The supreme court OF the state
has decided that the law providing
for the hanging Of prisoners at the
penitentiary by the warden Is con-
stitutional, and Robert s. Noah and
the Peltier Bros. will stretch hemp
at Bismarck according to original
plans. The point was raised, when
the supreme court decided the tenn
perance commissioners case, holding
that the county officers had certain
rights which could not be delegated
by the legislature to others. Judge
Spalding still holds that the peniten-
tiary hanging law conflicts with the
duties of the sheriffs, but Fisk and
Morgan think otherwise.

which Is run in connection with the

Attractive, and very complete bills
OF fare have been gotten out this
week, and a chef, w. o. Bressler,
placed in charge of the place. Prac-
tically everything conceivable in the
short order line can be secured day
or night, and already business Is very
brisk at the Scandinavian Cafe.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-09-17

Mr.. Bressler is an old cafe man
ager and thoroly understands every
phase of the business.
An Independent correspondent was
shown thru the place this afternoon.
The kitchen, which in many places
is none too clean, is kept spotlessly
clean at the Scandinavian. The huge
range is kept almost red hot all of
the time, so that orders can be serv-
ed on time, and the refrigerator is
just jamb full of meats, fruits, and
everything good to eat in season. The
Scandinavian still serves regular
meals as before.
