negro WAS INSISTENT
Willie Williams Said He Wasn't Drunk
Nor DisordsrIy and Asked to
be Released.

Willie Williams, colored, pleaded not
guilty this morning in police court to
the charge Of being drunk and disor-
Derby on the north bridge last night,
when he was picked up by the police.
He denied the charge fatty, though it
is said he was exercising his lungs last
night to their fullest extent while he
was under the influence of liquor.
Williams gave Duluth as his adj
dress and said he was on his way to
Grand Forks where he had been engage
ed as a harvest hand in the fields near
there. He declared he was not drunk
but on the contrary was absolutely Sob
er and asked to be released.
Judge Miller at first continued his
hearing until Monday morning at 10
o'clock, fixing the negro's bail at SIS,
In default Of which he had to remain in
jail. After the hearing of the other
delinquents, Williams asked again to be
heard by the magistrate, and stated
that the accusation was an unjust one,
and begged to be allowed to go his way.
He protested strongly and said lie was
not drinking man. Promising he
would leave the city at once, rhe mag
istrate permitted him to 90.
Two other delinquents were hauled
up before Judge Miller Thomas Hall,
g gray haired man, was there on the
charge Of drunkenness and for begging

MITCHELL PAYS
ON SHURE'S ADVICE.
CITY TREASURER PAYS WAR
RANTS FOR FILTRATION SITE
WHICH HE HELD Up WEpNEs-
DAY, ON ADVICE or CITY AT
ToRNEY--PRAIsEs sHuRE.

On advice Of the city attorney, w. II.
Shure. who rendered an opinion on
the matter at the request Of city
Treasurer Mitchell, the latter Official
has paid the warrant for $3.50 for the
purchase Of four lots in south Park
addition ordered by the city council,
which he declined to pay when pre-
sented to him wednesday afternoon.
AT the last session of the city coun-
Gil last Monday night, the aldermanic
body ordered the purchase Of lots
l6, z. and 9, in South Park addition
as additional property for the site
of the new municipal filtration plant.
The total amount of the warrants
was $3.50. and was voted on the rec
ommendation Of the finance committee.
On Wednesday afternoon when the
warrants were presented for payment
at the city treasurers office, Mr..
Mitchell refused to pay them until he
had an official opinion on the matter
from the city attorney. His conten-
ton was that notice had been served
on him that he could not pay sEy
bills for the construction Of the new
filtration plant while the suit Of w.
J. Price against the city was pend
ing.
In order to relieve himself of any
responsibility in the matter, city
Treasurer Mitchell asked for Mr..
Shure's opinion, and one from SIAM
baugh & Fowler, attorneys for the
plaintiff in the injunction suit. Mr..
Shure spent two days in looking up
the matter and yesterday afternoon
rendered the treasurer his opinion,
which freed him or his bondsmen Of
any responsibility. The opinion of
w. s. Stambaugh, Of the firm STAN
baugh & Fowler, Mr.. Mitchell stated
to a Forum representative, concurred
with that of the city attorney, so that
he paid the warrants this morning.
The summary OF City Attorney
Shure's opinion was:
"Hon. C. H. Mitchell, City Treas
urer. Fargo N. d.; / am of the opin-
ion that you, as city treasurer, are
assuming no personal liability what
soever i'm honoring any and all war
rants authorized by the council and
regularly issued by the proper officer
of the city. / am inclined to believe,
that you might be liable on your bond
by refusing to pay warrants that are
authorized by the city council and
issued by the proper officers of the
city. (Signed)
'tW. Fl. Shure, City Attorney"
Said Mr.. Mitchell. in speaking of the
opinion, during the years I have been
city treasurer, have frequently re-
quired the opinions of numerous city
attorneys, many of which have often
times disregarded, however, Mr.. Shure
has taken considerable pains AMI
spent two days in carefully looking
up the statutes and authorities. an5
lit is one OF the best have ever re-
ceived."
Mr.. Stambaugh, attorney for Mr..
Price, plaintiff in the suit, handed City
Treasurer Mitchell virtually the same
opinion in substance.

TAKEN TO AITKIN, MINE..
Man Who Issued Bogus Checks Taken
to Aitkin Where He is Wanted on
Other Charges.

J. M. Thompson, the crippled man
who issued the bogus checks in the city
this week and whose conduct while in
jail has been puzzling the police de-
partment, was taken to Aitkin, Mimi,
where he is wanted on the charge Of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Chief Bowers took the man and ex-
poets to return to the city tonight.
Thompson went under another name at
Aitkin, that of c. w. Blake. At FIT.
Wayne Ind, he is known as Hunt
Camparet, fact learned through the
State Bankers association.
He appeared very glad when he knew
he was going to Aitkin and said he
would like to get into the penitentiary
SO he could rest. While here he said
and did very queer things, which
caused some to believe he was of I'M
sound mind.

