Suffragette To Speak.
The woman's suffrage question has
worried into the campaign. although

PREME COURT.

Towner, N. d., oct 2s.-The decision
as to constitutionality of the new drug
gists permit law is now before the
supreme court from this county.
Tuesday Butler Lamb, attorney for
@. r. Kermott, a Towner druggist,
filed an application with County Judge
Bagley asking for a druggists permit
under the old law, Judge Bagley re-
fused to grant the permit on the
ground that he had no authority. as
the old law had been repealed.
Attorney Lamb is now at Bismarck
and has filed petition with the SUI
preme court asking the court to issue
a writ of mandamus compelling Judge
Bagley to grant license under the old
law.
This will bring the controversy to
a head In a short time, for IL the SUI
preme court refuses to grant the peti-
ton 1t will virtually mean that the new
law is held to be constitutional. The
result will be awaited with interest

FEAR WALSH MAY
FLEE FROM U. S.
GOVT ATTORNEY WOULD DIS
CONTINUE CONVICTED BANK
ER's BAIL AND PUT HIM
IN CELL.

Chicago, Oct. 26. - United States
District Attorney Sims today filed a
petition In the United States circuit
court of appeals asking that John r.
Walsh, convicted of misappiying the
funds of the Chicago National bank,
be taken into custody and the contin-
uance OF bail be denied.
The ground urged by the federal au-
thority for action which would put
Walsh in prison, regardless of an ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court, is that the government fears
that Walsh will flee from the United
States and take up residence In some
country not covered by extradition
laws.
An answer was filed and the court
took the petition under advisement.
