Imperfect and void Attorney Thorp
for the defense contended that the
bond did not comply with the statute,
end that the same was insufficient,
owing to the fact that II was signed
only by plaintiff. laboring man, ana
the stenographer in the Office of the
plaintiffs attorney, as surety.
Immediately thereafter a stipulation
was entered into, whereby defendan.
Paid a merely nominal sum to the
plaintiff, representing, 1t is understood
approximately one-twentieth OF the
amount sued for, and the case was en-.
tirely and fully settled out Of court.
1t appears that the defendant would
have been in a position TO advance n
large volume of testimony favorable to
his case, had the same been brought 10
trial, and the case would have been
an interesting one, not only on account
OF the sensational charges made, bur
because of several disputed questions
OF law which We're involved in the pro-
ceeding. A favorable settlement for
the defendant, however, was reached
without recourse to the courts.

ONE BIG OCCASION ON
FEB. Is.

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 1S.-From all
appearances Devils Lake will enter
tain, or perhaps be entertained by, the

a lively day, lots of good wholesome
fun. lots of music and lots of things
will happen that we will laugh over
for the next six months. More power
to the boys who belong to the EIks.
They are rare entertainers and the
city ought to see to it that they have
everything they want. We know they
won't abuse any privileges granted.
A special train will leave Grand
Forks at 10 a. m. and arrive here at
1890. No. 3 will have two special
cars attached, one from Fergus Falls
and one from Bemidji.
The Fargo special train will connect

Forks.
The Williston and Minot special
leaves Williston at a. m, Minot al
7:15 a. m, and Rugby at 9:45 a. m,
arriving here at noon.
There will be at least five bands of
music here besides our own band.
Everything possible is being done by
the resident Elks committee to see
that all the visitors are given thor
ough, home-like recognition.
Devils Lake wants all the visitors to
leave here with a good, warm spot in
their hearts for the best and most pro-
little city in the state.
