LAND TRADE CASE
Decided by Judge Smith Death
of Both Principals in
the Deal

Alexandria. Nov. THE decision
by Judge Frank Smith in the Smith
1ingles case tried here at the last term
OF the state circuit court, was received
by Attorney Van Denmark during the
past week. and is in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. r. G. Gingles Il Son.
The outcome OF this case was watched
with much interest here, both parties
to the action being we'll known and
proninus. residents Of the county.
The particulars of the case recite
that during the month of June. 1910,
the real estate firm of 4. c. Gingles
e. Son traded to Rosslle Smith. a farm
or of this county, a full section Of
land located in North Dakota. and re-
ceiving therefor 100 acres Of land in
this county and 40 head of registered
Brown Swiss cattle. Two months
after the deal was contaminated,
Smith died.
The action was begun In November,
1911. by the Smith estate and sought
to annul the deal on the ground Of
misrepresentation on the part Of the
Gingles company respecting the cash
value CT the North Dakota land.
The case was docketed for the June
term of court. During the term and
before the case was called. the death of
r. 9. Gingles. a member OF the de-
fendant firm, occurred. and q special
term Of the court wal appointed for u
later date at which the case was heard.
The claim Of fraud was contended
by the plaintiff on the ground that
the trade was made without seeing the
land and ON the strength of Mr.
Gingles' recommendation, and that he
misrepresented both us to quality and
value. This contention was met by
the defense with evidence showing
that Mr.. Gingles not only told the
plaintiff he had neve seer the land
himself. but told exactly what II
cost him snd what he believed ID to
be worth. but advised Smith to go him
self or send someon 10 look at the land
before closing the deal.
The decision OF the court was that
no fraud or misrepresentation was
proven.

DEATH OF COL. HARRY MOON
Retired Army Officer Whose Wife
Was a Brownsville Girl.

News has been received here of
the death of Col. Harry B. Moon, U.
S. army, retired, which occurred at
Washington, d. c., Sept. 2. Col,
Moon was well known in Browns
vile, where he was stationed former
ly, and also on account of the fact
that his wife was a Brownsville girl.
Soon after his graduation at West
Point, he came to Fort Brown, being
then a lieutenant in the goth u. s..
Infantry. This was over thirty years
ago.. Here he met Miss Rita Michel,
the daughter of the late A. J. Michel,
who was formerly county treasurer
and afterwards collector OF customs
of this port. After a short courtship,
she became his bride. She now sur
wives him, with three children, two
daughters and a son. Col. Moon
rose steadily in the service until he
reached the rank Of colonel. He was
engaged in active service during the
Spanish-American war, and in a
battle in the Philippines received a
very severe wound which incapaci-
tated him and resulted in his retire
ment from the service several years
ago. His death resulted from typhoid
fever.
Not only did Col. Moon rank high
as an army officer, but as a man he
also won the esteem and admiration
of those who knew him. News of his
death is received with genuine sor-
row, by the old friends of himself
and his wife's family here. Since
his retirement, the colonel and his
family have resided at Washington.
A sad feature of this event, and
one which occasions great concern
on the part Of their friends here, is
that Mrs. Michel, Mrs. Moons
mother, who resides now in New
Orleans, is reported very i'll and in
quite a critical condition, at her
home there. Owing to her condition,
it has been necessary to conceal from
Mrs. Michel the news of the death Of
her son-in-law, to whom she was
greatly attached.

