SNOW STORM |J||I
LAST SATURDAY
FIRST HEAVY SNOW OF SEASON FELL
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
HEAVIEST FOR YEARS

Last Friday night and Saturday
the first snow storm of the season
visited this section of the state.
From four to six inches fell and
as there was little or no wind it
made very good sIeighing. The
storm Saturday was one of the
most beautiful snow storms we
have witnessed for years and it
must have been q similar one
which inspired George W. Bun
CAV when he wrote the following
verse: .... .@1. ill.,
Lo. sifted through the winds that blow.
Down comes the soft and silent snow.
White petals from the flowers that grow
In the cold atmosphere.

GOVERNMENT BRINGS SUIT
TO DISSOLVE SUGAR TRUST
LONG EXPECTED ACTION BY THE FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT BEGUN IN NEW YORK MONDAY-CLAlM
MADE THAT HAVEDdEYER GOT LARGE GIFT

New York, Nov. 28.-Attacking
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, familiarly known as the
sugar trust, as a lawless combina.
ton, the federal government to-
day filed its long expected suit for
the dissolution of the corporation.
The petition was filed by Henry
A. Wis11, district attorney, in the
United States circuit court for the
southern district Of New York and
the suit, which was brought under
the Sherman antitrust law, is ex-
pected TO be one of the most i'm
portant actions of the kind ever
undertaken in this country.
The governments petition is a
lengthy one, occupying POI printed
pages, and is q sweeping arraign-
ment of the defendant company
One of the allegations is that the
late H. O. Havemeyer of New
York, long the head of the sugar
combine, received $l0,0OO,0OO OF
the common stock of the National
Sugar Refining company of New
Jersey as q gift at the time the
oorporation was formed to take
into the combine four independent
concerns, the National Sugar Re
6ninx COMPANY, run by G. H
Howiellson and company, the New
York Sugar Refining company Of
Long Island City, n. T., operated
by Clause Dosher; the Mollenhauel
Sugar Refining company of Brook
lyn, and the w. j. McCahan Sugar
Refining company of Philadelphia
These companies up to 1900 were
independent, and it is said the
American company was determined
to acquire them. Under the plan
inaugurated by Havemeyer, John
E. Parsons and James H. Post,
the National company was formed
and took over the four plants,

POLLOCK HEARS
PEMBlNA CASE
LEGAL DISPUTE OVER LOCATION o.
PfMBlNA COUNTY SEAT UP FOR
HEARING IN DISTRICT COURT

Fargo, Nov. 26 The matter of
the controversy over the location
of the county seat of PembinA
county, as decided BY the voters
at the recent election, occupied the
attention of the district court to-
day. Both sessions were taken up
by the counsels for both sides with
their respective arguments, which
were lengthy. The case was brot
to Fargo to suit the..convenience of
the attorneys who appear and at
the request of Judge w. j. Knee
shaw of Pembina, who asked that
Judge Pollock sit in the case.
The dispute is between the cities
of Pembipa and Cavalier, over the
selection Of the latter as the perma+
nent county seat Of Pembina county.
In it's complaint Pembina charges
the county commissioners with dis
eliminating in favor of Cavalier
against other towns in the county
which we're candidates for the
place. Hamilton was one of the
aspirants for the location of the
county seat, but it is alleged that
a stipulation was made which con-
fined the choice to Cavalier and
Pembina.
Pembina asks that the election
be set aside, claiming its irregul-
arity on the score that the voters
were not allowed to vote for any
other towns, including Hamilton.
which desired to enter the race.
Ball, Watson, Young & Lawrence
appear as counsel for Pembins,
and George A. Bangs of Grand
Forks is the attorney for Cavalier.
Judge N. G. Young is conducting
the case for the plaintiff.
Pembina, the county seat until
the question is definitely decided
by the courts, is one of the old and
historic towns of North Dakota.
1t was founded long before the
territorial days, when it was m
important commercial post in the
old fur trade that was carried on
in the pioneer days. It is still
as its location so near
the international boundary makes
it the seat of the United States
custom house for the commercial
intercourse between this country
and a great portion of the Canadian
northwest.

