.MANDAMUS
CASE IS On
Action to Compel Mitchell to
Sign Bonds Heard
ARGUMENTS THIS FORENOON
CITY TREASURER TOOK AN Ac-
TIVE PART IN THE DISCUSSION
BUT THE JUDGE PREFERRED
TO HEAR HIS ATTORNEY
HEARING STILL ON.

The mandamus proceedings of the
city against Charles III. Mitchell city
treasurer, to compel him to certify
the filtration plant bonds, occupied
the greater part or the attention OF
the distric court oday.
The city based it's case upon the one
point, whether or not the city treas
urer should sign the bonds 1t did not
attempt to carry out any of the points
Of the law regarding the bonds
The attorneys for the municipality
arguel that the issue of the mere val
idity Of the bonds was sufncient to
cause the court to order the treasurer
to certify them. The defendant in his
answer had already admitted the val
idity Of the bond issue.
The counsel for the city spoke along
the line of the law as If there was
no difference between either side in
the Interpretation of tn statute and
that both held the same view of the
law.
At the conclusion of the argument
of the plaintiff Mr.. Mitchell arose
and asked the court If he could be
heard. The court replied that it was
question of law, to which the city
treasurer replied that he could ex-
plain 1t palmer than could his counsel.
The court stated that the legal end
of the hearing would be considered
first. The part then before the court
was purely question OF law and the
merits of the action would be con-
sidered as the case advanced.
Attorney Hildreth for the city treas
urer asked the court If it would be
fair to order q writ with the tendency
of an action Of Mr.. Price against Mr.
Mitchell, as a city official he thought
that it would be more just to hear the
case of Price VS.. city or Fargo, James
Kennedy, ct al, before deciding the
mandamus matter.
While the court was discussing tbs
answer of the city treasurer with the
latter's counsel, the defendant inter
posed at times. He did not care Il
have the impression go to the court
that he was In any way trying tt
handle the case of Mr.. Price agains
the city, and wanted 1t understood
that he did not want to so into the de-
tails leading up to the bond issue and
contracts for the fi1tration plant.
Little was accomplished during the
morning and the court adjourned un-
/ til this afternoon at 2 o'clock wher
the mandamus matters will again BIZ
considered. City Atty. w. H. Shure
and A. Lawrence of the firm OF Ball
Watson, Young & Lawrence, repre-
sent the city in the matter.

LOSES LIFE in
|. The "BIG MUDDY
STRANGER GOES TO uNExPEcT
ED DEATH WHILE BATHING
AT WILLEsTON.

winston, N. D.. sept s.-Friday
evening about . O'Clock occurred what
appears to be case Of accidental
drowning. The scene of the unfortu-
nate affair was at the river bank near
the railroad pumping station and the
intake pipe Of the city pumping plant
According to the information
gathered from all available sources
the facts appear to be that the man
in charge Of the G. N. pumping plant,
and a transient stranger were stand
ing at the tank, when, in the dusk
they noticed man a few rods up the
river disrobe and step into the water.
The pumphouse man, after a few mo-
ments returned to his engine and a
very few minutes later the man who
had been standing with him on the
bank rushed into the engine house
in state Of great excitement calling
for help and stating that man was
drowning in the river.
The engineer went with him to the
bank where they found an outfit OF
mems clothing but nothing could be
seen or heard Of the man to whom
they belonged. The police were called
by telephone but of course they were
powerless to do anything when they
reached the river as theer was not boat
or other means of attempting to take
the body from the river.
The stranger referred to went up
town in the auto that brought the po-
lice but his name was not learned nor
anything further Of his knowledge of
the man who had gone into the river.
After that the stranger disappear
ed.
In the clothes on the bank, which
were those Of a laborer, were found
several letters. Montana hunting Ii
cense and about 81 in cash. The
letters showed the man to be A. l.
Webster and his former place of resi-
dence. Billings, Mont. The letters
were evidently from his wife and a
sister. The hunting license gave a
| complete description and had been
made out to Al. L. webster, age AS
height five feet. four inches, weight
154 pounds, dark hair and mustache
and blue eyes.
The police sent dispatch to his
wife at Billings but through a mis-.
reading of the message by the opera.
| tor, the word drowned was made x
read around. This made the message
entirely misleading ais to its purpor
and the wife answered simply thai
/ the man was her husband. A Longer
and more explicit message was sen
her but up to the present no repl.
has been received.
The most plausible theory Of ths
case Is that Webster went into th,
river without knowing it's depth ol
