GRAND FORKS LEADS
LIST OF AUTOS.
OWNED
County Reports 312, Which Is
the Largest, Number Yet
Reported
IS

T At the present time Grand Forks
county has the largest number of au-
tomobiles in the state, according to
the assessors lists which are on file
at the office Of State Auditor D. K.
Brightbill in Bismarck.
All but thirteen of the real property
lists have been turned in and there
are but five of the personal property
lists that are lacking. Exclusive of
the thirteen counties, Barnes, Billings,
Burke, Cass, Dickey, Mountrail, Oliver,
Pierce, Richland Stark, Steele and
Williams, which have not yet been
heard from, there are 4,OS7 automo-
biles In the state with. an assessed
valuation of approximately $1,02S,s50.
1t is expected that the Cass county
report will raise the number consid-
erably and that the total assessed
valuation will reach close to 100000
when the reports are all in.
At the present time Grand Forks
has the largest number, 312. and Dunn
county has the least number, only
reporting ten. The valuations are
much varied. The Grand Forks coun-
ty hoard of equalization. placed the
assessed valuation of each machine at
$24S and Sheridan county is the most
lenient placing the value of the auto
mobiles at $51.60.
Following is the number and as
sessed valuation by counties: -

FLATH's CASE |: WAS
CONTINUED TILL
FRIDAY
Action Concerning Speaking
on Public Streets Before !.
Magistrate Church

When Geo. P. Flath was arraigned
before Police Magistrate Church
charged with having gathered crowd
and obstructed the streets, in viola
tion Of the city ordinance, he entered
plea of not guilty and the case was
continued till Friday morning at 10
o'clock, when the trial will take place.
Flath made objection to the continu-
ance, but 1t availed him not.
Flath, who has. been prominent in
local circles for some time because
of his varied career, was taken in
charge while engaged in delivering
lecture on banking" and 1t appears
that the city officials had warned him
against such a course of procedure.
Flath, however, insists that he has a
right to talk, and last night resumed
his course of action with the result
that he was Jailed.
For some time Mr.. Flath has been
more or less prominent. He was once
an inmate of the Hamilton, Ont, asy-
lum for the insane, which was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday, and later
! he brought suit against the authori-
ties of that institution, charging
cruelty.
He has also had an experience re-
Gently with Minnesota authorities, and
claims that he was mistreated in the
Rochester hospital for the insane. His
earliest experience with asylums was
about ten. years ago, being with the
Guelph institution.

PRESENT DAmIs SUFFICIENT.
Will Be Improved Next Winter But
No Other Dam Will Be Built
Says City Engineer

According to a statement made to-
day by City Engineer Henry Lykken,
no other dam than the one construct
ed by Superintendent John Lunseth
will be built. A meeting Of the water
works committees. Of the city coun-
ellis Of both Grand Forks. and East
Grand Forks was held some time ago
at which Mr.. Lykken was authorized
to prepare plans for permanent dam
in the Red Lake river. it~
The temporary dam erected under
the direction of Mr.. Lunseth has
proved efficient. 1t has raised the
water level two feet and with little
more labor can be made permanent.
This work will be delayed until next
winter, when the operations can be
pushed on the Ice.

HALEYARD (1s inches) HAS NEW
Wesley Collage Faculty Member Au.
thor Of "Fundamentals Of the
Christian RoliRiOn.0

thor Of fundamentals Of the
Christian Religion"
The many friends Of DR.. 8. f. Half
yard will be glad to learn that his
new book, fundamentals Of the Chris
tian Religion" has been published
and is on the market. Those who
have seen the work are loud in their
praise OF it and predict for 1t a large
success. The purpose Of the book is
to exhibit the fundamental truths Of
Christianity and to present them In
such way as to establish faith in the
saving power Of the Christian re-
ligton. A comparison is made between
the Christian system and the various
ethnic religions In which the measure
less superiority Of the Christian faith
becomes manifest. The work also
aims to show that the content Of the
Christian revelation contains Gods
best message to the race and as such
can never be superseded.
DR.. Halfyard's book is the product
Of profound thought, constructive
Imagination, and ripe scholarship. 1t
evinces wide erudition as we'll as a
deep insight into the many problems
Of theology and religion. The work,
moreover, is charmingly written. The
writer has avoided largely the termin-
ology Of the theological schools and
has expressed his arguments in clear
and beautiful language. The diction
is choice and there are many passages
throughout the book Of rare literary
beauty. A review of it will be given
In the columns Of the Times.

CHANGES T0BE MADE
At COLLEGE
OF Law
Dean Bruce Will Go East to
Select Several New Mem
.--....- !. bers Of Faculty

When the students at the North Da-
kota college of law return for the
opening Of the school year they will
ind a number of changes. The third
floor Of the Clifford building which
Is used for the law department is be-
Ing remodeled to accommodate the
three classes which will be at the
law school for the first time this
year.
The course of study was extended
to three years year ago but ap-
piled for the first time to the class
which will graduate in 1912.
1t was first intended to divide the
large senior class room to make two
recitation rooms but later it was de-
cided that a better arrangement would
be to use the senior room as a IL
brary and to use the two library
rooms as recitation rooms. The work
of moving the books and cases is now
being done. Office rooms will have
to be. divided off from the recitation
rooms, the floors and castings will be
vanished and new furniture INSTALL
ed. The furniture has already been
ordered It is of very good quality
and was purchased with the idea Of
being suitable for the new law school
building when 1t Is erected.
Besides changes In the building,
there will be several changes in the
faculty. The removal of Judge Guy
G. H. Corliss and Attorney B. G..
Skulason from the state leaves two
vacancies that will be hard to fill.
Another Instructor will also be need
ed on account of the third class.
Dean Bruce will leave about Aug
ust 15 for Boston where he will at
tend meeting Of the American Bar
association. On his way he will stop
at Chicago and probably at other
points to secure men to fill those po-
sitions. Dean Bruce Is an able Judge
Of men, having always selected capa-
BILE instructors and it is certain that
the men he selects will be competent
to fill the positions.

