BUT VAUDEVILLE COUPLE GO ON
AND DO ACT, HIDING BRIEF
BEHIND MASK OF STAGE.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 26.-That smil-
ing countenance may hide an aching
heart, was never better exemplifed
than yesterday afternoon and evening
at the Orpheum theatre when Mr.. and
Mrs. Stevens, whose theatrical team
name is Stevens & Bacon, were caper-
ing about the stage amusing the people
with their clever singing, dancing and
dialogue.
No one knew it but their hearts were
almost breaking while they were doing
their act. Shortly before going on,
Mr.. Stevens was handed a telegram by
Manager Webster Of the theatre, which
he opened, grew pale, as the tears came
to his eyes, and he handed it to his
wife. The telegram read:
"Your baby died this morning"
The little one, six months old, had
been left with the parents of the cou.
pie in Chicago while they took up their
theatrical work. The child had been
ailing but the parents did not think
the condition was serious.

was not crook.
States Attorne yDuell stated that
whatever the man might be at home
it was evident that he could get ref

would not mean that when he got away
from home that. he was respectable and

Lakota, N. D., Aug. PA decision
has just been handed down by Judge
Templeton at Grand Forks, n. d., in
the case of Simon Schmid of Bartlett,
N. D., against the Receiver of the de-
funct Peoples State Bank of lakcta
for the plant in tho full amount in.
>o!ved, which was $5l2. The facts in
the case were rather peculiar and made
the matter somewhat complicated. 1t
SENS that about year before the
bank failed Mr.. Schmid borrowed this
amount of money and signed note
for the same which he thought was due
to the Peoples State Bank when in
fact the note ran to the Bank of PEEK
ill.,. who were really making the loan
through the Peoples Bank. When the
note was due shortly before the fail
ure of the Peoples State bank, Mr..
Schmid sent them check for tho
amount of the note and interest and it
afterwards turned out that instead Of
paying the note the Peoples State
bank sent the check to the Security
bank Of Minneapolis and had it placed
to their credit there. Then the bank
failed and Mr. Schmid found that his
check had been cashed and the note
unpaid. He then brought action
against the Receiver and the decision
which has just been rendered in his
favor makes a Judgment for the full
amount due him a lien on certain col
lateral paper that was returned to the
Receiver from the Security bank CT
Minneapolis and this will result in the
full amount being paid instead OF !.
few cents on the dollar, which is all
that will be paid on the general claims
against tn defunct bank.
John j. Samson of Devils Lake ard
Scott Rex of Grand Forks appeared for
the plaintiff, Mr.. Schmid; and SEQ. A,
Bangs Of Grand Forks for the defen-
ant. the Receiver of the Peoples State
bank of Lakota.
