Hearing At Grand Forks,

Accused Physician Valves Preliminary
Hearing At Grand Forks.
DR.. John Fawcett was held to the
district court in $4,000 bond by Judge
r.. J. Purcell at Grand Forks. The
states two important witnesses, DR..
O'keefe and William Marble, were
shut off from testifying by the courts
ruling, but the defense decided to
waive examination without having the
state put in any further evidence.
One reason why the defense decided
to waive was that States Attorney
Wineman had intimated that in case
the justice failed to hold DR.. Fawcett
ON the charge Of performing an illegal
operation he would file an information
charging DR.. Fawcett with murder in
the second degree and would bring the
matter directly before the district
court, now lin session. DR.. Fawcett
furnished the $4,000 bond required and
was released from custody.
Judge Purcell held that disclosures
made to DIR. O'Keefe by Lille Schmo-
chel were confidential and that q ply
stefan cannot submit as evidence any
thing told him by patient unless the
parents give him permission to do so
and the statement is an ante-mortem
declaration. The court held that the
alleged disclosures made by Miss
Schmochel to William Marble were not
admissible on the ground of their be-
Ing hearsay evidence. Marble testi-
fed at the coroners inquest that Miss
schmochel told him before her death
that DR.. Fawcett had performed an H.
legal operation.
The case will be tried at the March
term of the district court and will
come up the last of the month,

Grand Forks will enter" a vigorous
protest against a proposition to close
to navigation the Red river from
Breckenridge, Mimi, to Grand Forks.
In the summer the Red River Trans
postation cempany's boats ply between
Grand Forks and Belmont, up river,
and great quantities OF ! grain are
brought to Grand Forks and reshipped
over the railway lines. Navigation is
carried on to points below Oslo, which
Is also made a terminal point. From
Grand Forks to Belmont is about thir-
ty>fve miles, and at many points
along the river there are warehouses
where grain is reshipped. There is
also quite traffic in wood cut along
the river banks. From Belmont to
Fargo the river has not been naviga'

The plan now Is to close the river
to navigation and make 1t possible to
construct dams, build flxed bridges
and other structures. y.

bina, has been placed in the peniten-
tiary at Bismarck.
While being transferred from the
Northern Pacific depot to the Great
Northern depot at Grand Forks Ross
was shackled and handcuffed. He was
handcuffed on the way down from
Pembina to Grand Forks, and the
shackles were added just before the
train reached Grand Forks. Ross told
the sheriff that 1t was good thing
that the shackles were put on him,
for he probably never would have
reached the Great Northern depot
alive. He had planned to break for
liberty just after arriving at Grand
Forks.
Despite the efforts Of the authorities
to Induce Ross to tell who were the
two men who had aided him to crack
the Great Northern safe at Walhalla
and rob the Hellfach jewelry store, he
stood pat and told them he would take
life sentence rather than peach"
on his confederates.
Ross was disappointed when Judge
Kneeshaw gave him such a severe
sentence. He has a long criminal
record in North Dakota Minnesota and
western Canada, and was recently
recaptured in Winnipeg after making
his escape from the Pembina Jail.
O'Neill, who made his escape from
Pembina jail with Ross, has not been
caught.

A Christmas Remembrance Our GrGnd-
 mothers Found Very Useful.
 The stocking bag, as 1t was called, used to be a great favorite with our grandmothers for keeping their knit ting wools > in; but, while they used brown holland for its manufacture, the modern bag is made in old rose linen with the embroidery done in black cot ton, color scheme which is extremely effective. For good sized bag a yard of linen is required, the actual bag talk ing three-fourths of a yard and the strip for the pockets one-fourth yard.
 First take the linen for the bag and make broad hem with place for drawstring at the top. Then fold the
