WILL DECIDE The
STATUS OF CREDIT
INTERESTING LIQUOR CASE
WHICH MAY DECIDE VALIDITY
OF INDIAN TERRITORY AND
RESPONSIBILITY OF LIQUOR
DEALERS.

| IT is among the possibilities that
retail dealers in liquors, ere long, viii
! find themselves on a strictly cash
basis as far as the wholesale liquor
! dealers and distillerles are concerned,
despite their credit ratings with Brad :
streets or any OF the mercantile
agencies. 1t all depends on whether
are maintained by the court Of last
resort. If such a contingency arises
lit Twill be because of geographical
limitations. or in other words because
they are within the treaty limits which
forbid the Introduction of liquors in
what is commonly known as Indian
territory.
Two OF the Moorhead law firms arc
interested in case which is to come
before the district court in Fargo at
very early date-probably next Mon
DAY If adjournment is not taken on
account of election. Because of as
signments of interests the style of the
case is the stone Piano Co. VS.. w. M

dealers, who sue for bill of goods

defendant.
The amount sued for Is $500. In
his answer to the complaint it is said
the defendant claims that he is no.
liable as the goods were shipped into
so-called Indian territory which is al
legged to be illegal and here comes the
rub If that contention is upheld by
the jury trying to case and confirmed
by the court above 1t simply means
that wholesalers will discontinue sales
on credit and buyers within treaty
limits affecting the Indians of north
ern Minnesota will have to remit cash
with their orders, big or little.
1t is very nice question. This
suit Is one of three pending in this
part of the state, one of them rising
in Detroit and which is scheduled for
airing early next year in the district
court Before that one is tried. how
ever, there may be a supreme court
decision which will settle the status
of that case which was referred to In

JOHN PETERKIN
DROPPED DEAD
WELL KNOWN FARGO TRAVELLING
MAN, PAST GRAND PATRIARCH
OF N. o. ODD FELLOWS, SUM.
MoNED BY DEATH WITHOUT
INsTANT's WARNING.

John Peterkin, one OF the bes
known travelling men OF Fargo. and
Past Grand Chief Patriarch OF the
North Dakota Odd Fellows lodge
dropped dead this morning at Han
kinson, N. d. II Is thought that his
death was due to an attack of heart
trouble.
Mr.. Peterkin came to North Dakota
in 1882 and began working for the
Bristol & Sweet Harness Co. He was
employed by this firm for number
of years as foreman of the harness
factory. Later he went on the road
for the same firm, but in recent years
he has Travelled for a number OF well
known eastern harness houses. At the
present time he was travelling for a
harness house located in Chicago, but
has had his headquarters in Fargo.
His death occurred while he was at
the store Of Max Wipperman at Han
kinson, where he was selling goods
There will be a coroner's inquest held,
after which the body will be shipped
to Fargo. No funeral arrangements
have been made.
The deceased was one of the most
prominent members Of the Odd Fellows
lodge in North Dakota. He is past
noble grand of Wildey lodge No. SIS
Of Fargo, and at one time was elected
as grand representative of the lodge
of this state, but was unable TO serve.
In the order he was beloved by all
who knew him, and the fact that he
had risen to the highest office in the
stale is evidence Of the esteem which
the members of tie lodge had for him.
Efforts to locate relatives have been
fruitless. He never spoke of any of
his relatives save brother, but no
one in the city seems to be able TO
know anything about the brother,
other than the fact that he was a

Grain Opinions.

Ware and Leland: We regard the
general wheat situation as bearish and
while rallies may be expected We pre-
fer to suggest sales on them whenever
they appear.
Finley Darrell Co.: Unless some
thing unexpected developments to re-
store confidence in the trade or turn
the trend of popular sentiment, the
market will continue its downward
course until values reach level
which will prove attractive to us and
the foreigners.
Logan g. Bryan: 1t seems little
like folly to advise selling of wheat on
such a break, but it looks as though
we are in the middle Of the stream
and must keep going with the bear
market until prices are established
which will bring foreigners to this
side for breadstuffs.
Clement Curtis & Co.: The wheat
market has been confirming our value
that it is sale on all bulges. We see
nothing to change our opinion. Corn
will be governed largely by the at
titude by the farmers rather than the
size of the crop. II. w. q Co.

Chicago, Nov, 4.-The wheat Glar-
ket opened steady to a shade higher
and ruled dull with heavy covering
by local shorts. which furnished about
the only support. Some new selling
after noon caused a break of nearly
cent from the high point. Local ele-
gator interests brought on this break,
causing sharp rally to the early high
point. There is absolutely no change
in the grain situation, except that
probably there are fewer shorts in the
market. We must have more buying
power to be able to held prices.