GIRL SAVES LIFE
OF MAIL CARRIER
INTREPID DEuVERER, WHO SOUGHT ID
CROSS RAINY RIVER, CAUGHT
BY thin llE-lS SAVED

Rainy River, Ont, Nov. 28.-
The fate of j. A. Hyer, who carries
the mail from Baudette to Clemen-
ton, was in doubt for twenty min
u5es Saturday. Knowing the anx-
iety of the people to get their mail
he thought he would venture up
the river.
Lizzie Allowa, 13 years old,
hearing the cries of the drowning
man, went out on the thin ice,
which bent even beneath her frail
weight, and, lying on the ice at
the edge of the break, she caught
the coat collar of Hyer, and with
all her strength attempted to pull
him to the surface. He pleaded
with her to let him 60.
II will drown sure," he said.
Let me 60, don't risk your life.
1t will only mean the death of two
instead of one," but the girl hung
on and refused to give up, all the
time calling Justify for help.
The water came over the surface
of the ice, and half the girls body
was covered, but still she held on.
Finally long POLES were secured
and showed ahead, and just as the
ice gave way a rescuing hand
grasped the girl, and she was
pulled from her perllous position,
still clinging to the now practically
unconscious man who was saved.

par value of 100000 to Have
meyer. The petition says that those
shares "were issued in the first
instance contrary to law and in
violation of the corporations fran
chise and for no consideration, as
both said Post and Hevemeyer then
we'll knew"
The government also alleges that
when the American company took
over the four Philadelphia COM
panies, the Franklin Sugar Re-
tining company, the Spreckles
Sugar Refining company, the Della
ware Sugar House and E. Z. Knight
company, Havemeyer and his
brother, Theo. Havemeyer, bought
forty-ive per cent of the stock of
the Spreckles company and then
sold it at q large profit to the
American company of which both
were directors. In general, Pc

Deets, refined sugar, molasses,

BATTLING NELSON
FAKES THE COUNT
OWEN MORAN ADMINISTERS DEFEAT TO
Ex,CBAnPtoN LIGHTWEIGHT PUq
LIST N ELEVENTH ROUND

San Francisco, Nov. 28.-Battl-
ing Nelson cannot come back. The
fact was determined on Saturday,
when, for the 6rst time in his
career he was knocked out for the
count OF ten by Owen Moran, the
popular English lightweight. In
the eleventh round of a scheduled
twenty round bout the ex-cham-
pion was knocked to the floor five
times. The fifth time he remained
down for the final count of ten,
then, as Referee Ben Selig was an
nouncing the decision the Dane
leaped to his feet. the blood stream
ing from his mouth and nose, loud
ly importuning the referee to al
low him to continue. .:.
The largest crowd ever assem-
bled at a glove contest in this city
was unwilling to concede a single
round of the bout to Nelson S
credit. The Dane was ever the
aggressor, his evident intention
being to make Moran fight close,
and his opponent mastered the
situation by beating him at his
own game. Round after round
Moran would step back, side step,
and dance around the aggressive
Nelson, all the while shooting in
straight forceful punches to the
Jaw and head, and seldom receiv-
ing a punch in return.
In the eleventh round Moran
was given his chance when Nelson,
with bowed head, rushed into close
quarters. Moran's right caught
Nelson flush on the jaw and he
went down for the count of nine.
As Nelson tottered to his feet, the
Briton's powerful arm shot out
and again Nelson went down.
Thrice more he dropped as Moran's
glove reached his unprotected jaw,
and with the last he remained down
for the count. =,
Nelson claimed he had been
counted out prematurely, and ex-
pressed the belief that he would
have been as fresh as ever in the
next round. However, Moran
proved his ability bey yond all doubt
and he is now assured of a match
with Wolgast. Wolgast, upon
hearing the fight returns, announc-
ed that he will meet Moran in May
if assured $12, 800 and is permitted
to name the referee.

VERY WELL KNOWN

Towner, N. d., Nov. 25,-But-
Ter Lamb, the we'll known tennis
champion of the state, died very
suddenly at his home here, heart
failure being the supposed cause
of his demise.
The death of Mr.. Lamb, who
has been a practicing attorney at

comes as a shock to his great
many friends in this city and over

in Grand Forks in 1909, Mr..
Lamb won the state championship
and he has been for q number of
years, quite prominent as 4 con-
tender for that honor, as we'll as
for others in the tennis world!
In the primaries he was a candi-
date for the democratic nomina-
ton for congress but withdrew
before the election. He was we'll

Bio Real Estate Deal.

The biggest deal in farming land
that has taken place in this county in
a long time was made here recently
when 1866 acres Of land near Heine-
mann changed hands. This large
tract, owned by Pitts Brothers Of
Sumter, was bought by Mrs J P Gam
bic, the purchase price being $4,000,
a little less than $40 an acre. This is
a pretty good price for Williamsburg
dirt, considering the fact that only 500
acres of the land was cleared: Ten
years ago this same land could hard
ly have been sold for S. an acre.

The Cold Snap.

From what can be learned in con-
versation with parties from differ
ent sections of the county the cold
weather and frost have not done a
great amount of damage so far as
can be noticed at this time. Cotton,
if up at all, is small and a few warm
days will restore its vitality, while
corn seems to be uninjured. The
greatest amount of damage is sus-
tanned by truck-growers. Beans an
other early vegetables are partly
killed and what survives will be
of inferior quality. Altogether the
outlook in the county is not near
so Bad as it might have been.
