but Wahpeton won out on the ballot.
N. III. Rinde Of Walsh county. b. @.

In this discussion, the lettering Of

FAIL TO BAR
! The TRANSMITS
COUNCILS ACT AGAINST PERI
pATETlc MERCHANTS HELD
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 2.--The at
tempt OF the city council to bar tran
silent merchants from reaping the an
nual fall harvest was dealt knock
out blow by Justice J. G. Juergens
when the regulation provided by the
council at a meeting Monday was held
unconstitutional.
Taking advantage of a state Law
which provides that cities can fix the
license to be charged transient merch-
ants, the council approved the maxi
mum amount allowed, s25 a day. How
ever, the state law provides that the
local lawmaking body shall fix the
amount of bond to be furnished by the
so-called transient If he desires to
show his good faith and establish a
business residence In the city. The
council failed to make this provision
for bonds.
Less than twenty -four hours after
the action of the council B. M. Bera-
shank. an apple vender, was arrested.
The boxcar merchant employed at
torneys, deciding to test the new law,
which he declared was aimed at him.
Justice Juergens held with the attor-
neys for the defendant, and Devils
Lake residents are able to buy apples
from the transient at a less figure
than is charged by merchants. 1t is
probable a special meeting of the city
council win be called to remedy the
mistake.

PREACHER DEMANDS
RACE MONEY
REV. Mr.. HEWsoN or EDcELEY
DEMANDS SHARE or MONEY
WON BY FAST HORSE.

Edgsiey. NJ D.. sept IA case
which was decidedly unusual
was before the county court recently
on a motion for change Of venue to
williams county. Judge wickersham
granted the motion, so the trial Of the
case win be heard at Williston.
The title Of the case Is a. M. Hew-
son VS., G. III. Mckay. The plaintiff
in the action Is REV. Mr.. Hewson Of
Edgeley, and the defendant Is a horse
trainer and racing man residing at
Williston. In the extreme northwestern
part Of the state. It appears that early
last spring. Rev. Mr.. Hewson purchas-
ed a fast horse from Mckay, but not
wishing to bring 1t to Edgeley, left 1t
with the previous owner,
The horse was entered In number
Of races, and being speedy animal
carried Off a number of cash prizes,
winning In all about 5000 in cash.
Rev. Mr.. Hewson claiming that the
horse was his property, demanded q
share Of the winnings. but was refused
by Mckay. Being unable TO secure the
cash by moral persuasion, suit was
entered and 500. or half Of the
amount was asked OF the court.
Mckay, the defendant, claimed that
the deal for the purchase Of the fast
racer was never completed, that the
animal had never left his possession.
and that he had had all the care,
trouble and work OF training and rae
ing the horse. and that under the
agreement with the minister the latter
was not entitled to cent Of the prize
money.
NO evidence was heard In the coun-
ty court before Judge Wickersham as
to the merits Of the case, hearing
OF a motion for a change Of venue to
williams county being all that the
Dickey county Judge was called upon
to decide. The motion was granted
and the case will probably be heard
at the next term Of the district court
in that jurisdiction.
Attorneys Murfin g. Doane OF Ed
ge1ey, represent the plaintiff, Mr..
Doane appearing at the hearing, and
States's Attorney Jones of LaMoure,
represented Attorney A. ]. Bessies Of
Williston. who is attorney for the de-
PENDANT. Mckay.

HANNA and ABBOTT

STOPPED OFF ON WAY EAST
FROM BERTHoLD IN
DIAN FAIR.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 22.--Cong i.
B. Hanna reached Bismarck mlis
morning. He was accompanied by AS
sistant Agent E. Fl. Abbott from
Washington. The distinguished gem
tlemen are returning from Elbowoods
where they have been attending the
BerthoId Indian fair. ~.
Congressman Hanna is interested In
the development of North Dakota and
was instrumental in having the Fort
Berthold Indian reservation thrown
open to settlement 1t Is his further
desire that a good class Of home
steaders come TO North Dakota to
make their homes. The speculative
homesteader who comes only to prove
up his claim, secure loan on 1t and
then drift away is not desirable set
tier in the strict meaning OF the term.
1t Is the man who comes TO make a
home for himself and family who is
desired. The cheap lands of the state
offer inducements to the farmers Of
the older states to come here and se-
cure farms for his children. 1t is
impossible to do this In states where
farm lands sell for from SIS to $3.50
an acre.
Congressman Hanna Is interested in
all projects which tend to elevate
farming and make it more profitable,
While in the city he will look over
the exposition building and lend the
enterprise to open next Tuesday his
heavy support. And incidentally the
gentleman Is meeting his political
friends discuss the situation along

a few miles east of Olmstead, yeggmen
yesterday blew the postonice safe,

According to parties living over the
store a report OF the explosion was
heard about 4 o'clock In the morning,
1t happened that 500 freight was
switching in the yards there at the
time and nothing was thought OF 1t,
the noise being attributed to the bang
ing of the cars.
So far as could be found out at Gallo
nothing was taken from the store, the
$40 In cash In the postofflce safe be-

FARMERS DEFRAUDEp-

Last year a Arm working under

In defrauding the farmers out of

THE agent Of the company
agreed 10 furnish the farmer with
a cabinet containing medicines
for this stock, some Of which were
also suitable for use in the family,
and to supply the necessary medi-
cinal advice for the treatment OF
animals during the period Of one
year.
sour examination of the con-
tents OF one OF these cabinets
showed the product to be Of very
little value; in fact the cabinet as
examined, was found to contain
less than SIS worth Of material,
bottles, cabinet and all; and yet
1t is said the farmers were induced
to sign receipt for these products
ranging from $50 to 800 or more,
which later proves to be a note or
contract for this worthless mass
Of material.

Fine Sample of the Double Jointed

Quillan Of ST. Anthony brought into
The Pioneer office this week some fine
samples Of peanuts which were grown

Mr.. and Mrs. McQuillan says they

cites, one of which was grown from
seed secured from an eastern seed
house and the others, which are by far
the larger kind. were grown from pea
nuts bought of q local dealer for roast
ing.
The boy paid no especial attention
to the beds, and the peanuts growing
in ordinary garden soil to the size
and number they have, proves that
Morton county climate and soil is as
good for growing peanuts as any

OUTLAWS will put in larger bed and
