JUDGE ENCERUD ON ROBINSON
FOR SUPREME COURT JUDGE

TO the Voters of North Dakota:
At the coming election the most i'm.
portant office to be filed is that of
judge of the supreme court. It 10 a
non-partisan Office for which there
are two candidates-A. A. Bruce, who
is now holding the office, and j. l..
Robinson, an attorney of Fargo.
Mr.. Robinson has recently distriD-
uted pamphlet in support Of his can
didacy. In that pamphlet under the
little, keynote OF Judicial Reform he
misrepresents the procedure and WORK
Of the supreme court. Under the IT,
tie "story of q Simple Case" he
shamelessly misrepresents the facts
Of the case and ISLANDERS Judge Bruce.
The "simple Case" referred to BY
Mr.. Robinson was one with which |
became connected professionally az
ter it had been appealed the frs,
time. Inasmuch as know the facts
Of that case, all Of which are of rec
ord in the district court Of Rollette
county, N. b. feel 1t to be my duty
to the voters Of the state to make
known to them the real facts and re-
fute the slanderous misrepresenta.
tions put forth by Mr.. Robinson in
the pamphlet mentioned.
l feel confident that when the vot
ers know what the facts are they will
administer to Mr., Robinson the re
buke he deserves; and will agree with
me that he is unfit for the high Office
he Is seeking.

vanced to Blesset the money neces

Rlesset proved up in January, 1897;
and at that time owed Galloway 800
To secure 1t B1esset gave Galloway a
mortgage on the land for the S7OC,
agreeing to pay interest at per cent.
Rlesset disposed of all the chattel
mortgaged property shortly after
proving up and absconded to Canada.
He has never paid the debt or the
interest on It and never paid any Of
the taxes On the land, He had mean

have the land for the debt hut never
made the deed.
The land remained unoccupied un-
til the summer Of 1896 and no taxes

It to Turcotte, who was a nearby far

save the cost of foreclosure Gallo

Turcotte believing he had a goon
title broke up the land and farmed

NO DELAYS OVER CARS
King and Ferriter Victors in
Afternoon Match After
Hard Set-To.

Auto polo. under improved conditions,
made its temperance in Madison Square
Garden yesterday afternoon and last
night The first change was in the goal
posts, narrowed from u feet TO feet, so
that il was not at all an easy matter TO
score. The balls were harder and iivelier
and good, solid whack frequently sent
the sphere half way down the arena.
There was a battery of eight cars, all
differently colored, so that the delays
which marked the last game played IN
the Garden were absent. When car
broke down-and there were a dozen such
times in the course of the afternoon and
evening-there was another ready to so
on.
Auto polo under these conditions proved
far more attractive than previously. 1t
was a lively, hardfought contest III the
afternoon, with RoltZ King and Clyde
Ferriter taking an early lead. Two goals
were scored In the first ten minute period,
but Walter Sterling and Clarence Jack
son were not to be SO readily beaten.
Jackson's powerful arm was responsi-
BILE for several long drives that ultimate
ly resulted in this team scoring three
goals in the second period. With King
and Ferriter getting two goals in the
third to one for the other team. the score
was all square and each side also scored
a goal in the fourth.
In the final period, however. King and
Ferriter clinched the victory. King han
died his little machine in mastery fash
ion, while Ferriter tailed three goals, 10
win by a score OF to .. In the flnal
period Ferriter gave a fine exhibition OF
dribbling. once carrying the ball halfway
down the garden. In this session kins
ear nearly turned over.
King and Ferriter won the evening game
| by a score of IL 10 II. and only through
the most reckless playing in the tina
period Sterling and Jackson had scored
two goals in each OF the first three periods
and three in the fourth. while King and
Ferriter had made their goals in 3. l, /
| 2 order, leaving the total at the end OF
the fourth period 9 to in favor of the
| former.
King and Ferriter in a desperate at
tempt TO pull the game out OF the fire
of the fence at the west end OF the am
| phitheatre and put two cars out Of com
mission. Once during the final struggle
the opposing machines came together
with crash at the east end and the
steering gear of Sterling and Jackson
machine was badly damaged. Several
times the cars came within an ace OF
turning turtle. No less than six ma
chimes were used in last nights game.
