A FARMER LOSES SUIT
Maxhsimer- Austin Co. Said to Have
Evaporated After consummat-
ina a Queer Deal.

Judge Baxter of Fergus Falls has
filed a decision in the case of Paul
Messenger VS.. the Maxheimer- Austin
Investment Co, the Becker county
state bank and Chas. F. Evans, trus-
tee. This is the case in which Mr..
Messenger, who resided in the town of
Scambler, traded his land to the Max
heimer- Austin Co., for some land in
North Dakota, the land to which he
obtained title not being the same as
the land that was shown him. He
brought the present suit to annul the
deed which he had given to his farm,
claiming that it was obtained by
fraud.
The Maxheimer- Austin Co. had inn
mediately mortgaged the land to the
Becker county bank and to Mr. Evans,
who is an Indiana map, and the court
now holds that the land shall be re-
stored to Mr.. Messenger subject, how
ever to these mortgages. The outcome
of the case is in reality a complete
victory for the defendants.
The Maxheimer-Austin Co. has
evaporated and the case was fought
by the Becker county bank and Mr..
Evans, who sought to have their mort
cages declared valid The court holds
that inasn1uch as the record title was
in the company at the time the mort
cages were given, 1t would be unfair
to annul them. Mr.. Johnston repre-
sented the Becker county bank and NJ.
f. Field represented Mr.. Evans. AS
the mortgages amount to as much or
more than the land Is worth, the re-

crosby After counts Seat.

Crosby, N. D., Nov. 15.-The cleo
ton. of last Tuesday decided that a
new county to be known as Divide,
should be created from the northern
half of Williams county. The ques-
ton, which was defeated two years
ago, carried this year by majority
of over 500 and it is unlikely that any
other division Of the territory will
ever occur, although a proposition was
on foot to cut it In three parts, leav-
ing Ray as probable county seat.
Petitions will now be sent to Gov
ernor Burke recommending commits
sioners for appointment. Charles D.
Perry has received the enlargement of
the entire town of Crosby and the VII
cinity. He is very capable and is
highly respected.
Crosby will probably be chosen as
the county seat. 1t is situated two
miles north and one mile east of the
center of population Of the new
county and is otherwise desirable as
a county capital

GOEBEL MURDER
CASE UNDER WAY
WOMAN AGED rs CHARGED WITH
MANsLAuGHTER IN THE FIRST
DEGREE-sToRY OF ALLEGED
CRIME AS OUTLINED TO JURY
BY ATTORNEY JOHNSON.

The jury for the case of the state
against Mrs. Eliza K. Goebel, who is
under Indictment on charge of man.
slaughter in the first degree, was CONS
pleted this morning in the district
court of Clay county. AS soon as the
jury box had been filed Judge Taylor
ordered a recess for fifteen minutes.
On the reassembling of the court
the defendant was brought into court
and given a seat behind her counsel,
City Attorney Witherow. Mrs. Goebel
Is about rs years of age and is rather
infirm and appears to be thoroughly
mystified at the course of the proceed
ings of the court.
In his review of the case to the jury.
County Attorney Johnson first read the
bill of indictment. He said that the
defendant was charged with causing
the death Of a young single woman,
Stena Narverud, the daughter of a
farmer living near Hitterdal, by means
Of an alleged operation to procure the
immature product of an untimely birth
on Oct. last.
He said that deceased at the time
was an employee at the Exchange hotel.
The alleged operation was performed
at the home of the defendant for fee
of $35, $25 of which was paid on ac-
count The attorney stated that after
her visit to the home of the defendant,
deceased returned to her room at the
Exchange hotel and two days after
wards became very i'll. DR.. Humphrey
was sent for and after an examination
he concluded that criminal act had
been performed. The county attorney
was sent for and the patient made
clean breast of the whole affair and
her relations with the GoebeI woman,
and told what the latter had done and
her methods, all in the presence of
competent witnesses. Oct IL deceased
was removed to a hospital in Fargo,
where she fingered in great agony un-
til Oct. 20, when she passed away.
The first witness called by the state
was DR.. Humphrey whose testimony
was largely technical, but stated plain
ly that the demise Of the young wo-
man was caused by blood poisoning
and what caused that was fully de-
scribed by the witness for the jury
Between the date of the alleged opera
ton and the demise of the young wo-
man Dr. Humphrey stated that she
was several times in state of utter
collapse and that her sufferings for
long periods were most excruciat-
ing.
The witness was closely cross-ex-
amined by Mr.. Witherow, who re-
quired the former to explain infinitely,
some of the conditions of Miss Ma
berud during her illness. Among the
witnesses for the state are four young
women all of whom, it is said, will
have interesting stories to tell bear
ing on this case.
It appears that prior to coming to
this city Mrs. Goebel was a resident of
Red Wing and there she was known
as Mrs. Paulson. She is also said to
have wealthy relatives living at or near
Fergus Falls and that one is a drug
gist at the latter city. 1t is not ex-
Dected that the case will be concluded
before Thursday evening at the least.

