Harrison Township Wins Case

The decision rendered by the SUI
preme Court in the case OF Harrison
Township VS.. tn city of Minot, in IA
vor Of Harrison township, is OF a
historic nature and will be read with
considerable interest.
Away back in the year 1891, that
part of section IA that was involved
in the case, was segregated by the
City Council of the City OF Minot..
In the year 1896, the petition from
that portion of Sec. 49,, asking to be
annexed to the cit Of Minot, was re-
jected by the city council.
The case was then appealed to the
supreme city, AMI in 1898, Judge
Morgan rendered a judgment, segre
eating that portion Of section %,
from the corporate limits of the
city Of Minot. The question whether

not considered by the supreme court

stood idly by for ten or fifteen years.
that the city was stopped from rails

James Johnson represented Harri-

iered that township valuable services.
Mr.. Johnson has been familiar with

twelve o'clock Monday night, and
how she died with no one near

ments, Dale, who had been an in

Dress Costumes Without
Sleeves.

Tea gowns and evening frocks are
coming to their own now. It's very
hard at times to distinguish between
the two. for the evening gown has
grown nearer and nearer to the soft
flowing lines OF the semi-negligee.
while the tea gown has broken its
sweeping draperles and fitted itself to
the lines Of the figure. The difference.
however, Is most likely to be found
IL material, for the tea gown has taken
to itself the rich velyets, cashmeres
and soft veilings, while evening gowns
remain as airy as possible. Lines tend
more to the flowing style, with sur
plice front and angel sleeves. Very
young girls, however, are wearing the
dearest little puffs that barely cover
the top Of the arm, while many Of the
newest full dress costumes are quite
guiltless Of sleeves. For these the
flower trimmings are popular. A trife
less pronounced is the angel sleeve.

which may be used as brooches or

a golden loop at the top that fits over
