SAYS STATE Law
is ineffective
INTERESTING POINT RAISED IN
M'GlLLis CASE AT BISMARCK
MAY KNOCK OUT
CASE.

Bismarck, NJ r.. Dec. 1i.-Before
Judge Crawford OF the Tenth judicial
district, who is sitting. for Judge VIM
chester in the. case of the state against
d. j. McGillis, VINO is charged with
knowingly letting building to be
used in violation of the prohibition
law, Atty. Geo. W. Newton for Mo
ellis yesternoona demurred to the In
formation In the case, on the ground
that the statute which the information
was based upon was void because of
Indebtedness and uncertainty.
The demurrer raises an interesting
point with reference to Chapter 1893
OF the laws of 1907, under which the
information in the present case was
filed. This law states that amy own
err agent or other person who direct
ly or indirectly lets any building or
portion of any building knowing that
1t is intended to be used for any pur-.
poses declared punishable by chapter
ITO Of the penal code of the revised
codes of North Dakota of 1885, COM
monty known as the prohibition law.
or who otherwise permits any build
ing or portion of a building to be so
used is guilty OF misdemeanor."
The interesting point with refer
ence to this law is that Chapter ITO
of the penal code of the Revised
Codes OF 1895 does not exist. The
prohibition law, which makes the
general sale of intoxicants Illegal, is
Chapter SO of the code, and thus the.
law which covers the offense named
in the McGillis case refers by num-
Der to a statute which does not exist.
Attorney Newton argued the demur-
rer at some length stating that under
the language used in the bill, it was
in his opinion void and ineffective for
uncertainty and Indebtedness. He cit
ed q number OF authorities in support
of his demurrer. Attorney General
Miller said he believed there was
debatable question:, but he believed the
law could be made to stand up not1
wtthstanding this apparent error Of the
legislature. He said he was familiar
with the fact that the statute referred
to chapter 10 Of the code when the
prohibition law was chapter So, and
he had looked UP the original bill and
found that the same mistake occurred
in that. He said he would like time
to file brief in the matter before a
decision was handed down by the
court. -
Should the court sustain the demur-
rer the case will be knocked out.

SUIT CASE THIEVES NARREp.
Two Men Caught at Forks, Thought to

Two Men Caught at Forks, Thought to
-zG BE Members of Gang. 4Ff.
Grand Forks, N. D.. Dec. 11.-R. w.
Austin and H Berger, arrested and
charged with larceny, were arraigned
before Judge Mclaughlin yesterday,
Austin decided to enter plea of gull
ty to a charge of petit larceny and will
be allowed to do so later. Berger was
bound over TO the district court, bonds
being fixed at $500.
Berger's capture was affected in a
rather sensational manner by C. Fl.
Hall of the Great Northern baggage
department. Berger came into the
baggage room yesterday afternoon and
picked up suit case, starting off with
it. M. Levalle end Hall at once went
after him, Berger starting on the run
The chase lasted about half a mile
Hall finally bringing the fellow into his
charge by threatening to shoot, being
obliged to pull his revolver before Ber-
ger would be halted.
After Berger was arrested a search
of his room was made, and Austin
was arrested there. Another suit case
that had been stolen several days age
was found in the room also.
1t is believed that Berger and Austin
are members Of an organized gang, as
suit case thefts have been very mum
erous The officials are anxious to find
out where the men find market for
the stolen stuff, and are working to that
end.
Berger and Austin have both been
in the employ of the Great Northern,
being hired recently as brakemen
Superintendent Kelsey has become
suspicious of them when he learned
that Berge~ had recently gone under
the name of Goldman, consequently
both were placed at the bottom of the
service, which is equivalent to a dis
charge.

NAVAJO INDIAN
RUNS AMUCK
Slabs Woman, lnfliCting Fatal
Wound, and Injuries
Two Others.

Cincinnati. Feb. 2f.-With an ear-split-
ting war-whoop, an unidentified Navajo
Indian war chief ran amuck in the Union
station here today and before he could be
overhauled he had fatally stabbed and cut
Mrs. Anna Devord of Huntington. w. Va.
and Max Meyers of Cincinnati and seri-
ousiy wounded Joseph w. Gordon OF Cam
bridge Ill
The Indian, with four Sioux war chiefs
from Kansas, had aiighted from q crowd
ed Chesapeake & Ohio train No. 8. As
the passengers aliEhted from the train the
Indian, with q veil, drew a long dagger
and started through the crowd, slashing
right and left. Mrs. Devord was nearest
to the Indian walking up the platform
with a child in her arms. Before she
heard the warning cry raised by passen-
gers, the Indian had buried the dagger in
her back and then slashed her across the
body and arms
Disregarding the iEsensibie form of his
victim, the Indian next attacked Meyers.
When Meyers fell to the station platform
Inc Indian ran toward Gordon. As The In
dams blade penetrated the clothing OF the
victim and entered the flesh, passenger<
and station attaches made a concerted
rush on the mailman.
Male passengers and station employees
hurled themselves on the PROSTATE IN
dian who struggled desperately. The dag
ger was knocked from his hand and he
was taken in charge by the police. On
the train the Indian, who had been I'm
Washington to see the secretary of the
interior, was noticed by passengers to be
brooding and sullen.
