GARRITY LOSES
Big JUDGMENT
CASE OF MICHAEL GARRiTY
AGAINST cAsPAR JOHNSON AND
OTHERS, FOR $4,000 DAMAGES,
GOES TO THE DEFENDANT BY
DIRECTED VERDICT.

Judge Pollock directed the jury this
morning to render a verdict for the
defendant in the case Of Michael Gar
rity against Caspar Johnson and 9TH
ers, for damages to the extent of 49,
OO0
In giving his directions to the jury,
Judge Pollock said:
The Johnson Co. had not failed to
perform it's full duty to Clarity in
building the runway upon which the
injury occurred. If the runway was
in an imperfect condition, 1t was made
so by a co-employe of Clarity and
hence under the law the principals,
Johnson g. Co, would not be liable
The plaintiff was guilty of contiguous
negligence.
This case has attracted some atten
tion from the large amount asked for
and that a portion of the evidence Of
fered by the plaintiff was of a sensa-
tional nature.

VETERINARIANS
CLOSE Meeting

The annual meeting Of the North
today and one Of the biggest and best
pieces of work ever given in the north
west was presented to the f1ickertail
doctors by Prof. L. A. Merrilat of Chi
cago.
Professor Merrilat gave an address
this morning that was very broad and
comprehensive on The Neurectmoies
of Veterinary Surgery. The talk took
up the entire morning and was one of
the most scholarly discourses on vet
Urinary treatise that has ever been
given before the society.
This afternoon he further advanced
his work by taking the horse doctors
into the laboratory and gave them a
practical demonstration of the lecture
that he had given in the morning. The
bringing out of so ably handled a sub
ject in such practical manner was
most instructive. This constituted the
regular institute work of the associa-
ton.
The election of officers resulted in
the following men being selected to
head the organization for the next
year:
President-Dr. D. Fisher, Grandin.
Vice President-Dr. ]. E. Walsh, Mi
not
secretary-C. H. Babcock, New
Rockford.
Treasurer-B. C. Taylor, Hillsboro
(re-e lected).
The members of the association have
been most enthusiastic over their meet
ing this year. Yesterday there were
twelve papers and addresses given by
different speakers who appeared on
the programme. OF much interest at
the meeting was the report of num-
Der of physicians on some cases that
they had been handling recently. These
reports were given in detail and show
ed some of the more recent develop
ments in the line of practical modern
veterinary work.
Last night there were forty members
Of the society who gathered at ban
quet which was held at the Gardner
hotel. Excellent toasts were given and
the members of the organization re-
ported a most enjoyable time.

number of the city engineers present,
who are now dealing with the subject
of water publication and filtration
methods.
Prof. E. F. Chandler of the North
Dakota university gave an address on
The Surface Water Supply of North
Dakota. In view of the fact that the

this talk was one which brought out
several important points regarding the

CLOSE CLOTHING STORE
Prominent Business Firm Assigns a
Trust Deed to Credit Association
for Benefit of Creditors.

1t has been an open secret for some
time that the Hendrickson Clothing Co.
of this city has been in a perilous
position in the financial sea of bust
ness, and there was no surprise this
morning when it was ,announced that
the firm had given a--trust deed for
the benefit of its creditors, to John p.
Galbraith, secretary of the Northwest
ern Jobbers' Credit bureau, st. Paul. 1t
is said the deed was executed last
night. The store is closed and the
work of taking an inventory of the
stock and other assets will be pro-
ceeded with in the near future. The
business was one of the largest in the
city, but for some reason 1t has not
attracted the extent of patronage
which was commensurate with the
very large stock which the firm car
ried and for some time it has been ex-
pressed in commercial circles that the
clothing line was too heavily repre-
sented in Moorhead.

