Interesting CASE Up
BEFORE District Court
CASE OF HACkNEY.BOYNT
LAND COMPANY VERSUS
GEO. w. LYNN.
Case Will Probably Last Until latc
Day Next Week to Take All Of tn:
Testimony.

What promises to be one of the
most interesting cases that has bee:
heard for many months before the
district court is being threshed out
before Judge Winchester this week
in the case of Hackney-Boynton Land
company of St. Paul VS.. George w.
Lynn of Linton.
The story of the case covers a
ne1iod of about twelve years. In
1901 the Hackney-Boynton company
purchased from the county of Emmons
about 5000 acres of land. The coun'
ty had the lands under the old Woods
law on account of the taxes being
delinquent upon it. When the delin-
quent tax sale was held it is stated
that there were no bidders. 1t is
also stated that Emmons county at
nat time was a little hard up COM
pared with the present times, at least,
and the county tried to sell the lands
in order to secure money susficien
to erect a court house. The Hack
ney-Boyhton company purchased the
lands for the amount of taxes on
them. In 1902 an action was begun
to quiet the titles in court and de-
cree was issued by the court covering
all of the titles.
Mr.. Lynn at that time was states
attorney. and he began to get quit
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-02-18

claim deeds from the fee owners all
over the country wherever they could
e found. He got a number of them
but there were some he could not get
as the parties could not be located.
Some of the cases were taken to the
supreme court which judicial body
knocked out the Woods law in oEe
of it's decisions.
The action which was commenced
by the Hackney Boynton company thi.;
week Lefore Judge Winchester is TO
tcnpel George w. Lynn to turn over
the quit claim deeds which he was
able to secure to the Hackney-Boyn-
ton company. The action is based
on the ground that Mr.. Lynn was
acting for the company as its attor-
ney when h. secured the quit claim
dee DIS, and whatever rights he may
have secured should have reverted to
the company.
The case will probably be long
one and will extend into next week
A large number of prcminen: Emmons
county men are interested in it and
have been subpoenaed as witnesses.
Senator Jos. NJ. Hackney and c.
NJ. Boynton of the Hackney Boynton
company OF 81. Paul are in the city
looking after their interests as is
w. G. Hoerr who was formerly treas
urer of the company. They are
represented by Attorneys Ashley Coff
man and A. r. Moore of ST. Paul.
and by Judge n c. Young of Fargo.
Mr. Hackney will return to St. Paul
this evening.

President EIated Over Reception
 Of Peace Plans
Especial from United Press. :,

Washington, July 22-President Taft was as pleased as a boy, today, over the reception accorded his announce ment at Bull Run, Va, that arbitra- tion treaties with France and Great Britain would be signed within 10 days
 The news that France had agreed to san arbitration treaty similar to that already negotiated with Great Britain came as a surprise.
 Sweden and Italy, with Germany, are pointed out, today, as the nations President Taft had in mind when he said he hoped three or four other powers would respond to his arbitra- tion proposals.
 No official response has been re- ceived from Japana.
 The secret of President Taft's determination to keep on his way to Manassas despite rough Virginia roads and roaring torrents, was revealed with the arbitration announcement. The Presidents car was. the only au- tomobile of the half dozen which started that went through to Manas- sas. This, too, was abandoned at Manassas and the President returned by train.
 Senators Nelson and Bacon, who started with Senator Brandegee but were rescued in midstream of a roar ing Virginia creek by the President spent the night. on the same battle- field 50 years ago. yesterday Sena- tor Nelson was on the Union side and Senator Bacon on the Confederate.

CUL MINATION 0F WAR CAME
 IN BAY STATE
Gov. FOss Takes Field as Com mander-In- Chief, Assisted by Capt. Hanna of Maj. Gen, Woods Staff
Special from United Press.)

Washington, July 2-Captafn M. F.. Hanna, attached to the staff of Ma jor General Leonard Wood. chief of staff, U. $. A, has been ordered to Boston where he will direct one of the most elaborated and unique war games ever played by a military force in the United States.
 It is the culmination of 2 s~futer of study and planning in which Cap tain Hanna co-Operated with and ad- vised the militia officers The unique imaginary situation devised is as fol- lows:
 A state of war exists between the United States and a foreign power. During May the invader landed q strong force to the south Of Boston and captured that city. Since then the bulk of this force has been trans ferred to the present principal seat of war where the main contendfne armies are now confronting each off- CT. The principal fleet Of the United States Navy is blockaded in Hampton Roads but a weak fleet of cruisers based on Portland, Me. is free to go and come on the New England coast. A small force has been left by the enemy in Boston to hold that city. This will be represented by one half the Massachusetts militia. to be known as the Blue Army. The otfsr half of the militia, representing inc United States force, is stationed along the Merrimac river. On Sunday. f7e Boston force will concentrate at ss- lem and the United States force will concentrate at Lowell.
 This situation is still all that is known to the commanders on hczn sides. Each commander has plans which he will begin to put into e<@ feet, on Sunday, which will bring about a conflict. Each is wholly up- aware of the plans of the other.
 Governor Foss will take the field and will act as chief umpire He will be assisted by Captain Hanna. who is in possession of the plans of each com mander. Each night he will rece5ve reports of the days operations. and after Sunday following a week of fighting the decision will be render ed. Captains J. McA. Palmer and C. D. Rhodes, also of the general staff will act as senior umpire on the tws opposing sides.

Woman Swallows Laudanum After
 Jail Sentence
Climax to Most Sensational Term of the New Haven Criminal Superior Court

New Haven, July 22-As the climax of one of the most sensational terms of the criminal superior court that has ever been held in this, city came the attempt made by Mrs Margaret Helsinger to commit suicide by drink ing laudanumi right after she had been found guilty on d charge of adultery and sentenced to one year or confinement in the local county jail last evening. The jury in this case, remained out for over five hours, by far the longest jury deliberation at this term of court and when a yer dict of guilty was brought in Mrs. Hell singer was deeply affected. She re- ceived her sentence and was taken from the court room to waiting room preparatory to being taken to jail when she suddenly pulled out a bottle of laudanum and started to swallow it's contents Mucn excite ment was caused by this continuation of the case after the long suspense of waiting for the jury to bring it's verdict in. It was after 10 o'clock at night when the jury was returned, Mrs Helsfnser was rushed to the New Haven hospital and after being cared for there was taken to jaiE it being decided that she was sufficiently re- covered to feel no bad effects from her poison dose.
 Twice before this term has unwont- ed excitement been precipitated around the court house as a result of the dis position of the cases there. After her son had been sentenced to from one to four years in state prison for bur gl8ry Mrs. Di Antonio rushed forward in open court and kneeling right before the bench pleaded with the court in excited and loud terms not to send her sen to prison, and after the case had been finished it was reported the woman made threats against her law yer on account of the result of the case. Then on Thursday Mrs. Kearns, when sentenced to States prison for burglary. created quite scene in court when she learned that she must go to prison cried aloud and carried on until she had been taken from the court room.
 It had been reported that the Hell singer woman had threatened to kill herself if the verdict of the jury was found to be against her.f This start ling outcome of the case called more attention to matter which has been before the courts for some time than
 would ordinarily be the case. The matter in question was the cases of the state against Mrs. Margaret Hell singer of Brooklyn, N. Y., the wife of Frank Helsinger. a tinsnith there, and state against Frederick Hasse, a designer at Sargent & Co.'S. The two were on trial together and each re- ceived the same sentence.