RELIGIOUS WORK
AMONG The men
THE RELIGIOUS FORWARD MOVE
MENT DISCUSSED AT DRUM
coNFERENcE-FARGo EXPECTS
TO BE ONE OF NINETY CITIES
CHOSEN IN THE MOVEMENT.

At a meeting of the religious, Sun
day school, student and christian
workers held this morning at the Y,
M. G.. A. the great religious forward
movement for men was discussed and
resolutions were adopted for the pur-
pose of selecting Fargo as one of the
ninety cities in which these move
ments shall be held during the years
of 1911 and 1912.
Charles r. Drum was present at
the meeting and fully explained the
great movement to the Fargo relig-
ious workers. The movement will be
a new emphasis on the spirit of the
Laymen's Missionary movement which
recently swept the country and came
to Fargo for one of the big meetings
held throughout the United States
According to the plans of the re-
ligious forward movement, three or
more bands of experts will visit nine
ty cities in the United States and hold
these series of meetings for men.
There will be six men in each COM
rany, and the individual workers in
the company will be specialists in So
cial service, Bible study, religious
work among boys, local extension, and
strong evangelist with a musical di-
rector. These workers will be Joined
by short period men who will come in
and assist in the work at the most
crucial times.
A local committee must be estab-
lished to secure one of these meet
ings and the committee must consist
of 100 men. These 100 men agree to
reproduce the campaign in fifteen or.
twenty smaller towns and thus make
the movement as broad as possible
The movement is to turn the atten-
ton of the people of the United
States towards religion.
The world religious forward move
ment was not started at any one
place but owes it's instigation from
several different sources. Brother
hoods, International Sunday school
associations, ministerial bodies and
other religious organizations are be-
hind the movement.
A committee was appointed at the
meeting this morning to take up the
matter of placing Fargo on the list as
one of the ninety most important cit
les in the country to secure one of
these conventions. The committee
consists of a number of the officers
of the Fargo brotherhoods. Sunday
schools, ministerial association and Y.
M. G. A. and the men appointed win
take further steps Immediately for Sc
curing one of these big conferences.
Mr.. Drum spoke at the Dilworth
shops today at noon and gave very
interesting talk to the railroad men.
His address was plain, simple talk
to men. and was full of manly traits
of the life of Christ. This afternoon
at 80 he will speak at the A. G. and
this evening he will close the cam
paign, which will be the biggest single
day campaign ever carried on in Far
go. by an address to the men of Far
go and Moorhead, at the operahouse.

THAT'S OFF" IN ELEVATORS.

Washington Herald: A correspond
ent who, In an intelligent manner,
discusses the customs of Europe and
the larger cities In this country points
out in Mondays Washington Herald
that "the canons of good breeding do
not require the taking off of ones hat
in public elevator. Rather, it Is
pointed out. the habit stamps one as
provincial
The skyscraper of today differs
widely from the buildings of decade
ago, when the lift was first In vogue.
Then the passenger carrying elevator
was found chiefly in hotels, where all
We're guests Of the same host and in
many cases acquaintances Then. TAX
Ing off the hat was proper, whereas
the gatherings in the huge elevators OF
the present day are Of a molly char
acted, and In most cases the mas
sengers are strangers to one another
We do not tip our hats to strang-
ers, nor do we take off our hats while
buying goods of a saleslady, no matter
how many women may be buvinw
articles at the same counter. An eIe-
vator Is more akin to a store than to a
private room, and New York, London
and Boston recognize this.
The law of good breeding is rational
1t asks nothing for which there is no
valid reason. True chivalry can ba
shown and the proper difference exhih-
tied without ostentatious effort The
''ill-bred" fellow, who 'merits' orr
scowls, may be the true gentleman al
heart. He Is broader. and knows ems
toms in world-sense, while the youth
who has false conceptions, shows his
lack OF broadness by criticising those
who have finer sense of the prx,rle-
ties.
The youth Of Washington does NOT
lack in good breeding, and the FACT
that the example of taking off the hat
in an elevator is followed here To !
greater degree than in other cities In
dicates good intentions, but lack ~
reason for keeping on ones hat, the
sanitary one of guarding against taxi
ing cold would be sufficient. Othar
centers Of population have learned
this.

