DIETRICH GETS
Light SENTENCE
THE MAN WHO SENT LETTER
THROUGH MAILS, WHICH WAS
OF A BAD CHARACTER, REcElv-
ED A LIGHT SENTENCE IN U.
S. COURT.

August Dietrich appeared before
Judge Amidon this morning in the
u. S. court and pleaded guilty to us
ing the u. S. mails for sending OBJ
scene communications to a young
lady. Judge Amidon fined him $40
which he paid.
Dietrich wrote letter to a young
lady In Fargo in which he said some
things that were not all together pro-
per. He arranged to meet the lady in
the lobby of the federal building.
When Dietrich and the young lady
met, the father of the girl and two
officers stood nearby behind a door
One of the officers, a postoffice in
spector. made sure that Dietrich was
the man wanted and pointed him out
to the other officer, who made the ar
rest. The girl understood the plans
of the meeting and led Dietrich to
commit himself within the hearing of
the officers.
In the court this morning Dietrich
stated that he was a German and had
never gone to the American schools,
which he gave as an excuse for his
not being familiar with the laws Of
the United States, regarding the send
ing of obscene letters through the
mails. He spoke in broken tongue,
and was a young man, not yet having
reached his 22nd birthday.

FORMER OFFICER
OF LAW IN COURT
MAN WHO WAS FORMERLY A Po-
LIcEMAN AND JUSTICE OF THE
PEACE APPEARS IN COURT AND
PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE
OF BLIND PIGGlNc.

Making a most eloquent plea and
putting up his own defense, E. N. Ag-
new Of Belheld, N. D., appeared be-
fore Judge Amidon this morning in
the u. S. court and pleaded guilty
to the charge Of selling liquor without
a license. In view of the fact that
he had already served over eight
months in the Jail for the same Of
Tense, having pleaded guilty in the
courts of the state, he was given a
light sentence, a fine of $40 being inn
posed.
Agnew stated to the court that he
was quite familiar with the law and
that he was guilty of the offense COM
mitted. At one time he was a police
man in the city Of Chicago and later
he was a justice of the peace.
The prisoner before the court plead
ed his case almost as we'll as any bar
rister might have done for him. He
told Of his home surroundings and of
the conditions under which he sold
the one bottle of liquor.
According to his story he purchased
several bottles of liquor to take to his
home at Belfield where there was an
epidemic of typhoid fever. He went
over to Montana to buy the booze and
stopped in Dickinson one day on re-
turning. While at Dickinson a man
asked him for a drink and was accom-
modated. The stranger stated that he
wanted to be a good fellow and paid
for the drink.
Later in the day. Officer Gordon of
the Dickinson police force arrested Ag-
new. Gordon and Agnew were good
friends and only few days before
Gordon had identified Agnew at a Dick
inson bank, that he might get a check
cashed
At Belfeld, Agnew bad lived a very
straight life and had never sold any
liquor, according to the investigation
that had been made by the inspectors.
Agnew seems to be man of exem-
plary character, having a son in the
high school and another boy in one Of
the leading universities Of the north
west.

INSPECTION FOR
QUACK GRASS
PROF. n. L. 5oLLEY SENDS OUT
CIRCULAR LETTER IN WHICH
he GIVES INFORMATION RE-
GARplNo THE INSPECTIONS OF
BRONZE GRASS FIELDS.

Prof. H. L. Bolley has sent out the
following circular letter:
In talking with a number of seed
men and seed dealers, 1 have learned
that all are much interested in wheth-
er they will be able to procure Bronze
grass seed free from quack grass
seed for next years sales.
/ have thought that it would be
possible to inspect bronze grass fields
as the grass is growing and learn of
a number of areas suitable to cut for
seed. If you know Of farmers in your
neighborhood who have bronze grass
fields likely to be suitable for seed
purposes, will send man or come
myself to inspect them to ascer-
tain whether they do or do not con-
tain quack grass. Our funds are linn
tied and / have thought that should
we be able to send a man, you would
be glad to furnish the livery or auto
to look over the fields.
Should we succeed in locating
bronze grass fields which appear to be
free from quack grass, we would ad-
wise the owner to save a portion or all
Of it for seed purposes. You would
then be given a list of such fields and
would have first opportunity to con-
tract for seed from those fields. In
order to get the owner to save them
for seed purposes, we would promise
to examine the seed which he sends
us in the fall and Crowded he had
not already succeeded in selling his
seed in the local market) will send his
name and address to all parties who
wish to buy good bronze grass seed.
If we do this inspection work, 1t
should be done during the month of
June while the grass is heading. If
you would like to have us visit the
fields in your neighborhood, write me
by early mail, including a list of
growers to be visited, etc. l think
much good could come from such in
spection workable to the neighbor-
hood. the farmers and the local seed
dealers.
We would also be able to aid the
farmers interested in recognizing
many other troublesome weeds and
plant diseases, including fax sick and
wheat sick soils. Address

Gethsemane cathedral, delivered a
splendid annual sermon to the gradu-
ating class of the Fargo high school
last night, and the edifice was well
filled to hear the fine address.
Winning Your Place, was the deans
text and was found in Ecclesiastes
9:1O, Whatever Thy Right Findeth to
Do, Do So With Thy Might. It was
a most powerful effort and those hear
ing the great sermon declared it to be
one of the best Dean Bowling has
delivered during his residence in Fargo.
1t was exceedingly helpful to the
young man and woman just starting
out on their respective careers. some
to higher institutions of learning and
others taking up the positions life has
found for them. Much emphasis was
laid on the particular place of various
people in the world and the thing
for which each man is best fitted.
Preparation for service was a sub
ject which came within the range of
his discourse, and each listener was
Dean Bowling disclosed in his able
style. He talked at length on the pow
er of human nature and personality
and its possibilities and the results
Of ambition and over ambition.
Courage, temperance and purity
were also touched upon, concluding
with beautiful peroration on work
ing for a purpose and the necessity
of constantly being on the firing line.
Special music was given by the
large cathedral choir, which numbers
some thirty voices, which was greatly
enjoyed and quite appropriate for the
occasion. The cathdral was hand
somely decorated with cut flowers for
the occasion and the high altar was
converted into a floral bower.
