State Fair.

Grand Forks.-The state board of
game and fish control with the three
members, Thomas Griffiths, Of this
city, T. D. Casey Of Grafton, and w. E.
Byerly Of Velva, in attendance, togeth-
er with the state game wardens STEM
wick of Minot, and Olaf Bjorke, of
Abercrombie, met in this city and
talked over preliminary plans for the
protection Of game in the state. Prob
ably the two most important matters
discussed was the movement to inter-
est commercial bodies and gun clubs
over the state in game protection and
plans for the exhibit at the state fair.
The members of the board and the
movement for the purpose of inter-
esting commercial clubs in seeing that
there are no violations of the game
law. The members of the board and
wardens feel that the best method Of
enforcing the law is to awaken in the
minds of the people of the state SEN
timent strongly in favor Of enforcing
the game law. The new wardens mean
that the people Of the various localities
| will need to take greater interest in
! enforcement Of the law is the best
results are to be accomplished.
The exhibit at the state fair this
year is to surpass anything of the
kind yet attempted by the board. Sec
retary M. G. Bacheller of the fair asso-
citation, appeared before the board and
tentative plans made for taking care
of the exhibit which is to be composed
of live animals and birds, and fish
exhibit in charge of Supt. Main. The
plan now under way is to move the
old gun club house to the fair grounds
properly remodel it and use it as a
sportsmen's rest with an enclosure fo1
the live animals and fowls, the mount
ed specimens to be displayed in the
club house and the fish exhibit to be
arranged in suitable manner around
the porch

To Appeal Unusual Case.

Fargo.-W. ]. Courtenay Of Page, the
attorney in the case Of Jennie Falken-
berg VS.. Herban Norby, ct al, which
was tried at the last term Of the Hills
boro district court, is going to appeal
the peculiar case to the supreme court.
It will probably be appealed on the
basis of determining to what extent
people are liable for damages in cases
Of fright.
The case is one of the most peculiar
ones in history. 1t is alleged that Nor
by and others dressed in the festive
costumes of Norway, their native
country, entered the home of the Falk-
enbergs Christmas night and celebrat-
ed the holiday in their ture native
fashion.
Their dances and music so fright
ened Mrs. Falkenberg that she became
insane, it Is alleged, as a direct result
of the scare she received from the
party that had intruded into her home.
The event occurred the Christmas of
1909 and from February to September
| Of the next year she was confined in
the insane hospital and is not sup
posed to have fully recovered from the
shock yet.
When the case was tried before the
jury in the district court, Mrs. Falk-
enberg was given damages to the
amount of $1,000. but her attorney be-
lieves that she should have larger
amount She sued for $4,000.

Observation-Disclosures Hamilton Of
the Northwestern Telephone company
has been notified that construction
crew will begin work in Jamestown
soon and that the local system will be
practically rebuilt. Three years ago
the company made numerous improve

they would be sufficient for several

that another and more extensive set of
Improvements will be made. The esti-
mated cost of the work is $4,000.

PHILIPPr. ". Va, Nov. 1S.-Argu.
ments of counsel In the Mike Scott
white slave" case was resumed yes.
terday morning in the United States
district court. Barbour countys' pros
ecuting attorney. appointed by the
court TO defend the prisoned. made
an earnest and consistent argument
inbehalf OF his client, speaking for an
hour -. He was followed by District At,
torney Waugh, who concluded for the
government In a strong argument for
the prisoners conviction.
Judge Dayton's instructions and
charge to the jury were OF such a
sweeping nature and so inclusive Of
all the phases OF the offenses enumer.
ated in the white slave traffic act that
1t, in effect, was all instruction to the
jury 10 convict the prisoner. He
charged the jury thati they believed
from the evidence that the prisoner
transported or aided In any way In
transporting the woman Della Yer
trees either from Youngstown or from
Bellaire to Wheeling for any. immoral
purpose whatsoever or induced her to
so TO Wheeling for such immoral pur-
pose. even for the purpose of adultery
with the prisoner only he. was guilty
of violation OF the law.
This Interpretation OF the law by
the court LETT little hope for the pris-
oner's acquittal, for he had admitted
that he lived in Wheeling in adultery
with the prisoner After deliberating
on the case for one hour. the jury, at
three o'clock. returned verdict of
guilty. A motion for new trial was
made. and will be argued today.
