witnesses, chiefly shoemakers, were ex-
amined by the prosecution to estab-
lish the proof Of the Indictment and the
chief feature of interest at this time
in their testimony is the manner in
which the word "scabO was frequent.
ly used to express precisely its modern
meaning. The defense summoned ten
witnesses and after arguing by counsel,
the recorder delivered his charge to the
jury.
Judge Levy's instructions in this
case in 1906 is certainly interesting
reading to all who are concerned in
labor's uplift at the present day. Many
of the things which this Philadelphia
judge of los years ago told that Phila.
delphia jury might shed some light on
the present day issues. But there were
other doctrines laid down by Judge
Levy on this occasion which the coun-
try has ontgrown.
Especially so was the approving ref
erence to the dictum Of Chief Justice
Mansfield of England as applied to
this case, that, broadly speaking, an
act which was lawful on the part Of an
individual is rendered criminal by
confederacy to effect it. ...

ANOTHER CASE INVOLVING RUG.
BY BANKER IN PROGRESS
DISPUTE NOTE.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 30.-An
Andy Jones transaction is being aired
in the district court of Grand Forks
county this afternoon, being brought to
light in the case of the Grant County
State bank of Hermann, Mimi, against
the Northwestern Land company Of
Rugby, N. D.
The case involves a note for 1880
on loan made by the plaintiff bank
to the land company, being negotiated,
it is claimed, by Andy Jones as treas
urer Of the land organization. That
Mr.. Jones was without authority to
contract such loan is the claim of
the defendant corporation.
The loan was made IN 1908, accord
ing to the complaint. When present
ed for payment the land company re-
fused to honor it, holding that the loan
made by Mr.. Jones was not binding
against the company.
The land company had its offices at
Rugby, in the Jones bank. Mr.. Jones
is at the present time residing in Fort
Leavenworth as guest of the federal
department of justice.
Tn the case now in progress, Purcell
IS Divett appear as representatives for
the plaintiff, and Bangs, Cooley 6; Ham
ilton of this city for the defendant.

TABLES TURNED WITH CoNDuC.
TOE ON THE FINISH Oh HIS
BUN TO WILLIsToN.

Backward, turn backward, Oh Time
in Thy Flight" the old saying which
has always been considered an impos-
sibility by the wis esages of the past
was realized by Conductor Rundell on
the expiration Of his run over the div
ision to Williston on the night Of New
Years eve.
Conductor Rundell pulled his train
into Williston at 1925 January LIST.
1912, and in ten minutes was on the
other side Of Williston, the time being
l1:35, December 81, 1911. It is feat
that is seldom accomplished when a
man can leave an old year behind him,
step into the new one and little later
60 back for retrospect. The time
changing at Wflliston from central
time to mountain time, made the thing
possible. Whether Conductor Rundell
found anything to do over again after
he returned to the old year can only
be ascertained by conversation with
him, as he gave no information of this
sort to the representative of The World.

APARTMENTS OF THE LANDLORD
WERE RECENTLY FITTED UP
WITH NEW FURNITURE.

The fire department was called out
Sunday morning in answer to an alarm
turned in from the Colonial hotel and
quickly extinguished the flames by
their efficient work.
Mrs. Gray was busy cleaning some of
her garments in their private rooms,
using gasoline to sponge with and an
electric iron to do the pressing. After
sponging the garment she turned on
the electricity to the iron and as soon
as she did SO the spark jumped into
the pan of gasoline that was sitting
near by and ignited it, the flames
spreading quickly to the room.
While the damage done was confined
entirely to the two room sof Mr.. and
Mrs. Gray it will run into quite a sum
of money, as they had fitted up the
room with entire new furniture less
than a week ago and this was total
loss.

AN INTERESTING CASE IN PHIL.
ADELPH1A ONE HUNDRED AND
FIVE YEARS AGO.