Y. M. c. A. BOYS
STRANDED in N. D.
THREE CARS OF MEN FROM GIN
cINNATl Y. M. c. A. WHO CAME
TOO EARLY-ARE WORKING AT
HERE FOR HARVEST ARRIVED
ANYTHING THEY CAN FIND.

Three cars of young men sent out by
the Cincinnati Y. M. G. A. arrived in
this part of the country two weeks ago
and are now scattered all over in diff
ferent parts of the state without money
and with small chances of securing
work until harvest opens. There have
been about twenty of the young men
in this city for the past two weeks and
the local association has endeavored
to secure work for them and look after
them as best they could
1t seems that the Y. M, G. A. OF
Cincinnati, o.. got about 100 Of these
young men to come up in this country
for the harvest and made good pro-
position to those who Joined the harv-
est crowd. The association Of that city
offered to give a membership and a
ticket to North Dakota for the sum of
$22. c. A. Norton, who managed the
undertaking had no trouble In getting
together a sufficient number to make
three cars, as he had managed like
excursion two years ago, but with much
more success.
The special cars were secured for
about $3.50 and about s24O was paid to
secure employment for the men when
they arrived here. They came as far
as Wahpeton, where they alighted to
seek their fortunes on bonanza wheat
nately, they arrived about two weeks
ahead of time and are now stranded
all over the Red river valley.
Mr.. Wolf, general secretary of the
local association, said this morning
that several people Of this city and
Of other cities in this section of the
country were under the impression
that 1t was the Fargo Y. M. C. Al.
that had brought these men into the
country Mr.. Wolf wishes it made
known to the public that the local
association had nothing whatever to
do with the matter. re lis true, every
thing possible was done to aid the
men that are here In finding work
and in helping them In any way pos
sible. But as far as bringing them
here. they had nothing to do with 1t.
I'VE have written the Cincinnati
association" said Mr.. Wolf, and re-
primanded them very severely for UNI
dertaking the proposition. 1t was re-
ported that they have sent out another
car of men. III that Is the case, we
will take the matter up with the ma
tional ocices and have something
done about the matter. They are a
good class OF men and it Ii d shame
to send them up into this part OF the
country without looking into the
proposition more thoroughly"
Some OF the men from Cincinnati
are married and have families. Others
are painters. one Or two are travel

ACTIVE HOLIDAY TRADE.
Better Tone Is Noticeable in Iron and
Steel Market.

New York. Dec. 16.-Bradstreet's
says:
Two features stand out prominently
in the weeks trade news-admitted-
ly active holiday trade at most leading
points and the undeniably better un-
dertone in iron and steel, price adj
vances being significant in connection
with finished steel. On the other
hand. trade in other lines has receded
G little.
In fact a general survey indicates
that the weather has been too mild
for free distribution of seasonable
goods at retail, while jobbing trade
has been confined mainly to filling in
orders for fancy articles suitable to
holiday requirements and wholesale
business reflects the influences of the
inventory season.
Incidentally, clearance sales of staple
goods at retail are being pressed at an
earlier date than usual.

Ethel Conrad and Lillian Ora.
ham Are Acquitted.
Jury Requires Only IS Minutes
to Consider Case.

New York, Dec. 15.-TiIIian Graham
and Ethel Conrad, the show girls
charged with shooting w e. ID. stokes,
the millionaire hotel man, were ac-
quilted by the jury this afternoon after
IS minutes deEiberation.
New York, Dec. 16.-The jury in
Ethel Conrad in connection with the
shooting of w. E. d. Stokes retired at
AIS o'clock Justice Marcus with
drew the charge of attempted murder
against the girls at the request of the
district attorney. leaving only the
charge of assault in the first degree
and in the second degree for the jury
to consider.
The Summing Up
All that was left of the trial was
Buckner and Justice Marcus charges to
the jury. They are sanguine of acquittal.
The very worst they or their attorneys
look for is conviction of some minor de-
gree of crime. The indictment contains
three counts attempted murder assault
in first and in the second degree.
Twenty years imprisonment is the max
inum term possible for the greatest of
these crimes. If the jury finds them gull
might escape with a few months i'm
prisonment or their sentences might be
suspended altogether.
Yesterdays reports, it is now learned,
rather exaggerated the gravity of Mr..
Stokes condition. While his recovery is
slow it was said today that he was in
no immediate danger.
