COURT ADJ0URNs
THURSDAY NIGHT
Some Interesting Court Cases Were
Heard and Family Quarre1s
Settled

The adjourned term of court
convened Monday when the court
cases were taken up.
The case of Otto G. Grosz VS..
McHugh Christianson Go. will be
heard in Bismarck next week. The
plaintiff wants a deed to his home
stead in Underwood set aside. This
deed he claims was given by him
to a grain firm in Minnesota upon
the representation that they would
furnish him money with which to
carry on his business and they
failed to do so. Mockler & Maen-
mel arc the attorneys for the plain
tiff and Newton & Dullam' for the
defendant:
In the case of Absher VS.. Chase
the court granted an order to dis
miss the case. It was an action
brought to compel the specific
performance of a contract to con-
yey a section of land in Mclean
county, Mockler & Maennel for
plaintiff, Hyland & Nuessle for
defendant.
The plaintiff in the Pankratz
VS.. Geo. l.. Robinson case, was
denied relief. Herbert F. O'Hare
was the attorney for plaintiff and
Gen. Andrew Miller and Hyland
& Nuessle for defendant. Pan
kratz brought action to compel
reconveyance to him Of 40 acres of
land adjoining townsite of Gar
rison or for $4, 600 damages.
The defendant objected to any
introduction of any evidence on
the ground that the complaint was
defective and did not state the
cause of action. Objection sus-
tanned and action dismissed.
The case of Gilbert Holtan vs..
John A. Beck to determine who is
the sheriff of Mclean county, was
before the court only few min
utes. The attorney for the plain
tiff showed where j. A. Beck had
voted at the primary election;
which town he had called home
when he circulated his petition for
sheriff; and the commissioners
proceedings which stated that Gill
bert Holtan had been appointed
by the koard to fill the vacancy
made by the sheriff living in the
new county. The defendant moved
that the case he dismissed on the
ground that the plaintiff had failed
to make a case, court overruled the
motion. Defendant stood upon
his motion and the court on mo.
tion Of the plaintiff ordered judg-
ment for the plaintiff. The case
will be appealed to the supreme
court. Attorneys for plaintiff
McC cCulloch & Gibson, Engerud,
Holt & Frame; for defendant Hy-
land & Nuessle.
The case Of James Fl. Thompson
vs.. James Bartron is a neighborly
quarrel over the use Of a we'll.
The we'll is claimed to be on land
owned by Bartron and that when
it was dug other parties would
have the use Of it. Owing to the
illness of Attorney Williams of
Wilton the case was discontinued
here and will be heard in Bismarck
next week.
The court heard the testimony
in the divorce case Of Pace vs.
Pace; the court ordered judgment
for the plaintiff.
A great many court cases have
either been dismissed or set over

October.

About Sunday Base Bali Gsmes.

An article was published in the
Leader last week headed Preacher
Rooted at Sunday Game" This
morning a letter was received from
Rev. Ogden asking to have the ar
ticle corrected that was copied
from the Jamestown Daily Capt.
tai. He says he attended the ball
game in order to qualify as COM
planning witness in an action to
test the legality Of Sunday base
ball. His comparison between the
action of the ball players and that
of protesting Christians is as fol-
lows: "When the actions are con-
sidered of the ball players,
who are not Christians and
make no profession of religion
whatever, and those who do make
profession of the Christian religion
and who had just come
from 9 h hurc h, the ba III
players are less blameworthy.' A
numbers of players were arrested
after the game but the case has
been dropped.

Our Coal in Great Demand Now.

VUl wal ~ VlS0t VSuou0 NVWs
North Dakora Ignite is given
big boost in the New York Sun, of
last Sunday. It says that cheap
coal has risen in value because it
does twice the work of the more
expensive high grade coal.
According to reports by govern
ment experts on fuel the gas en-
gine is capable of generating from
two and a half tothree timesas much
power from a given amount of coal
as the steam engine.
1t economies also in another
way. Fuel with SO high a percen-
tage Of impurity that it could not
hitherto be used in factories can
now be made to generate sufficient
power by means Of gas engine to
do the same work that otherwise
would require double the quantity
of high grade coal.
Quoting The National Magazine
it said that the Ignite coal of
North Dakota has thus been made
to give out as much gas engine
force as the best West Virginia
and bitumin ous coal used under
steam boilers. "
Some sort Of coal is indigenous
to almost all parts af America, but
the fact that in the average steam
engine only 5 percent of the coal
energy is transformed into actual
working power made low grade
coal of little commercial value un-
til the perfection of the gas en-
CINE, which increases the efficiency
of fuel by almost IL per cent.
Time Was when the big mills
had to be placed beside some swift
running stream to secure water
power, Later on factories sought
to be in the vicinity of the great
coal fields, but today, with the
generating power of the gas en-
gine, it is matter of little impor-
tance so far as power is concern
ed-where plant is built.

TAFT BIDDING BID FOR VOTES

There was time when the office of
sidercd a position of honor, and when it
was calculated to he filed with dignity
when the president would no more
get out and scramble for votes than he
would commit hari kari-but that time
is now past. With the incoming of
Roosevelt an era of precedents unknown
in the history of any civilized country
was inaugurated and is finding a worthy
continuance in the successor of the
strenuous one-Taft.
Taft has. through the coaching of his
master decided that the south must fur
nish some votes next time for the re-
publican party and agreeable to that
idea he is now bOmbarding the south
erners by pretended residence among
them. Of course, he is treated with
that courtesy and consideration which
is characteristic of the southland and
rs result he imagines that he is MAX
ing many votes for the next occasion.
That he will pull the wool over the
eyes of some there can be no doubt, hut
that he will sedrlce enough of the
voters by his transparent game is
hardly probable. The people of the
south do not feel that they have much
TO expect from any republican admin
istration, and they have not. They
have had plenty Of this kind of sop be,
