1t is claimed that during the sum-
mer, hired man who could read
the Bohemian may have read the
letters to her, which gave her know
ledge of the true state of affairs.
Still there are claims and counter
claims, so that the whole thing is
clothed in mystery until trial
clears up the affair, or should they
desire to end the matter by getting
married; if they are not already leg
ally united as man and wife.
Last Friday evening preliminary
trial was given to Parsley by Asst.
States Attorney Geo. L. Ryerson be-
fore Judge Gunderson, who bound
him over to the county court. He was
unable to furnish bonds, so Chief
Throngard took him to-. Minot Satur-
day morning where he will remain
until the county court meets. At
that time all evidence will be heard
and the whole affair, it is hoped will
be cleared up and settled satisfactor-
| lily to all concerned.
Last Thursday afternoon Chief of
Police Throngard went to the Mike
Parsley farm near Mohall, and took
Mr.. Parsley into custody It seems
that Parsley has been having some
trouble lately. He gave his wife or
ders to vamoose to make room for
another, whom he claims to be his
lawful wife. Mr.. Parsley also claims
that he never. married the woman he
has been living with for the past
six or seven years. While she
claims that they were married but
under another name, which she can
not remember. Upon receiving such
orders, however, she left and stayed
for some days at the home of a
neighbor. When the authorities took
charge, she was taken back to her.

Ben Whitehead of Williston.- They
have become so vigilant since Sam
Clark became mayor Of Ward county
that they will arrest man for just
stealing pig in Ward county. Once
there used to be a real hardship to
find man who confessed to having
any propriety interest in pig
around Minot. But things will
change. That shows what Colcord
has been able to do.

How a dispute over a few dollars
may turn into very serious matter
is shown by the case of Kippen &
Thompson VS. the Glenburn State
attorneys for both sides has been
submitted to Judge Goss as a court
case. The trouble arose over the sale
Of some seed by two elevator men.
The elevator men turned the notes
over to the Glenburn State bank,
which discounted them. Later the
elevator men went to the bank and
told the officers that they would look
after the collection Of the notes.
which the bank delivered to them.
The bank did not hear anything more
about the matter until claim was
made against them for keeping the
stock which had been seized by Dep
uty Sheriff Kippen on mortgage
foreclosure, pursuant to the orders
Of Attorney r. O. Lunke on behalf
Of the elevator men. In the mean
time the mortgage, one Blair. had
rendered the amount Of the mortgage
to the bank, stating that provision
had been made to pay the attorneys
fees and the banks fees for collec-
ton. Lunke instituted a foreclosure
OF some chattels, a COW and horse,
to secure his attorneys fees. The
animals were seized and kept by the
deputy sheriff for about four years,
and the bill for keeping the stock
ran up to $500. The horse died
and the mortgage puts in a counter
claim for the value of the horse.
The trouble all arose over a misun'.
derstanding, and what was only .
difference Of few dollars attorney's
fees now reaches about $500.
