Old Man, Well Cared For

John Mcdonald, the old gentleman
who walked from Wisconsin to Grand
Forks and was then helped on his
way with a purse and railroad ticket
by kind hearted Grand Forks citi-
Gems, is now being cared for at the
i oronto hotel by Neil MeDougall, and
every effort has been made to locate
the son who is supposed to own a
farm in this neighborhood. Mcdonald
claims that his boy filed on a quarter
OF land near Minot about eight years
ago, but the land Office records fail to
disclose the filing of any such person.
Every effort to locate the son has
proved futile and It is now believed
that the old mans mind is weak, and
it is likely that he will eventually
be cared, for by the county authori-
ties. %

before Squire Lehman Saturday after

Rinehart, Dennis and Faulconer. The
plaintiff was given judgment for $50
and both sides appealed. The plain

it was agreed that the timber should
be cut in eight-feet lengths and piled
out Of the right of way. The defend
ants were given the contract to re-
move this timber and they in turn sub
let it to ~ A. Beckerdite, and after
part of the work had been done the
contract was stopped and the suit fol
lowed.
Squire H. L. Beckerdite represent
ed the defendant and was at the same
time the owner of the property and
one of the contractors, while Mr.. Frank
