Post Election Suits
During November. an application
was made to Judge Kneeshaw and a
temporary writ requiring the board of
county commissioners to show cause
before Judge Pollock at Fargo. was
issued and upon the return day. the
board made its return and Judge
Pollock held that the election was
legal. that the statute was valid and
had been fully complied with, and
that the county seat should be re-
moved: This was upon an applica-
ton for an original writ Of prohibi-
ton. From the decision of Judge
Pollock an appeal was taken to the
supreme court and this was argued
at Bismarck May 8. 1911, Judge N. c.

Of much interest to all concerned with
questions involved in the removal of
county Seats, the division of coun-
ties and kindred subjects.
The main propositions relied upon
by the Pembina adherents were:
(1.) That the board of county
commissioners had lost jurisdiction
through failure to grant the contin-
uance prayed for on July 13. .
(2.) That the statute did not au-
thorize the submission of the ques-
ton Of removal of the county seat
from the old, to the proposed new To-
cation. but that, on the contrary, it
WIS a relocating statute and re-
quired the submission Of the questions
In the same manner as 1t had been
submitted in 1894.
The decision of the supreme court
confirms the view of the law taken
by the Cavalier adherents.

Pollock there was Instituted by other

The Supreme Courts Decision
Brings Close TO Battle That
Was Interesting
STILL ANOTHER CASE
REMAINS UNsETTL ED
Judge Templeton Heard That
Action and Suspended His
Ruling

In view Of the decision that was
handed down BY the supreme court
Thursday unfolding Cavaliers right
to the county seat honors in Pembina
county. as against the city of Penn
bina, decision is very shortly ex-
pected from Judge G. f. Templeton
OF Grand Forks district court on the
contest case instituted by Pembina.
The contest was argued before
Judge Templeton. but under an agree
ment between the attorneys, the de-
cision was suspended pending the rul-
ing OF the court on the proposition
that was laid before Judge Pollock
and by him decided in favor Of Cava-
lier. :
Substantially the same questions as
were brought before Judge Pollock
were laid before Judge Templeton in
arguments made in Grand Forks
February "a, this year, and It is ex-
pected that his decision will be in
accord with the supreme courts new
decision, just handed down.
Controversy Interesting
The history of the Cavalier-Pem-
bina controversy is exceptionally in
teresting.
In 1894. the question was first sub
mitted to the people Of Pembina
county on the relocation Of its coun-
ty seat and at the election held in
November Of that year, votes were
cast for the permanent location Of
the county seat as follows: For Cava-
lier 1743, for Pembina 76s. scattering
$50, making a total Of 3,041 votes Of
which Cavalier received fifty-seven
per cent, Pembina twenty-five per
cent and the remaining eighteen per
cent scattered.

two-thirds per cent Of ali Of the
votes cast, the relocation Of the

Exhibits.
In the machinery department new
features will be found by the fair
visitors, with spaces for exhibition
purposes already held by over half
hundred different companies. The
machinery hall and the space that has
been set aside for the use of the ma
chine dealers, will be crammed to
their capacity.
Every modern agricultural imple-
ment will be found. Traction blowing
Will be displayed in manner never
before attempted, and the feature
thus created will be one that cannot
but draw farmers to the fair.
Horse Show Will Surpass All.
The horse show that will be held
will surpass everything of the kind
ever held in Grand Forks. Already
the number of exhibitors has passed
the marks of previous years, and the
horse barns will be filled. There is
one noticeable feature in connection
with the horse exhibits. and that is
the fact that there are more individual
owners exhibiting than before. The
professional stock grower is, in a
measure, retired from the front ranks.
although he, too, will be found there.
Liberal Arts Building.
In liberal arts some new sights
Will be found. With 1874 spaces on
the ground floor and every one of
them sold two weeks ago, it is at once
apparent that there will be great
things in store for the visitors.
The upper floor will be given over
entirely to the women's department.
the educational finer arts and the
North Dakota game and fish commits
sion exhibits. 1t is expected, Judging
from the present entry lists, that
these departments will all establish
new marks.
Invites New Competition.
New competition will be injected
into the poultry display this year
through the ruling which bars the
"car lot" exhibitor, and who has, in
the past, successfully quashed local
interest in measure. The small
chicken owner now gets into the game
with fair chance to win the money,
and the wact that the owners are
aware of that fact, is found in the
number of poultry entries received.
Advertised Extensively.
Probably no fair that has been held
in Grand Forks has been so extern
sively advertised as has this fair, and
that fact is to be found in the in
quiries pouring into the secretarys
office. These come from the most re-
mote portions of the state-from dis
tricts that are admittedly away from
the direct lines in Grand Forks-and
from which the city will this year
receive big patronage.

pected Of Espionage.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 20
Alexander Kerr, wealthy merchant of
Portland. Ore, and his bride, taking a
honeymoon trip on the Mexican border.
We're arrested by Mexican rurales at Tia
Juana and were locked up for four hours
in the Quartet, suspected of espionage.
The news was brought here yesterday by
Charles Schnabel. president of the Port
land Bar Association, who saw the ar
rest and was instrumental in the release
of the captives.
Mr.. Kerr and his bride had gone to San
Diego after their wedding ten days ago.
At the suggestion of the bride they went
by automobile to Tia Juana and amused
themselves taking snapshots of the place.
They were arrested while Mr.. Kerr was
taking a picture of the cuartel. They
were locked in the cell next to that oc-
cupied by Harry Davis Gilbert Dell, the
American who is now held by the MeXi-
can authorities as a suspected spy.

CHOLERA IN HONOLULU.
Stringent Measures Taken to Prevent
Spread of Disease.

HONOLULU. February e5.-Two cases
OF cholera have been discovered in
Honolulu. The first was that of a
Hawaiian woman, living in a tenement
house. She was taken sick Thursday,
and died twelve hours later. The Sec
ond victim Is the woman's father, liv-
ing in the same house. He is said to
be dying.
The territorial board of health i'm
mediately issued stringent instructions
stopping all fishing for the market in
these waters, and all bathing at the
various beaches. President Mott Smith
of the board of health said he thought
these drastic steps were probably un-
necessary. but that it was decided to
take all precautionary measures. He ex-
pressed the belief that the cases are
sporadic.
Rigid quarantine Of all persons who
came in contact with the two cases
has been established. The husband of
the woman who died Is q stevedore.
