Mandan, NJ. d., Dec. B.-The case of
the state of North Dakota against j.
A. Bower was tried in Judge Thurs
toms court here. Bower it seems sold
a horse to one Ira WEIGH After WEIGH
bought the horse he found 1t was not
as represented and returned the same.
Bower stating that he would take him
another horse.
Bower did take him the second horse
but 1t also was not what WEIGH want
ed, but WEIGH had given Bower his
note and mortgage in payment for a
horse. When he returned the last
horse Bower refused to turn over the
note and mortgage and afterwards
traded the notes into the Bingen-
heimer Mercantile Co. on a bill of
goods. The Bingenheimer people
found that they could not collect the
note from WEIGH because he had re-
celved no consideration in return and
consequently they made out a COM
plant against Bower.
Judge Thurston bound Bower over
to the district court.

BABY'S EYE WAS
PUNCHED OUT

Gwinner, N. D. Dec. 5.-A
shocking accident occurred at the
d. t. Whitlock home Wednesday
morning. Mrs. Whitlock went to
the barn to do some chores, leay-
ing her two small children in the
cookcar, in which they live alone.
She had tied the youngest, aged
about Ia months, in the chair to
prevent its getting into the fire in
her absence, while it's little g.
year-old brother was in the room
with it.
In a short time the screams OF
the younger child brought the
mother back to the car, where
terrible sight met her gaze. In
some way one of its eyes had been
punched out of it's socket and sus-
pended against its cheek.
Just in what way the accident
happened is not known, but a
fire poker was lying beside it's
chair and 1t is presumed that the
older brother, in playing had com
mitted the deed with that instru-
ment.
n DIR. williams was Immediately
summoned, but the eye was COM
pletely destroyed and nothing
could be done but relieve the
child by his agony by opiates. In
the afternoon it was resting
quietly and it will live.

The Lid FITS SECURELY
All Mandan Business Houses Closed

Mandan Pioneer: The city fathers
instead of waiting for the new and
much discussed city ordinance to 60
into effect thought it would be best to
enforce the state law on last Sunday
and consequently the chief of police
notified all business houses on Satur-
day to close their doors.
The lid clamped onto Mandan as if
it was made to fit and there were no
arrests or violations of the law so
far as can be ascertained. There were
few laughable incidents happened.
but there was no spirit of malice and
every business man did his utmost to
obey the law.
1t was a nice, quite, peaceful Sun
day and our New England forefathers
of few centuries ago could not have
helped but given their sanction to the
way the citizens of Mandan conducted
themselves. The few men who were
able to obtain the Sunday papers
staid sedately in the seclusion OF their
homes and read the funny page and
smoked the cigars they bought on Sat-
urday night. The management of the
Topic theatre also fell In line and
closed their doors in the evening. 1t
was fitting Close" to the day.
However, II is stated on positive in
formation that the lid Is on to stick.

bly, modify the law in certain respects

tunity to be open during certain hours

THIEF CONFESSES;
MAY LAND OTHERS.
OFFICERS HOPE TO uPRooT Al
LEGGED GANG THAT HAS
BOLDLY BEEN OPERATING
NEAR MELVILLE.

Darlington, N. D., Dec. 5.-Stutsman
county officials believe they are In a
fair way to break up notorious gang
of thieves that have been operating
fer long time past in southern Foster
and northwest Stutsman counties.
Tuesday, at Jamestown, Albert Do
bernz plead guilty to the charge of
stealing $25 worth of hay from Geo.
Ackerman's farm near Melville. He is
to receive his sentence from Judge f.
t. Burke Dec. II. His brother, Ernest,
is charged equally with the crime but
SO far he has escaped capture.
For a considerable time past thefts
have been frequent around Melville.
Grain and hay have been missed at
regular intervals, harnesses have been
stolen, and about everything loose has
been picked up by what is claimed to
be an organized gang. Wagons have
been traced from the scenes Of the
thefts to the Melville elevators, to Ed
munds and to Darlington. Most of
the plumber secured was disposed of
at once. While the farmers have been
certain as to the thieves, it has been
hard to fasten any evidence on them
that would result in a conviction in
court
About two weeks ago the Alderman
hay was stolen, and the crime was
charged to the Dobernz brothers with
the result that now one faces a peni-
Tertiary sentence. With this convic-
ton secured, the officers and farmers
hope to be able to wipe out the entire
gang and again make property safe
in that section.
This fall Peter link left load of
barley standing in a field, The next

wagon had been pulled alongside dur

BIG SCRAP over

HELEN PRiNpEvILLE or
GRAND FORKS COUNTY.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec 5.-Alle-
cations that Miss Frances Mari
on Wagsr at the time she was nomi-
mated a candidate for superintendent
or schools, as well as at the time of
the general election last month, was
not q legal resident of Grand Forks
county and therefore does not possess
the necessary qualifications for the
position to which she claims that she
was elected, are contained In the an
swer fled by Miss Helen Prindevil1e
today in the contest brought against
her by Miss wagar.
Furthermore, Miss Prindeville con-
tends that while the women voters of
Grand Forks were not registered.
there was a registration Of the male
voters; that the election boards al
lowed the women to vote. and that
the women Of the city did vote in
good faith, believing that any forms
connected with voting had been car
ried out by the election boards. In
other words, she raises the contention
that the legal voter should not be dis
franchised through the carelessness or
neglect of the election officials.
BY consent Of counsel it is expected
that the trial of this case will come
up within the next ten days before
Judge G. T. Templeton of the district
court. Such arrangements are pend
ing and will doubtless be perfected.

spite of the fact that the county can
vassing board declared that Miss Prin-
deville had been elected, the legality
OF the vote cast by the women OF the
city Of Grand Forks is questioned.
Miss Wagar contends that the accur-
ate vote of the county on the superin
tendency was 2,645 for herself and
2,52S for the defendant. The vote in
Grand Forks city as cast by the wo-
men was $50 for the defendant and
Ss9 for the plaintiff.
That there were no registration lists
OF women at the several polling places
and that they were not required to
swear in their votes, is the basis of
the plaintiffs case.
Miss Wagar also sets forth the al

hold the Office Of superintendent.