CHILDREN'S HOME DAY
North Dakota Schools Will Take Big
Collection for chiIdren's Home
Tomorrow.

Wednesday is the day set aside by
the schools Of North Dakota to take
up collection for the Children's home
which is located in Fargo. The day
will be generally observed throughout
the state.
Children's Home day in the schools
over the state is observed by the giving
of recitations and a programme which
fits In with the keeping of such day.
The home has sent out a list of desir-
able recitations which the little tots
can speak and create an interest in
the home.
Collections are taken in the form of
money, food and clothing. BY this
means the home, which is supported
entirely by contributions from the peo-
pie of the state, receives neat sum
for the upbuilding Of the institution.

HAVE STARTED
COUNTING MAIL
EVERY PIECE or MAIL HANDLED
ON LINES OUT OF FARGO AND
IN FACT ALL OVER COUNTRY
WILL BE coUNTED-cET STA
TIsTIcs.

| The work of collecting statistics on
which to establish a new basing esti-
mate for the handling of the United
State mails in transit began Sunday
on all the railroads Of the country and
will be completed in a week or ten
| days. The first counting out OF Fargo
was done by the clerks on Sum
day evening. The counting out of the
terminal points began on Saturday
night and No 8, leaving ST. Paul, had
FL, 400 pieces of small Some mail to-
handle when you stop to think of
throwing each and every one of those
twenty and a half thousand pieces
of mail. Every letter, package and
newspaper, known in railway parlance
as poultry journals" viii be counted.
In order that the regular service
may not be hampered, extra clerks, In
GLIDING the entire reserve force are
being put on.
In this division, however. very little
extra help is required. Railway postal
clerks claim that with a little concen-
tration a man can count and throw
mail almost. IL not quite as rapidly
as under ordinary circumstances where
no counting is required. Naturally
there is mild cussing when man
loses count. but generally speaking
the work is moving along with little
friction.
The object of the count is to ascer-
tain the average number of letters to
the package and the average number
of newspapers to the sack, and to YER
ify the former count, under which the
mail has been handled for years. The
count also win determine whether the
service at all points i'm the country Is
properly equipped. In the first few
years the volume of mail handled In
some sections of the country, notably
In the growing west, has increased
rapidly. The department wishes TO
learn If the service has kept pace with
this increase.
1t has been suggested that the count
is being made to obtain a new general
classification of mail matter, upon
which the postal department can deal
with postal problems as they arise. and
also to give the postmaster general
facts and figures which will enable
him to increase the efficiency OF the
service at reduced cost The officials
OF the railway mail cervice here have
received no notice to this effect
The district which includes Fargo
embraces northern Michican, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, South Dakota, and requires
the services of about 1,400 clerks.

Woman as smreaIara.


Smuggling never will go out of fash
ion among women until some sort OF
odium shall attach to this forms of law
breaking. In some instances fines OF
impressive magnitude have been i'm
posed, but In each case upon Offenders
rich enough to pay them without en-
barrassment. There are feminine
travellers to whom notoriety is not dis
tasteful, and who, If forced to pay
duty, regard the price as not extortion-
ate when the space devoted to the in
cident by the newspaper Is taken into
consideration. There are others who
consider detection by customs officials
as an impertinence or joke, and in
no manner discreditable to themselves.
These same women would never be

TOTAL MOON ECLIPSE
Luna Will Go Into Total Eclipse To-
morrow Night-cIouds May Hide
View in Fargo.

From present indications Fargo peo-
pie will not be able TO see the total
eclipse of the moon which is scheduled
for tomorrow evening. The moon will
begin to go into eclipse about 6:55
and will be in total eclipse about one
hour later. At about o'clock or
shortly before that time the moon will
begin to emerge and will be entirely
out by about 10 o'clock.
The cloudy nights which have been
general for some time over this part
Of the country will probably cause
Fargoans to miss most of the display.

the day before.
Mr.. Bait left Sunday evening for ST