h0NAN SURGEONS PERFORM
An UNUSUAL OPERATION

Last Sunday DR.. Fuhrer, as
sisted by Drs. Putney and Hall,
performed a surgical operation
of a delicate and unusual nature.
1t was in the setting of a badly
broken leg for John Valley who
received a double compound frac-
ture of the right leg the day be-
fore. The accident occurred while
Mr.. Valley and his wife We're on
their way to St. Ignatius to get
their children who have been
attending the Sisters school at
that place. When near Post
creek the team became unmanag-
able and both occupants of the
buggy were thrown out, Mrs.
Valley being quite severly bruised
but no bones broken and Mr..
Valley the injuries above stated.
He was taken on to the Mission
where DR.. Mathews attended his
injuries temporarily, Mr.. Valley
wishing to be taken to Roman for
the reduction of the broken
bones.
DR.. Fuhrer was called ana af-
ter consultation with Drs. Putney
and Hall it was decided to place
steel plates on each side of the
leg, screwed into the bone above
and below the fracture, to Sc
curely hold the bone in place
while knitting. 1t was necessary
to secure the plates for this pur-
puse and DR.. Fuhrer went to the
blacksmith shop and forged them
himself, and in the afternoon
they began the work. 1t took
them from 3 to 7 O'Clock to do
the work in an entirel y satisfac-
tory manner. Mr.. Valley was
under the influence of chloroform
for nearly four hours and came
through in as good condition as
possible under the circumstances.
Mrs. DR.. Fuhrer and Mrs. John
Bailey, both professional nurses
also assisted, the latter being in
charge at present.
The injured man is at the
Sterling Hotel and will probably
remain there until it is safe to
remove him to his home.

SUPREME COURT SETS
HENRY CLA|RMONT FREE

A special from Washington, to
the Sentinel, dated June II says:
Henry Clairmont a Flathead Ir-
dian, convicted in the United
States district court for Mont
ana of introducing liquor into the
Flathead reservation, had his
conviction reversed by the su-
preme court today with orders to
the lower court to quash the
indictment and release him.
Clairmont was arrested on a
Northern Pacific train with liquor
in his possession. Justice Hughes
who gave the opinion, held that
the Northern Pacific right-of-
way, where Clairmont was taken,
is not Indian land" within the
meaning of the law under which
he was convicted, and that he
was not indicted for attempting
to introduce, but for introducing
liquor. The law of 1884 was
cited to show that Indian lands
are the ones where Indian title
has not been extinguished.

STEAM ROLLER IS WORKING

The republican national COM
nlittee at Chicago is working rap
idly and up to yesterday morning
had decided 13O out Of the 25O
contested seats. Of this number
Alabama 16, Arkansas 16, Florida
10, Georgia 2S, Indiana II. Ken
lucky II, Arizona 6, Louisiana 90,
and California 2, were given to
Taft ard ere CD from Kentucky
y Roosevelt. This makes 129
for Taft ard l for Roosevelt.
Although California voted for
Roosevelt by II, eco majority the
national committee unseatcd two
Roosevelt men from the Fourth
congressional district and seated
Taft men.
The Roosevelt men are very
sore and Senator Borah of Idaho
says the committee is making
it impossible for a republican to
preside over the nation for the
next four years. 5"
Governor Johnson, another
Roosevelt man from California,
says the trial is being presided
over by the thief who stole the
goods. "
In the meantime the Taft men
are going right ahead with their
program and it looks now as if
the contests would all be decided
in favor Of Taft regardless of
consequences. 1t also looks like
he might be nominated, but
there is still hopes that third
man may be selected and the
party have a fighting chance to
win. With Roosevelt and Taft
both eliminated, the factions
might get together and name a
man who would have a show of
being elected, but neither of the
two leaders in the race could
possibly be elected.

Almost Lost a Finger.

Last Friday Charles Weaver a
purchasing agent for a Spokane
hide firm was in Roman ard
while tying some hides met with
an accident which almost re-
suited in his losing a finger. He
had tied one hide and was using
a steak knife to cut the string
when another hide fell down and
drove the knife through his hand
severing both tendons of his little
finger. DR.. Fuhrer was called
and assisted by DR.. Putney they
made an incision and drew the
tendons together, and after
stitching them in such a manner
as to secure them in place, band
aged the injured member. The
finger was useless as if he did
not have it while the tendons
were separated but will be all
right with proper care.
