EAST SIDE NOTES.

M H. Engells of Fergus Falls came
down from Towner N. D., Friday aft
ernoon. He says that there was two
and half feet of snow on the level
there when he left. The greater part
of North Dakota has had a very heavy
snowfall this winter, which will at
least start the grain.
The supreme court has handed down
a decision reversing Judge Baxter in
the case of E. r. Corliss VS.. d. D.
DAILY, administrator. Mr.. Corliss sued
for 5000 as commission on a land sale
and Judge Baxter directed a verdict
in his favor. Mr.. Daily appealed to
the supreme court, and that court holds
that question of fact was involved
and the court erred in directing the
verdict. The case will have to be re-
tired before Judge Nye.
The mems seminary of the Congre-
gational church was conducted, yes
terday, by George E. Perley.

of oldsters who think they can come

boys, James Sharp, Sky Pilot, Wilfred
Costain, Jay Hanson and others. The

The state auditor has appointed
Johnston Wagner Of Moorhead to be
state land inspector. The duties of
the office require about twenty days
service.
There is to be branching out at
the Lyceum picture theatre. Vaude-
Vile stunts are to be introduced so
that competition with Fargo may be
better met.
Atty. E. E. Sharp was a passenger
to Fergus Falls today. He went on
business connected with the Mag
nuson Bros. bankruptcy case. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Sharp as trustee,
is ready to pay the creditors a divi-
dend of 10 per cent
Mr.. and Mrs. c. r. Chaplin are en-
tertaining their aunt, Mrs. J. s. Chap
in, who is on her way from winters
sojourn in California.
At present Judge Nye is very busy
in chambers preparing decisions in
cases which have been submitted to
him. He will probably be in the city
all of the week. Next Monday Judge
Nye will open a term. Of court at Lit
tie Falls.
There was no business at the city
police court today. Judge Malloy says
if things keep on as they have been
Crookston will be getting grouchy be-
cause it will be minus anything with
which to knock Moorhead.
superintendent Edwards of the pub
lie schools has heard from Granite
Falls relative to the matter of league
debate and the reply is not satisfac-
tory to Moorhead. AS a matter of fact
both schools want the same things, to
argue the affirmative side of the reso-
luton and both sides want the debate
at their respective cities. The dead
lock has been submitted to the presi-
dent of the league for him to solve.
One very important feature in the
conduct of these debates is the one of
expense. 1t costs money to transport
several people from place to place and
the debates are lacking in drawing
power to stimulate the attendance of
the public, even at a very nominal en-
trance fee, and there is added costs
of course, where hall have to be rent
ed, because it is not every schoolhouce
which is equipped for illumination.
