Interests
NV Annotated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Many in
tricate questions of interstate, and
interstate commerce promise to per-
plex the supreme court of the United
States during the first month >of Its
approaching session. More than 20
cases involving such problems have
been advanced by the court for hear
ing as soon after the opening of the
term as possible, and decisions are
awaited with concern among the
transportation interests. Two exceed
ingly hard fought orders OF the IN
!, terstate commerce commission Will
come up for review, probably within
the first two weeks of the term. The
first of these involves the so.called
"grain elevator cases." The decision
from the supreme court is expected on
the much disputed question as to
whether the interstate commerce COM
mission possesses power to prohibit
railroads from paying to operators OF
elevators all compensation for "efe'
waiting grain in transit" The commits
sion issued orders embracing such pro-
hibition. The second order OF the
commission to be questioned will be
that providing for a reduction Of the
rates on lumber from the northwest
ern states to the cities in the Mis-
sissippi valley and east. to what they
were before November 1, 1907.
The question of the validity of the
two cent passenger law in Minnesota
will ge fought out shortly after court
convenes.

Cockburn of the local United States
land office, the claim of the con est
ant in the case of Margaret Demaris
against Anna Johnson, involving 'and
near Rolla, was dismissed and the de:
fendant declared the rightful owner
of the land in question.
The case was one of the keenest
fought of recent date. The land in
question is described at tn NEA Of
section 35-163.7O. The claim was filed
on October 21, 1909, by Anna Johnson.
The contestant, an Indian woman
based her claim on the belief that II
or Is years ago she, with her husband
had lived on it in tent. The evidence
failed to show that the Demarais wom-
an had in reality resided on the land
in question. There was a controversy
over this fact, the receiver holding
with the defendant that it had not
been established.
In the case Special Indian Agent
Armstrong represented the Indian

BEING Held on Murder CHARGE.

Roy Bancroft, who had been con
fined in the Burleigh county Jail fol
safe keeping, has been taken to Dick
inson to answer charge of rape in
district court there. Bancroft gained
good deal of notoriety from his
name being associated with the find
ing of the body Of an unknown man
on the railway track near Dickinson
a year ago.
It was a matter of confusion OF
names. Bancroft was indicted on a
charge of rape and being regarded
as a bad character it was thought ad.
visable to bring him to Bismarck and
lodge him in Jail here until his iear.
ing was reached in district court.
The court is now in session and the
sheriff came down from Dickinson and
took the man away. The Dickinson
Jail is not of such a character that it
would resist a desperate man. The
confusion of names in connection
with the murder charge is not ex.
planned. On the body of tie dead
man were found papers bearing the
name of Cranf1eld. An investigation
disclosed that Garfield was alive in
Canada and an effort is being made
to connect him with the death, al
though no motive could be found.
name got mixed up with
that of Bancroft and the newspapers
we're full of murder stories.. All the
time Bancroft was under the watchful
EYE of Sheriff Earnes in the Bismarck
Jail, and while here he proved a model
prisoner although he had bad repu-
tation where he is known. Sheriff
Barnes took no chances with him,
and turned him over to the
,her.f of Barnes county without any

With the Jail Sheriff Barnes says since
