COMPLICATED CASE
DATES BACK 9 YRS.
CONTEST ARGUED BEFORE THE
LOCAL U. s. LAND OFFICIALS
HAS A GREAT HIsToRY-TRANs-
FERRED TO FARGO FROM THE
BISMARCK DISTRICT.

For complication the contest in which
Edward Wolf. Adolph T. Haser and
Fred Fischer were originally interested
and which dates back nine years, was
argued before Register c. C. Schuyler
and Receiver j. J.. Jordan of the local
u. S. landoff1ce yesterday. There has
been a rapid succession of moves on
the part of principals during the pc
riod involved.
The record shows that Jan. II, 1900,
Fred Fischer filed a reservoir declara-
tory statement for the seA of section
32-142-67 al the Bismarck landofice
On Aug. T. 1904, John Troutman, jr.
made homestead entry on the swA of
section 32-142-6 On Jan. IA 1905,
Troutman contested Fischers right.
On Jan. 25, 1905, Edward Wolf made
/ homestead entry on e1a of seA of swA
of swA of sen of swA Of section 81
14267. In November, 1905, Troutman
filed a REIMBURSEMENT and then a hear
ing was ordered to determine the rights
of the parties. The case was then in
the Bismarck Office. It appears that
Troutman was not notified of this
hearing. The register and receiver at
Bismarck held that Fischer had failed
10 comply with the law and his declara-
tion was held for cancellation.
On Nov. 81, 1906, the case was re-
manded for hearing on account of the
fact that Troutman had not received
notice at the former hearing. On May
6, 1908, an order was made for a hear
ing at the Fargo Office to determine
the rights Of the parties, with the ex-
ception of Fischer. On July 16 of the
same year G. M. Cannon for Trout
man and F. L. Conklin for Wolf and
Haser appeared by stipulation by Gan
non was held to be made without au-
thority, invalidating the proceeding
Yesterday Attorney Cannon appear
ed for Troutman and Atty. John Knauf
for Wolf. 1t appears that Wolf has
| lived on the land for the past three
or four years with his wife and child,
has good buildings and other improve
ments.
! The attorneys are allowed twenty
days to file briefs, when the. decision
Of the land officials will be rendered.

position, which consists of the most
magnificent scenery and the longest

American city, is always ready.
Railroad experts the country over
declare that the success of the A. Y. p.
is already assured, but for this fact
they do not give the whole credit to
either the management or the publ
city campaign. On the contrary, they
declare that the imminent influx into
the Northwest ia due more largely to
Northwestern resources and home pos
sibilities and to Northwestern and
Alaskan scenery and romance, more
than to any other power of attraction.

EARTHQUAKE
CLAUSE VOID
Insurance Companies Must Pay San
Francisco Losses.
Test Case Is Won by lrsnei on APP
peal - Insurance Policies Cover
Fires Due to Dynamiting-PoIicy
Holders Can Also Collect Interest
for Three Years.

San Francisco, May 11.-Ap import
ant decision relative to the earthquake
clause of fire insurance policies was
handed down today by the United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals. 1t directly
affects several hundred pending suits
against insurance companies for losses
sustained in the great fire of April,
1906, and may result in the insured OBJ
tanning the principal of their policies
with interest for three years.
The case decided today was that of
the Richmond Coal company against the
Commercial Union Assurance company
of London, in which it was sought to
recover about $40, 600 insurance on coal
in the bunkers at Spear and Howard
streets, which caught fire several hours
after the earthquake of April Is, 1906,
and was destroyed after smoulderine
for a month. The Circuit Court Of
Appeals reverses the judgment of the
lower court, which was in favor of the
insurance company.
The higher court decides that the
earthquake was not the proximate
cause of fire which occurred after thu
earthquake shock, practically holding
that an earthquake cannot cause a fire
directly and that for an earthquake tt
be the indirect cause of fire the blaz'
must follow Immediately upon the
quake.
The Appellate court also decided an
other very important point, which il
that fire following upon an explosion
such as one caused by dynamitng, il
covered by the terms of the insurance
nolicv
