KILL TAME GEESE
Dozen Geese Belonging to Farmer
Flew Away From Home in Storm
and Eleven Were Killed by Fox
holm Citizens Who Thought They
Were Wild

The good citizens of Foxholm
dined on tame geese last Sunday,
thinking they had bagged number
of Canadian geese on their way to
the Southland. A dozen fine large
fat geese flew into Foxholm Saturday
noon and alighted in the street and
on the sidewalks. Soon there was
az much excitement In tho little city
as tho a bunch Of bank robbers had
come to town Every old musKer
that could be pressed into service
was brot into use. There was can
nonading galore. Billie Haw]ey, the
druggist, who prides himself upon his
excellent craftsmanship, bagged
three Of them. Several others got
one apiece. The geese we're soon
I'll killed and then there was a mer-
ry time preparing them for the Sun
day dinners. Everybody ate goose
in F'oxholm that day. After the
hunters bold had gotten together that
evening and snapped yarns as to how
they managed to bag the geese they
were somewhat surprised to learn
that they had killed q lot Of tame
geese belonging to farmer two
miles north Of Fo1hoaD. Tie gooo1
had flown away during terrific
storm and the owner missing them
had telephoned to his neighbors. Tho
hunters will, no doubt, nquidate. II

Supreme Court for the Third Time
Decides That Lee Was Not Respon-
sibie for Minot Painters Accident.

Word was received in Minot today
that the supreme court has rendered
i. decision in the case OF James Nor
icon VS.. p. p. Lee, in which the
plaintiff was suing for $4,000 dam
ages, in favor Of the defendant.
This is the third time that the case
has gone to the supreme court, and
each time Mr.. Lee won in that court.
The case dates away back to
1903 when James Morrison, Minot
painter, was severely burned In a
building owned by P. P. Lee, at that
time, a prominent merchant Of this
city. Morrison had gone into his
little paint shop in the morning and
started a fire with kindling. He had
poured kerosene on the kindling,
then touched a match and q good
fire soon started. Later he opened
tht door Of the stove and poured on
more kerosene. The flames from the
fire followed the stream Of kerosene
into to can and the bottom of the
can was blown out. Morrison was
soon a living torch. He tried to get
out of the building, but the door had
been fastened with spring lock and
he could not do so. He was found
a few moments later by parties who
had broken the door in and he was
carried out and rolled in the snow, IN
which manner the flames were ex-
tinguished. Morrison was very SER
iously burned, his right hand and arm
being drawn out Of shape after he
recovered.
He brot suit in district court for
$4,000 and secured judgment for $4,-
900. Morrison abandoned his first
intention of holding Lee liable be-
cause Of the manner in which the
lock was placed on the door, because

Sought the kerosene from Lee and
it was shown that there was a mix
Re of kerosene and gasoline Lee
did not deny this, but claimed that
it was not his fault that Morrison
was careless enough to throw the
mixture on a blazing fire The case
was carried to the supreme court,
which body decided that Lee was not
responsible.
Morrison brot suit in district court
second time, this time asking for
$4,000 damages. He secured YER
dict for $4,000. The case again went
to the supreme court and Lee won
out
A third action was started against
Lee, this time Morrison asking dam
ages to the extent Of $4,000. The
third action was started under the
statutory liability act, but the ST.
preme court decided that this did not
change the previous actions.
In the last trial, the attorneys
stipulated the facts and agreed that
they should demur to the action OF
the defendant. The court sustained
the demurrer.
This case has attracted wide at
tention, not only in North Dakota,
but in other states as we'll.
Mr.. Lee was represented in all Of
his trials by James johnson Of this
city, while the attorneys for Morrison
were Arthur LeSueur, Of Minot, Tracy
Bangs Of Grand Forks and others.
Before the first action was started,
Lee offered to settle with Morrison
for $1,000 mot because he considered
that he was to blame, but because
Mr.. Morrison had been III a long
time, and because he desired to be
Of some assistance to him.

