BAIILESH|P SERVICE
MAY Be SEEN At FAIR

GRAND FORKS, N. D., July 4.-The
people of North Dakota have heard
much in the past two years of the
silver service for the battlt:;hip North

hoff of this city, spent considerable
time and not little work II, endeav
oring to raise the sum r" ;nired for
the silver service to be presented by
the people of the state TO the splen'
did battlesh;p that bears the name
North Dakota"
Eut now the people of the state are
going to have an opportunity, if plans
are successfully carried out, to see he
splendid silver service and action has
already been taken looking toward the
securing of the model of the battle
ship North Dakota to form part Of
the exhibit. COlOne w. H. McGraW,
one of the members of the commission.
together with George B. Winship and
Secretary Brockhoff are at work on
the proposition and if the plans ma
terialize, the exhibit will be one of the
most interesting educational and at
tractive at the state fair.
According to the present plans the
silver service ana the model of the
battleship will be housed in big tent
near the liberal arts building, and a
small admission will be charged. 1t
is planned with this admission not
only to raise the remaining amount of
the fund, but also to prevent the pro-
miscuous crowding in of people, as
would be the case if the admission was
free. Only nominal charge will be
made. Colonel J. Fl. Frame has con-
scented to supply the necessary artil.
lery to add to the realistic nature of
the exhibition and it is very probable
that there will be a detail of the ma
tional guard to do sentinel duty. The
model and silver service make very
valuable combination, being worth ap'
proximately $4,000.
The silver service comprises over
a hundred pieces of solid silverware
in all, forty.three of these being what
are known as the set. The service
weighs 1926 pounds, and it is said to
be a most artistic set and beautiful
piece of workmanship. The buffalo
head, typical of North Dakota, is the
center of the design.
The model of the battleship which
was seen here last year, is beauty
and possesses an educational value
hard to estimate. Communication is
being had with the North Dakota dele
CATION in congress and there seems to
be no doubt but that the model will
be secured for the fair.

IN
HANDS Of
A MANIAC
Fie0diSh Crime Prevented by
Arrival Of Neighbors
Girl Of Nine Years Object Of
Attack by Insane Man

MINOT, July 5.-Fred J. Curtis
was arrested late Saturday afternoon
on a warrant charging him with as
sault and ARTERY. The victim was a
9-year-old girl who became lost in the
woods near Eastwood park and was
discovered by Curtis. In an attempt
to accomplish his dastardly deed Cur
tbs bruised the girl severely, but her
cries for help were heard by parties
near the spot, who promptly came to
the rescue. The little girl was able
to give a pretty fair description OF
the assailant and he was captured
late in the afternoon and charged
with assault and battery.
When he appeared before Judge
Murray he admitted the offense and
startled the court by stating that he
had been run out OF Powers Lake for
a similar offense number of weeks
ago. His peculiar confession caused
the Judge to arrange hearing before
the county insanity board at late
hour this afternoon. Should they find
him sane he will Immediately be ar
raigned upon a graver charge ana
held to the district court.
Curtis has been in the city for sew
eral weeks and :fbout six weeks ago
startled the congregation of one of
the local churches by confession at
the close of the evening service in
which he stated that he had been
committing crimes which should land
him in the state prison, admitting
that he had been run out Of towns for
some of his deeds. His confession
was broken at times by sobs and his
desire to lead different life were
undoubtedly sincere. He appears to
have splendid education and claimed
to have been teacher at one time.
Efforts were made by the congrega-
ton to secure work for him which
were successful and every effort was
made to assist him in getting a new
foothold upon life. His admissions,
however, confirm the opinion of many
that the man is mentally unbalanced,
in any event a moral degenerate.

THE KING CAN DO NO WRONG.
Neither Can Hs Ever Die. According to
British Law.

Neither Can hs Ever Die. According to
British Law.
It is curious point Of British law
that the king never dies. or. to put it
in another way. 1t would be useless for
any barrister to argue that the rulers
predecessors have really died. since the
utmost the law will admit is that there
may be demise of the crown" mean
ing, Of course, simply that there has
been transfer Of the royal authority
from one person to another.
It is a maxim that 1.-The king can do
no wrong" and under the law he
would not be held personally RESPONSE
BILE for any crime or tort" that he
chose to commit at any time. At any
rate. We are assured by high constitu-
tional authorities that the law should
actually and literally be so construed
and that the statutes hold that any in
Jury his majesty might intiict upon
subject must be ascribed to the kings
advisers. One thing seems to be Ger.
tain. and that Is that his majesty can

goods be distrained or taken In execu-
ton should he fail to meet his liabili-
ties
A quaint feature of British law Is
that in theory the king Is present at
the law court at every sitting. though
he might in point of fact actually be on
the continent or elsewhere 1t follows.
therefore. that it Is impossible to non.
suit him as plaintiff should he not put
in an appearance when his case Is
called. since the law specifically states
that the king Is there. In similar
sense the king is always constructively
present in parliament. though he be
in fact thousands of miles from his
shores.
His majesty Is under the law the
nominal guardian Of all infants. idiots
and lunatics. and to him is granted
the sole right to print the Bible, the
Book of Common Prayer and all acts
of parliament in the United King
dom. 1t has been stated. furthermore.
that should he so desire the king could
forbid the printing Of any or all OF
