The Bismarck high school was de-
signed by Architect Arthur Van Horn,
and the construction work was per-
formed under the supervision Of H.
c. Rhud. The plumbing, heating and
ventilating was installed by the Fargo
Plumbing and Heating company, and
the furniture and fixtures were Sc
cured from "A. w. Lucas company. The
building has cost thus FAR So, 900, and
the fixtures $1,000. During the sums

probably be completed. This will in

thought practicable to break up the
work of the remaining weeks of the
school year by moving into the new
structure, but in the fall the new
term of high school work will begin
in the new building.

GUN TOT|NG" IS
 CAUSE OF CRIME
Sheriff McAd0ry States the Practice Is Very General
 in Jefferson County

'erhe carrying of concealed weapons Is one of the most prolific causes of crime, and it is this habit which has lately be- come of alarming generality throughout this country" said Sheriff W. K. Me- Adory yesterday. Tn almost every case where deputy sheriffs raid craps games and gambling places. two-thirds of tfpse arrested are found to be carrying con- cealed weapons"
 Sheriff McAdory spoke in particular of an z dent in the raiding of a poker game in a nearby mining camp late Sat urday evening. The sheriff had received information that a poker game was be- ing carried on in this camp regularly on Saturday nights, and last Saturday even ing decided to break it up. Five depu- ties in an automobile made the 25 mile trip, arriving at their destination about 10 o'clock. They were successful, and nine white men were placed under arrest. though allowed to go free on their cash bonds.
 Out of those nine men, seven were found to be carrying concealed pistols, said the sheriff. These men have the reputation of being professional gamb- lers, all men high in the affairs of the camp where the game was being held, It was a good catch that the deputies made. When they broke into the room, there was money and cards on the table and beer and whisky being served.
 Tt will go hard in the future with those on whom I find concealed pistols, for it is my belief that this one habit is one of the greatest causes of crime In this country. and it has been proven a fact that where we have found gamblers, also there were guns. Among tho gang which we arrested Saturday evening there was one justice of the peace, a gray haired man, and two noted murderers, one of whom is at present out on a S20O00 bond"

WHY LANE STOPPED
 SUNDAY MOVING
Against Law and Injustice to Other Transfer
 Companies

Commissioner of Public Justice A. o. interrupting the moving of the ten ants of the Brown Marx building Sun day which yesterday caused so much comment around town. Judge Lane stated that his reason was that it was direct violation of the law to move on Sunday, and that when he heard that Rates Transfer company was engaged in transferring articles from the Brown Marx building, he immediately sent policeman to the scene and warned them that 1t must be deferred until a week day.
 Judge Lane stated yesterday: '"The action of the transfer company was 8 direct violation of the law and I saw that it was stopped. Sunday q week ago. while sitting in my office at the city hall, I saw that the Harris Trans fer company was moving some one into the Dangaix building, and I per sonalIy informed the manager that he was violating the law and that 1t must be stopped. I allowed him to unload what was then on the wagon, but for bade him to haul more. Yesterday word came to me that the Rates Trans fer company was hauling office furni- ture from the Brown Marx building and sent Officer Ivey to that corner and ordered that 1t be stopped. This was not only according to the law which I had previously cited. but plain justice to the other transfer company"

 WITH BUSINESS

After several weeks spent in New Eng land and New York, W. M. Drennen, for mer mayor of Birmingham, returned home yesterday. He spent some time in Atlantic City and at various places met . large number of Birmingham people from time to time

MARTHA BELL IS
 LAWFUL WIDOW
Two Negro Women Principals in Suit to Secure Property of
 Deceased

For the second time after an inves- tigation by the court, Martha Bell, col ored has been adjudicated the lawful widow of John Bell over the claims of Willie May Bell, who contends she is the rightful widow of the deceased. The case was heard before Judge J.. r. Stiles of the probate court as an es- tate of a few hundred dollars is fn- yolved both women laying claim to 1t.
 The evidence showed that Bell had been married three times. Both women produced marriage certificates showing that they had been married to the de- ceased. but that of Martha Bell ante dated that of Willie May. That the deceased married Willie May while Mar tha was still alive was not denied, but the contention was that the mar riaee with Martha was unlawful, as the first wife was alive when 1t was entered into. This was denied by the attorneys for Martha and sufficient proof was introduced to show the death of the first wife was previous to the second marriage.
 Judge Stiles ruled that her mar riage with the deceased was lawfully entered into and that, therefore, she was the lawful widow and entitled to the estate. At the first hearing of the case he made the same ruling, but gave a second hearing on the grounds that additional evidence had been secured.

 have rambled over the civilized world
 am happy to get back again you
 might say. and dwell among these fai- ries who outclass the feminine inhabi- tants of the whole globe"
 Judge Allen was speaking to Billie Con
 mfr. bachelor, E. Wilkinson, married and few others about the fair sisters when without warning he landed upon cotton
 and said that the southern people had
 the greatest monopoly that ever existed if they only knew 1t.
 "Why cotton is not only king, 1t is queen also" exclaimed the noted lawyer
 as he gazed across the street where a
 matinee was just turning out it's crowd. Tn Europe they cry for it. We raise here over eighty per cent of the entire crop yet we have not sense enough to get money for it. If the south was any other country in the world we would get
 25 times as much money for our crop as we do get. The Englishman must have lit Why he turns out cloth over there
 made of cotton that he ships back here and our ladies had rather have it than
 silk. It is the greatest staple in all the world and in the south wes have the greatest natural monopoly that the world
 has ever seen if we only knew it. We should get. together down here and stop fighting each other and get more money for our cotton The greatest fortune that
 was ever garnered by man is within the
 reach of southern planters.
 "I attended session of a British cour. over which Lord Alverson was presid- ing" continued Judge Allen in reference to law. "The case was an ordinary land proposition but it was tried with the
 greatest dignity, dispatch and brevity. The whole place showed dignity and re- spect for law. There was no bailiff yell ing, set down, set down. or order in court stop talking or anything like that. The entire proceeding was very impressive.
 'They certainly handle their cases with great expediency. The attorneys there
 have no interruptions, there are few technicalities and few delays. The whole greatest efficiency The English courts
 are wonders of administration.
 "The Alabama courts should be re-
 formed and there should be found some- thing to apply here that would give us the results obtained there. The right of appeal here is fearfully abused and the whole business seems to be somewhat an tedated. I would that the time be speeded when we will have here less of the de- lays and auibblings that have been tieing down courts here for years"
 Judge Allen went through England, Scotland. Germany, Austria. Italy. Ire land and all states of any importance in Europe. He met M V. Joseph yesterday for the first time since leaving him in London.

The quotation that "hell has no fury like a woman scorned,' Is as familiar as it Is true. as many man who has played fast and loose with the affections of one or more of the fair creatures has found out to his cost. A woman will stand for many things, but to be openly slighted is not one of them. This fact was brought home to the Rev. Rastus Brown, the ool- ored pastor of one of the suburban churches when he essayed to play the dual part of an expounder of gospel truths and gay Lothario.
 On the docket of the police court yes- terday morning there appeared the names of Parson Brown and Minnie Cobbs. who were jointly charged with an affray; Julia Jones, the "tother woman in the case" was also present The evidence showed that the two defendants engaged

Tn fact. the scrap got so live ly that two young white men who were passing interfered, with the result that both participants landed in tho city ja'l and on the next day bade Judge Black a cordial good morning.
 The defendants did not deny the little disagreement, but each tried to lay the blanc on the other. The fair and chaste Minnie told tho full tale of the parsons perfidy and what she said about the col ored expounder of the gospel was a plenty.
