BANK CASE DECISION
TO Be MADE Later

The hearing in the case of the Mer-
chants National bank vs. the county of
Stark, through its treasurer, John Riess-
beck, was held before Judge w. c.
Crawford in judicial chambers Monday
afternoon. The case is one brought by
the bank to determine the legality oil
the act of the commissioners in design
ating the county depositaries for 1909 as
they did.
". F. Burnett argued the side of the
bank and the reasons for bringing the
suit are already wellknown to the public
There are several specifications, one
being that the commissioners did not
advertize for bids for the county money
as required by law.
The defense put up is that the bank
has not taken the proper way to test the
legality of the act and that the writ of
prohibition was not properly brought.
They admit some of the plaintiff s
specifications.
The county is represented by State s
Attorney M. L. Mcbride and L. A Simp-
son.
Judge Crawford gave both sides ten
days in which to file briefs of the case
and will then take the matter under con-
sideration and give decision.

NO SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION HELD

The annual convention of the Stark
County Sunday School association was
scheduled to take place at the Congrega-
tional church in this city on Wednesday
and Thursday of this week. However.
owing to the fact that the convention
was not given due advertizing and
the officers negligent in arranging a
program, there was practically no one
in attendance and the meeting had to be
called off. Rev. John Orchard, the state
Sunday school superintendent, was
here ready to conduct series of meet
ings. but no delegates or speakers ap-
peared. The very bad weather would
have made the attendance small anyway
so it is perhaps just as well that the
convention has been postponed until
sometime in September. At that time,
an attempt will be made to make the
meeting an unusually big success,
strong program of speakers will be
arranged and due notice given to make
the attendance record breaker.

SCOTT GORE CASE IS
POSTPONED TO MAY II

The case of the state vs. Scott Core
the rancher from out north. for alleged
rape on Anna Hajny, formerly of this
city. which has long been on the justice
court docket, has received another post
ponement. A hearing was set for Mon
day before Justice Folsom. The prose-
cution witnesses were on hand but some
of those on the defense were not, so a
continuance was asked.
The case was put over to May II. the
day before district court convenes. In
this way if the preliminary trial in
justice court results in the binding over
of the defendant it will be possible to
use the witnesses at the district court
without the expense which would be
incurred if second trip to the city
was necessary. Practically all of the
witnesses come from a long distance
out in the country which makes a big
expense to get them here.

Three TIMES As
MANY BORN AS DIE

The report Of the state board of health
for February shows that there were
about three times as many births in
the state that month as there were
deaths, the totals being 653 of the
former and 232 of the latter.
Here in Stark county 10 births were
reported and three deaths, making the
birth rate little higher in this county
than in this state as whole. In
Billings county one death was reported
but no births. Dunn county had births
and S deaths and Hettinger county II
births and deaths. The highest birth
rate was in Griggs county where the
proportion was Is to 1. Richland
county had IL births to Is deaths.

DICKINSON WILL have
WINTER LECTURE COURSE

A number of citizens of the city
have formed an association known as
the Citizens Lecture Course association
of Dickinson and will offer course of
five lyceum attractions to the people of
the city next winter. Hon. Joseph H.
Batten of Grand Forks. the western
representative of the Columbian lecture
bureau. has been in the city the past
day or two. talking up the matter, and
at a meeting of about 40 citizens Thurs
day niaht it was decided to undertake
the venture. 60 ~
\ Mr.. Batten is himself a very fine
lecturer and goes all over the country
filling engagements as one of the at
fractions of the bureau.
The idea seemed to he favorably re-
ceived and it was believed that if the
citizens co-operated with the members
of the association that the course could
be made success. An executive COM
mittee was elected. consisting of Rev.
w. J. Brown. president; Rev. F. L.
Watkins. vice president: F. D.
Hevener, treasurer; Dr.. v. H. Stickney
and A. T. Crowl. The committee
will appoint two more members.
The details of the course have not been
settled but it will probably contain about
five numbers. 10 cost about $500.

