ance made of the defendant and iudg-
ment was given the plaintiff who

Is AFFIRMED
FAMOUS CASE OF LOCAL INTER
EST WHICH WAS TRIED BEFORE
THE COURT OF APPEALS OF
THE UNITED STATES AFFIRMs

Word was received in Fargo this
morning by Seth Richardson that the
case of Grace III. Vidal vs. Great

firmed by the United States circuit
court of appeals which is now sitting
In st. Louis. This case was heard be-
fore Judge Amidon just about a year
ago and damages for the sum of $10,-
900 was granted the plaintiff.
The hearing attracted a great deal
of interest, and because of the promi-
nence of the parties connected with
the suit for damages it was eagerly
watched from the opening until the
close. When the jury in Judge Ami
don's court gave verdict for the
plaintiff, the defendant appealed the
case to the higher court.
The attorney for the defendant and
Seth Richardson, of the firm of Bar
nett & Richardson for the plaintiff
then went to Denver, where they ar
gued the case before the United States
circuit court of appeals, which was
then sitting in. the Colorado capital

While Mrs. Vidal was riding in ar
automobile driven by her husband, DR.
James w. Vidal, the automobile APP
preached switching track of the de.
PENDANT, upon which the defendant was
engaged In moving a switching trair
consisting of an engine and severa

in charge of head switchman, named

When the automobile came within
about ten to twenty feet of the switch
ing track, the driver of the automobile
was ordered by Switchman Kofler t.

stopped, in a perfectly safe position
at least ten feet from the switching
track. The switching train was mo.
mentarily prior thereto brought to a

FARGO NOT TO Be
RE-ENUMERATED
CITY OF FARGO WILL GET NO RE-
ENUMERATION FOR 1910 CENSUS
SOME FACTS SHOWING THAT
THE CITY WAS NOT PROPERLY
TARULATED.

According to a letter just received by
Fl. c. Plumley, postmaster OF Fargo
and manager of The Forum, Fargo will
not be e-enumerated for the census
of 1910.
The letter is from V. v. Viles, the
acting director of the census bureau,
and states that he deeply regrets it If
Fargo has not been dealt with justly
in the taking of the census. but since
the population of the United States has
been announced it will be impossible
to make any changes in the official
returns of any place whatsoever, as to
do so would result in changing the
United States total and would throw
off the calculations of congress with
respect to the apportionment OF it's
members.
Certain very definite and pointed
circumstances in connection with the
enumeration Of Fargo have been cited
tie bureau, which go to show that the
census taken by the federal authorities
is not correct and was taken unjustly.
1t is believed by some of the most con-
sentative citizens of the city who have
taken the pains to thoroughly investi-
gate the local conditions and who are
in a position to know, that the popula-
ton of Fargo lies between $500 and
1900 people.
There have been a number of in
stances of prominent citizens of the
town, who literally had to almost fight
to have their enumeration taken. DR..
G. c.. Creegan, president of Fargo col
lege; Frank Anders, city engineer; Mr..
and Mrs. H. M. Talbot, Mr.. and Mrs.
Al Duggan, the family of j. E. Wilder
muth and others, are known to have
been sighted.
DIR. Creegan's case was duplicated in
number of instances in the taking of
the enumeration of Fargo. After wait
ing for days for some one to call at
the college or at the Waldorf, where
Dr. and Mrs. Creegan make their home,
the college president called up the
enumerators. asking that some one be
sent to take their names. No notice
was taken of this and President Cree
gan sent two more notes. but finally in
the last hour of the last day he made
q special trip in person to the emu
meration headquarters and finally per-
suaded the enumerator to enroll him
self and Mrs. Creegan.

We cannot judge a man by strength

We cannot judge a man by strength
Of arm,
But when man doth yearn to aid
mankind,
We know his heart is large and

We cannot Judge man by fowery

We cannot judge man by raiment

But he that lifts the fallen. helps them

We know his heart is good as gold
we cannot judge may by prayer OF

we cannot Judge man by wealth

But he that stints himself, his foe to

we know Christ lives within his

THAT HE IMPERsoNATED 4
REVENUE OFFICER, THIS MORN
ING BEFORE THE U. S. COURT
COMMISSION.

Charles Miller Of Mandan pleaded
guilty this morning of the charge OF
irving to impersonate a United states
revenue officer, when he appeared be-
fore the United States federal court
commission.
Last october Miller appeared at
several houses in Fargo which are 10
Gated in the region known as the
"hollow." and stated that he was
deputy internal revenue collector. he
hauled the occupants Of the houses
up before his own little court ana
had them pay him certain sums OF
money for not having certain Internal
revenue posters conspicuously placed.
This plan worked very well for TWO
of the houses, but the third house re-
fused to pay, and the local United
States marshal was called, VINO
promptly arrested the pretender. he
was hauled up in court and decided
to plead guilty of the charge. but then
changed his mind Since that time he
has been confined in the county bastlle.
Miller has a little record as having
served from thirty to sixty days in
the state insane asylum and is thought
by some to be of unsound mind. He
will be sentenced in the federal court
in the very immediate future.
