Our MERCHANT Law
UPHELD IN the COURT

In the county CONT at Fargo on Thurs
day. another test was made of the tram
sient or travelling merchant law of North
Dakota and the code was upheld by the
court. The case was the state against
l. r. Foster, who sold apples from a car
at Casselton last week.
Foster as arrested for violation of the
transient merchant law. He had not paid
the license for q transient merchant.
neither did he deem it necessary to pur-
chase a license. He shipped q carload
of apples into Casselton from Iowa and
sold the fruit from the car to the con-
sumers
States Attorney Fowler argued that
his case was the same as if a transient
merchant had gone into Casselton and
rented a storeroom for about two weeks
and then left the city. The selling of
the apples from the car. he deemed as a
te temporary place of business.
E. E. Sharp of Moorhead appeared for
Foster and argued that the law was not
a constitutional one as it Disseminated
against persons. He cited that the
farmer could come in and sell his pro-
duce to the people of Casselton from his
wagon and not be compelled to pay a
transient merchants fee. He stated
that Foster was being Disseminated
against in this case.
However. the court held the law valid
and Foster was fined SIS. it being the
minimum. 1t was shown that he had
not intended to violate the law, which
was the reason for the ~leniency of the
court in the matter.
This same Foster was at one time
arrested in Minnesota on the same kind
of a charge. He retained Sharp as his
attorney and is now fighting the case.
The Minnesota case has been through
the lower courts and is now up before
the supreme court Of Minnesota.
The banks of the states cannot COL
lect sight drafts on liquor shipments.
This is the decision of Judge Amidon
of the federal court which was handed
down Wednesday evening. The decision
is practically the same as was made
last June when the president of the bank
pleaded guilty to the charges against
the bank, says the Forum.

ABoUT GENERAL cUyTER'S
Death At LITTLE Big HORN

The following from the Army and
Navy Journal will be an interesting
piece of history for many old timers in
this community:
In your article on ''Scalps and Scalp
Ing" published April /, you quote
from General Dodee's book as to the Ind
ian superstition of not scalpine a suicide
and then remark editorialiy: The
fact that the body of General Custer
was not scalped and was in no way
mutilated indicates the nature Of his
DEATH" (This was the statement of
General Dodge. as the content shows.
1t should have been included in the
quotation marks. )-Editor.
I believe this is an injustice to the
memory Of General Custer. There is
nothing in his record to indicate that
he was other than q brave, fearless
man, or that he was other than q bold.
courageous and hard fighter. He wal a
man of strong will power and never
heard that he lest his. presence of mind
in battle. Such qualifications are not
usually found in the suicide unless the
powers have been weakened by disease
or narcotics. General Custer was an
absteminous man and was then in the
full enjoyment of vigorous manhood.
While burying the dead on the Little
Big Horn battlefield on the morning of
June 20 Major Reno sent for mel to hello
identify the dead on Clusters HILL"
When I arrived General Custer's body
had been moved from the position
where originally found. Mr.. Fred Girard.
our Rec interpreter, told me that he
was one of the rist to locate and identi-
fly General Custer's body, and when
found was between the bodies of two
soldiers Zone thrown across the other
in a squatting or sitting position, one
elbow or upper arm resting on the up
permost body, his face resting in the
hand. as in a position of meditation.
The bodies were stripped Of all clothing.
There were two wounds on General
Clusters body, one in the left breast
and one in the left temple. the latter
was a fatal wound and l think the
former one was too, but am not 80 sure
about it. l examined the wounds !;
there were no powder marks On the
body.
On the tenth anniversary of the battle
there was a reunion on the battlefield.
Chief Gall, the warrior chief of Sitting
Bulls band. was one of the party. On
our return to the Standing Rock agency.
when l had the most competent inter-
prefers, l asked Gall why General
Custer's body was not scalped and not
mutilated. He replied promptly and
with emphasis: Because my people
recognized him as the big chief and a
brave fighter and they respected his
position" He then explained that the
.m%utilations were done by the women
and young boys. That the women were
exasperated by the loss OF their hus-
bands or some member of their family.

Brigadier General, u. S. A., retired,

The older settlers o.. this locality will
recall the fact that until recently the
Custer trail nine miles south of Dickin-
son could be plainly seen.

CROWDS At BEACH FAIR
the RACES were FINE

The Dickinson special to Beach on
Thursday was we'll patronized. several
hundred taking advantage of the train
to see the Interstate Fair and visit old
friends at the Golden Valley metropolis.
"A good many people also went up on
Wednesday. others going Thursday even
ing and some as late as Friday evening.
They~~all had a good time and their
moneys worth.
Unfortunately the first two days of the
fair were too windy for the airship and
the anxious crowds had to content them
selves with looking at the machine
under canvas. It was thought that a
flight could be made on Friday.
Beach had a fair exhibit of grains and
vegetables, considering the season. and
there was some good live stock on the
grounds. There should have been more
and will be next year. The races were
fine. and Dickinson people were pleased
to see Ed. Berry on the track with sew
eral of his fine troiters. Mr.. Berry took
some of the money and enjoyed the
sports with the rest of the people. There
were the usual street shows for those
who like this kind of entertainment.
The Beach people seem to have man
aged their fair in first-classs shape and
have gotten a great deal Of valuable adj
yertisip9 out of it. The place has a lot
Of hustlers who never do things by
halves. They had a record breaking at
tendance. C. D. Harlow, as manager,

One of the things that attracted Dick
inson people in Beach was the attract
i've and sanitary condition of the j. j.
Barley store. The proprietor is an old
N. P. engineer, living in Dickinson for
many years.
It will also interest PRESS readers to
know that the state food inspection
board the past season gave the J. j.
Barley store in Beach and the P. A.
Moir store in Dickinson a mark of 100
for the ten points on which examina-
tions are made. Some of these points
are appearance of the windows. cleanli-
ness Of floors, back yard appearance,
cellar ventilation. etc. At the time the
report was issued there were no other
stores this side of Fargo coming up to
fine perfect mark.
