Case Up

From the crowd gathered around
the entrance to Hough's Dairy Lunch
about 1880 o'clock Monday evening, it
might have been supposed that some
one had been killed, but the cause Of
the disturbance was an argument be-
tween one of the show men of the
Midnight Sons" company and E. w.
.Hough, proprietor of the lunch room,
over the price on Ham and"
The man who gave his name as Fred
LaDue. appeared at the lunch room,
ordered something to eat and got into
dispute with the proprietor over the
price charged, the midnight son lost
his temper and sailed into the former,
with the result that for few minutes
excitement reigned supreme. Officer
Gravelle was hastily summoned and
the man was arrested on complaint of
Mr.. Hough and was arraigned in the
municipal court before Judge Phil Nc
Loughlin. After hearing the facts in
the case LaDue was fined $40 and
costs which was paid and was allowed
to go and help the chorus sing "I'd
like to live in loveland." 1t is prob
able that he would rather live there
than in Grand Forks as he did not
enjoy his stay in this city.
Jim Pappas Again.
Jimm Lambos and Jim Pappas, both
of whom have been in the tolls of the
police before, became mixed in rath-
er heated argument this morning. with
the result that the latter is wearing a
black eye and is feeling rather badly
battered up.
He appeared in the municipal court
this morning and signed complaint
for the arrest of his assailant. The
trial was set for late this afternoon

The suit brought by the Grand
Forks Fish company against Sam

er and workingmen and was natural
~ interested in the subject of reci-
procity. He said that the delegation
had given him many new points on
the subject and promised to look into
the mater thoroughly. His support
will mean a great deal to the cause
of the American farmer.
In st, Paul, the North Dakota dele
CATION met with the Minnesota dele
cation to decide what procedure
should be followed. Former Senator
Hansbrough was also present at the
meeting. 1t was decided to delay the
trip to Washington until word was
received from the representatives in
Washington that the best opportunity
for presenting their case had arrived
South Dakota is taking much inter-
est in the subject and county meetings
are being held all over the state. It
is expected that state convention
will be held in short time and it is
probable that delegation from that
state will be ready to reinforce the
representation of North Dakota and
Minnesota.
The delegation found the sentiment
along their route practically unani-
nous against the proposed agreement
The delegations of the three states
will have the united support of the
people of those states.
