conditions of which | know

the best thing that can be done
under the circumstance.
Again | will ask and recon-
mend that the Justices of the
Peace in the various townships
cooperate with me in an effort
to more nearly perfect the sys-
TEN now in use, in order that
we may arrive at the desired
nd, viz: Good Roads. And to
further this work and to carry
out this plan. I will at any time
be glad to furnish any of you
a copy of your Overseers Report
and Bill for your inspection in
order that you may keepin touch
with the expenditures Of your
townships in carrying on the
road work.
am pleased to report that
with few exceptions the bridges
of our County are IN good shape.
| insist on the Road OVerseers of
the different townships watch
after the bridges of their respec-
tive townships and to report to
me any repairs that are neces-
sary to be made and | will see
about the matter at once. And
| am glad to report that the
bridge across the Missouri River
has been completed and it is a
credit to any county to have
such a bridge. And in connec-
ton will state that | have tried
one Concrete Bridge and | am of
the opinion that it is going to
prove grand success. | am OF
the opinion that it is economy to
build Iron bridges across the
larger streams of our County as
they are to be replaced when the
present wooden structures shall
give away.
We have five paupers on the
County Farm, at cost of $1,000
per month for each one and | can
truthfully say that they are we'll
cared for; and | feel that we are
fortunate in being able to keep
Uncle Pet Frazier and his wife
as keepers of the same. The
houses of the farm are in fairly
good condition. and there has
been some repairs on the fencing
and little work on the main
building.
AS to Public Buildings:
Our County Jail is not holding
up as we'll as we might wish and
expect as to the building. but is
we'll kept and in sanitary con-
ditiOn.
1t is a very evident fact that
our Court House is in very di
lapidated condition and | fear it
is not safe at all times for the
County Officers who are required
to office here. We levied a IL
mill tax last year for building
Court House and at that rate it
paid $150O.00 and | am of the
opinion that the levy should be
raised another year. All OF the
Grand Juries for the past sever
al Courts have condemned the
building as unsafe and have rec
commended the building of a new
one at once. Hon. J. M. Carter,
Circuit Judge, urgently recon-
mended at the last Court that a
new Court House be built at
once as he did not feel safe in
holding Court in this Building.
The Records of the County
have been we'll and accurately
kept and are in good condition.

BRYANT'S FATHER
KILLED A MAN
Man Who Figured in Awful
Tragedy at Devils Lake
Followed Family Trait

Devils Lake, N. D., March 1s.-The
terrible tragedy Monday whereby E.
s. Bryant killed O. j. Hooper. agent
Of the Great Northern, reveals an
other tragedy in which a member of
the Bryant family was connected sew
eral years ago. The father Of Bryant
lived at Cooperstown and after a
quarrel with a fellow man pulled a
gun and shot him dead. He then
turned the gun on himself and in
flicted a wound that caused his death
q few minutes afterward.
The shooting here Monday was very
similar in manner and nature and it Is
evident that shooting was trait in
the Bryant family and the nature OF
the act Monday is convincing that the
son bore in mind the manner in which
his father Stayed his antagonist and
when the thought of murder came up
on him he resolved upon the same
plan. It Is indeed a sad tragedy and
closes the life of two promising young
men who might have had bright fu-
ture in their chosen vocation.

HAPPY MEETING.

Dickinson, N. D., March 13.-Yes-
terday morning witnessed a happy
meeting between l.. Lenhardt and his
9-year-old-son. Martin. who arrived
on No. from Hungary coming all
the way alone from New York ia
Dickinson and being of bright dis
position he readily made friends and
received careful attention from all
conductors and railroad officials, not
withstanding the fact that he could
not speak the English language.
Martin has not seen his father for
four years. and, as the train arrived at
1880 a. M. and the father was not ex-
pecting his son until the afternoon
train. the boy was compelled to re-
main in the waiting room Of the de-
pot until daylight. He had never been
in Dickinson and did not know where
to look for the parental home, Mr..
Lenhardt, who resides in South Dick
inson, came over early in the morn
ing, and the young man spied him as
he was crossing the track and gave
his father the greatest surprise Of
his life

TWO JAIL BREAKERS.

WilHston, N. D., March 1.-two of
the younger men who were in the
county Jail for petty charges made a
break for liberty and made their get
away while under the charge Of depu-
ty Sheriff Mckay. Mckay had the
two young fellows carrying out Stops
from the basement and did not take
the precaution to have with him a
revolver. The men as soon az out
side made a break and run down the
alley at clip that was nothing but
speedy. Mckay did not take after
either one. but turned about and went
into the court house to get assistance.
Sheriff Olson was at the time in the
eastern part of the state but when
putting Mckay on the force instruct
ed him to always have a gun with
him when on duty. This time he had
failed to have his protector with him
and was up against it. Sheriff Olson
Is very much displeased with the out
come of the little affair, of which he
is in no wise at fault. He is keeping
very close watch and will probably
have the fellows again.

