AS JUDGMENT
LOCAL ATTORNEYS RETURN
FROM FEssENDEN, WHERE
THEY WON A CASE WHICH IN
voLvED $4,000 AND SOME CLAY

ner have returned home from Fessen-
den, where they won big case, get
ring $4,000 judgment for their client,
James III. McVeety, in the action Of
McVeety against the Harvey Mercan-
tile Co. and A. J. Sayer.
The case was Judge Coffey's first
jury trial and his elaboration and the
justice shown won the admiration of
both sides. There were many rulings
involved in the hearing and the new
judge handled them in a most capable
manner.
The action was to determine the
plaintiffs willingness in carrying out
a contract which had been made be-
tween him and the defendants. Ac-
cording to the contract. which had
been broken, 1900 acres Of land in Clay
county, Mimi, known as the Ross land,
was to have been traded for merchan-
disc stock, buildings and lots in Har-
vey. The deal fell through because of
the breach OF the contract and the Jury
awarded Mcveety what it thought was
the amount he should have earned
had the contract been fulfilled.

PLANS FOR REPAVNG.

> There will be a special meeting of
the Fargo city council this evening at
1880 at the city hall to consider the
question of repaving some of the
streets on the, south side in the Third
ward.
This morning Mayor Lowell called a
meeting Of the aldermen for this even
ing to begin promptly at the hour
stated. The gathering is the outcome
of the meeting held Tuesday evening
by a number of the residents of the
Third and Fourth wards, when the
property owners in these districts voted
to ask that some of their streets be
repaved.
1t is probable that all Of the Sec
ton of the south side that is west of
Eighth street and south of the North
ern Pacific tracks, will be considered
for repaving.
City Engineer Anders has been asked
by the mayor to prepare plans for paw
ing these streets and submit some
specifications regarding different kinds
Of paving material, so that the council
will have a knowledge of the situation.
Mr.. Anders is working this afternoon
on plans for paving the streets with
creosote, bithulitic brick, asphalt, ma

FORMER PASTOR
A DEFAULTER
WAS ARRESTED IN MINNEAPOLIS
WHILE ENDEAvoRlNG TO
MAKE HIS ESCAPE.

Sheldon, N. D., Jan, 2S.--Many Of the
older residents of this vicinity will re-
member Rev L. c. Lebhan. who about
twenty-five years ago, conducted the
first German Lutheran services in Pom
tiac township, and who was instru-
mental in getting the church located
there. Those who knew him will be
surprised and grieved to learn that
Reverend Lebhan was recently arrested
in Minneapolis on an embezzlement
charge. For the past three years he
has been collector and financial agent
for the Lutheran hospital in Minneapo-
lis, and it is claimed that he col
lected funds for that institution and
failed to account for them. The war
rant for his arrest charges him with
embezzling 1905, but it is said that the
shortage is about $4,000.
Reverend Lebhan admitted the theft,
but said that he would return the
money. However, the police were
notified to see that he did not leave
town, and it was in an attempt to
make his getaway that he was ar
rested. When he saw the police ap-
preaching he started to run, but
when the bluecoats pulled their re-
yolvers he surrendered.
No reason has been given for the
defalcation. Previous to this Reverend
Lebhan has led clean and upright
life and has been esteemed by his fell
low workers and by all who knew
him.

OPPOSED To
North Dakota legislators Viii
ReSolute Against Plan
Western Farmers Would Be
Greatly Damaged by It
HelgeSen Predicts Republican
Losses If Plan Is Adopted

Bismarck, N D., Jan. 2S.-Membe1s
of the North Dakota legislature are
strongly opposed to the reciprocity
treaty with Canada. A resolution will
undoubtedly be passed and protest
sent to congress asking that body to
stand pat on the present proposition
to prevent Canadian wheat and live
stock from being run into this country
without payment Of duty.
Congressman Helgesen, who is here,
believes that if the proposed reciproc-
ity treaty goes through it will be a
death blow to the republican party in
the western part of the United States,
especially in the western agricultural
states.
The matter came up in the house in
the form of concurrent resolution by
Geiger.

Peristiany, went on board to investi-
gate There he was set upon by SOL
diers and driven from the ship. Dur
ing the attack his hand was cut and
his coat was torn off. The local po-
lice arrested some of the soldiers but
the captain of the New Jersey refused
to surrender the sergeant ringleader.
The vessel proceeded subsequently
to Smyrna, where there was Sec
ond row over the question of whether
the soldiers or the sailors of the New
Jersey were primarily at fault When
the vessel locked, it's second mate was
arrested.
American CONSUL general, Ernest L.
that he was roughly abused by the
warning factions. However,, he
brought about the arrest of the SER
geant.
When the news of the trouble
reached Saloniki the shipping men de-
clared boycott against the owners
of the New Jersey. Acting upon ad-
vices American embassy here promptly
took the matter up with the Turkish
government and in addition to protest
ing against the i'll treatment of Per-
istiany and Harris made representa-
lions regarding the boycott at Salon
Xxi. Later the embassy received as
surances that adequate measures to
stamp out the boycott had been taken.

has sent word that he will be in Fargo,
March 8. and 5 to attend the annual
state convention of the North Dakota
Young Mems Christian associations.

the people of Fargo and the state as
well. The laity and pastors were very
enthusiastic when told of his coming
and the committee is TO be congrat-
ulated on securing a man of such repu-
tation and ability.
Mr.. Gordon is the pastor of the Cen
trail Congregational church in Winni-
peg and his success there is. shown in
the fact that on Sunday nights his
church is filed one hour before the
services begin and crowds are turned
away because Of the inability of the

Fight over I.
DISTRICTS
Effort Being Made at Bismarck
to Divide State Into Strips
Eastern, Central and Western
Congressional Districts
Helgesen Opposing and Hanna
Reported on the Way

Bismarck, N D., Jan. 2S.-There is
a great deal Of excitement here over
the division of the state into congress
sional districts, The people from the
eastern part Of the state want the three
districts to be created so the western
part will be in one and the rest of the
state divided into two districts by an
east and west line.
There was a caucus here last night
at which it is reported the prevailing
sentiment was that the state should
be divided into three districts with
north and south lines. This would
throw the Red river valley counties
into one, the James river valley coun-
ties into another and the Missouri val
ley counties into third.
The advocates of this proposition
claim TO have enough votes signed up
to make it go through. If this plan
wins it will throw both the congress
men elected last fall into one district,
as Hanna and Helgesen will be in the
Red river valley district
Helgesen is here to protest against
this division, and it is understood,
though not definitely, that Congress-
man Hanna is en- route here from
Washington TO make an effort to have
the division along other lines.

taking sides either with the feder-

Many are bringing their horses
and cattle and the U. S. govern
ment officials are somewhat puz-
zled. over the situation that con-

have any food, but If allowed to
keep their animals 1t is thought

ly and no provisions are being re-
ceived in the district, even for the
Americans.
