INTERNAL STRIFE CAUSES CITY
DADS OF ROCK LAKE TO RE-
SIGN IN A BODY.

Rock Lake, N. D., Sept. s.-The
Rock Lake village board, after their
ordinary business session, resigned in
body. 1t seems that one member Of
the board, in defending the action Of
the board in relation to matter that
took place on Sunday evening last, was
subjected to some amount of vitupera
ton on the part of one Of the resi-
dents. Hot words were banded about
by both the men, and, as result, the
boards resigned in body, presumably
because Of the structures.
The circumstances of the occurrence
on Sunday are as follows: About
half dozen men proceeded to place
on what is known as Silby street for
the purpose of slaughtering calf. The
spot was not only directly in front,
but adjacent to dwelling houses. Here,
upon the public street, tn calf was
shot, it's throat cut, and the animal
dressed. The act caused great deal
of comment, at least among the resi-
dents near the spot. The principal Of
fender was brought before the local
justice Monday, and fined for breaking
the law. Because of what was said in
relation to the above the board resign
ed, even though the majority of the vii.
layers are at the back of the board.

CASE OF REV. AND MRS. PITT
MAN OF STARKWEATHER BE-
FORE JUDGE COWAN.

The matter involving the custody of
the Houff child, which caused consid-
cradle excitement here several weeks
ago, came up today in district court
before Judge Cowan, many witnesses
from Starkweather arriving on the
scene to take part in the action, which
bids fair to continue before Judge
Cowan for couple Of days.
The history of the case which caused
excitement at Starkweather dates back
to the time when Willard Houff left his
daughter, Ednas Houtf, with Rev. and
Mrs. Pitman at Starkweather, they
having taken fancy to the child.
On affidavit Of the father several
weeks ago, who is now in Virginia,
the mother went to Starkwcather and
took the child, intending to take it to
intend to live, having become recon
ciled after few years separation.
The Pitmans, who have become at
tached to the child, objected strenu
ously to having it taken from them
and the action in district court today
involves the custody of the little girl,
which the mother is anxious to take
back to Virginia.
The father, due to sickness, is unable
to be present at the trial and has sent
a deposition in which he gives all the
facts in the case and in which he says
that he wants the child, is able to care
for it, and at no time did he intend to
abandon it. The father further states
that the argument will be brought
forth by the Pitmans to the effect that
he is not fit person to take the child,
but he says that he has hardly tasted
liquor for years and knows that he
can properly provide for his wife and
| child.
The Pitmans, in the event that the
case is decided in their favor, will
! probably start adoption proceedings
Much interest attaches to the case and
many witnesses are here from Stark

1 litions. Attorney Fred Cuthbert rep

appointed for the child.

! DR.. w. G. Fawcett was on the stand

MEMBERS OF NTH DAKOTA r. R.
COMMISSION TO HEAR ARGU-
MENTS ON FREIGHT RATES.

Fargo, N. D., Sept S.-This morning
the North Dakota railway commission
opened the rate hearing at the Com
mercial club rooms in Fargo. This hear
ing is for the purpose Of determining
the freight rate to be charged on
farm machinery returned to the fac
tories where it was made, for repairs
or for other purposes.
Up to some months ago a reduced
rate was in force on all railways op-
Grating in North Dakota arbitrarily
railway commission is petitioned by
the farmers and manufacturers to en-
force the reduced charge. The hearing
at Fargo is to give all concerned an
opportunity to make their showing. The
commission has much data on the sub
ject gathered by Mr.. Little, which will
be introduced. The railway commits
sioners Of all adjoining states were met
with the same problems and in each in
stance the reduced rate was restored.
The railways will be represented by
their attorneys, the shippers by their
agents, and the farmers will have their
say through selected spokesman.
The matter IS one OF the most lmpOr-
tant coming before the commission in a
long time and the outcome is awaited
with interest.
The matter was aiken before the in
terstate commerce commission by the
shippers Of the northwest at the time
the full rate was put in operation, but
owing to the fact that all of the
states but North Dakota have already
acted through their railway commits.
sions the national body rendered nc
decision. The hearing may last a cou.
pie Of days.
