BOWLER HAS
ENDED ADDRESS
ON DEMURRER
SUIT AGAINST TREASURER'S
BONDSMEN CONTINUED IN
TIL MONDAY.

Attorney p. NJ. Bowler, who for
the past two days has been argu-
ing on the demurrer and motion
to amend the complaint in the suit
filed against former county treasur-
err, r, f. Gilbert, and his bonds
men. concluded his address yester-
day morning. District Attorney
Cleve II. Baker then started on his
remarks for the state and will prob
probably conclude Monday, as an
adjournment was taken to this
date.
The suit to recover from the
bondsmen of Gilbert, a sum equal
to that lost by the closing of the
Nye and Ormsby County bank, but
this appears impossible owing tc
the construction of the law, as eX-
emplified by Mr.. Bowler, which
shows the matter of removing funds
from designated depository lies
within the power of the county
commissioners, and not by the
treasurer

Everyone loves to listen to the
deeds of daring and skill and all
wish to see such deeds enacted.
The more dangerous they are, the
more interesting and attractive they
become. Thousands of men will
sit for hours in close and stuffy
building to see two men, trained
and toughened for their work, en-
deavor to pound each other into
insensibility with padded gloves.
Every year hundreds of thousands
of the best young blood of our
country throng to the amphitheatre
to see their college favorites strug-
gle for football supremacy, and no
one cheers the battered and victor
I ious more enthusiastically than the
ethereal looking society girl whom
one would think would be more in
terested in music birds or flowers
than in fierce physical struggle
where human life and limbs are
at stake.
Then it was not mere defea
of college colors, but the rendine
of limb from limb of the magni
ficent specimens of physical man

in CLAY COUNTY
sss BIRTHS TO 215 DEATHS IN
CLAY COUNTY DURING YEAR
1908 ACCORDING TO REPORT
RECEIVED BY CLERK OF COURT
FROM STATE.

Clerk of Court McCubrey Of Moor
head. has received from the state
board of health of Minnesota an alb
stract giving in detail the births and
deaths, during the year 1908, in Clay
county, including the city of Moor
head.
In Clay county as a whole, the num-
Der OF deaths during the year named
was 2l5 and the number of births 500.
In the city OF Moorhead there were
So deaths and 81 births. In the mat
ter Of deaths the figures are consider
ed accurate as the only deaths which
may go unrecorded are those of in
fants who may have died Immediately
after birth in remote farming COM
munities where perhaps there has
been no official or medical attention
called to the matter.
In the matter of births the figures
are likely to be under the number
actually born as there are persons who
neglect to make reports to the author
tiles, despite tine heavy fine which
may be imposed. Such cases are
generally through ignorance, how
ever.

POLICE HAVE A
man OF MYSTERY
SUFFERING FROM BREAK DOWN
DUE TO OLD AGE, oRIEN WHIT
MAN, INMATE OF CITY JAIL.
HUGS TO HIS BsEAsT SECRET
OF HIS PAST LIFE.

In Orien Whitman, SO years old,
homeless and friendless, the police OF
Fargo fortthe last week have. been en-
PERTAINING a imam of mystery" Since
his committal to the receiving cell or
the police station early "Wednesday
morning, March "a the old man has
seen the subject OF much speculation
When he was taken into custody his
was believed to be a case of plain
drunk" Two or three hours later the
police changed their minds and enter
tanned the theory. that the, old man was
demented. A few days later his con-
ciition was diagnozed as due to old
age, pure and simple. Now the latter
theory is inclined to, but with modln-
cations. These are that Whitman Is
not as feeble mentally as. ne would
nave the police believe, but is hugging
to his breast little tragedy of real
life he is averse to making public to
cold an unsympathetic world.
Whitman was found lying in an al
ley back of Luger's furniture store at
o'clock last wednesday morning by
Patrolmen Bowler and Korsmo. They
believed him DRINKS At police head
quarters he was unable or unwilling
to give more than his name and was
turned into the. receiving cell. When
the time cane for him to be arraigned
before Judge Ryan he was found TO be
slightly Irrational. Pnysicians were
called In. They pronounced him sane
| but suffering from a break down due
| 20 old age. Owing to his feeble con-
dition he has been allowed to remain
iii the city Jail for the past week, the
police intending 20 let him go when he
| became stronger. He has improved
but little, and it is now the plan OF
the county physician TO take him to
/ the county hospital this afternoon.
SO far as is known he has not O
single acquaintance in either Fargo
or Moorhead. The police have been
unable to learn where he came from
or where he was bound for when ne
wandered into the alley back of Luz
gers. TO all their questions he has
returned evasive ard misleading re-
plies. 1t is believed to be not be-
i yond the bonds OF possibility that
whitman untfl recently was receiving
care from persons. either relatives OF
/ some charitable institution, who de-
i cided to shift the Aresponsibility OF his
| care onto strangers, 1t mas been s1g-
gested that these persons bought the
old man ticket to this city or Moor
head, bundled him onto train and
sent him Off, relying on his enfeebled
mental and physical condition to pre-
vent him from recollecting where he

WANTS $500 FOR
HIS DAUGHTER
GYPSY FATHER BELIEVES THAT
GIRL SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT
THAT SUM FROM MAN SHE
MARRIED-sTEALs HER FROM
HER HUSBAND.

That his daughter, who was married
in Moorhead last Friday should have
brought him $1,500 in good hard cash
instead of throwing herself away for
nothing is the contention Of the gypsy
father of the new wife of Charles
Wells. This was brought out in a
hearing in Moorhead.
The action was before Court Com
missioner Witherow, and after hearing
quite an array of conflicting, but very
interesting evidence, which brought
out in bold relief the social and mar
riage customs Nof the gypsy tribes
Commissioner Witherow granted e
Charles Wells a writ of habeas cor
pus to gain possession of his young
gypsy wife, Alma Fryer. The case
was heard yesterday afternoon and
evening. v -' 1850
Wells and the Fryer girl were mar
ried in Moorhead last Friday by Judge
Sharp. When he heard his daughter
had been married, the father went ..ut
in search of her and found her in The
bridal chamber at. the Fargo house
Front street. Fargo. The father hus-
tied his daughter back to Moorhead
Yesterday Wells engaged a lawyer
and Commissioner Witherow was ap-
piled: to for a writ of habeas corpus
Wells was at disadvantage because
his bride and her father talked a dia
lect which he and the court officers
did not understand.
1t developed at the hearing that the
angry. father was principally perturbed
because Wells had obtained his daugh-
ter without cost-in other words hi
had not bought her.
During the hearing 1t transpired
that the father OF the bride had said
that she was too good to give away
that he had promised her to the head
Of band of Turks and was to get
$1,000 for her. At last reports Wells
had not yet obtained possession of his
wife. That the latter was in fear OF
her father and rather Inclined to OBJ
serve the customs of her tribe. placed
Wells in a rather ticklish position and
he was without the means to meet the
fathers price for his daughter.
