NOTED CALF CASE
AFTER EXPENSE OF OVER $1oo A
STRAY CALF is AWARDED
TO CLAIMANT

Bismarck was treated yesterday to
celebrated calf case-not exactly
like the Iowa case, which grew to
$4,000 proportions, but nevertheless a
lively case.
Last fall Fred Monier lost black
calf from his herd of cattle and later
discovered that his neighbor, G. o.
Engdahl, had in his herd a calf an.
swering the description of the lost
one. Various expedients were resort
ed to by both parties to establish the
ownership, but without avail and fin
ally Monier replevined the calf. This
action resulted in a lawsuit, which
was tried yesterday before Judge
Fort in the city hall. The parties
came together at II o'clock a. m. and
a large number of witnesses appear.
ed for both sides and large mass
of evidence was evolved.
Viggo Johnson appeared for the
plaintiff and Geo. M. Register for the
defendant.
The crowd in attendance outrival-
ed that in the district court and ii
got considerable fun out of the trial
At 1915 pm. the attorneys had fin.
ished their summing up. It was good
too, what they said and spirited. II
went into the hands of the six jury
men who rendered a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff.

SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT

FIRST NATIONAL BANK HAS RE.
CElvED ITS STEEL BOXES AND
FITTINGS FOR NEW DEPART.
URE.
Yesterday artisans were busy put
ting in place the new doors ana graf
ings for the front of the new safety
deposit vault in that institution A
case of 100 deposit boxes Of different
sizes was placed in the vault for the
accommodation of it's patrons who de-
sire safe place to keep valuable pa
pers. Each of the boxes has two
locks and keys, the renter having one
and the bank the other, so that no
one can open a box unless bank
employee unlocks the other lock, thus
preventing loss through losing key
and the finding of it by other than
the owner. The boxes are rented at
so much per year by customers and
are then for their exclusive use.
These are the first safety deposit
boxes in the city and will prove a
great convenience to all in ICED Of
such matters.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

New York. Aug. 2j.--Down In the
banking district, who're men deal in
money and stocks and bonds and 9TH
or things that represent values, there
Is a feeling that the railroads furnish
the bulk of the momentum that car
rieS on business one of those peculiar
characters who delvos and works be-
low to find out why things show on
the surface believes that unless the
railroad is prosperous. the country
feels hard times. TINS +" his argument.
Who buys the most lumber?
The Railroads. They use tho most
ties, bridge timber, fencing, etc. etc,
and they buy cars of car companies
who buy enormous quantities of the
best timber. Then they keep the farm
ers busy getting out ties in the winter
Who is affected when the railroads
stop buying lumber. as has happened
during the past year?
The lumber companies restrict their
output the saw mill men are laid off
so are the timber cutters. the team
sters, the office forces, the supply men.
Then ire concerns who sci aGZes, saws,
axes. grease. wagons, horses and the
thousand and one requirements in that
line of business notice a material re-
duction in their business.
What do they do?
They lay off employees, cut down eX-
penses stop buying the raw material
from which their stock is manufactul-
ed.
Who suffers?
That's easy. Each employe all
along the line of the business with so
many ramiicatons, reduces his ex-
penses, cuts down to the quick and
the merchant and seller of supplies
To the HOUSEHOLD finds his trade grow
ing smaller and smaller
And then?
The retailer cuts his orders and the
iobber cuts his and along we come 10
the manufacturer Of things for the
human being and his living and he, in
turn. lays off men and they in turn so
around the same circle of economy.
And so on. argues this philosopher, in
the steel business and all others and
in the labor market, Is the prosperity
and the money spending ability OF the
railroad the foundation OF business
There is n plethora OF money in
banks but the railroads cannot Dor
row 1t ana spend it. because their
credit Is exhausted. Whenever the
railroads can again show that they can
pay the interest ON new loans, then
will prosperity return.
This aualyzer Of conditions thinks
that a merchant would rather pay so
year more freight and do $500
more business. than pay $40 less
freight ana do $4,000 less business.
