posed Of his interests in the candy
concern and has associated himself
with the Roach Tisdale people for the
establishment of a factory at some
point In Saskatchewan. Inquiry at the
Grant company developed that Mr..
Grant had been out of the city for
more than a week and would probably
not be back here until next week so
that the report could not be verified.
1t is understood that a Minot man
has become identified with the Grant
company and will succeed Mr.. Grant in
the business. He told a Forum repre-
sentative this afternoon that he had
not taken active hold in the company
yet and for the present was only fill-
ing in Mr.. Grants place while the lat
ter was away, and that probably next
week some announcement would be
made to the public.
Some time ago it will be remembered
a portion of the Grant company was
purchased by Nash Bros. of Grand
Forks who have not been actively as
ISOLATED in the operation of the plant
here. The Minot man, it is under
stood, will become another member OK
the company and will succeed in the
near future to the active management
Of the local plant.

MENTs TOMORROW MORNING.

Judge Taylor of ST. Cloud arrived
this morning to take up cases IN the

rect connection before he was elected
Judge. On the civil side there are a
score or more of cases and there are
two important criminal cases. the state
against G. G. Shapleigh and the state
against Frank M. Rice. County At
torney Johnson today said he had been
advised that the defense in the two
latter cases had intimated that motions
will be made before Judge Taylor to-
morrow asking that they be continued
over the term. In the case of Shap-
leigh 1t is stated that there Is some
merit to the application for a con-
tinuance, but in the Rice case the state
will strongly oppose the move.
The case on trial before Judge Tay-
lor today is No. 40, Henry e. Dauner
against Richard G. Tweeton, repre-

BOARD OF EDUCATION LEVY.
School Needs Require 5000 More
Than Last Year.

According to the budget, adopted by
the board Of education. the expenses
OF the Moorhead public schools for
the year 1878 will be $4,000. but
Of this only $4,000 will have to be
raised by local taxation. as the re-
ceipts for the period. state school APP
portionment. state aid. i mill tax,
schools share of fines collected, etc.,
will approximately amount to $1,000.
The requirements Of the board OF
education are $4,000 in excess Of
last year. but that is required for ma
terial improvements which must be
made to the several buildings. The
levy is the highest made for a num-
Der Of years, but the growth and ad-
vancement OF the city and expansion
along different lines which must be
made. The crowded condition of the
high school will necessitate some re-
modelling Of the central building, un-
less the people vote to erect new
high school structure. but that move is
thought to be remote as the taxpayers
are not quite ready to authorize the
expenditure Of 100000 when the ex-
penditure Of $4,000 will make changes
which will put the main building in

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Exenina eraIn L.etter.

Chicago, oct. 30.--Wheat: Opening
prices were steady and tone during
the early part of the session was
rather easy. with local professionals
pounding the market. These sales
were undoubtedly for short account
and were absorbed by commission
house buying. The market rallied on
reports OF cash business with early
sellers covering on the advance. Kan
sas city reports cash wheat unchang-
ed, with a good demand. The volume
OF trade is small and largely of a pro-
fessional character. We do not look
for any important price changes at
the moment. Recent holders of wheat
who liquidated on the decline have
not, as rule, re-entered the market.
Only buying Of moment would un-
doubtedly advance prices easily. but
tn ere is nothing bullish in sight just
now. Chas. E. Lewis & Co.

HARRY BURKE
WAS MADE GOAT
MAN WHO is NOW CHARGED
WITH BREAKING JAIL THINKS
THAT HE SHOULD BE GIVEN A
SQUARE DEAL-sAys He WAS
MADE THE GOAT.

The troubles OF Harry Burloo seem
to be causing him a great deal q
worry and in the county court this
morning he intimated to the court
that things were not what they SEEM
ed to the outside world.
Burke appeared in the court this
morning to answer the charge and 70
have his formal arraignment, FOR
breaking Jail. Saturday at noon he
finished his regular sentence and was
at once arrested for breaking out OF
the county jail.
According to the story of Burke, he
has been made the goat of the jail
escaping deal He claims that he has
not only been compelled to bear the
burden of blame for the plot Of get
ting out OF the Cass county jail, but
that he has not been given any privi-
leges about the jail, such as should be
accorded him, while Kirkland is al
lowed certain privileges, which he
does not have.
The sheriff believes in keeping Burke
in close confinement, as Burke former
~ took advantage Of the liberties given
him by the sheriff and made his es-
cape.
The court this morning promised to
allow him to have square deal and
appointed for him an attorney. Elmer
son III. Smith has been named as his
legal adviser and the final hearing
will come before the court tomorrow.
1t will be remembered that Burke,
in company with William Kirkland,
broke Jail some time ago and were
later captured at Beach, N. ID. by
Sheriff Boyle and brought back to
Fargo. Kirkland still has several
months to serve on his first sem
tence, before again being up for break
ing jail.

gets LESS Than
She WAS OFFERED
THE PLAINTIFF IN DIVORCE Ac-
TIoN GETS THE BETTER OF
FINAL JUDGMENT WHICH HAS
BEEN HANDED DOWN BY THE
DISTRICT COURT.


The judgment in the divorce case of
H. c. Alcox VS.. Florence Alcox has
been handed down by Judge Pollock
of the district court
Mrs. Alcox Jared great deal worse
by her court proceedings than If she
had never gone into court. Before
the action was started she was offered
$4,000 and divorce by the attorneys
for the plaintiff, and now she has the
divorce, but is short about $4,000 in
money that she might have had.
According to the decision rendered
some time ago, the matter of aIimony.
money for the support of the child and
attorneys fees would be adjusted later
and fixed in the Judgment.
The judgment gives Mrs. Alcox only
$1,000 alimony 1t was popularity
thought she would get a great deal
larger sum. The plaintiff is to pay
the defendant but 5000 as fees for
counsel.
The child, Bernice, which is their
only minor child, was given to the
mother, when the decision was handed
down. The judgment of the court
says that the plaintiff shall pay 500
annually for the support of the little
girl, Bernice, payable quarterly In ad-
vance.
The property adjustments have been
made. All the property that was in
her name shall remain in her pos
session and this means that the prop
erty held Jointly shall be hers.
The Acox divorce case took up
great deal of the time of the court and
attracted considerable attention from
many sources. AS the decision and
judgmen stands both being entered,
the outcome of the case is about as
favorable to one as the other. The
attorneys for the plaintiff were Nc
Enroe & Wood.
