Judge Goss Cleaning Up the Old
Cases. Second Disagreement
in Gore Case. II. I. Baker
is Found Guilty of Assault.

Judge E. B. Goss has been doing
good job the past week of cleaning up
old cases on the Stark county calendar.
There were several cases in which Judge
Crawford was disqualified and the Minot
judge has made it point to dispose of
these.
The jury in the Scott Gore case. in
which Annie Hajue was complaining
witness. could not agree. Seven were
for conviction and five for acquittal.
This was the second disagreement and
it is not likely that there will be any
further prosecution. M. A. Hildreth
thought that the prosecution had
stronger case than before. McFarlane
E. Murtha were satisfied. Their client
is big cattle grower in Mckenzie
county and as soon as he was through
here he went to Wibaux on business
from which place he was to 60 to New
Mexico to receive 800 cattle for his
range.
The state case against W. S. Turley
was dismissed.
A. I. Baker was found guilty Of as
sault.
The civil action Of C. H. Wiley
against Geo. Metcalf ct al was dis
missed. It was an old case on account
of hay used from Wiley stack during
hard winter. A payment and offer
of more by defendants was not satisfac-
tory to plaintiff. hence the suit. Camp
bell & Field for plaintiff. W. F. Bur-
nett for defendant.
In the G. r. Wannemacher cases vs.
r. A. Kruse ct al, judgment was given
plaintiff, the court directing the verdict
in most of the cases. Heffron e. Baird
and M. A. Hildreth appeared for plain
tiff. H. C. Berry for defendants. Paul
Koch and Geo. Frye are on some of the
bonds, so Wannemacher feels sure of
enough for costs.
The John Martin case VS. j. M. Wat
son ct al and j. M. Watson ct al VS.
VIM. McCar:y was settled. Bureeson
& Haney appeared for the Watson peo-
pie and McFarlane & Murtha for Martin
and McCarty.
The court directed verdict for de-
fendant in the case of American Cash
Register Co. vs. Walton & Davis. The
register company put one OF its patent
account cases in the Walton & Davis
Office. After giving the device a fair
trial it was found to be inadequate for
their business and they offered to give
the company $50 and stand the freight
both ways. Some over $500 was involved
and the company brought suit through
Field &. Pugh. The Dickinson Mercan-
tile Co. and Parker & Co. each have
one of these register account cases and
threw them out, and it is understood
that Soules & Butler intend to do the
same with one that they have been
trying to use. The one in the A. T.
Crowl &. Co. store. however. is still in
use.
Early in the week Judge Goss set
Friday at 2 D. m. as the time for
passing sentences on j. S. White. Carl
A]brecht and A. l. Baker. If these
sentences are given in time for this
issue of the PRESS they will be found
on page 2.
1t was understood Friday morning
that Judge Goss would finish during the
day and return home in the event ing,
leaving the unfinished business for
Judge Crawford next week.
judge Goss is a candidate for the
supreme bench. and during his two
weeks in this county he has made very
favorable impression among the people.
