The Beach Advance last week
contained an article clipped from
another paper in regrard to
serious charge being brought
against Geo. Purchase, local at
torney, in connection with a divorce
case at Dickinson. In justice to
Mr.. Purchase we wish to state
that the article was incorrect.
The Advance editors eagerness to
publish such an article before in
vestigating it, simply because he
has dislike for the local attor-
ney, shows the calibre of his head.
The man bringing the charge
against the local party has many
times been arrested for drunkenness,
wife beating, etc., and took this
means of retaliating against the
lawyer who was representing his
wife in securing divorce. 1t was
simply case of blackmail. More
over, Mr.. Purhase was discharged
at Dickinson without bond and the
case will never come to trial.
Attorney Purchase is laughing over
the affair.

Vote LIGHT
THIS " EEK
This Means That the Girls Are
Busy--StiII Time to Set
Into the Game

Another week has passed and al
though there has been no voting to
speak of the contestants have all
been busy and will probably be
heard from next week.
Miss Ethel Pickering at Wibaux
was the only contestant to cast a
heavy vote and she turned in 1850,
giving her a total of 225O, putting
her in fifth place. She will no
doubt be heard from every week
hereafter and her supporters say
that she will make the rest of the
contestants sit up and take notice.
Miss Mable Kanouse with 1880
is reported working hard and the
Yates people are looking for her
to pile up a big vote before the
close.
The three Belfeld contestants are
hard at work and each will make
a determined effort to land the
fine trip to the Worlds greatest
exposition.
It is hard to tell at this stage
how the vote will run. In all
probability a number Of new can
didates will enter and they will
have to be considered. The Beach
girls have not cast any votes so far
and there is a splendid opportunity
for some one to get out and show
what she is made of, and earn a
little money on the side as we'll as
make an effort to win the trips.
A little later we intend publish
ing pictures of the different con-
testants so that our readers may
become better acquainted with
the young ladies who are endeavor-
ing to win the great prize.

organized athletics. has brought a

THE trouble with the game is that
the risk of life Inherent in it is in

1T Is perfectly clear that inteiii-

should be taken to remove this in

There exists an inter collegiate

EVIDENCE FOR TWO YEARS
Former Friend OF Theodore Have

After Latter's Death Because "He
Knew Too Much"-civil Service
Commission Issues Statement.
(By Associated press).

NEW YORK. Nov. lG--A new figure
was introduced tonight into the con-
troversy surrounding the Investigation
Of frauds charged to the American
Sugar Refining Company when Edwin
\. Anderson. a former superintendent
Il docks for the ct mpany and close
personal friend II the late Theodore
O. Havemcyer. announced through his
attorneys that he is the man referred
To by James b. Reynolds, former as
sistant secretary of the treasury. as
the one who gave the department the
FIRST specific information concerning
the frauds.
Anderson has filed claims with the
customs authorities for compensation
which he estimates will reach $1,000
O00.
For the past two years, he says.
he has been engaged in furnishing
evidence To the government and 1t
was through him. he asserts that
Richard Parr, who now figured so
prominently in The case. secured his
information. His activity came as a
result of encouragement which Rey-
nolds gave him.
he Knew Too Much.
Reviewing the case both by means
Of affidayits which were made several
months ago, and by verbal statements
tonight Anderson says that the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company request
ed his resignation after Mr.. Have
meyers death in 1903 on the theory
that he knew too much He had
then been in the companys employ
for 30 years. At that time, he had
no positive knowledge that frauds
were being committee. but he suspect
cd it, and as a result of Investigations
when he then undertook he came into
possession of what he calls positive
proof that the government was being
defrauded of at least 100000 a year
at the single refinery where he had
Seen employed
When he laid his evidence before
the authorities at Washington Ander-
son said. the matter was at once taken
I'D. He made several trips to Wash
ington. meeting Col. Gerry. chief of
the Customs department OF the treas
ury: Beekman Winthrop. formerly an
assistant secretary and others. Both
Col. Gerry and Mr. winthrop promis-
ed him. he says. that his claim for
Compensation should be allowed.
Moved Under Guard.
As does Parr. Anderson. says. that
while his investigations were in pro-
gress he was constantly Swallowed by
detectives and was 50 far convinced
that he vas in danger OF attack and
possibly assigned TO act as his body
guard.
Anderson asserts that all the i'm
portaut information which PsTr has
obtained was secured either from An
derson or from ArIersOn's friends
and assistants.
In his afidavits Anderson quotes
Parr - saying in one e their daily

BULL Land CASE IS
TO Be TRIED AGAIN
CASE INVOLVES NEARLY FIVE
SECTIONS OF VALUABLE
FARM LANDS.
Supreme Court Has Held That Mort
gage Foreclosure Was Illegal and
the Judgment Void.

The supreme court has, granted a
re-hearing in the case Of J. w. Bull
against Hugh Campbell, involving the
possession Of four and three-Quarter
sections of fine land northeast of the
city.
Campbell got the land back in the
territorial days, through foreclosure
of a mortgage against ]. Warren Coul-
ston, for $4,000. A few years ago
Bull bought quit claim deed from
Coulston and then sued for the right
to open the case in court on the
ground that the foreclosure Of the
mortgage was invalid and the judg-
ment OF foreclosure sale void.
The ground Of the claim was the
territorial statute that required an
affidavit of diligent search for the de-
PENDANT in a foreclosure proceeding,
when the defendant lived out Of the
state. Because of the defective af1i-
davit the supreme court held the mort
gage foreclosure illegal and the judg-
ment void.
Judge Corliss of Grand Forks, who,
with F. H. Register of this city, Is at
torney for Campbell. filed the petition
for re-hearing, which was granted
by the court and the order for re-hear-
ing entered before the adjournment
of court Wednesday. The case will
come on for hearing at the regular
October term of court.

500 LINE REPORTS CONDITIONS
THE BEST IN THE HISTORY
OF STATE.
Farmers From All Sections Of the
County Are Optimistic Over Pros
poets of Fine Crop.

Splendid rains are reported all
along the Missouri Slope Tuesday
night
The rain began locally at about 2
o'clock Wednesday morning. The rain
extended north and south, and as far
south as Linton there were heavy
rains, and through all the intervening
country.
North Of the city, along the 500
line good rains were also reported.
In some places the hot weather was
pushing the grain along little too
rapidly, and with continuation or
high temperature wheat would have
begun to head in a few days.
Farmers in the city from all sec
tions Wednesday were pleased 1T the
prospects and say the rains of this
week will insure good growth and
with fair weather from 1ow on and
occasional showers the prospects are
for a splendid crop. Range grass is
high and long and pastures will supply
abundant feed.
