rendered. In court he answered
charge of dragging unconcea(ed Weap.
ons, pleaded guilty and paid stiff
fine. He at once filed complaint,
charging the officers with resisting
him, and they were fined and reprl-
manded.
Landlords Tatley and Patterson
were among the first victims and
they paid without protest.
At l o'clock the amount collected in
fines had reached $500, and the re-
ceipts from this source will run to
$500 by the time the celebration
closes.
Dan Hughes of Dickinson tried to
secure an appeal but it was shown
he was not worth to exceed $50 900
and his motion was overruled and he
was arraigned for contempt and paid
heavily.
It was an allday celebration and
there was little time to spend in the
exposition building, but most of the
visitors made hurried trip through 1t.
Visitors Heartily Greeted.
Travelling statesmen are noisy and
spectacular. This was demonstrated
last night when several hundred OF
the fraternity gathered in the hotel
lobbies and on the streets.
At 9:43 the whole party gathered
at the Northern Pacific station with
the colo:ed quartet and orchestra and
met the Fargo delegation. The Far
goites came in a special car and on
their arrival were marched to the
hotels to the tune of lively music.
There were fully 500 people in the
crowd and the line of march was
taken up and proceeded through the
downtown district. A visit was paid
the Commercial Club rooms and then
the procession boke up and pleasure
parties were formed which entered
upon period Of enjoyment that
lasted far into the night.
Gilbreath Surprised.
Superintendent Gilbreath was made
the victim of a complete surprise last
night. 1t was not one of these af-
fairs where everyone knows all about
it week in advance, and when the
subject is notified in the strictest con-
fidence by all the perpetrators, but
was one where the victim was taken
of his feet.
Last evening, Mrs. Stevens, who is
in charge of the anti-tuberculosis as
sOciatiOn booth at the exposition, call
ed on Mr.. Gilbreath and Informed him
that she desired to attend the vaude-
vile performance and did not feel
like going without escort. or
course she did not know any gentle
man connected with the exposition
but the superintendent and she asked
him if he could accompany here. OF
course he would be delighted and we'll
he might be for Mrs. Stevens is
charming lady, the personification of
culture and refinement. The distin-
guished couple were just entering the
theatre when the lights were turned
out and a portrait of Supt. Gilbreath
thrown on the canvas. The big audi
ence rose up and gave the exposition
yell and the superintendent was so
taken aback that he was speechless.
Then the performance went on as u.s.
ual.
It was a happy thought of the ex-
hibitors and a high compliment to
the man who has won their confidence
and esteem. Tonight a set of resolu-
tions will be read from the stage tes-
tifying to the esteem in which Supt.
Gilbreath is held by his co-workers
in making the exposition a; success.
Kangaroo Court Busy.
At an early hour this morning the
kangaroo court got busy. Patrolmen
were thrown out and the hurry up
wagons were kept busy all day.
The vacant room just opposite the
Mckenzie was turned into az inpro-
vised police court, with Jerry .Ryat
of Dickinson on the bench. About
every prominent man in town was run
in during the day and fined from 81
to $2
One of the amusing incidents of the
kangaroo court was the arrest OF
Judge Ryan's wife. She was taken
into court charged with failing to
support her husband, but declined to
plead guilty She testified that sne.
slaved from ten to 20 Hinutes each
day trying to arrange her hair and
powder her nose in such a manner as
to suit the fancy of an 'exacting and
almost brutal husband. Judge Ryan
proved obdurate and assessed fine
of 81. The prisoner. almost in tears.

earned money she picked up on the
train playing pitch. but she paid. ".