COST 500 FOR 4 LOOK.

Fargo, March 13.-How would you
like to have man thrust into your
hands a check for $500, tell you if
you can get 1t cashed for him you will
get IS, and while you are scanning
it, be touched for all the cash you
are carrying, except that in your hat
band or shoes? Most persons Just
naturally wouldn't like it. Neither
did a young man who detrained from
the flyer this morning.
Last evening the young man was
about to board the flyer when he was
approached by another young man,
described as tall, we'll dressed and
plausible looking.
I'll give you SIS if you can get this
cashed for me-" said the stranger,
handing over check
I'll look It over" said the victim.
When he got through looking it
over he turned around to find that the
other had disappeared and with him
pocketbook containing 500 The
young man boarded his train and on
arriving here put the check in the
hands of the police, that they might
ascertain whether or not 1t was gen.
uine, and. in case it was. take steps
to return 1t to the rightful owner.
The check is drawn on the Homer
bank of Canada for $500 in favor of
one w. L. Dickson, by James E. Daw-
son, cashier of the State National
Bank Of Illinois. 1t is dated Winni-
peg, January I. Chief Grant believes
that the check Is not "phony," but
was stolen from someone by the man
who made the touch in the st. Paul
yards. 1t is the chiefs intention to
place the check in the hands of w. C.
Macfadden. cashier Of the CONNER
| cial bank.

courts of the grand duchy, or by leg
islative enactment; and his failure to
do this has naturally given rise to a
very strong feeling against him. In
fact, there are many, not only in o.
drenburg, but also beyond Its Dor
ders, who do not hesitate to declare
that the grand duke is an infinitely
more fit subject for an asylum for the
insane that the grand duchess. 1t is
recalled, indeed, that on several oc-
casions he has voluntarily retired for
weeks togther into sanitarium near
Dresden, in order to recover from the
strain on his nerves brought on by
what he pleaded was "overwork."
AS the cause of the grand duchess
has since the outset of her quarrel
with her husband been espoused not
only by the people of Oldenburg, but
also by the grand ducal family of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to which she
belongs by birth; by her brother and
sister-in-law, Prince Henry and the
queen of the Netherlands; by her
half-brother, the regent of Bruns-
wick, and by her half-sister. the
Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia,
the matter is not likely to be allowed
to rest where 1t is.
The grand duke is not unknown in
this country, which he visited some
years ago, without any warning to
people on either side of the Atlantic.
He suddenly vanished from Europe,
and when his family and ministers

FARGO TERM SHORT.

Fargo. N. D., March 13.-There is q
strong probability that nearly all Of
the cases on the calendar of the SUI
preme court term scheduled to begin
in this city Tuesday, March %, will
be continued over to the April term,
scheduled for Bismarck. Notice to
this effect has been received here in
formally from Clerk of Court Hos
kins. the reason for this action being
that since the new law taking the SUI
preme court of Of wheels goes into
effect in July there is no necessity
this spring for a protracted term in
Fargo. Attorneys representing liti-
giants in the actions on the calendar
of the Fargo term have agreed to the
continuance.
Among the few cases which will
be tried here. it is said, will be that
involving the constitutionality of the
law providing for spoilers in liquor
cases, and the Hanson case, involving
the validity Of judgments against real
estate for personal property taxes af-
ter the 10-year judgment limit ex-
pires. These are Grand Forks county
cases,

Heights.

People who have visited Maple Lake
are returning with the most optimistic
reports. Mr.. Ericsson of Crookston
brings back the report that at least
five new cottages will be erected the
coming summer and it would not be
at all surprising If at least ten were
constructed. Harry Randall of Grand
Forks. has alredy contracted for the
building Of summer home at Wash
ington Heights. Ed. Gilbertson a we'll
known lake resident, will build log
cabin cottage and H. L. Melgaard, the
Argyle banker, will erect boat house
for his new launch. Mr.. BUM, of the
Popular hotel, is engaged in constructs
ing an ice house and Mr.. Smith,
proprietor Of the other hotel, has Just
purchased 36-foot cabin launch,
which can be depended upon to add
much to the enjoyment Of the sum-
mer. Most of the usual lake dwellers
are becoming much interested in mat
tiers regarding the lake and are be-
ginning to become impatient.

GRAND DUKE SENDS
SPOUSE TO ASYLUM.

