After the criminal calendar was
disposed of the Judge turned his at
tentfon to the issuing of naturaliza-
tion papers. There were firty-six
applicants present with their wit
nesses There were some intrsting
answers to questions of the Judge,
: in the absence Of the United States
representative 4.
Everyone whom the judge asked
whether or not he took an English
paper answered that he took the Bis
marck Tribune. They all evidently
think this is one qualification Of
citizenship. ls.:
One man, when asked the ages OF
his children, pulled out note book
where he had them all catalogued.
Another admitted that he voted at
the last election and when asked why,
he said his neighbors told him he
could, but that since coming to town
he learned that he could not.
One was asked what brought him
to the United States, and his answer
was: 81 vas a leetle kid, and me
mudder brung me-
None would admit that they evel
got drunk, or we're in fight. Nearl!
all were married, and had children
and those who had children of schoo
age had them in school.
All knew who the president OF th'
United States is and who had jus
been elected president.
Some did not know any county Of
ficers except the sheriff.
In undergoing the questionin
some were very nervous and seeme
to be impressed with the importanc
OF what they were going throug
with.
& One man In the clerk Of the court
office Monday afternoon tainted fror
the excitement he was laboring unde
about getting out his papers. The
were sturdy and vigorous body g
young men. All were educated 4
their native language and coul
write their own name easily On
