ed and MIR. Heney will appear on the
course March 20, 1912. This date was
offered in a special telegram received
at the Y. NJ. G. A. this afternoon and
MIR. Wallace Immediately accepted,
as there has been a large sale Of tick.
cts n many of them have been pur-
fered on the list. The date of MIR.
Heney's appearance will be even bet
ter according to the management Of
the course as the date falls on Thurs

which made 1t most inconvenient for
many OF the business men who desir.
ed to hear him.
Mr.. Heney will appear between the
dates Of Frank Dixon. who appears
February 20 and Adrian Newens who
comes May 6, and as that is usually
not such a busy season as the fall
1t Is quite satisfactory to the
ers of the course. The auditorium
was at once engaged for the new date
March 28-and 1t is desired that all
that have purchased tickets will
change the Heney date to that time.
The illness of Mr.. Heney will post
pone the opening of THE Peoples

Eloquent" will be here. AS an OPEN
ing number for the course Senator
Gore will be as strong as Mr.. Heney
and the patrons of the course will no
doubt be glad to know tina the OPEN
Ing number is to be the senator.
Since the seat sale began there has
been q widespread interest both in
Grand Forks and in the surrounding
territory and it is evident that the
course is going to meet with success.
However 1t is not generally UNDER
stood that only a limited number of
seats are to be reserved and that
when these are disposed of there will
not be further reservations. conse-
quently many are slow to reserve
their seats. feeling that any time they
a attend to it. The best seats are
being taken and although there is an
extra charge for them they are still
remarkably cheap for the quality of
the numbers offered.

Judge G. F.. Templetun % tho dis.

The motion for n verdict for the
defendant notwithstanding the verdict
OF the jury was argued before Judge

court or a new trial will result in
an appeal to the supreme court.
In this case Mrs. Jackson received
her injuries when she fell on a side
walk near the Diamond mill at the
corner Of Fifth street and Kittson
Venue She sued for $4,000 dam
ages and MIR. Jackson sued for $1,000
damages. George A. Bangs appeared
for the plaintiff and j. B. Wineman
for the city. F. r. Feetham formerly
represented the municipality.
Judge Templeton handed down the
following memorandum decision:
This is q motion in the alternative
for Judgment notwithstanding the YER
dict and If that fails, for a new trial.
1 find nothing in the record that re-
quires the court to grant a new trial.
l am in very serious doubt whether
or not a Judgment should be entered
notwithstanding the verdict. 1t is
clear that mere slipperiness of the
sidewalk will not render a city liable
for negligence. The only elevation and
depressions in the ice on the side
walk at the point where the accident
occurred was that caused by pedes-
TRANS walking through the freezing
slush and soft snow. If a city is not
liable for negligence in permitting its
sidewalks to be slippery. it is difficult
for me to see how on sound principle
the city can he held liable under the
facts in this case. In view of the I'M
certainty in my WI mind as to the
rule of liability that should be held ap-
plicable to this case. I have decided
to override defendants motion and
not set aside the verdict. unless the
supreme court shall say that there is
no liability on the part Of the CITY,"
