CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION
ANENT POSSIBILITY OF IN

TY CONVENTION WHICH WILL
MEET IN THIS CITY.

The democrats of Clay county will
assemble in Moorhead tomorrow, in
convention to elect ten delegates to the
democratic state convention, to be
held at st. Paul, next Thursday. The
convention will be held at the city
hall and will be called to order by j.
Pierce Wolfe as chairman Of the coun-
ty committee and Leslie Weller will
act rs secretary.
Some Of the leaders of the party
say that while it may be conjectured
that delegation will be sent to ST.
Paul favorable to the candidacy of
John Lind for governor they did not
believe there would be any Instructions
two prominent members of the party
today said they would not accept a.
place on an instructed delegation. but
they would respect the terms of the
resolutions which may be adopted to-
morrow.
What disposition the local delegation
vii show towards the effort to have
the convention express itself on the
matter of county option remains to be
seen. In the light of recent reports
and stories from Washington and what
the Indian bureau is going to do it is
naturally said that Moorhead has been
placed in the attitude Of Il don't care a

democrats are for John Lind and are
willing to trust all to him.

BLEISCH GIRLS
HOME UNPLEASANT
CHRIS KAUFMAN OF 5LUFFToN
ARRIVES IN CITY AND TELLS
WHY LITTLE GIRL CAME TO
FARGO TO MAKE HER HOME
WITH HENRY FUJITA.

Why little Laura Bleisch came to
Fargo was revealed this afternoon
when man from her home town,
Button, Mimi, called at the Florence
Crittenton home to ask for her return
tt her parents. The little girl was talk
en- from the restaurant of Henry Flu
iita, the Jap, by the city authorities
because the girl claimed to have been
held there against her will for i'm
moral purposes, and was bound over
20 the Florence Crittenton home. AS
the child was greatly incapacitated
mentally it was difficult to learn Just
why and how she had come to Fargo.
Her own statement revealed the fact
that Mrs. Kline, residing in Button.
had given her a dollar with which she
had purchased railroad transportation.
Further than this she could remember
nothing except that she had immed-
lately gone to the Jap's restaurant in
search of employment At the time 1t
was believed by many who were in
terested in the case that the child had
been directed to the orientaPs place
winch led to the supposition that a
white slave traffic might flourish in
this section of the country.
This afternoon a man giving the
name of Chris. Kaufman called at the
Crittenton home, stating that he re-
sided in Bluffton and had known the
Bleisch child for many years and also
Mrs. Kline. who had received a letter
from the home officers. He came to
take the child home with him, though
he confessed that her home was not the
most desirable place in the world for
the girl, as the environment was un-
pleasant and that her life was made
intolerable by the harshness of her
father. 1t was the fathers severity
which precipitated a general family
that caused the child to run
to the neighbors to spend a few hours
in quiet. Believing that she would be
happier away from home Kaufman
stated that Mrs, Kline had advised her
to go to Fargo and hunt employment
so she would no longer be dependent
upon her parents. AS the child lacked
the sufficient amount to bring her here.
Mrs. Kline, he said, had added a dol
lar to her funds and started her off.
The bondsmen of Fujita still believe
in the Jap's innocence and state that
the reasons prompting their action in
delivering him to the district court,
was the temperance of his paramour.

Chieauo GOSSIP,

Chicago, July 22.-wheat traders
said at the close last night that the
market had not acted right for the
bulls during the day, although it has
been very deceptive affair of late
am its action as fooled the trade
many times. 1t was said that the nit
element was badly whipp-sawed dur
ing the day, getting long on bulges
and shortmen breaks. Traders claim
ed that had it not been for the advance
in corn than wheat would have closed
materially lower and pointed to the
weakness in July to back un their
statements. A number Of the bulls
apparently lost faith at the last as
they were selling wheat freely at the
finish, taking losses or small prof1ts
and evening up. Bulls called attention
to the strength in the foreign markets
and said. that it would not do to ignore
news from abroad. Bears argued that
the bull news from the northwest had
been discounted and that the bearish
news from the winter wheat section
should have a play from now on.

MCLAUGHLIN to Prison.

John Mclaughlin, a roustabout and
general nuisance, who has been hang
ing about Dilworth for time, was
charged before Justice Malloy, yester-
day afternoon, with an assault upon
a man named Collins. The two, some
days ago, got into a controversy over
a simple matter when the prisoner
flew into a temper and deliberately
threw Collins down a stairway, caus-
ing him to be injured in various ways.
Today the court decided that sixty
days at hard labor in the county jail
would cool down Mr.. Mclaughlin
somewhat. Justice Malloy said he re-
GREETED greatly that there was not
some real hard work which he could
sentence. such men to as they had
reached that grade Of degradation that
only very severe punishment would
bring them to their senses as in small
communities, like Dilworth, they were
a positive nuisance and they usually
acted as though they were the whole
thing, and were insultingly defiant of
law regulations or anything else.

JURY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

New Bedford Standard: The Jury
commissioner OF Chicago recently filed
this list of classes of citizens to which
h. objected for jury duty, ard his OBJ
jections, and they were approved BIZ
the court.
Actors, because they have no fixed
abode.
Laborers and foreign tailors, be-
cause, as rule, not of sufficient edu-
cation.
Boilermakers, because of defective
hearing.
Saloonkeepers and bartenders, be-
cause of their occupation.
Train dispatchers and tower signal.
men. because they are doing a greater
service at their regular positions.
Medical and theological students.
because they are exempt
Peddlers, junk dealers and scaven-
gers, for obvious reasons.
The commissioners also sought to
exclude all those persons who in pur-
suit of their daily tasks habituaIly ac-
cept tips. This list would exclude
walters, porters, BARRIERS, cabmen and
the like; but the court decided that
the digestion of the commissioner was
not sound in such cases and refused
to bar men of that class from jury
service. We do not see why his reason
was not just as good with respect to
the men of these occupations as with
respect to some OF the others. Eff
forts to improve the quality of jurors
are commendable when they are sensi
BILE. but when they are based on the
exclusion of occupations which are
legitimate and useful 1t is a question
II they are sensible. In this state. and
we presume in all states, the court
can exclude from service any man wha
appears personally not to be well
qualified. But judges here do not
venture to set up an arbitrary r,te
that q peddler or a laborer or an actor
Il, by reason Of his vocation, not fit
to serve on jury Nor should they.
A selection founded on such discrim-
nation as that could not In the long
run be satisfactory.

under the guidance of julius c. John
son, and on their return they ex-
pressed surprise at the general excel
lence of the fields, considering the IT.
tie moisture which had been given
them. Mr.. Porter said that there are
some good fields of grain in Clay coun-
ty and on the whole conditions are
much more promising than they are in
