Bitten Boys, Saves Master
From Heavy Damages.

New York.-In spite Of his merrily
wagging tail and his broad grin, Bang
got a pretty bad name. Eleven-year-
old Sophie Kann told Judge O'Dwyer
In the city court that Bang had bitten
her over one eye. Willie Silverstein
fifteen years old, a student in the city
college, exhibited a torn ear as an
other result TO Bangs viciouness.

as star witness for himself in Sophie's
fathers suit for $4,000 damages
against Hiram D. Phelps, 166 Thirty
sixth street and Willis venue. Bangs
owner. On taking the stand Bang
looked pleasantly about the court
room and genially remarked Wool"
Turning to the Judge he announced
"Garoof gur-r. Then Bang made the
round of the Jurors, graciously letting
each one scratch his head.
But tiny Sophie gave him a char
acter far different from that he gave
himself. She showed her torn fore.
head and told how Bang had done it.
She and other children were playing
in front of Phelps office. she said, and
went close to his auto. Bang leaped
from the machine and bit her. Willie
Silverstein said that two weeks be.
fore Sophie's accident Bang had bitten
him under similar circumstances.
Louis Steckler, counsel for Phelps
pleaded to the jury that the dog be
allowed one bite. "And all the EVIL
dence shows only one nip was taken"
he added. After remaining out two
hours the Jurors were unable to
agree and Judge O'Dwyer instructed
them to bring In a sealed verdict.

A new WAY TO BOOST
NORTH DAKOTA

The man on the ground is North Dako-
ta's best immigration agent, according to
=. c. Leedy. And Leedy ought to know,
because he is the General immigration
Agent of the Great Northern Railway,
with headquarters at st. Paul, Minnesota.
Last spring, during the immigration
period, President l.. w. Hill instructed
that a check be made of each train enter
ing North Dakota and information Sc
cured as to how the newcomer happened
to go to North Dakota to live. Seventy
five per cent responded that it was
through the influence of friends already
on the ground and prospecting that the
move was made.

the first hearing Of the North Dakota
coal-rate cases, revived. The hearing
will take place in st. Paul before Mas

be found ~confiscatory, then the roads
have a right to ask for a reopening.
and such step now brings the matter
up again, the 500 being the first to
make such application.

Old Landmark Torn Down.

Knox.-A crew of men commenced
to take down the old part of st. An.
thony & Dakota elevator. This part
was built in 1887 and was the first ele-
vator built in Knox and among the
first west of Devils Lake. 1t was not a
very modern house at first and re-
quired a lot of hard work in handling
the grain, which came in fast some
times, as there was grain hauled in
here from the foot hills of the Turtle
mountains, as much as forty-five miles
away. Many OF the Island lake and
Grass lake people and others will re-
member the cold drives they had in
the winter when hauling grain to this
elevator. J. r. Collier of Devils Lake
was the first agent. So.

Pittsburg, Pa.-For assaulting q po-
liceman, breaking his mace, crushing
his helmet over his ears, tearing his
clothes and making him the laughing
stock of the community, Billy Clark
was killed. Everyone in Woods Run
or at least around Harland avenue

a goat owned by Patrick Clark Of SO
Sarah street, and the Clark children
had him broken to harness.
At 9 o'clock the other night the goat
broke out of its shed and went to Har.
land avenue, where it drove many
young coasters up telegraph poles, etc.
Officer Michael Redman was told that
BILL Clark was on another tear" and
he hurried to the scene. Bill was
holding Harland avenue.

Redman expected it and the officer
sped for some distance along the Icy
pavement on the peak Of his helmet
and his stomach. As the policeman
sat up and looked around the goat
made another charge. Redman struck
the animal over the head with his
mace. The mace was shattered and a
piece Of 1t flying through the air broke
a window, but 1t did not stop Bill.
The policeman then seized the goat
by the horns. For the next three min:

cheered. Finally Redman drew his re-.

sAPTIsTs PROSPEROUS.
Conference At Grafton Shows Church
Extending.

Grafton.-More progressive and per-
manent work has been done by the
Baptist denomination in North Da-
kota during the last twelve months
period than in any previous year. Re-
port of that fact was made to the state
conference in this city by G. E. He
mans, general missionary, who in trac-
ing the years activities, showed
wherein forward steps of a decidedly
encouraging nature had been taken.
One of the greatest evils in the
mission church field was found in
short p~astorates, the general mission
airy %contending that satisfactory re-
suits ear be obtained only through
retaining good, wide awake, evange-
listic pastors at the head of mission
churches, and that they would then
soon become self-supporting.
That the Baptist pastors in North
Dakota should never be paid less than
$1,000 a ear was another of his rec
concentrations. He believes that this
was only due the pastors in view of
the higher costs of living, everywhere
prevalent.
Other Reports Made.
In addition to this report there was
also presented the reports of Scandi-
navian missions by Rev. Ole Larson of
Fargo, the state treasurer by F. E.
Starkweather of Grand Forks and the
state colporteur by Rev. c. G. Heiden-
burg.
There was a general discussion of
pastoral work by several Of the more
prominent Baptist ministers of the
state. These included Rev. w. H.
Rogers of Glendale, Rev. A. H. Nick
alous of Max, Rev. Ole Larson of
Fargo, Rev. Walter Ingram of Grafton
and Rev. C. G. Heidenburg.
Cause of Crime was the subject of
an address by Rev. Geo. Newcomb of

kota.
