Worst Case of Insanity Grand Forks
County Officials Ever Dealt With.

Grand Forks, ". D., Sept i5.--AbeI
HUT, who 1t was thought without
question was to have been committed
to the insane asylum Monday, was
finally discharged at the. meeting of
the insanity board held at o'clock
Monday afternoon HUT was all but
packed off to the state asylum at
Jamestown as a result of what was
thought to be severe case of insanity
which baffled the people at Kellys
where the man was taken in charge.
HUT also appeared to be very much
out of his head with his talking and
singing at random at the county jail
Monday morning, but after he found
himself before the insanity board, he
began to realize what a fool he had
been making Of himself. and he sober
ed up on short notice. coming to his
senses enough to show the board that
he was not insane but was under the
influence of liquor and was seeing
things. He was accordingly dis
charged and sent on his way.

DEVILS LAKE JAIL
CASE UNDECIDED
JUDGE kNEEsHAW WlTHHoLDs
DECISION nv RAMSEY couN-

FILED.

Devils Lake, NJ D., Sept. 15.--All OF
the officials and witnesses VINO went
up to Grand Forks yesterday to try
the appeal against the county COM
missioners before Judge Kneeshaw re-
turned last night. but no decision was
reached in the course OF the trial.
States Attorney Duell opened the
case for the plaintiffs, by putting Edi-
Opinion, one of the signers of the
petition to appeal on the stand Edi-
tor Anderson was examined as to his
knowledge of the unlawfulness and
irregularities OF the commissioners
actions, which had been alleged in the
petition, and proved to have nothing
more than a ilearsay understanding of
the matter.
In rebuttal, County Auditor Bice
was put on the stand to certify to the
record of the proceedings, as was
Chairman ole Nesseth Treasurer
Furstenau was next called, and exam
ined as to the state OF the county's
finances. Here the sticking point was
reached. AS Judge Kneeshaw defined
the law, the action Of the commissions
ers is legal If they have an anticipated
source Of revenue which will not only
provide for the current and estimated
expenses of running the county next
year but also provide for the cost of
constructing the new JAIL No time
could be allowed for argument to be
made, as the judge wished to take
train. Attorney McClory received
permission from the Judge to file a
brief on the subject, and Judge Knee
snaw will withhold his decision until
that is provided. which may mean that
the case will drag on week or 50
longer.

RIVER SWALLOWS
ROLL OF $4,000
INNING RANT EN- ROUTE TO GRAND
FORKS is VICTIM OF FATES
ON OCEAN LINER.

New York Sept. 15-olaf Nielsen,
.of Sweden landed in this country today
and couple of hours later he was
minus a draft for s2,700, $3.50 cash and
three railroad tickets for Grand Forks,
m, d.
Nielsen was on board the steamer
General Putnam on his way from Ellis
Island to the West Shore railroad
depot at Weehawken. He was gazing
at New York as the steamer passed
up the river and became so interested
in the sight that he leaned up against
the rail on the upper deck
The wallet containing Nielsen's mon
ey and railroad tickets was in his
pocket. AS he leaned against the rail
his wallet was jerked from his coat
pocket and landed in the river. An
urgent and fearful appeal to the cap
tain on the steamer to back UP SO that
the wallet that was seen bobbing along
the surface of the water could be re-
covered was without avail.
The vessel kept on its way and the
wallet was lost beyond recall.

PROHIBITION Law
DOES NOT PROHIBIT
FATAL WEAKNESS or tn LIQUOR
EXCLUSION ACT OF N. d.
SHIPMENTS NOT PRE-
VENTED.

Bismarck, NJ D., Sept 15.--An APP
parently fatal weakness of the North
Dakota state prohibition law is openly
admitted by Atty. Gen. Andrew Miller
in a letter written to an inquirer of
McClusky, n. D., in which the attor-
ney general saws the statute fails to
prohibit shipments Of intoxicants in
unlimited quantities. The Letter of
the attorney general is brief and to the
point and says:
Replying to your recent favor in
which you ask my opinion on the fol-
lowing questions. namely:
is there any provision of law in
this state prohibiting the shipment Of
Intoxicating liquors into this state to
private parties for their own con-
sumption?
" is there any limit fixed b. law as
to the amount that may be received by
private parties; If SO, what is the
limit?'
ITO both of these questions, am
syer, NO.
yours very truly. Andrew Miller,
Attorney general"
Authorities PowerIess.
According to this holding, the state
authorities are poWerless to prevent
the shipment Of liquor to private par
ties in North Dakota even in carload
lots unless 1t can be positively proved
that such liquor is for other than pri-
vate consumption--a very difficult
matter
This letter of the attorney generals
the first official acknowledgement OF
the shortcomings OF the prohibition
law In this particular, and accounts
for the unassailed open shipment of
liquor daily made on trains through
out the state, These shipments have
been excessively heavy OF late on &C.
count Of the large number Of Well paid
harvest hands in every county: men
who are easy spenders and who to a
considerable degree are .leavy alb
sorbers OF alcoholic beverages, The
beers especially are being received in
large quantities, now shipped in open.

THE N. {. CONFERENCE
Committees Appointed ut Mandan "a
Prepare For Entertainment Of
the Delegates.

| Mandan News: Plans and arrange
ments are being made for the enter
tainment of the Methodist Episcopal
conference which will be held in this
lefty beginning Oct. 13 and continuing
Euntil Oct. Is inclusive. A church com
Emittee Of ways and means assisted by
a delegation from the Business Mems
club are furthering all preparations
and getting ready to entertain the Wis
itors in first -clasS style.
At the regular business meeting of
the members of the official board of
the local church the following com i
mittee was appointed on ways and
means OF entertaining the conference
during it's session: ID. H. FiFkins, DR..
G.. A. Stark, L. p. Wood, r. M Brown
and @. r. Coils. The representa-
.tives of the Business Mems club are
10. A. Heegaard and Albert Lanter-
man. Both bodies constitute the or
ganization who will care for the prac-
teal and public entertainment of the
conference. Being much encouraged
by the favorable resolution adopted
by the club and the general assistance
the work is gone DIT with the right
spirit and sure and certain success will
only follow such endeavor. The resolu-
ton adopted by the Business Mems
club is as follows:
THAT the president appoint two
members as a committee to meet the
committee appointed by the local
pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal
church for the purpose of devising
ways and means to entertain the Wis.,
itors at the coming convention OF the
Methodist church of North Dakota to
be held in Mandan Oct. 1918 and 1t
was also the consensus of opinion OF
the members OF the club that they in
dividually and collectively, assist in
the entertainment OF the visitors, and
the automobiles that are owned by the
members be- placed at the disposal of
the entertainment committee, and any
other arrangement that might be de-
vised for the comfort and enjoyment of
the visitors have the hearty sympathy
and influence of the organization"
The action taken by the club is
highly commendable and expresses the
opinion Of the city's appreciation Of
having an opportunity Of entertaining
such a body, and being the chosen
place to hold such meeting. The pas
tor, who is much responsible for the
enthusiasm which has developed to
date with regard to making the confer
ence a success, together with the mem
bers of the church, are highly pleased
with the manner in which the people
of Mandan are rallying to the support
and carrying out OF the undertaking.
During the past week a prospectus
OF the event has been issued and dis
tributed generously in the city and
at Bismarck. Data with regard to
speakers is being received and many
matters in connection with prepara-
tions are being attended to. Bishop
Robt Mcintyre. who will preside
over the conference will give his great
lecture, The Evolution of Abraham
Lincoln, on Monday evening, Oct Is.
He will also preach at the operahouse
on Sunday morning, Oct, II.
