Eidsvold School District,

The Turtle Mountain choir
met at John Skjei's for practice
Sunday evening.
Fifty per cent of the pupils
enrolled have neither been alb
sent nor tardy the last three
months.
The debate Friday evening,
February 3, was a great sue
cess. Martin Cavallin, the ex-
cellent leader of the Turtle
Mountain choir, came with his
singers and music. The Turtle
mountain choir are thirty
strong all natural born singers
and those who failed to come
and hear them missed a fine
musical treat. The mixed
choir and the male quartet
also sang some fine songs.
The violin solo by John S. Moe
ond the instrumental music by
Martin Cavallin and Philip
Paulson were greatly enjoyed
by the large and enthusiastic
audience. The debate was in
teresting from start to finish
and it is safe to say that every
farmer present learned some
thing worth knowing. The
question, Resolved, that mixed
farming is preferable to grain
raising in North Dakota" was
duly discussed pro and con.
The jury decided by a vote of
2 to l in favor of mixed farm
ing. The shorthand contest
could not be held that evening
but was held Monday and Nels
Skjei came out victorious with
a score of one hundred per
cent. The next debate will be
held Friday exening, February
10, in school house No. 4 in
Hilton school district No. 10.
The question for discussion
will be Resolved, that women
should be given full SUFFRAGE"
The leader on the affirmative
side will be Anton Gordon and
on the negative Hans O. Han
son.

Andy Jones Enjoying Life.

Grand Forks Herald: James
Austin of Hannah, known over
the northern part of the state
as successful stock raiser, was
in the city last evening. Mr..
Austin is just back from Kan
sas City, where he sold a car
load of stock last month and
where he has since spent some
time visiting. He learned,
however, of the corn and clover
convention and decided to come
back home to listen to the adj
dresses. Mr.. Austin said last
evening that the winter wheat
in Kansas is at the present
time looking rather thin and in
need of moisture. The weather
there has been remarkably
warm and dry. He also re-
marked that he had talked with
stock men from further south
and one from Texas. All of
them stated that the conditions
i'll their respective localities
were not at all propitious ow-
ing to a lack of moisture.
While in Kansas, Mr.. Austin
visited the federal prison at
Leayenworth and saw Andy
Jones, late of North Dakota.
The bankers colony is now 36
and is thriving. A week ago
Tuesday Andy Jones was made
a trusty and placed in charge
of the greenhouse. The work
is very congenial as friends
and acquaintance of the former
North Dakotan can testify. He
always delighted in dabbling
in gardening, Horticulture and
the like. The convicted banker
has made a splendid record as
a prisoner, according to the
statement of the penitentiary
warden.

which have been common talk

WOULD IMpEACH C0WAN
Resolution Introduced in House at 8is-
narck by Davis of Larimore.

Bismarck, North Dakota,
February 8.-Resolutions call
ing for the impeachment of
Judge John F. Cowan of the
district court OF the second
judicial district were introduc
ed in the house this afternoon
by Representative A. A. Davis
of Grand Forks county.
The charges against him in
the resolution relate to his
personal and official conduct.
The impeachment resolutions
follow action taken recently by
a number of Devils Lake resid-
ents and citizens of the second
district, at which the judge
was asked to resign, with the
alternative of impeachment
proceedings in the event that
his resignation was not forth
coming.
BY resolutions introduced to-
day, a board of managers of
five, to be appointed by Speak
er Hanley, is asked; said board
to. review evidence in question.
If it is deemed sufficient, the
house will be called upon to
exercise it's power in the mat
ter of impeachment, sending
the resolutions to- the Senate,
that body sitting as a trial
court. The impeachment trial,
should it be ordered, would not
be held until after the regular
legislative session.
1t has been understood about
the capitol for several days that
the impeachment resolutions
were to be introduced, Attorney
Divet of Wahpeton having been
here in the interests of the
movement.
Judge Cowan arrived in Bis
marck today in connection with
the affair. He has been Judge
eight years, succeeding Judge
Morgan, now chief justice of
the state. His last election
was two years ago.
The impeachment resolu-
tions were referred to a special
committee of seven, empower
ed to subpoena witnesses and
take evidence, reporting back
to the house before the fiftieth
day the evidence procured and
it's recommendations.
Signers of the petition ask
ing for impeachment were F.
p. Mann, w. A. Godward, J.
A. Haig, Dan V. Brennan, Joe
Bloom, L. ]. Wehe, Sever
Serumgard, r. Goer and Arthur

A Devils Lake Story.

Devils Lake, North Dakota,
February 7.-Close friends of
Judge John F. Cowan. against
whom impeachment proceed
ings have been talked, have
been putting forth strenuous
efforts the last couple of days
in an endeavor to induce him
to resign. A conference has
been held between the Judge
and close friends, familiar with
the charges which will be
made and the facts, at the con-
clusion of which he remained
undecided and left this after
noon for Bismarck. While it
has been an open secret here
for some time that imDeach-
ment proceedings would be
brought before the legislature,
the matter has caused CON
siderable surprise over the
state, since the movement is
backed by number of the
leading attorneys of the second
judicial district, and the civic
league of this city, as we'll as
number of prominent citizens.
The charges upon which i'm
peachment proceedings will be
based have not been given out,
but it is understood that when
the legislature starts an in
vestigation evidence will be
forthcoming which will create
a sensation not only in the
second judicial district, but
throughout the state. One of
the officers of the civic league
and one of the most prominent
business men of Devils Lake,
said today:
The movement to. impeach
Judge Cowan cannot be charged
to politics, personal prejudice,
or malice. Certain conditions
exist now and have existed for
a long time. which demand
investigation and correction.
It is serious matter to charge
any judge with conduct un-
becoming one holding such
position, and for this reason.

AS the prosecution had no other
witnesses the justice refused to
hold the defendant.
The crime was one of the
most diabolical ever committed
in North Dakota and it is hoped
that the guilty ones may be
brought to Justice.
