AN ANCIENT FLOWER OR AMI
NAL

Some time ago circular piece
of stone, about the size Of dinner
plate, containing a prefect imprint of
an ancient specimen of what might
be either plant or, animal. was brot
to the Alert Office. It has beer, seen
by many visitors and nearly everyone
has different explanation or guess
concerning it. Prof. Thomas of
jamestown College, is of the opinion
that the specimen is what is known
as lead coral or Sunaower coral,
found in the Ordovician and Silurian
periods of the Paleozoic era. This
era is the third from the Oldest
of the geological strata, which COM
pose the crust of the earth and within
that period exists what is known
as the Denovian era or the
age of Fishes. The speci-
men is therefore seen to be of very
ancient origin. Its geological his
tory is unusually interesting as 1T
was found upheaved on the surface
of the North Dakota prairies, and
broken from it's bed by plow point.

DEFECTIVE IN ITS TITLE

Another state law is held to be un-
constitutional becauses the title of
the law does not strictly conform
with the subject matter that follows.
Attorney General Miller has rem
dered an opinion to State Auditor
Brightbill that Chapter It's of the
laws of 1911 is unconstitutional and
void. This provided for the pay
ment of expenses of judges and was
originally intended to pay for such
expenses when called to act outside
their own district. The law turned
out to read that the expenses should
be paid when a Judge performs a
duty outside of his own county,
which the legislature evidently did
not intend. The state constitution
requires that no bills shall embrace
more than one subject which shall
be expressed in its title, but a bill
which violates this provision shall
be invalid thereby only as to so much
thereof as shall not be SO expressed.

ASYLUM INJUNCTION. CASE
Reason for Withholding Armory
Warrant of $4,000

Bismarck, Sept. 22.-Attorney
General Miller and Assistant Young
will 60 to jamestown, Monday, to
appear in the Injunction suit grow
ing out of the award of some coal
contracts by the old trustees of the
state hospital for the insane. The
state board of control is made par
ty defendant and as the legal ad-
visor of the state the attorney gener-
al is drawn into the suit. The
ground upon which the injunction
is asked is that the board of hospital
trustees had gone out of existence
when the ,eoal contract was signed
up by tb/ steward of the benevolent
institution.
The State Armory Warrant
Contractors who are building the
jamestown armory are still up in the
air as Deputy State Auditor Jorgen-
son refuses to issue warrant for
the state loan of $4,000. Mr.. Jor-
genson justifies his action on the
ground that the statute providing
for a state loan to encourage the
erection of armories did not contem-
plate an outlay of more than $10,-
900 and the state was to have a first
mortgage for its loan of $4,000.
There is already first mortgage
of $4,000 on the property and the
state has no protection against me-
chanics' leins, which might make the
membranes much more. Mr.. Jor-
genson declines to take the RESPONSE
bility of issuing the warrant and
will await the return of Auditor
Brightbill and permit the chief to
take such action as he sees fit.

Bessemer, February S-(Special.)-A message was received at police head quarters this morning that two of the negroes who broke jail at Tuscaloosa last night were headed for Bessemer on freight train. Detectives Childress and McCabe were detailed on the case. The northbound freight train pulled into the Alabama Great Southern depot about 1 o'clock and the detectives made a search for the negroes, as it was supposed they were on the train. On opening the car nearest the engine two negroes Jumped out and sped down the track like the wind. Detective Childress, who is some what of a Marathon runner himself, ,egave chase He hung on to the trail of the fleeing negroes like bloodhound and simply ran them down. The officer placed them both under arrest and lodged them in the city jail The chase was a long one as the negroes ran to Thompsontown before being captured. They gave their names as Jib McCarter and Cleveland Anderson. The authorities at Tuscaloosa have been notified
