many other places, even III the small
er boroughs and towns of the state.
The worst of it is that it is done
undisguised of maintaining law
and order and is frequently done
according to law.
In Lackawana county there are
nearly hundred aldermen and JUS
tees of the peace. There are as
many more constableS and each con-
stable has two or three deputies.
This army of men do nothing but
follow their official business for liv-
ing, and when legitimate business
is slow they often have to create
business. Advantage Is taken OF the
foreigners, with which the coal re
gions swarm, and they are handed
into the Justices court and fined on
every possible preteXt, charges be-
ing trumped up against them, If no
real misdemeanor exists. The fine
of course, together with "costs" is
divided among the crowd who make
the arrest and sit in judgment upon
the case.
1t is a serious indictment to bring
against the machinery of justice III
this land of the free that it is be-
ing used principally to collect funds
for the support of a lot Of miserable
cornorants from the ussophisticated
aliens who come among us, but the
fact is too evident in many cases to
dispute.
Furthermore, our legislators are
either hood winked into or lend
themselves maliciously to the pro-
motion of this system. For what
other reason are the game and fish
laws changed so frequently that even
the intelligent dare not attempt the
sport without copy of the law past
ed in their hats unless it is to hefOg
and mlstify the ignorant and catch
them with fine?
Laws are supposed to be founded
upon Justice and equity and to be
enforced in the same spirit. If, in
stead, they are prOstituted to base
purposes, it becomes the shame of

PETER Bake OF GRAND FORKS COuN.
N VICTIM OF TRAGIC END AT
WEDDING CELEBRATION.
&C. state Hist. s.el..-

Grand Forks, N. D., July TO-
The report has just reached Grand
Forks of terrible accident which
occurred last Thursday in the ex-
treme southwestern part of the
county, on the Slinden farm.
A large company of friends and
neighbors had gathered to cele-
brate the wedding of Martin H.
Slinden and Miss Ragnhild Syver-
son, and for the occasion Peter
Bakke, a young man 35 years of
age, son of Ellef Bakke, had de-
vised cannon from a piece of
boiler tlue. He had successfully
fired it off once, and tried to re-
peat the operation, but it hung
fire." and thinking that it was not
going to explode, he approached
and bent directly over the I'M
provised cannon, and at the same
instant, without the slightest
warning, the terrible explosion
occurred. The cannon was blown
to fragments, and the full charge
struck the young man in the
breast, INJECTING a terrible wound,
and lifting him bodily into the air.
AS he struck the ground he made
a motion toward his heart with his
right hand, then threw both arms
outward, and was no more. Death
was instantaneous. There were a.
great many who witnessed the ter
rible accident, and the sudden ad--
vent of death in the midst of re-
joicing, filled all with sorrow and
sadness, and cast a shroud Of
gloom over the happy wedding
festivities. Mr.. Bake was the
eldest of three sons and the main
stay and support of his parents,
who we're heart-broken over his
untimely end. The deceased was
widely known and esteemed, and
a host of friends extend sympathy
to the stricken parents and rela-
tives in their great bereavement.

STATE BAR MEETS
IN MlN0T IN AUG.
ANNUAL CONVENTION OF LAWYERS TO
OCCUPY Two DAYS-EXCELLENT
PROGRAMME ARRANGED.

Minot, N. D., July 5.-Accord-
ing to Secretary Thomas of Leeds,
the annual meeting of the State
Bar association, which will take
place in Minot on August s and 8,
will be the largest meeting of the
association ever held. Former
meetings have been confined to
one day only, but the prospects
for the August meeting in the
Magic City are so great that the
officers have decided to continue
the work for two days. The Off
GERS of the association are as fol-
lows:
Here is what Secretary Thomas
Gays in his circular letter to the
attorneys:
Committee of Jurisprudence and
Law Reform-E. H. Wright,
chair man, Fargo; Hon. John Car
modH, Hillsboro; Silver Serum
gard, Devils Lake; L. j. Palda,
Minot; w. L. Nussel, Washburn.
F. H. Register, president, Bis
marck.
Lee Coombs, vice-president,
Valley City.
w. H. Thomas, secretary and
treasurer, Leeds.
This will be the greatest con-
vcntion in the history of the asso-
citation to date, and this is not an
idle statement. Never in the his
tory of the association has so
much business been transacted as
will be transacted at the coming
Minot convention. The commit
tees are all working and reports
will be had from them all. As
you have been informed before,
Hon. w. T. Hughes of Chicago,
will give the principal address at
the meeting and his subject is to
be "The Immutable Elements of
Jurisprudence" Two days time
will be devoted to this convention,
which is twice as much time as
has ever been devoted heretofore.
1t is already assured that the at
tendance of this convention will
be larger than at the previous
meeting. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that we will have at least
100 new members added to the as
sociation during the year,

experimental farm, power house
and other places of interest. They
stated that the proposed north

nothing definite as to the time was
given out. They spoke very high
ly of Williston, stating that it was

ELEVATOR BURSTS;
A MAN IS KILLED
THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS OF WHEAT
DUMPED ON CR0UND--DAMACE

Bismarck, n. D., July 10.-The
west end of the Lonk elevator at
Mandan let 60 Friday afternoon
with a report that was heard all
over town. Thousands of bushels
of wheat were dumped on the
ground while several thousand
dollars damages was done to the
building.
In making an examination to
find the cause of the accident, the
searchers came across the body of
a man under the wheat. 1t was
at first thought that he could be
revived, but all efforts we're in
vain.
A card from an employment
agency on the body showed that
he had shipped from Duluth for
Richardton, N. D., recently and
gave the mans name as j. Kelly.
Physicians say Kelly had recently
been under the influence of liquor.
The body is being held pending
word from the Duluth police de-
partment.

The Orioles descended on Minot
last Sunday and surprised the ma

Sundays game was dandy and
will be remembered for many a

seen in this state.
For eleven innings not man
scored and the spectators were on
their feet nearly every inning by
the sensational fielding of both
sides.
Our boys we're on their feet all
the time and taking advantage of
every opportunity. Three times

not discourage them and they only
tried the harder next time.

BALL PLAYERS
WERE CHEERED
DISMISSED BY JURY, they RECEIVE
HEARTY OVATION AT THE HANDS
OF FRIENDS.

jamestown, N. d., July o.
Nearly 100 people were in attend
ance at the hearing in justice
court Thursday when the case of
Bert Nierling, charged with viola
ton of the Sunday law, was
brought on for hearing. The
three players demanded separate
jury trials, and Mr.. Nierling was
the first player tried. Public
opinion seemed to be almost uni
versally in favor of the arrested
parties, who are all citizens born
and bred here and a large follow
ing of friends gave them their
moral support in the court room.
Attorney for the defense made a
defense based largely on the mean
ing and intent of the legislators as
expressed in the statute, and in
sisted that Sunday baseball was
not embraced within the meaning
of the term Sunday sports," and
gave his Interpretation of the
phrase. He insisted that if the
legislature had intended to pro-
hibit ball playing that they would
have so declared in the statute.
The :jury found the player not
guilty without leaving their seats.
Immediately after the verdict
was announced, Rev. Ogden in
sisted that the two other players
be tried and late in the afternoon
the trial was had. An ovation
was given the boys when the
jury's verdict was announced, and
the court had difficulty in main
tanning order. g.. 49, =
