Joel G. Winjer, federal creamery
expert, has been appointed to the
district composed Of North Dakota,
northern Minnesota and eastern Mon
tana, and will commence his work
here In July. word to that effect hav-
ing been received by Commissioner
Gilbreath Of the department Of agri.
culture and labor.
Mr.. Winjer is practical dairyman
and buttermaker and has been assign
ed for the past couple Of years in
Oklahoma and Kansas, where he has
proved the value of his work to the
department.. His headquarters will
be established In Crookston, Minn.,
but it is expected that his work will
be largely in North Dakota where
the dairy business is in its infancy
and where his work will be of the
most benefit to the largest number
of people.
Mr.. Winjer's work will consist of
investigating the dairy business and
lending what assistance is desired by
the buttermakers and dairymen of
the district. The work of the de-
partment will be greatly aided by
the advent of the new officers and
great things are expected in the
dairying line in North Dakota in the

So on Saturday, the death of Frank t.
Brown, which occurred at his home in
Perkins avenue shortly before mid
night, was shock to his wide circle
of acquaintance not only IN Norwich
but tt roughout the state. Saturday af-
ternoon his condition did not denote
any improvement and there were grave
fears for his recovery, although it was
sincely hoped that he would be able to
pass the crisis. BY his death in his
h6tk year Norwich loses without ques-
ton its leading attorney, whose inf1u-
ence extended throughout New Eng
land, and he was recognized as one of
the ablest lawyers hereabouts.
Frank Thurston Brown was born in
Norwich Feb. 27. 1853, the son of
Francis and Harriet Thurston Brown
of East Great Plain. He gained his
early education in the public schools
and at the age of II entered the Free
Academy. He graduated from there in
1868 at the head of his class. He en-
tered Yale university at the age Of 16
and graduated in the class of 1872.
From 1872 to 1875 he was instructor in
Latin, Greek and mathematics at the
Free Academy, of which he was an
alumnus, but thereafter took up law,
having studied in the office of George
Pratt. and later pursued the same in
the office of Hovey & Thayer, the lat
ter being Judge John NJ. Thayer of the
supreme court of errors. There he also
came under the influence of the valua-
BILE instructor, Jeremiah Halsey, who
was recognized as one of Norwich's
greatest lawyers. He was admitted to
the bar Dec. %, 1878. and later formed
a partnership with his brother, the late

o. W. Brown. which continued until
the decease of the latter in October,
1885, since which time Mr. Brown had
practiced alone.
In 1888 Mr. Brown was elected to
represent the town Of Norwich in the
legislature and was appointed a mem
Der of the Judiciary committee, on
which he was well fitted, and served
with credit to the town and himself.
Mr.. Brown never sought political Of
fees, preferring that they should come
to him and he was always faithful to
his trust, serving honorably and with
the best of judgment for his constitu-
ents. He was elected corporation
counsel in 1891 by the common coun-
Gil, in which position he has been Of
Invaluable service to the city. He re-
tanned the office until 1898 and again
in 1906 was elected to the position. IN
1908 he was again elected to the Office
and held the position at the time Of
his death. BY his long service in that
position Mr.. Brown was probably as
well versed as anyone upon the city
charter and his advice was always to
be relied upon. careful thought and
justice characterizing his decisions.
Mr.. Brown represented Norwich in
the constitutional convention, where ne
was an important figure in the carry
ing out of the work. He was appointed
q MEMBER OIL the SCdle ponce COulIlIS-
sion upon its creation and has since
been retained as a member and also
served upon other state commissions.
Governor George T. Lilley recog-
nized his ability as a lawyer and re-
tanned him as his counsel in the sub
marine investigation last year, in
which Mr.. Brown gained a national
reputation. He was a strong support
err Of Governor Lilley and always
main tained that Governor Lilleys po-
sition regarding the submarine boat
matter was the right one.

DECISIONS HANDED DOWN
BY JUDGE WHEELER
saIter Appeal Denied and Mrs. Heath
Given Alimony

On Saturday Judge Ralph Wheeler
handed down a decision in TIE case of
Salter's appeal from the county COM
missioners denying Salter's appeal for
reversal of the commissioners de-
cision. In giving his decision Judge
Wheeler says that 1t did not appear in
the course Of the trial that the com
missioners had acted unreasonably or
overstepped the limits Of their powers.
The full memorandum Of decision as
handed down by Judge Wheeler to
Clerk Parsons of the superior court
follows:
1.-THE place is suitable for a license
to a well established hotel. and two
such hotels would not be too many in
the locality. The county commission
ers appear to have found and held the
applicant unsuitable to receive a Ii
cense.
'The court, upon, appeal, can and
ought to set aside the acts Of the com
missioners for any unlawful conduct in
the exercise of their powers, but not
otherwise. 1t does not appear upon the
trial that the commissioners acted I'M
justly or arbitrarily or unreasonably,
or that their action was beyond the
limits of their powers.
Upon the whole evidence before the
court it is found that the applicant is
an unsuitable person to be licensed.
Judgment is rendered dismissing the
appeal, with costs to be taxed in favor
of the defendant"
The Heath non-support case, one Of
the most interesting actions of the
term of the recent civil superior court
session. has been decided by Judge
Wheeler, who on Saturday filed a de-
cision with Clerk Parsons In favor of

,MURPHYs eREAT BATTING.
Philadelphia Fans Hand Him Hot
Praise for Work in Opening Game.

Dan Murphys terrific clouting of the
ball in the first two games played by
the Athletic has walked up the Phila-
delphia fans to the value Of such a
batter to a team. A Philadelphia pa
per delivered the following after the
first game, in which Dan registered
four hits out of five times up:
Danny Murphy has been one CT the
nlainstays Of the Athletics ever since
he Joined Connie Mack's team seven
years ago. He is one Of the best ball
players the game has ever produced.
When Murphy Is not In the lineup the
Athletics are greatly weakened. Men
like Murphy, Collins and Baker, for
instance, are a tower of strength to
any team who cannot well be spared
in even a single game during a sea-
son.
The small scores made by the Attn
letics in the exhibition games down
south this spring were largely due to
Murphy's enforced absence from tho
team. Murphy was likewise missed by
his team in the recent local spring Sc
ries, as were Collins and Baker.
Murphy showed how valuable he is
to his team by the way he played and
braced up the Athletics I'm the OPEN
ing championship game. Although de-
prived Of the benefit OF batting prac-
tice. he only having a few days OF II
IN the south on account OF in1urlng MS
ankle on the fourth day after the Ath-
letics' arrival at New Orleans, Murphy
demonstrated i'm the opening game, as
he had so often done before. that he
IS born hitter by the way he clouted
the ball.
Murphy Hammered the Ball.
In his five trips to the plate Murphy
secured two singles and two doubles.
Whether Danny would have made a
clean score of five hits If he had not
been unfortunate in his fourth jour
new to the plate will never be known.
In trying to back away from an In
curve Murphy didn't draw his bat back
for enough. As a result the ball hit
the bat, bounded 10 the indeld and
Danny was aut at first. He wasn't
reay to hit and didn't try TO. so that he
did not have a chance to show what he
could have done this time IL he could
have had a crack at the ball.
out Murphy had a great day never
theless. as in addition to his four hits
Danny drove in four Of the Athletics
eight runs and scored one himself.