IN DISTRICT COURT

In the district court today the case
of Dowagiac Mfg. Co. VS.. The Great
Northern railway was opened. The
suit is to recover value for two drills
that were shipped over the G. N. to
Upham, n. d., by the plaintiff in the
action.
The total amount of the considera-
ton is not large, but the question to be
determined, is what amount of re-
sponsibility can be fixed on the rail-
ways.
The Dowagiac Mfg. Co. shipped two
drills to Upham, which were refused
by the consignee because they were
not as ordered. The G. N agent was
ordered to place the drills in storage,
and said he would comply with the
request. However, he left the drills
out in the weather for six months, al
lowing them to depreciate In value.
Finally the Great Northern shipped
the drills to Grand Forks, where they
were sold for costs. The manufac-
turing company now wants its money
for the drills.
Most of the hearing Is on deposition
and the case will not require any great
length of time.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Opinions.

walter Fitch & Co.: Ordinary wheat
market influences are turning more
favorable to holders and the tendency
seems higher from these natural re-
actions.
Shearson- Hammill g. Co.: The &C
ton of the wheat market yesterday
was a very direct suggestion that the
underlying speculative conditions look
ing towards the future rather than the
Immediate surroundings are of a bull
ish character.
S. B. Chaplin G. Co.: After the re-
action of the last few days the market
again has a healthy tone from bull
standpoint of view.
Logan & Bryan: Last week 1t looked
as though constant support from the
holders in this market might be neces-
sary to prevent a decline in wheat.
The decline took place and the market
took care of itself and made the strong
recovery without any special help from
bull traders.

COMPETITION OF
BIRDS IS CLOSE
IN TWO CLASSES, THREE BIRDS
SCORED SAME, SOMETHING
VERY UNUSUAL IN SHOW OF
THIS sIzE-AWARDs MADE TO-
DAY.

So close is the competition between
breeders in some Of the classes in the
North Dakota State Poultry show, this
year, that some of the non-winning
birds, in the White Plymouth Rock
class for instance, that they were only
a quarter of point below the second
prize winners. In the Barred and
White Plymouth Rocks there were
three birds which scored the same and
the decision Of the judges had to be
py comparison--a rariety in state
shows of this size.
Crowds were in attendance at the
show today and the enthusiasm and in
terest among the visitors were quite
pronounced.
The North Dakota Agricultural col
lege is prominently represented in the
Barred Plymouth Rock class, but not
in competition, only exhibit, the birds
however were scored just the same so
that the college has a complete record
for its poultry department. The score
cards show very high markings for the
college.
This afternoon the judges were
working in the White wyandotte and
Rhode Island classes.
This morning a very fine exhibit of
sixteen Polish birds was received from
the poultry farm of e. G. Roberts, Fort
Atkinson. Wis. and they occupy
coops on one of the side aisles. Cocks.
hens, cockerels and pullets are repre-
sented in the different varieties, white
crested black. bearded golden, beard
ed silver, bearded white, buff laced.
non-bearded golden, and others.
Assistant Secretary J. w. Gearev
says the show management have
adopted the plan of using cards to in
dictate the different winners. This
plan takes the place of placing the
actual ribbons on the coops which
were liable to be lost and soiled. After
the show the ribbons and reports of
the scores will be sent by Secretary
Canniff to the winners of premiums
and thus. many errors will be avoided.
Assistant Secretary Gearey reported
the following awards this afternoon:

Is 1T q BETTER?

In California the judges nave large
latitude in imposing penalties ioi
crimes. Recently a mar In Los An
eeles embezzled $4,000 from q theatre
and spent it in high living. 1nsteau u
sending the man to prison, the justice
gave this sentence:
You shall stay at homo nights. You
shall remain within the limits OF ms
county. You shall not play blllarus
or nooI freonent cafes or drink intoXi-
eating LIQUOR. and you shall go imnle-
diately to work and keep at 1t untii
you have paid back every dollar 70"
stole. Violate these terms n you 20
to prison.
Most of the embezzling comes from
doing the things the judge
against. Men who stay at nome VII
their families, shun pool rooms 90 not
drink and work regularly are rarely
in court for crime of any sort.
