Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-06-27

In speaking of the endless amount
! of work entailed in preparing the evi
dence was concerned. The suit was
Curdy, one of the counsel for the state
recalled trial in which he had been
employed as counsel that surpassed
this one insofar as the technical evi
dence was concerned. The slut was
brought to resist payment for gaso
line engine which the purchaser
claimed was made of inferior stuff.
In order to present the case McCurdy
had to get thorough understanding
Iof gasoline engine and all of its
component parts. He had to learn
the difference between the fly wheel
and spark plug and be able to speak
entertainingly and convincingly on
both. He had to know good brass
from a piece of phoney stuff, and to
know all the composite parts of steel
iron, and the chemical analysis of
gasoline and water. When McCurdy
got through with that trial he knew
more about gasoline engines than a
district manager for a sores pondence
school.
A salesman who either needed the
money or is just natural born hust.
Ter. figured it out that If he would
catch the early morning freight from
Bismarck to Washburn he could have
time to Work" Washburn and then
catch the passenger on up north. He
had the clerk at the Grand Pacific
call him at 400 a. m. Monday morn
ing, and went down to The yards and
took up position on track awaiting
the start of the freight. When the
passenger train backed into the depot
at 1880 he was still there. He took
the passenger. He expressed himself
as being almost displeased with the
way things had come out.
Conductor Sam Russell on the
north 500 line has found something
to be thankful for in the encroachment
of mustard upon many wheat fields
along the line. Russell says breath
ing the air along the line helps hay
fever. And, speaking of mustard in
the wheat fields, Russell said last year
that the manager of the Mandan Mer-
camille Company at Wilton was locked
so much on part of his wheat because
of the mustard seed in it. that he de-
cided to have it cleaned before put
ting it on the market. After the
wheat had gone through the tanning
mill he found himself in possession of
a big quantity of mustard seed-which
he marketed in the east for $500.
The man who was wearing new
shoes had the attention of the entire
audience at the Bickford trial when
he tried to walk across the floor to
get out. The shoes could have been
heard a block distant.
When Fred Hendirckson was put on
the stand to attest to the general good
reputation of Bedford, Mr.. Hendrick
son testified that he himself is for
mer alderman and also former men,
Der of the state legislature. When he
was turned over to the state for cross
Engerud said. Lets see,
you sell life insurance.
don't you?"
YES, Sir" testified the witness.
81 thought so," remarked Engerud-
"a life insurance agent now. and for
mer alderman and former member of
the egislature-tflat's ALL"
Hendrickson enjoyed the joke as
much as the others who heard it.