Boston Globe: A pamphlet of 100
pages that was printed in 1906 by B.
Graves at 40 North Fourth street and
which has recently fallen into the DOS.
session Of the Boston public library,
is Of special interest to all who are en-
gagged in the movement Of organized
labor.
The volume as the story is told on its
hyleaf, purports to be shorthand ac-
count of the proceedings in "The Trial
of the Boot and Shoe Makers of Phila.
delphia on Indictment for a Combina-
ton and Conspiracy to Raise Their
Wages. Taken in Shorthand by Thos.
Lloyd.'
1t is doubtless surprise to most
readers to learn that as far back as
lbs years ago, in the proverbially slow
town of Philadelphia movement of
this kind was in active existence and
that he shoe makers of William Penn g
city had perfected an organization
with which to antagonize capital-or,
stated in another way, to secure for
the organizers and members of this
first of the labor unions, a living wage
for their work.
The stenographer, Thomas Lloyd, ded-
icates his volume in the following fash.
ion:
"To Thomas Mexican, governor, and
the general assembly of Pennsylvania
is dedicated the report of the most in
teresting law case which has occurred
in this state since our revolution
with the hope of attracting their par
ticular attention to the next meeting
of the Legislature.
"It is better that the law be known
and certain than that it be right.
"With respect I am, fellow citizens,
your most obedicnt Thomas Lloyd. /"
The pamphlet was uuly copyrighted
as was the custom in those days, by
depositing copy of its title in the
office of the clerk of the district court
of the United States and the book was
placed upon the market at the rate of
seventy-fve cents per copy.
This particular copy at the public H.
brary was once the property of "Pet-
er Robinson" whoever he may have
been and wherever he may have liv-
ed, as Peter Robinson's sign manual
under date of May 81, 1907, appears on
the upper right hand corner of the
front cover.
The offense as shown by the title
was conspiracy to raise the wages of
the shoemakers of Philadelphia and
to answer to the indictment George
Pulls and five more of his associate
shoemakers were brought to the bar of
the mayors court The court was apen-
ed by Recorder Levy. Mayor Inskeep
was also on the bench. So were Alder
men Petit Douglas and Carswell. The
members of the jury consisted of three
tavern keepers and three grocers and
the remaining six represented other oc.
equations. Jonathan Wharton, shoe.
maker, who was drawn in the venire,
was excused for obvious reasons.
The counsel on both sides were some
of the most conspicuous men in their
profession. For Jared Ingersoll and
Joseph Hopkinson appeared for the
prosecution while Caesar Rodney and
Walter Franklyn looked after the in
terests Of tho shoemaker. Thirteen

An item which comes from Portland
Oregon, which appeared in the Oregon
ian Of that city, IS of, special interest
in Devils Lake since G. g. Klingel, Who
was visitor here directly after the
Spanish American war, when he was:sta
member Of the crew Of the Oregon, 10
. son Of Rev. H. 9. Klingel and :
brother Of Arthur Ningel, who are
now engaged in farming in Cato town
ship near the city. The item follows:
G. G. Klingel, member Of the Port
land police force, ct present on . six
months leave Of absence, was danger
ously stabbed in the side at about II
o 'clock this morning while attempting
to arrest two men who had created Z
disturbance in the Anacortes rooming
house, Fifth and Stark streets, where
Klingel has rooms.
G. w. Williams is held at police head
quarters on a charge Of assault with
dangerous weapon, and Edwin Auburn
is under arrest for disorderly conduct
and is also held as witness in tho
stabing ARRAY.
Williams and Auburn, with two wo-
men, went to the oming.house short
~ after midnight and created such .
disturbance that the landlady, Mamie
Gordon, telephoned the police to eject
them. Klingel, who was awakened BY
the disturbance, tried to quiet them
when both men attacked him. Klingel
fought the two men out Of the house, to
the curb, and for about twenty yards
down the street, trying, he said, to hold
both men until other police arrived.
Then Williams stabbed him, said King
Ell. Almost at the same moment Motor
cycle Patrolman Maddux arrived from
police headquarters and arrested both
men.
The injured policeman was taken to
st. Vincent hospital where it was found
the knife had penetrated the right side
below the last rib, cutting a wound
about four inches long and almost as
deep. Although he was greatly weak
ened by loss of blood, surgeons believe
he will live.
Klingel had obtained leave of alb
sence from the city to perfect his title
to Montana land claim.
