he saw 1t, was offensive. Sands seri-
ously meditated for an instant an at

and drop him down At least one flight

The tension Of the situation was re-
Taxed by the buzzing Of the electric

Sands maintained dignined silencs
as a pair Of bluecoats. stumbling over
bearskin rug in the library, came
into the suite. and at q sign from
Britz, seized the shrinking Orientals.
One by one the prisoners were lifted,
neck and heels, and taken to the pa

have had the bandages about their
feet removed, for II would have been
perfectly safe to let those sturdy 20

in the ordinary way; but Britt was
only human. The memory Of the grir
in which those very men had held him
in the ride along Riverside Drive. Of
the smothering solitude OF the desolate
apartment house. and the struggle
which had followed, came to him IN
the moment when he was on the point
Of ordering the unfettering Of the
captives. With a grin that strucl
terror to their cringing Eastern souls
he said to them:

that l guess I'll let you wear those
ornaments little while LONGER"

turned to Sands, and said with EN-

for long time that Sands was in love
with her. and on several occasions had
been perilously close to the necessity
OF accepting or rejecting him.

MURRAY and WEAR
BOTH CLEARED
U. s. ATTORNEY RECOMMENDED
TO COURT TO ADVISE JURY TO
RETURN VERDICT or NOT
GUILTY IN ALLEGED coNsPl-
O.
RAcY IN LAND CASE.

j. X. Murray and Bert Wear, both
OF Mott, who were the defendants in
the alleged conspiracy land case Just
finished in the federal court, were ex-
onerated of every accusation made
against them and the United States
attorney himself recommended the
court to advise the jury to bring in a
verdict of not guilty.
In making this recommendation to
the court, Judge Engerud, who prose-
cuted the case for the government,
said he had no faith in the case him-
self Inc could not argue 1t before the
jury. The jury returned a verdict OF
o guilty on advice of the court.
Tracy r. Bangs of Grand Forks ap-
peared for the defendants, who, it is
rumored, were the victims Of more OF
less of a political plot out in Hettinger
county, III. A. Jacobson was also inn
plicated in the case, and all the gem
tlemen are candidates for Office and
the case is said to have been malicious
ly instigated by enemies of the oppo-
sition political camp.
The evidence introduced by the pros
ecution was so insufficient that it was
clearly seer there were no grounds for
a case and the complete exoneratiou
of the gentlemen is taken by their
friends as a great victory.

Armed with hundreds of buttons fur
nished them by the commercial club
they passed these about in an endeavor
to secure the convention for next year
and the last word received from them
was to the effect: Fargo gets the
grand lodge of Odd Fellows for next
year."
This will be welcome news to the
people of Fargo, for this great frater-
nal organization will bring many peo-
pie to the city.
The city vas greatly honored by the
fact that Mrs. S. ]. Hill, Of this city,
was chosen as president of the state
Rebekahs, and they, too, will hold their
grand lodge in this city.
Messrs. Speer and Pollock did
valient service in securing the grand
lodge meeting here and Fargo will do
her utmost to give the visitors a
good time in June, 1913.

CLAIMED He USED
MAILS To DEFRAUD
p. A. MORGAN or GRAND FORKS
ACCUSED or USING UNITED
STATES MAIL FOR FRAupu-
LENT PURPosEs--HEARINe BE-.
GAN This MORNING.

Charged with using the United
States mail for fraudulent purposes
and for using the name OF a corpora
ton that was not in existence at
the time, p. A. Morgan faces trial
in the federal court this morning be-
fore Judge G. A. A1nidon. He is de-
Tended by III. ]. Bott, while Judge
Engerud is conducting the prosecu-
ton.
1t is alleged that Morgan inserted
an advertisement in some newspapers
in which he offered to instruct
women how to make from 50 to So
a day while at home. Those inter-
ested in the advertisement were told
they would get the information by
RENTING 25 cents to the defendant.
1t is claimed that Morgan received
several answers and that he replied
by sending a list of names of maya
zine publishers with the advice that
the women write the publishers ask
ing for the agency of the magazines
IN order to take subscriptions.
1t Is further charged that the de-
PENDANT used the name of The Morgan
Manufacturing Co. in his advertise
n1ents and there was no such company
in existence at that time. The ac-
ton was brought on the complaint OF
Miss Agnes Matthews of Minneapo-
lis, who was one to answer the adj
vertisement. The defendant says that
he is innocent of the postal laws ana
that it was not his intention to de-
fraud anyone, but acted solely in good
faith in the matter.

SOMETHING USEFUL.
FOR ALL READERS.
SOME SAY 1T is WORTH IT'S
WEIGHT in GOLD AND ALL ARE
MORE THAN PLEASED WITH 1T
-WHAT2-THE FORUM BIBLE,
OF COURSE.
I-aaNsi
What DO You suppoge it IS?

What is it?
What do you suppose it is?
There r many useful things. but
weight in gold.
This is not Intended to be a guess
ing contest" so you r to be given
the answer at once.
The one thing known to be useful to
every family is the new kind of Bible
which The Forum & Republican Is pre-
senting to its readers on the popular
plan explained in the certificate print
ed elsewhere in this issue.
The reason for calling it a ''new
kind is because 1t is entirely different
from others in that something like 500
"eye-teaching" pictures adorn its
pages. These pictures have been made
alone for this great work. They cost
more than $4,000, and the publishers
brought together the worlds greatest
artists for the purpose. Each picture
brings out a point In the particular
verse illustrated and makes it plain
to the reader.
This explains why 1t is useful. Some
Bibles r said to be illustrated" when
they contain only a few meaningless
pictures. But the illustrations in The
Forum & Republican Bible are printed
in with the type and accompany the
subject illustrated. In addition Ia
these text illustrations there are
numerous full page color plates from
the world famous Tissot. collection
making this in all a useful gallery OF
art of the rarest educational value tc
everybody.
A reader who got it the other day
says it is worth it's weight in gold
Praises come from all sources and ev-
erybody that sees it is pleased with
it. You can have it IL you clip today'S
certificate and follow the directions
