Susis Van Berkom Of Bowbells Asks
for Damages in Malpractice Suit
Some Sensational Testimony VIII
be in Evidence.

An interesting malpractice case will
be tried at Bowbells at the term OF
court which is now in session. It Is
the case of Susie Van Berkom VS..
DR.. Doe, who is suing for $1,000
damages. The complaining witness
alleges that DR.. Doe owned a hospi-
tai in Bowbells and that nurses he
had employed had received orders
from him to apply heat, resulting in
burns on her body. The defense
denies that he owned the hospital and
alleges that the complaining witness
hired her own nurses, who therefore
acted as her agent. The plaintiff
further alleges that the doctor called
in an outsider to assist him, while the
defense alleges that he had a parti
cularly hard case that he had been
working an hour and that he was
exhausted, and that the woman was
out of the chloroform and that in order
to save her life, he secured assist.

PATIENTS ARE
DISAPPOINTED
Doctors Completes 70 Perform Opera
tons at Home o. Patients o. o0no
Them Out Of the clty-No More
Received at Hospital.

The county commissioners in order
ing the hospital closed, and refusing
to accept no more patients, have
done the rankest injustice to the sick
people OF tho northwest, to the doct-
ors of this section of the state and to
the city Of Minot. Within two days,
Sunday and Monday after the drastic
order had gone into effect, four patti.
ents applied for admission into tho
institution and were refused. Or.
Martin I. Olson, Drs. Newlove and
DR.. Ransom were the physicians in
charge, and this statement can be
verified by interviewing any one Of
those doctors. One patient was com
PEELED to go to Bismarck for an opera
ton. II the county dads wanted to
lease the hospital, why didn't they
continue to accept patients, allowing
the concern that leases the hospital
to take charge of them in case they
are not discharged before the change
Ia made? .5sa

Sell Furniture and Fixtures and
Lease Building.

The board of county commissions
ers passed resolutions Saturday after
noon closing the Northwestern hos
pital after May l, and will sell the
furniture and fixtures and lease the
building for two years. A very
large percentage of the members OF
the Northwestern Medical society
favored the plan Of the couaty's
operating it's own hospital, providing
that a matron Of the right kind coah
be placed in charge, and the act Of
the commissioners In closing The -
stitution has caused a very bttt9
feeling to exist all over this part q
the state. We have somethnG -
say concerning this matter ed1eee
tally.
The board received q written opea-
ion from Geo. L. Ryerson. assistant
states attorney. to the effect ~
there is no law requiring the coaAty
to run hospital.
The following resolutions Wugo
passed:
Whereas, Ward county Ia the ov1r
er and possor of a poor farm and
asylum with sufficient room, eQuiH
ment and help, in the opinion OF this
board, to accommodate and care ~
the county sick and poor. and that
therefore it is superf1uous and -
necessary to keep open and maintain
the Northwestern hospital, said w.
pitaf not being self-sustaining and -
a heavy drain on the taxpayers q
the county, and a source o! constA1A
trouble to this board;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That The
said Northwestern hospital be closed
as county hospital on and after the
lst day of May, 1911, and that fro0
and after the passage of this resol1-
ton no new patients shall be admit
ted to said hospital: and the matro1
i'll charge is hereby instructed not .
admit any new patients into the saj8
hospital and to notify all patients
therein at this time, and al physte
ians having charge of such patients,
to have them removed therefrom ~
the time above mentioned for clost10
said hospital. Be 1t further,
Resolved, That the furniture, a.
lures and equipment now in the sa1o
hospital be sold, and the hospital
building and nurses home buildinO
be leased until such time as the sane
can be legally sold; and the con1ty
auditor is hereby Instructed to advsr.
tise the said furniture and eQutpmsns
for sale and the buildings for rent,
for a term Of two years; and tie
county auditor Is further instructed
to post a copy of this resolution In Q

deliver copies thereof to the matro1
and nurses in the hospital.
The vote was as follows: Lokens.

The board also passed resolutions
declaring all contracts, written. oral
or implied, with Miss Windell to be

BIG CROWD At
SOCIALIST DEBATE
Lesueur -Propourds Some Interesting
Questions Which Rev. Mr.. Gunter
Fails 10 Observation-Disclosures In
stead Interesting Sermon.

An immense crowd attended the
debate between the Socialists and the
ministers at the opera house Sun
day afternoon, but were . little dis
appointed owing to the fact that the
arguments did not prove as interest
ing Is they expected. 1884, f
Arthur Lee~eur represented the
Socialists and he propounded some
questions that would have bothered
anyone to answer. In fact, Mr.. Gun
ter ignored the questions entirely.
and proceeded to deliver an interest
inx sermon, that no doubt furnished
some food for reflection. The So
caalists and others, who gathered ex'
pecting to hear a red hot debate, were
somewhat disappointed, and before
the Reverend had concluded his re-
marks, a very large percentage Of the
eight or ten hundred people present
had fled out, ..
Mr.. Gunter in opening his address
roNed up his sleeves and said tina,
he had come prepared to fght-not
the Socialists-but the devil and Gin
In its many forms. .-.......
Mr.. LeSueur told some stories and
kept the audience interested. He
said the Socialists do not sco6 ct 10
ligion, but they are not entirely IN
harmony With tho workings Of tho
churches.

MISS WlNDELL STOOD PAL.

MISS WlNOEll STOOD PAL.
In order to GUST Miss Windell from
the hospital, the commissioners had
to resort to drastic measures. First
they passed resolution to notify her
Of her discharge. She refused to
vamoose. Then they made a lorna.
demand for the keys. She refused
to give them UP, and employed L: r..
Psha to represent her. They then
passed resolutions, notifying all firms
doing business with the hospital that
the county would not pay for supplies
ordered by Miss Windell, and instruct
ing them that until further notice,
Miss Leila Halvorson only is authorlz-
ed to order supplies. Miss Windeli
still refused to go before being pro-
perly checked out.

grocery stores will buy butter and

buy for prices governed by the Mime
apolis market, and butter. eggs, ana

grocers have all had more or less
trouble buying butter. Fact Of the
matter is, that some make better but

make a customer believe that mis-
butter is inferior to that Of someone
