are rapidly awakening to the fact that
they must live up to the law, y said W.
O'Gorman, hotel inspector, who was in
the city yesterday and today in con.
nection with his duties. sfOne would
be surprised to see how many Of the
hotels in this state have failed to OBJ
serve all of the provisions of the hotel
law, but they are rapidly coming to
time. The law is not irksome on any
one, it is framed simply for the protec-
ton of the public and am making it
my business to see that sanitary condi-
tions exist, especially in the kitchens. f"
Mr.. O'Gorman was at one time chief
of police of Devils Lake in the days
when Hansbrough was mayor and he
spent few pleasant hours last evening
with some of the old timers.
The fact that Henry Barensheer of
Churchs Ferry neglected to name his
children as heirs to an estate in the
will which he made out year ago, in
which at his death, he will give all Of
his property to his wife, has caused an
interesting petition on proof Of will to
be argued before Judge Henry in pro-
bate court this afternoon, in which At
torneys Flynn s. Traynor appear for
the petitioner, H. c. Hanson, and Attor-
ney Middaugh for the respondents, the
six children Of Henry Barensheer.
The question as to Mr.. Barensheer's
intention arises, the matter Of law re-
curing that the children be named as
heirs in the will unless the party max
ing the will Intentionally wants the
names omitted. Mr. Barensheer has
omitted the names Of the children en-
tirely, whereas had he given them the
small sum of one dollar of his estate in
the will, or else said that during his
life time he fgureu that they had re-
ceived what he considered a proper al
lottment, it would have been sufficient.
The matter of Mr.. Barensheer's inten
ton is the question involved and has
resulted in an interesting case seldom
brought to notice.
Meikeljohn and Ressler of Starkwea-
Their threshed thirty acres of barley
this week securing $40 bushels, or thir-
ty-two and one third bushels per acre.
1t sold for ninety-two cents, making
just $29.75 an acre.
w. O'Gorman, Of Grand Forks, state
hotel inspector, visited the city yester-
day and late yesterday afternoon per-
fected what might be termed s'raid''
on the roomlng house operated by Jo-
han Jensen of Third street Just back
of the Lockwood hotel.
The place was inspected, the result
being that most Of the furniture, mat
tresses and such, were taken to the
dump grounds and disposed of. 1t is
needless to say that in the opinion of
Inspector O'Gorman the place was far
from sanitary and its filthy condition
has been commented on for some time.
All further comment has ceased, how
ever, since the raid yesterday and al
though Mr.. Jensen is making every eff
fort to regain his possessions it is hard
ly probable that he will again be al
lowed to engage in the lodging house
business.
Officer Timboe assisted Inspector o.
German in the inspection of the place
and citizens generally are pleased with
the results accomplished.
At the other places visited Inspector
O'Gorman found things in tip-top con-
dition and he was especially pleased
with the sanitary condition Of the Ho-
tel Western and the Great Northern,
these two places being second to none
in the state for cleanliness.