CORN GROWING
CONTEST WON
BY WILLIE LARSON
sixty-eight Exhibits Viewed by Prot.
Palmer Of the Agricultural College
Fathers Save Most Of The Corn for

Prof. w. C.. Palmer of the Agri-
cultural college was in Minot, judging
the corn exhibits, sent to the county
superintendent Office by the boys OF
the county, in the corn growing con-
test, inaugurated by the state depart
ment Of agriculture. There were
Just IS exhibits, consisting OF ten
ears each, sent in
Willie Larson, a lad from Norway
school district No. 4, east Of Minot,
secured the first prize Cut Of the lot,
and he will get free trip to the
Fargo corn show in January, all ex-
penses paid.
VIM. Nelson, from the same dis
tr.ct, secured the second prize. while
Floyd Francis of Logan stood third.
The last two will receive Good prizes,
% be determined later.
These exhibits will be sent to Far
go for the corn show.
Out OF the entire lot, twenty Of he
lest ears were selected to send to
he Zig land show in Chicago. The
boys raising this corn are:
Roy Sundvan, Min0t,3 ears
Harry Smith, Mnot, ears.
Floyd Francis, Logan, ears.
Bonnie Brand, Logan, ears.
Clarence Beck, Glenburn, / ear.
Bert Waldref, Logan, 3 ears.
Lester Daniels, Sawyer, l ear.
The boys did very creditably for
the first years experience. The lad
who drew the first prize, sod the corn
TO his father for seed fer $40, and he
considers that he got cheap seed at
that.
Some Of the boys used excellent
! Judgment in selecting the ears for
| the exhibit. One of them, however,
would have drawn first prize had he
been a trife more carefr. He had
nine perfectly mature ears, but one
of them was very poor. Some Of the
exhibits were not selected with the
care of having II the ears Of the same
length. This precluded the chances
of many Of the boys winning.
There were eight thousand boys
| throughout the state growing corn
this year The agricultural college
sent enough corn in the spring to
each county superintendent to fur
ish each contestant with 100 kerr
neIs, enough to grow about two bush
els of corn. This was all carefully
selected seed, of the Mercer variety.
Last year five thousand boys parti-
! cipated in this contest. Next year
there ought to be ten thousand con-
testants. This is wonderful move
ment and doing a great deal Of good.

WHYPATR0N|zE
THE b0XCAR
MERCHANT?
Several of Them Have Doing Buzz
ness In Minot Taking Good Hard
Earned Cash Out Of the Country.

Just Why any good citizen should
patronize the box car merchant is
more than we can understand. There
nave been several of them doing bus
ness in Minot this fall and one OF
hem has a car load of infeI " ap-
ples on the track at the present mo-
ment.
The box car merchant will sell you
apples that would make YOU 60 after
YOUR own grocer with club if he
would sell you the same kind for the
same price.
The box car merchant must have
the cash for his goods. He doesn't
give you ninety days and longer.
Many who owe their home grocers,
patronize the box car merchant IN
preference to leaving the money with
the home dealer.
The box car merchant pays no tax
IS. He hires no clerks. He's here
today and away tomorrow with
money that you never see again. You
can kiss your money goodbye forever
when you hand it over to the box car
merchant,
If you buy bushel of apples from
the box car merchant you must pay
for having them delivered. Your
home merchant delivers them with
out extra charge and if you don't
happen to like the variety you get,
he exchanges them for you.
The box car merchant buys up culls
and wormy apples and wind falls IN
the east for % cents a bushel and
sells them to you for 81. So b2shel
and makes you like them. OF course
he makes money.
The box car merchant cannot sell
a carload Of apples to your grocer
because they are not good enough.
One local grocer inspected a car this
week and turned it down.
Treat your local dealer fair. Leave
YOUR money with him. You'll get IL
back some day with interest.
Our city fathers might frame up an
ordinance so that the city can get
some revenue from the box car mer-
chants. The men who pay the taxes
need some sort of protection.
