Strenuous Times For Attorneys.

Review: These are strenuous
times for attorneys practicing be-
fore the district court in Glendive.
Where regular trials do not avail
to settle the contentious Of clients,
extra judicial proceedings of
more or less strenuosity is re-
sorted to.
This was true in the case Of w.
H. Orr VS.. Albert Welch and 9TH
ers, involving a restraining order
preventing the creation and main
tenance of school district No. 81,
east Of Wibaux. The county
treasurer, superintendent Of
schools and commissioners were
enjoined, along with Messrs. A.
L. Goodrich, Welch, F. Breiten-
fieldt, the three trustees of the
new district, who were present
in court.
This case had an unusual end
ing. When it was called in court,
since appearance had not been
made for all the defendants, it
was agreed to let the case 60
over for the term.
A few minutes later the plain
tiff with F. P. Leiper, his attor-
ney; the defendent trustees and
one Of their attorneys, Geo. H.
Purchase of Beach, N. d., met
in Mr.. Leiper's office to see if a
settlement could not be reached.
tits alleged that, during the
conversation, which caused the
mercury to raise a few degrees,
Atty. Purchase became rather
sassy" and Mr.. Leiper ordered
him out of the Office. Then MIR.
Orr and the others talked the
whole thing over, and it was
agreed to allow the court to make
the injunction permanent, which
means that the new scnoo
district went up in superheatec
atmosphere, it's originated having
been declared null and void. The
plaintiffs agreed to pay the court
costs, but amounted to only $5.
The trustees were moved tC

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
was born on the 9th of February,
1907, the same year with Whit
tier, at Portland, Maine. His
father was a prominent lawyer.
The first book that made a very
distinct impression on Henry was
Washington Irving's Sketch-book
which was published when he was
about twelve or thirteen years
old. The boy studied latin at his
fathers law office and he learned
very fast. He graduated from
Bowdoin college while yet young.
After his graduation he taught at
BoWdoin for five years, later he
taught Latin at Harvard Univer-
sity, all the while writing poetry.
His best works are Hiawatha,
Coangeline, and the Courtship of
Miles Standish. Longfellow died
March "a, 1882, in Cambridge,
Mass, which had been his home
for more than forty years.
