POLLOCK TO SIT
in FAMOUS CASE
JUDGES ALLEN AND POLLOCK
WILL CHANGE COURTS ToMoR-
ROW AND FARGO JuRIsT WILL
HEAR CASE THAT HAS TWICE
BEEN BEFORE SUPREME COURT

Judge Allen of wahpeton and Judge
Pollock of Fargo win change courts
tomorrow and by the change the Far
go jurist will hear the famous Rich
land county school bond case which
has twice been before the supreme
court Of the state.
The case that Judge Pollock will sit
in is that of H. r. Williams. ct al,
VS.. the F'airmount school district,
April 30, 1907, the voters III the school
district voted to issue $4,000 in bonds
for the purpose OF building new
school house. At that time two meni-
bers of the school board favored the
bond issue and one member was OPP
posed.
Just before the bonds were sold the
man came to the school board who
was opposed to the bond issue, Biv-
ing majority on the board for the
opposition.
williams then brought suit to en-
Join the board from selling the bonds,
alleging that fifteen Of the persons
who voted for it were not voters
Judge Lauder OF Wahpeton was re-
tanned as the attorney for the board
and he filed an answer denying the
allegation.
The board then came to Lauder and
instructed him to ask the court to
enter judgment In favor of the plain
tiff. Being an honorable attorney
Judge Lauder refused to do so and
the board informed him that he was
dismissed. The attorney refused to
recognize the dismissal by the board
and retained Dan RI Jones, who asked
the court to give judgment to the
plaintiff and against the board. In
the meantime a petition had been
court to allow Lauder to act for the
people, but the petition was denied.
Jones had secured judgment for the
plaintiff and the court was asked to
vacate the Judgment but denied the
request.
Tho matter was then carried to the
supreme court by Judge Lauder act
ing for number of the people. The
higher court decided that the lower
court had erred and that the decision
was conclusive, illegal and void.
The matter then went back to the
district court and Lauder made appli-
cation to have the judgment vacated
and IL was granted. Williams then
appealed to the supreme court and the
lower court was affirmed in the yaca-
cation Of the judgment.
The case now rests upon its origi-
nal basis and after much litigation 1t
will be decided upon its merits. Judge
Pollock will be asked to determine IL
there we're any illegal votes cast In
the election.
The case that Judge Allen will hear
Ia A. 1T. McKone VS.. the city Of Fargo.
The action has to do with the validity
Of certain paving assessments.

ROBBED BY .YEGGMEN

M1NOT, Aug. 3O.-At an early hour
Monday morning, presumably between
and 4 o'clock, yeggmen entered the
postoff1ce at Flaxton and blew the safe
open, getting away with about 5000
in cash, $400 worth Of stamps, two
registered letters and several hundred
dollars worth of jewelry from the L.
V. Randall jewelry store, which was in
the postof1ce block. The safe was
blown open with nitroglycerin, but the
work was so quietly done that the rob-
berry was not discovered until this
morning when Postmaster Gee en-
tered the pOstoffice.
Sheriff Dick Steinhoffer was noti.
fed and left at once for Flaxton.
where careful search was made of
the premises with hope of finding
clue to the robbers. The search was
without result and the authorities are
without any clue whatever. A man
and woman who came up from Ken.
mare late Saturday afternoon and who
hung around the town without any ap-
parent object are under suspicion, but
they left early this morning on the
branch train. Authorities along the
line have been notified to keep a close
watch of these parties. The Minot
authorities and those in other cities
over the state are on the lookout as
it Is presumed that the burglars will
make an effort to dispose Of their
booty at some of the pawn shops or
jewelry stores. The jewelry consists
mainly OF watches and rings.

