A Plain Tale Of Strange
Happenings on the Sea

tain Black; yet I saw at once that, lack
ing my help, he would elude them.
1t was half past six when at last man
unlocked the door of my room and entered.
He was one of Blacks negroes.
"Sar will come quick" said he, "and
leave his luggage. The master waits.
He gave me no time for any explana-
tions, but took me by the arm, and pass
ing from the house by a back door, he
went some way down a narrow street
There a cab waited for us, and we drove
away, but not before one, who stood on
the pavement, had made slight signal
to me, and called another cab. In him
recognized Detective Inspector King, and
| knew that we were followed.

"Alfalfa" is Coming

Those who appreciate an ex-
cellent production of an enter
tanning and amusing play
should not forget that the
rural comedy, Alfalfa" will
be presented at the opera house
on Nov. 13. The production,
the company and the play it.
self, perhaps forms the most
popular conception of enter
tainment allied with dramatic
art. To Miss Alice Bonita
Hughes is entrusted the part
of Alfie" and she is said to
portray the character of the
simple, trusting country girl in
a very acceptable manner. Sup
porting her is a carefully select
ed company of players. 1t is a
matter of congratulation that
the first presentation of 'Alfa1-
fa' in this city should be en-
trusted to company that
comes so highly recommended
in every way.

Broke Jail.

Joe Harrison, one of the coons
who was lodged in the county
jail awaiting trial at the next
term of the district court, un.
doubtedly got tired of the
grub" that was being dished
up to him at Hotel De McKin-
non and Monday evening be-
tween the hours of 7 and 8saw-
ed a couple of the bars in his
cage and escaped. AS to just
how the colored gentleman Sc
cured the saw or the other
necessary utensels to make his
escape with nobody seems to
know. It is thought, however,
that he had an accomplice
lurking about.
Harrison is the fellow who
nearly stabbed Chris Undeland
to death at Russell some time
ago. Up to the present time
uot the slightest trace of him
has been found.

LOSES JUDGESHIP.
Appointment of Burr as Judge of
Ninth District Held Void.

BY an opinion handed down
by the supreme court of North
Dakota Wednesday afternoon,
the appointment by Governor
Burke of A. G. Burr as judge
of the newly created Ninth dis
trict is set aside. This will
render invalid all cases tried
before Burr while he occupied
the office of Judge.
The opinion handed down by
the supreme court is written
by Justice Spalding and practi-
cally upholds the contention of
! the attorneys in the arguments
made before the court at the
session in Grand Forks in Sept
ember.
The Ninth district was Great
ed by an act of the last legisla-
ture. The fact that an emerg-
ency clause was attached to the
bill creating the district was
taken advantage of by Cover
nor Burke who appointed A.
G. Burr, of Bottineau, as Judge.
The bill provides that the
judge of the district shall be
named at the general election.
Since his appointment, Burr
has been holding a number of
terms of court, having a num-
Der of cases before him. The
decision of the supreme court,
holding that Burr has no right
to the office, will mean that all
litigation he has disposed of
will be void.
The Ninth district included
McHenry, Bottineau and Pierce
counties, being created out of
the Second and Eighth dis
tricts.
The right of Burr to hold the
office came up on a writ of
habeas corpus action from Rug
by. A prisoner sentenced by
Judge Burr to a term in the
Pierce county Jail made the ap-
plication through Attorney A.
NJ. Christianson, of Towner,
claiming that he should not be
held prisoner because of the
fact that Burr had no right to
office.

Call Meeting Nov. rs.
The insurgents decided at a
meeting Valley City Wednes-
day to defer the naming of the
state slate until November rs,
at which time a convention will
be called to meet at Grand
Forks for the purpose of nomi-
mating a state ticket. The con-

ed Scandinavian league. insur-
gent members of the last legis-
lature, and insurgent delegates
to the last state republican con-
vention, and such other per-
sons as the good government
league committee may desig-
nate.
1t was agreed to nominate a
full state ticket at the Grand
Forks convention, including
candidates for members of con-
gress and United States sena-
tor. 1t was decided by those
present here yesterday to NOM

tied States senator, George NJ.
Young, of Valley City for con-
gresham from the southern
part of the state, and Treadwell
Twichell, of Cass county for

ton will be very extensive af-
fair, as the principal candidates
have already been agreed up

Confession of her sin was her intent;
And so her misdemeanOrs great and small,
She faithfully to him rehearsed them all;
And chiefest in her catalogue of sin,
She owned that she tale-b bearer had been
And bore bit of scandal up and down
TO all the long tongued gossips of the town..
The holy father for her other sins
Granted the absoluton asked of him.
But while for the rest he pardon gave,
He told her this ofense very grave,
And to do fit penance she must go
Out by the waysde where the thistles grow,
And gathering the largest, rpest one,
Scatter it's seeds; and that when this was done
She must come back another day
To tell him his commands she did obey
The woman, thinking this a penance light,
fastened to do his will that very ght,
Feeling right glad she had escaped so we'll.
Next day but she went the priest to tell
The priest sat still and heard her story through
Then said There's something still for you to do;
These little thistle seeds which you have sown,

The woman said But father 'twould be vain
To try and gather up those seeds again;
The winds have scattered them both far and wide
Over meadow, vale and mountain side.''
The father answered. Nov hope from this
The lesson have taught you will not miss;
You cannot gather back the scattered seeds,
Which far and wide will grow to noxious weeds;
Nor the mischief once by scandal sown
BY any penance be again undone ''-Anon.
