SDeclal to The Evening Times.
Bismarck, N. D., May 23.-A former
Judge of the supreme court of the
state under arrest for contempt of
court, case of habeas corpus for his
release in the supreme court of the
state, and test case to determine
whether there was any authority in
law for the creation OF the Office of
state temperance commissioner, vest
ed with all the powers of states at
torneys in their respective counties,
are some of the rapidly increasing
features of the session of the grand
jury now on at Bismarck. The feel
ing between the several parties in
interest, in the grand jury matter, has
reached an acute stage and
Lively Fireworks
are expected before the present ses-
sion of the jury is over. The prose-
cution has engaged Guy C. H. Cor
liss, formerly justice of the supreme
court of the state, to assist with the
cases to be presented to the grand
jury.
Judge Winchester has refused to
permit Corliss, as a temporary assist
ant states attorney, to appear before
the grand jury. 1t was then suggested
the temperance commissioner and his
deputy having all the powes of states
attorneys, could appear before the
grand jury, and Judge Corliss was ap-
pointed as deputy temperance COM
missioner in order that he might ap-
pear before the grand jury. In order
to settle the legal phases of the case,
Corliss. acting as deputy temperance
commissioner, appeared before the
grand jury, and was subjected to
An Agreed Arrest
for contempt of the district court in
appearing without authority before
the grand jury. A writ of habeas cor
pus was Immediately sued out, Judge
Corliss placed in constructive custody,
and the supreme court has set today
at. 3 o'clock in the afternoon as the
time for hearing the writ of habeas
corpus and determining whether or
not Corliss can appear as prosecut-
ing office before the grand jury. At
toney Townsend, of Fargo, for the
defense, has given notice that at the
same time he will ask the
Court to Pass
upon the constitutionality of the law
creating the office Of state temperance
commissioner, so that all of the cases
will be brought before the court for
a settlement in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
It is claimed, and has been for some
time, that the legislature was without
authority to pass law creating a
public official and clothing him with
the powers already vested in con-

FINE SPECIMEN Of MAMMOTH
DISCOVERED IN ALASKAN ICE

One piece of statuary at the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition, which will
be held at Seattle in 1909, will be en-
tirely different from any ever displayed
at previous expcsitions. This piece de
resistance will be a huge, complete
speciment of the ancient mammoth
that roamed the wilds of Alaska CEN
turtles before Columbus discovered
America.
The remains of the prehistoric mon
ster will decorate the plaza in front
OF the Alaska building, and will be
protected from the elements by spe-
cially constructed shelter. Skeletons
of the mastodon have been reconstruct
ed from scattered bones, and exhibited
at former fairs, but no exposition has
had the big beast just as he L,ok y!

exploitation of Alaska, will naturally
present many new and interesting fea-
lures, but 1t is to be doubted if any
will attract more attention and excite
more comment than the entire form of
the prehistoric elephant
Late last summer, while President j.
E. Chilberg of the exposition was at
Nome, word was brought in that a
complete specimen of a mammoth en-
cased in ice had been discovered by w.
E. Thomas on Cleary creek. Mr.. Chill
berg investigated, and learned that the
specimen was practically perfect, the
flesh and hide being intact except in

attic people there is legend that these
huge creatures bearing .these long
! curved horns" burrow in the ground
and die the moment they reach the up
per air. This legend probably pro-
duced the name of mammoth from the
Tartar word mamma meaning earth.
The word has only been in use in Eu-
ropean languages for little over two
centuries. and there is every reason
why it could have come from the leg
end mentioned.
The word "mastodon" comes from
two Greek words meaning "nipple-
tooth" because the molars are formed
of conical protuberances, while the
teeth Of the mammoth are in large