HIGGINS IN DIVORCE COURT WITH
WIFE ALLEGING TALE Of BRUTALITY
She Charged Him With Beating Her Until She Gould Not
speak-0nce Revolver Was Brought Into Play, Bet
ter Half Declares She Was Granted Decree

A rather sensational divorce suit
was. tried before Judge Templeton in
chambers this morning when Sarah
NJ. Higgins sued her husband, w. j.
Higgins, for separation and for the
custody of their two children, John
w. Higgins. aged 10 and Mary R. Hig-
gins. aged II. The Higgins were
married at Winnipeg in February
1889 and the testimony showed that
their welded lie had been rather ex-
citing. though not joyous.
In her compaint, Mrs. Higgins al
legged cruel and inhuman treatment,
none-support and improper relations
with women. 1t was charged that
shortly after the marriage, the de-
fendhnt started to abuse his wife,
that he was insanely jealous and ac-
cused her Of unfaithfulness before
their children and before strangers,
that he had beaten and kicked her
and reviled her with obscene
language.
April 15. My Q and June 8. this
year are fixed as dates upon which
the defendant Is alleged to have be-
come particularly abusive. With acts
complaint of taking place in this city.
It was charged that on the last Of
these dates, the defendant had beat
en- and kicked his wife until she was
so weak and nearly dead that she
was unable to speak, and that he had
dragged her then about the floor and
finally jumped on her body with his
feet. 1t was further charged that
during this period Of violence he had
used language which was too OBJ
scene to be placed In the record.
Covers Long Period.
Another allegation was that for a
period of more than ten years, the de-
fendant had consorted with women Of
unsavory and doubtful reputation to
the great mental anguish Of his WIFE,

RAY AUSTIN Up FOR
IMB:||B|hG TOO.
MUCH
Not the Newspaper Austin
However, Judge Church
Had . Busy Morning

Police Magistrate ]. r. Church had
a busy time of.it this morning when
he had five men brought before him
In rapid fire order. The first two
were gentlemen of color who had
been hanging around the city for the
past few days sleeping in barns and
hitting the back doors for meals.
They were both given four minutes
in which to start for Africa or parts
other than Grand Forks and vicinity.
Ray Austin of Petersburg was the
next on the program. He admitted
having taken several more drinks
than were good for him or for the gem
eral public and after being sentenced
to ten days In the county Jail, put up
a plea Of having to get back to work,
Judge Church finally gave him an op-
!tion of ten days or thirty minutes.
He embraced the thirty minute op-
portunity.
Frank Varick, hailing from Grafton.
Mimic and the harvest fields, was then
taken before his honor. Varick APP
peared at the police office Tuesday
evening and asked for information
about the trains, or at least that ID
what he told the Judge this morning,
Chief Lowe, however, told a different
story. Varick tried to whip the
whole police force while handcuffed
and failed. He told the Judge that
he had not been very drunk, which
called for the remark from the deal
er of the law, that he would like to
know what he was like when he was
very drunk; If. when not very drunk,
ne yelled for two hours straight,
making a noise that would shame the
roofing squads. After some discus
sion, Varick was given thirty minutes
to "beat 1t while the going was
good"
The fifth man on the awkward
morning after" squad was ushered
to the prisoners chair and was ush-
cred back again when he started to
initiate sawmill in full working or
der. Judge Church gave him two
days in the city Jail in which to sober
up and he will then be given hear
ing.
The evening times., 1911-08-02

It was charged that in February.
1905, whtie the Higgins were In Far
go. the defendant had locked the
plaintiff in Q room and sought to
compel her TO allow him to maintain
and consort with women Of doubtful
character and, that upon her refusal.
he had pointed q revolver at her and
fired, the bullet just missing her
head.
1t was further alleged that the de-
fendant was addicted to the use of
intoxicating liquors and that he had
squRndered his money, leaving his
wife and children without the necessi-
ties of life.
All Of these charges were found
touched on by@4evidence before the
court with the exception of the one
charging with consorting with i'm
moral women for over ten years.
The other charges were sufficient to
form a ground for divorce and decree
prayed for was granted and Mrs. Hig-
gins was given the custody of the
children.
Valves Alimony.
In the complaint, alimony was ask
ed but this was waived.
The only witnesses were Mrs. Hig-
gins and her daughter. The defend
ant was represented by Attorney F..
G. Massee Of East Grand Forks. He
did not offer any evidence but merely
opposed the introduction Of some Of
the plaintiffs evidence. Attorney J.
B. Wineman appeared for Mrs. Hig-
gins.
The granting OF the divorce is the
elimination to - long list Of difficul-
ties which has brought the Higgins
into court before. 1t is but six weeks
since Mr.. Higgins pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault upon his wife and
paid a fine. The action for divorce
was started more than a month ago
but service on the defendant could
not be made for some time.