TRAMPs MUST NOT
!. sTeP IN DICKINSON

There has been a war on tramps de-
cIared by Chief of Police Corbett and
unless suspicious looking party, hang
ing about the streets or railroad wards,
can show some means of support, he
will have to leave the city at his top
most speed and not come back. He will
be assisted by parting send off from
the chief which will make him cut Dick
inson from his itinerary if he ever goes
through here again. Notices to this
effect have been posted over town and
will be enforced. All those who resist
or create any sort of disturbance will
be brought in the city court and
allowed to work on the streets. But if
these get too numerous they will have
to crack stone at some conspicuous
point, manicled and chained. Last
Saturday Judge J. van der Las SEN
fenced two offenders, one to 10 days
work on the street and the other to IS

TOWNS ALONG \. P.
MAY FORM LEAGUE

The baseball enthusiasts in cities east
of here are talking of forming North
ern Pacific Baseball League. to include
the towns of Valley City. jamestown.
Bismarck. Mandan, New Salem and
Dickinson. The scheme is to sign all
home talent players and play only Sun
days and holidays and few special
occasions. in most Of these cities
teams have already been organized but
no definite plans have been made for
joining the league and it is not known
whether all the towns mentioned would
join it. The matter will soon be taken
up with each team and the league
formed if possible.
All the towns are on the line of the
Northern Pacific and the round trips can
usually be made in one day. which
will cut down the expense and do more
toward making the plan success A
schedule of games could be arranged
which would make the 1909 baseball
season the most interesting for years.

Farmers INSTITUTES

Superintendent Hoverstad of the
farmers institutes has just closed a
successful series of winter meetings
and is now arranging for. a number of
gatherings.to be held during the sum-
mer. commencing about May "a and
ending along the first of July. He has
96 applications and will endeavor to
include in the schedule places where

From present plans. it is probable that
towns along the Milwaukee in Bowman
and Adams counties will be visited first
and then trip to the new parts of the
country in Hettinger and Morton coun-
ties. probably meeting in New England
and some towns along the Heart river.
The summer quota of speakers will in
clude many Of the institute favorites

MEET TONIGHT
Stockholders Have Not Yet Sc
lected Site for Masonic Tenn
ple-Meeting Saturday
Evening of This Week.

Forty or Fifty members met in Masonic
hall last Saturday evening to discuss
the matter of erecting temple. Chair
man v. H. Stickney presided. He an
nounced that $19, 500 had been SUBJ
scribed toward the proposed building
and that there was enough set aside
by the different bodies of the order to
make total of $22, 700.
The location of the new home is the
bone of contention just now. From the
temper of the meeting it is apparent
that only two corners can be considered
at this time. namely the Stickney and
the Linsley corner sites. The so feet
on the Linsley corner can be had for the
Masonic temple, without the buildings
for S., 600; the rs feet on the Stickney
corner, without the buildings can be
had for 50. 600.
The members did not appear to be
ready to vote on the matter and by
unanimous consent the time was fixed
for Saturday evening, April "a, at 7 80
O'Clock.
A draft of the proposed incorporation
papers was read. The Dickinson
Masonic Building Association is the
name, capitalized al $40, 600. 1t was
suggested that the nine parties who
had subscribed 81, 600 each for the
building be named as incorporators.
This, however. will be determined Satur-
day night.

RARE PHOTOGRAPH
HAS LOCAL INTEREST

Not many who attended the engineers
ball and saw the picture of Bill Robert
son, who founded the order of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
were aware of the fact that the picture
was taken at the home of a Dickinson
pioneer, Yankee Thompson, and
that the first branch of the order was
formed in Mr.. Thompson home, at
Marshall, Mich.
Such, however, is the case and the
picture is one of two supposed to be the
only two in existence, both in the pos
session of Mr.. Thompson widow, Mrs.
Sarah Thompson. An interesting story
is connected with the picture. 1t was
taken about 1862. Mr.. Robertson had
conceived the idea of forming brother
hoods for the protection of railroad men
from being on the road himself. His
ideas met with disfavor by the railroads
and he was boycotted in his travels and
forced to ride in box cars and freight
trains.
Mr.. Thompson and family lived at
Marshall, Mich, then where he was
in the railroad business and the men
all met at his home where Mr.. Robert
son organized the first brotherhood. 1t
was called the Brotherhood OF the Foot
Boards but later became the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. The photo
grabs were taken then and have always
been valued by the Thompsons.
The order is now very fourishing and
branches exist in all parts Of our country.
A big national home is to be erected at
Cleveland, Ohio. and the national
officers are anxious to get hold of one
of the portraits to pc placed in the
home. As Mrs. Thompson has two
copies. it is quite likely that she will
donate one for this purpose.

amined and surveyed in detail, so at
the end Of the season it will be possible
to know exactly what land can be irri-
gated and what the cost per acre will
be. 1t will then be up to the land
owners to say whether they desire the
project to be carried through.
Under recent order issued by the
reclamation service it is now possible
for the farmers along the line of a new
project to work out their payments. or a
part of them, by the use of their teams
on the construction of the main bitches.
There is no question but what alfalfa
raising could be carried on in these
parts of North Dakota, under irrigation.
with great success.

they leave. The position offered is in
the line of work for which Mr.. White

well warrants the change. Further than
this Montreal is beautiful city in
