MRS. ITRICH HAS
CRIMINAL RECORD
INNATE OF STATE INSANE AsY.
LuM, WHO SEEKS FREEDOM,
SERVED TIME IN PEN. s.

Bismarck, Sept 1S.-There was an
interesting case in the supreme court
yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Irftch
of New Salem, over in Morton county,
who had secured a writ of habeas corr
pus from the higher court, appeared
with her attorney, VIII. Stutsman OF
Mandan in an attempt to secure her
freedom from the asylum at James,
town. Mrs. Iritch appeared before
the court with her attorney, and
stated her case to the court. It APP
peared that she had served a term in
the penitentiary, having been convicted
OF performing abortion. Soon after
wards she was examined as to her
sanity and committed to the asylum.
This she claims, was done by neigh
bors and relatives who were using
that method Of getting her out of the
way. Her story is an interesting one
and the case will be argued before
the court, and whether or not she
can establish that she has been vic
timized will depend upon her secur-
ing her release from the asylum.

Everything is moving along in fine

three years now stored UP in the three
reservoirs that are completed, and
even If 1t does not rain at all during
that time we are well provided for
water. We have a new line of steam
ers from here south to Salina Cruz,
also Jim Hill has put on a new line to
San Francisco to run in connection
with his line from there TO Seattle.
We now have two a week to San
Francisco and one from here to Seat

that he was getting along so well.
Last Sunday we heard him for the

DRUG PERMITS
AGAIN in PERIL
QUESTION OF AUTHORITY OF
DISTRICT JUDGES TO ISSUE
PERMITS RAISED AT
LANGDoN HEARING.

Grand Forks, NJ d., Sept. 1s.-The
question of the authority Of judges
of the district court to grant druggist
permits was raised at Langdon yes
terday when Judge Kneeshaw. who ar
rived in Grand Forks from that city
last night, heard the application of
about ten Cavalier county druggists
for permits. Attorney Cleary, sup
posedly representing the temperance
interests, raised the question and IL
resulted in Judge Kneeshaw with
holding his decision in regards to the
granting OF the permits till after the
proposition is disposed of at Graf
ton, which will be very shortly.
Enfrings on Constitution.
The point raised at Langdon is that
under the constitution Of the state
of North Dakota a district court judge
cannot be appointed to any but jul
Clicial position. Under a decision OF
the supreme court Of Kansas, by Judge
Brewer, It is held that county judges
may exercise the power OF granting
permits but i'm the remarks filed with
the decision, IT g. stated that should
the matter have referred to district
court Judge, the ruling would have
been different. The Kansas and
North Dakota constitutions, so far as
the powers OF judges are concerned,
are much the same.
II Is not thought that Judge Knee
shaw will hold against the Cavalier
county druggists, but that he will
grant the permits as requested. He
stated to The Times today. however,
that II such action were taken the
permit holders would be obliged to
live up to the very letter Of the law
and any infringement would result