DIR, YALE To ..:... :.
DIAGNOSE AURA
The NE1ULouS HAZE SURROUND
ING HUMAN BODY TO BE
ANAlYZE0
II Is Now Believed That Such dag
nosis Will Prove Great Help in
the Treatment Of Consumption.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 30-The
aura which scientists have discovered
surrounds the human body, it is now
believed, may prove a great help in
the treatment of consumption.
Dr.. Arthur w. Yale, tuberculosis
specialist advances this theory. In a
recent test DR.. Yale examined pa
tents chest through. a glass slide,
The aura was perfectly visible and
under the left shoulder was broken,
seemingly indicating that this part Of
the chest was where the tuberculosis
tissue was. Reference to the patients
chart, made after a physical examin.
alton, bore out the laura diagnosis. -
DR.. Yale intends to continue his
experiments, believing they may aid
him in making correct diagnosis
when treating tuberculosis by indi'
eating the position of the diseased
lung LESSONS. This is on the theory
that wherever the body is diseased
!, there is a break in the aura.
Philadelphia physicians recently
we're given a demonstration by DR..
Yale of the aura. An artists model
girl of twenty, was obtained as a
subject. The aura is more distinct in
a woman than in a man for some rea-
son unexplained. The room was dark.
ened so that all chance of shadow
falling ON the model was removed.
The doctors say that after few mo-
ments had passed the girls body was
surrounde~ by nebulous haze-a
blush gray ring extending around the
body.
After the eye had been accustomed
to the extreme limit of its vision, the
lenses were dispensed with and the
unaided sight discerned the aura's
blush glow.
The aura is visible in three distinct
parts: First, next to the body dark
band a quarter of an inch thick; Sec
ond, tho inner aura or band of light,
and finally the outer aura. DR.. Yale
at times drew his finger along the
undraped figure of the model and the
aura followed it.
Some of the observers noticed there
were distinct bands Of light between
the doctors finger tips and the body
of the model. Withdrawal of the
hand seemed to pull the haze
away from the body, causing a decid-
ed change of shape in the aura. Lat.
er it resumed its origninal position.

SWINDLER
IS LANDED
FRANK n. kIMBALL TELLS OF
METHOD az WHICH HE
SWINDlED.
His only Regret Seems to Be That
He Did Not Go High Enough and
Secure More Money.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 30-Franl
H. Kimball, of Guthrie, Ok, was ar
rested in Tacoma last night by Pinker
ton operatives, charged with swindl
ing three banks and C. D. Hillman o1
1880. He is said to be the man who
obtained more than $4,000 through
out the country the latter part of last
year. A suitcase found in Kimballs
possession contained nearly $4,000
in currency. He admits his guilt.
At o-A Harrison street, Guthrie, are
Rosa, Adeline and Alfred Kimball,
motherless children, all in their teens
waiting the return of their father who
two days ago wrote them postcards
describing the beauty of Washington
mountains and water scenery, and
promising he would join them soon.
He closed each message with love
and kisses from papa"
But for his recognition by keen
eyed banker Kimball might have dis
appeared as he did six months ago
when detectives lost him in Dallas,
after he is alleged to have swindled
banks in Kansas City, Cincinnati,
New Orleans, Dallas and other cities.
Kimball, who is so years old, ;about
feet, inches tall and weighing 140
pounds, native of Louisiana, where he
confesses he served penitentiary sen
tence for forgery, tells his own story.
as follows:
II had laid low for some time, spend
N niv OF
to my little children, then one day
picked up Seattle newspaper and
read of how a man named c. D. Hill.
man was out on 100000 bail for
swindling, concluded if he was doing
SO we'll here he would be the man to
fall for a big piece of money.
Il realize I didn't go high enough.
Instead of making out three forged
certified checks for $4,000 and $751;
600, I should have made one for $500,
900, and could have cleared up $4,000
as easily as did the $4,000 got from
Hillman.
ut was when Hillman was asked
for $4,000 cash and l had the other
two forged certified checks on my
person that l decided to get two
banks on these checks. got
Dexter Horton Bank for $4,000 and
Seattle National Bank for $1,000.
Il did it through purchase of city
bonds from John Davis,
:hus getting standing with two banks
as did with the National Bank of
Commerce through an Introduction by
Hillman, one of their depositors.''

Lexington's IL passengers and crew of
A men say they owe their lives. Storm
racked for "a hours, her nose driven
deep in quicksand Of Hunting island,
with high seas dashing over her, the
Lexington threatened 20 break up and
fling her human cargo to death in the
seething waters. 1t is said the Lex
ington will be total loss. But Shees-
ley, the wireless operator, did not
despair. Persistently he licked out
his call for help and kept the terror
stricken passengers from abandoning
hope. Finally terrific wave swept
the ship, and wrecked the wireless sta
ton on board. For moment it
seemed hope was dashed, but Sheesley
climbed into the rigging and hastily
fixed up the station. In danger of his
life from high wind which threatened
to tear Him from his seat, and blinded
by spray, Sheesley sent out his plea
for aid. Suddenly through the storm
he was answered by the revenue cut
ter Yamacraw, which had heard his
call and came on the way to save the
lives of the Lexington crew and the
passengers. Twelve passengers, stew
ard and three negroes employed on
the Lexington were brought here
early today by the Yamacraw, which
left the captain and crew of 43 men
on board. Two firemen were re.
ported to have burned to death and
a third terribly scalded when the ves-
sci grounded. First Officer Chamber
