Probst, of Wells county, North Dako

this city. ever, comes to trial, test
fnony Of the most sensational KIND Wall
probably be introduced.
The petition says that in the sprlnis
of 1908 Mrs. Probst, who was a former
well known resident of this city anu
I4iscomb, decided to her brother, j. q.
windish, 800 acres Of land in Wells
county, North Dakota. Prior to that
time Mrs. Probst, so the petition says,
had delivered deed to the same
property to Hauser This deed was CIV
en- under representation made by Haul
ser to Mrs. Probst that he was her son.
This the petition alleges is not a FACT
The petition seeks to have the deea
given to Hauser returned to Mrs.
Probst. so that 1T may not be a cloud
on the title to the land. The deed, the
petition says, has never been filed, but
is still in the possession Of Hauser.
on the showing made in the petition
a temporary injunction was issued
against Hauser restraining him from
recording the deed or parting with It,
Mr.. Hauser, when seen. refused to
talk for publication, but intimated That
If the case ever came to trial. there
would probably be aired some highly

At the Biiou.

The bill at the Bijou the past week
was one of exceptional merit and the
pretty little theater is attracting good
attendance. Miss Margaret Gracie's
singing was especially good and her
act was entertaining all the way thru.
Tot Oracle is her sister and is just be-
ginning her stage career. She has a
pleasing voice is pretty and winsome
and will no doubt be a popular fav-
orite. Moe and Haskins do musical
novelty act that is not only funny, but
shows remarkable musical talent.
Charles Worten's silly kid monologue
is good and his dancing clever. in addi-
ton to the vaudeville the program con-
tains three moving picture subjects of
unusual merit. BY a clever device Mr..
Armstrong has succeeded in producing
pictures in which the rapid motion of
films is not apparent on the screen and
the strain on the eye therefore relieved.
The performances last irom an hour
and half and upwards and there is
something doing all the time. The new
bill for the first half of this week gave
good satisfaction last night, the Robert
Blaylock and company act being espec-
tally interesting.
