This afternoon, in the district court
Of Cass county. Judge Pollock heard
an application to have the stay of the
proceedings in the famous Healey-
Moody case Of Wahpeton set aside. He
acted for Judge Allen, who is away at
this time.
AT the time Of the closing OF the trial
In which Moody contested the right
of Healey to hold the Office of sheriff
Of Richland county, Healey was allow
ed sixty days In which to appeal the
case to the higher courts. This sixty
days has now passed and Moody now
wants the office of the sheriff of Rich
land county turned over to him.
In the last county election Frank
Healey and George Moody of RichIand
were the candidates for sheriff Of Rich
land county. The election was held
and their was some dispute regarding
the results Of the same. Healey was
the old sheriff OF the county and he re-
fused TO give up the Office to Moody.
Then Moody brought action against
him and won the case, which attracted
a great deal of attention. This is
the final roundup of the legal battle
for the office.

made one more effort to reach their

The senate bill, by A. T. Stebbins, was
the one which passed. Instead of a
state license it provides country IL

EManlnn Grain Letter.

Chicago. April 2O-Wheat: Our
market opened strong and continued
to rule so throughout the session.
Northwestern markets were no strong
er than our own, with the new crop
futures tagging, owing to very favor
able progress in seeding operations.
Local cash demand seemed to be ut
terly lacking. The foreign news was
the bull motive today and saved the
situation, as otherwise the perfect
home conditions must have been the
prevailing influence. Should Europe
assume the attitude of a buyer of
our wheat. 1t would put a different as
pect on prospects and prices. At the
moment, however, such a probability
does not seem at hand. Outside Of
this factor and as long as prospects for
the growing crop remain so nattering,
we see no reason to change our opin-
Ion regarding the market.

TRYING TO SAVE
WIFE, BOTH Die
Mr.. AND MRS. JOHN 0. DALzELL,
AsPHYxiATED IN THEIR HOME
IN SPOKANE - Mr.. DALzELL
WELL KNOWN IN GATE CITIES
GENERAL AGENT OF THE N. p.

st. Paul Dispatch: In a vain at
tempt to save the life of his wife, who
had become overcome by gas in her
bathroom. John o. Dalzell general
agent Of the Northern Pacific railroad
in Spokane, and until two months ago
assistant land commissioner OF the
road, with headquarters in St Paul,
lost his own life Tuesday.
According to telegram received in
St Paul, the bodies Of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Dalzell were found just outside
of the bathroom when a son, aided by
neighbors, forced an entrance into the
house yesterday morning.
The dispatches received at the North
ern Pacific general offices are meagre.
They say, however, that Mr.. Dalzell
rushed to the door and broke 1t down,
but ne was forced back by the fumes
Of gas which were escaping from a
heating stove.
Both Are Asphyxiated.
He made a second attempt and, pick
Ing up his wife, tried to hurry from
the room. At the door he fell and both
lay there all night. A young daughter
in the house was affected by the gas
and could not help them. It was
through her that the details were
learned.
Son Cannot Gain Entrance.
A son. IL years old. left st. Paul a
few days ago to go to his parents
home. When he arrived there yes
terday he was unable to arouse any
body and he called the neighbors to
help him. Mr.. and Mrs. Dalzell evil
IDENTIFY had been dead several hours
when their bodies were found.
Mr. Dazell was one of the best
known and best liked OF the Northern
Pacific general officers. Starting in
the traffic department many years ago,
he worked himself UP, becoming agent
at Moorhead, travelling freight agent,
general agent at Duluth and assistant
general freight agent in the st. Paul
offices.
Detailed to Spokane.
A. year ago he left the traffic depart
ment to become assistant land commits
sioner, but the traffic department re-
called him two months ago and he left
st. Paul to become the general agent
at Spokane.
In st. Paul his home was at 571
Grand avenue. He was a brother-in-
law Of John w. Owens, general agent
Of the Adams Express Co.
Mr.. Blazell was AZ years old and his
wife about five years younger. They
are survived by two children.
F7NT-
once agent at Moorhead is an error. He
was agent at Billings and Miles City,
Mont, and was well known in Fargo
and Moorhead, but never was agent at
the latter place.

RroomhalI's Report.

Liverpool. April 2O.--The weaker
American cables yesterday were Offset
here by active covering by shorts and
values at the opening were ss to v
higher and during the morning the
market was highly excited with a
further advance of g to q, with the
principal strength in May ana July.
Buying was pronounced by the firm
ness in spot, for which there was a
better demand, and the frmness of
cargoes in all positions. The closing
strength in Buenos Ayres was the
leading feature and this, together with
rm plate offers and a Tightening up
of Australian offerings caused free
covering and induced outside specu-
lative support. The Prusslan official
report was very bullish and this con-
tributed largely to the advance. At
1880 p. m. the market was strong and
bare of offers, with values / to III
higher than yesterday.
After opening Y. corn further adj

The general opinion among conser-
vative traders is to the effect that
there will be no corn surplus available

a failure.-Broomhall.

Measles is more prevalent than either
of these diseases, but heretofore the
only places at which cases of it could

Mrs. Miller was in the act of house,
