MANNING CASE FROM
WIMBLEDON

summer, according to numerous re-
ports, was suddenly closed Sunday
and it is hoped by the good people
of Edmunds and vicinity that the
piggery, and its Objectionable fea-
tues will be permanently discontin-
ued. The states attorney and the
sheriff went to Edmunds and invaded
the precincts Of the piggery without
any formality, and placed A. G. Wall
izer, whose other occupation was that
of blacksmith, under arrest on the
charge Of selling booze contrary to
the statutes of North Dakota. The
defendant was brought to James,
town and had q hearing in Justice
court and was placed under
$1,000 bonds to appear and answer
to the charge in the district court.
About q dozen witnesses were se-
cured and all kinds Of testimony was
given showing extensive transactions
in the liquor traffic by the defendant.
From all reports Wa1lizer has been
conducting a notorious booze joint
but no one in Edmunds has had the
to come out into the open
and complain In regard to the nuis-
ance.
The case Of the State VS.. Albert
Braasch, with +. D. Aukes complain
ing witness, came up in Jusice Bige-
lows court Tuesday and adjourned
until 3 p. M, to allow the defendant
to secure certain witnesses. The ac-
tion is of a criminal nature, brought
by States Attorney Thorp under the,
technical charge of manning. Aukes
became engaged in q scrap at q barn
dance in Stutsman, county, and lost
the sight of one eye, from a blow by
the defendant. The latter's defense
is self defense. The penalty is q PEN
sentence from one to sew
en- years. C.ss. Buck represents the
defendant. Both parties reside near
Wimbledon and there. are numerous
witnesses on both sides Of the case.
WILL UNITE AGAINST COMMON
ENEMY
Minot, N. D., July 18.-E. G. Coop
er, recognized as a stalwart leader
and no, it is said, in all probability
will be the state chairman this year,
was Minot visitor and during the
stay here he had a conference with
Hon. J.. M. Devine, chairman of the
progressive campaign, committee, at
which 1t is said various phases of the
much desired harmony were dis
cussed. Mr.. Devines statement of
the outcome of the conference is as
follows:
''It is true that E. G. Cooper, chair
man of the stalwart wing of the state
has been to see me and
that convention of the two wings
of the party in North Dakota, with
the object of harmonizing has been
discussed, SO that the party can go
into the fall campaign with a solid
front. I believe that, recognizing the
position of the progressive republic
cans in the primary campaign as x
pressed in speeches over the state
and in published statements, the re-
suits Of the primary should be sus-
tanned. If a platform satisfactory to
progressive leaders can be adopted,
such harmony will in all probability
be brought about. Now that the peo-
pie themselves by a vote at the pri-.
maries have determined the congress
sional and state tickets. the progress
sives believe that the duty Of repub-
licans is to support the ticket named
by the people at the polls. There
fore, with q proper platform prepared
1t is presumed that the stalwarts and
will unite in fighting a
common enemy"
