The case was tried before Judge
c. w. Stanton, Judge M. A. Spooner
appearing for the Douglass Lumber
company, G. M: Torrance for Bell &
Company, and e. E. Mcdonald and
John L. Brown for the plaintiff
The verdict was awarded jointly
against the Douglass Lumber COM
pany and Bell & Company. Judge
Spooner, on behalf of his client,
appealed to the supreme court,
where it was argued November 80
by him and P. J. Mclaughlin OF
St. Paul.
The decision of the supreme court
follows:

defendants; Douglass Lumber. COM
pany, appellant. >...ss~ e.. ...
"Syllabus: First Whether de-
fendent Bell & Co. were, as indie
pendent contractors, solely, respon-
sible to plaintiff for injury sustain
ed while in their employ was in this
case a question for the injury. ?.
'Second-The degree of diligence
required of the owner of dangerous
machinery in guarding it. as pro-
vided by statute, is greater than is
ordinarily required of a master to see
that machinery and appliances fur
nished by him are free from defects.
"Third-Where the issue is wheth-
er one has absolved himself from liza
bility by turning over control of a
mill or factory to an Independent
contractor, it is error to permit evil
dence that prior to the making of the
contract the owner had taken out
employers liability insurance.
"Fourth-When' the trial court in
it's discretion directs the jury in ad-

Action of Indian Department Has
Stopped All Developments in
That Vicinity.
BIG PROTEST MEETING DEC. 20
Senators, congressman and Business
Men Urged to Meet at Detroit
Next Thursday.

Strong efforts are being made by
the citizens of Detroit, Minnesota,
to clear the title to lands on the
White Earth Reservation in that vi
cinity, over which there has been
considerable controversy during
the last few months. The latest
move in this direction comes from
the Detroit Commercial Club, which
is sending out a call to the business
men of Clay, Becker, Wadena, Hub
bard, Mahnomen, Clearwater, Bel
trami, Polk and Norman counties to
attend a meeting to be held at De-
troit next Thursday, Dec. 20, for
the purpose of influencing the gov
eminent at Washington sufficiently
to clear up the matter.
In it's call for the meeting, the
Detroit Commercial Club says:
There has been from 6 to 10 mil
lions of dollars invested within the
last four years on the White Earth
Indian Reservation in an area of 80
townships of land (about equally
divided between prairie and timber)
capable of affording farm homes for
an average of 1000 people to the
township, or in all about $4,000
people, A small part of this land
has been bought by people who have
come here from the east and south
for the purpose of settlement. but a
question of title having been raised,
they hesitate to make the necessary
improvements in the way of build
ings, opening of highways and gen
eral development. Practically all
of the immigration to these lands
has bten stopped.
1.-THE law known as the 'Clapp
Amendment invited settlers here,
and Congress authorized the sale of
all lands held by mixed blood In
dams. Through the action of the
departments of government, immi-
grafton into our state, settlement of
these lands, all business growing out
of it's development, and much traf-
fc have been stopped and are at a
standstill because these departments
claim that some Indians of full blood
have sold their land, although no
interested person has been accord
ed a hearing on the question of
whether the Indians had white blood
or not.
"This commercial club has re-
quested the presence of Senators
Clapp and Nelson, Congressman
Stevenson and others at meeting
of business men of Northern Minne-
sofa to be held at Detroit on Thurs
day, December 20, 1910, at 10 a. M,
at which time they will be urged to
take immediate action for the relief
of these conditions, which they have
the power to do, and that such action
may be taken as will require the is
suance by the department, without
delay, of fee simple patents upon all
lands of mixed blood Indians"

The same suit will do to use In

The manner OF drying the hair af-

sible for damage to the scalp. To dry
with heat that is artificial, no matter
in what form It may be applied, direct.

BY rubbing with soft towels, not
only is the moisture taken out without
shriveiing the pores. but a certain
amount OF massage is given, In itself
highly beneficial because 1t promites
circulation.
1t is a temptation to use Turkish
towels, for they absorb quickly. but
the selection Is not wise. because they
shed lint. even when new, and the
work may be finished leaving the locks
peppered with fine threads difficult
to get out. Any good hand towels
are suited to the purpose.

MUST LEAVE CARD At

Point of Etiquette Unsettled at

when at a tea?
In England such guests invariab bly,
send In cards. but there Is reason
for that which some women assert
does not exist here. In London
luncheon guests. when the outer door
is open. put their cards on the maids
or buffers tray. The guests them
selves go at once to a room to re-
move their wraps. land such rooms
in London houses are on the street
floor; the drawing rooms there are
invariably one fight up.
The hostess, from the cards that
are presented to her, knows of the
arrival of her guests, even before the
individuals themselves reach the
drawing room. and so her mind Is at
rest in regard to them.
In this country the situation diff
fers In that the dressing room Is up
one fight and the drawing room on
the street floor. But the fact re-
mains that wraps are to be removed.
and the guests are In the house at
lease Ave minutes before they see

does not know OF their presence until
