Grand Forks for the
purpose of transmitting and distrib-
uting electricity at a cheap rate. He
said he was to have the backing of
large eastern capital.
The matter was given a thorough
hearing before the city council with
the result that Mr.. Healy was given
a franchise with a time limit in which
to file bond.
In the meantime the promoter was
having trouble in securing franchise
in East Grand Forks, his backing
backed the wrong way, and Mr.. Healy
failed to file his bond. He asked for
an extension of time in which to do
so however, and this was granted.
The extended time was up to the first
of February.
City Auditor w. v. o'Conner states
that no bond has been filed up to date
and it looks as though the mate to
the South sea bubble had been rammed
with pin.

The question "who stole the spuds? ?"

Auditor Thistlewiate was fired from
Office today by the mayor. The audi

COMPLICATIONS IN CASE
Suit Hailng From Minot May Not
Come Up on Account Of Death
Of Defendant.

Charles G. Larson of Berthold is in
the city today on business matters.
MIR. Larson is the plaintiff in the suit
of Larson VS.. Geo. J. Newman of New
York City, which suit grew out of a
controversy at Minot. 1t appears that
Newman's agent in Minot entered in
to contract for the sale of land, but
when the papers were forwarded to
New York, Newman refused to give
a deed.
During the past day or two, Mr..
Larson has received notice of the
death Of the defendant at New York,
and on account of the legal complica-
tons that would be entailed, the case
may never come to trial. Newman's
body is being shipped to Milwaukee
for burial.
Mr.. Larson is a prominent farmer
of Berthold and says that everyone out
that way is optimistic for the year, de-
spite the hard winter.

BOUND OVER
TODAY
Bismarck Hotel Man Must
Face Charges in the Dis
trict Court.
Special to The Evening Times.

Bismarck, n. D., March 2O.-E. G.
Patterson today waived preliminary
hearing before Judge Spalding on
charges of violating the prohibition
law and running disorderly house,
and was bound over to the district
court under bonds of $500. There
were three informations against Pat
terson, two for violating the prohibi-
ton law, and the other for conducting
a disorderly house. This morning his
attorneys demurred to the informa-
tons on the ground that they were
defective. Judge Spalding said he had
already looked into this question, and
found that they were alright. The de-
murrers were overruled. Yesterday,
the effort to remove the case to an
other justice was defeated. Follow
ing these two defeats, the attorneys
for the defendant advised that the
hearing be waived. Patterson will he
tried at the May term of the district
court before Judge Winchester.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
No Effort Made to Remove Ac-

An answer has been served in the
case of Davy VS.. Great Northern Rail-
way company, L. NJ. Rockwell and j.
l.. Dunn. Mr.. Davy was struck by
snow pillow at Bartlett and sues for
$4,000 damages. The federal
statutes provide for the removal of
causes from the state courts to the
federal courts where there is an
amount of $4,000 of more in controver-
sy and the defendant, or defendants
are residents of a state or states other
than that in which the action was
started. Two of the defendants being
residents of North Dakota-this action
is not removable to the federal courts.
1t will be tried in the Grand Forks
county district court. Calder and Ger
main appear for the plaintiff.
In their answer, the defendants
claim contributory negligence on the
part of the plaintiff. They also claim
that the train was not stalled at the