Confinement in asylums for the in
sane is a measure so often resorted
to by the reigning houses of Europe
for the purpose Of disciplining men,
bers thereof who have refused to obey
orders, who have defied the authority
Of the sovereign, or who have render
ed themselves guilty of indiscretions,
that whenever one hears of a royal
parsonage being thus placed under re-
straint food Is always given to COS
sip.
This has been particularly the case
in connection with the commitment,
the other day, of the reigning grand
duchess OF Oldenburg to a sanitarium
in the neighborhood of Constance, for
the grand duchess and her husband
have for eighteen months past been
engaged in bitter quarrel, which
has set half the courts of Europe by
the ears, and has also brought about
several cabinet crises in Oldenburg,
where the ministers and legislature
sided with the grand duchess against
the grand duke.
The grand duchess, a sister of
Prince Henry of the Netherlands, is
about a score of years the junior of
her gifted but extremely eccentric
husband, and is his second wife. 1t
was not love match on her side
when he led her to the altar twelve
years ago, but he was at that time
infatuated with her, and when in the

following year she gave birth to a
son and heir. the now 11-year-old
Grand Duke Nicholas, he, full Of en-
thusiasm, secured from his ministers
and from his parliament a legislative
enactment investing her with the
regency Of the grand duchy in the
event OF his death during the minority
OF the heir apparent, or during his
own incapacity, through illness, to
administer the government.
Legislators Uphold Her.
Two years ago differences arose be.
tween the grand duke and the grand
duchess, which, becoming more and
more acute, developed into downright
animosity and into virtual sepera-
ton. The grand duke in consequence
thereof took 1t upon himself to init
mate that inasmuch as the grand
duchess had ceased to enjoy his con-
fidence, and was no longer in SYM
pahty with his views and wishes, he
must insist on a radical alteration of
the terms of the act of regency, so as
to deprive her Of any right thereto;
demanding the substitution in her
stead of Duke Frederick Ferdinand Of
Schleswig-Hols The ministers
and legislature, however. would not
hear of the change, and In conse.
quence thereof the grand duke for
nearly year past has been at war
not only with his wife, but also with
his ministers, with parliament, and
with popular opinion in the grand
duchy.
Now. however, the grand duke has
committed his wife to an asylum for
the insane, not within the borders of
the grand duchy, where the Olden-
burg ministers and parliament could
enforce her liberation, sut near Con-
stance, that is to say, in the southern
portion of Baden. Her commitment
has been effected not by means of any
legislative enactment. judicial deci-
sion, or even decree on the part OF
the Oldenburg government. but
through a family council. The lat
ter is presided over by the chief Of
the family and sovereign, that is to
say, the grand duke himself, and is
composed of such members of the
reigning house Of Oldenburg as he
chooses to take part therein.
The family council ia, in fact, not
strictly speaking necessary. For in
most of the monarchical countries of
continental Europe the authority of
the sovereign over the members of his
family is absolute and entirely ire
spective OF the courts. He can in
woke at any time the so-called family
statutes, which are in most instances
secret. az far as the general public
is concerned. and have never received
legislative sanction. When he wishes
to avoid appearing too tyrannical in
these matters, he causes his acts to
be Endorsed by family council But
as the latter is composed only of
those members Of his house whom he
chooses to invite-members depend
ent upon him for their incomes and
entirely submissive to his will-they
cannot be expected to manifest much
independence or to gainsay his wish

MRS.: C0WAN IS REFUSED
Judge Templeton Will Not Reverse
Decision in Divorce Action Given
Eleven Years AGO.

Judge Templeton yesterday decided
that 1t was impossible for Bridget E.
Cowan to have divorce decree,
which was rendered March IL, 1898,
set aside to Michael Cowan. The re-
verse was asked by Mrs. Cowan on
the ground that Michael Cowan, in
his testimony In the case eleven years
ago, stated that he did not know her
whereabouts when he did. Cowan
was injured in railroad accident
about a year ago and as a claim is
pending against the Northern Pacific
in the courts, Mrs. Cowan made an
extraordinary effort to have the d.
vorce decree set aside. Murphy &
Duggan were attorneys for Mrs.
Cowan, while George A. Bangs and

pOsite side.

UNLAWFUL CONTEMPLATION.

Mohall, n. D.. March 13.-Mike
Parsley, residing on a farm north of
here. was arrested recently on a war
rant sworn out by his neighbor, John
Spencer. charging Parsley with un-
lawful cohabitation. The defendant
was brought into town Friday night
and taken before Justice Gunderson
for hearing, Assistant States Attor-
ney Ryerson of Minot being present
for the state. but Parsley did not
make an effort to clear himself of the
charge made and had no counsel to
offer his case. The justice forthwith
bound him over to the county court,
placing him under bonds in the
amount of $1,000. which were not fur
nished. Parsley was taken to Minot
the following morning in charge of
Deputy Throngard and placed in the
county bastile to await his trial.
