Es IN JUSTICE COURTS.

Co. Atty. N. /. Johnson has complet-
ed the abstract Of the criminal busi-
ness of Clay county for the year 1911,
for the transmission pursuant to law
to the attorney general Of Minnesota
which must be fled within a specified
time after the close OF the year. Mr..
Johnson says that taking everything
into consideration and the fact that
Moorhead, the county seat, is the
trysting place for a very large itin-
Grant travel of the class OF men who
are more or less prone to be violators
of the law, the showing for the county
is not such that should provoke much
reflection.
There were twenty five cases taken
before the district court of which there
were nineteen convictions, one ac-
quittal and at the end of the year there
were ive cases pending. OF the latter
cases three defendants awaiting trial
in the county Jail entered pleas of
guilty on Dec. 80 and they were SEN
fenced by Judge Nye, Jan. 2, this year,
so that the disposition Of those cases
will be included in Mr. Johnson's re-
port a year hence. The justice courts
in the county disposed Of 108 cases of
which there were eighty-seven con-
victions, two acquittals, one pending
and eighteen dismissals. The total
costs taxed amounted to $1,056; hnes
assessed, S~1,605.22; amount paid,
$s44.s6-the costs taxed includes COSTS

accuracy is requested in the present.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Evenina Grain Lstter.

Chicago. Jan. 6.-Wheat: The mar
ket opened steady to a shade easier.
and has ruled within narrow limits
throughout the session, the undertone,
however, being firm. The local crowd
were inclined to lay for a reaction,
but offerings were not heavy and were
absorbed chiefly by commission houses.
Southwestern markets continue to rule
strong with very moderate receipts.
Our visible supply statement OF Mon
day next will show a very liberal de-
crease, and we continue to feel friend
ty to the long side Of the market.

MARCUS WHITMAN's ENERGY.
1t Saved Washington and Oregon te
the United States.

" SdNS6 washington aO0 SFG9VH 70
the United States.
New York Herald: But for the
foresight, it is said, Of a missionary
this country would nave traded OFF,
to Great Britain hat immense terri
tory that now forms two Of the great
est states Of the northwest-Oregon
and Washington.
Marcus Whitman had crossed the
plains and the mountains to Oregon,
and knew, from a years residence, the
value of the country. He also knew
that the Hudson Bay Co. was anxious
to obtain possession OF the whole
northwest, and had circulated the re-
port that it vas impossible for emil
grants to cross the mountains in wag-
ons.
At a dinner given in 1912, at which
DR.. Whitman and several Of the COM
pany's chief officers Were present,
news was received that a band oil
British emigrants had crossed the
mountains. Toasts were drunk in
honor of the event. "Now the Ameri-
cans may whistle; the country is ours!s
one of the Englishmen is reported to
have exclaimed jubilantly.
But Dr.. Whitman thought other
wise. The next day he started for
Washington on horseback. He made
the journey in winter, and with frozen
limbs called on Daniel webster, then
secretary of state. Upon his presenta-
ton of the situation Whitman was
gruff1y told by Webster that the coun
try was worthless, and that he, as
secretary of state. was about to trade
that worthless region for valuable
concessions with reference to the New
foundland fisheries.
Finding that a treaty had already
been approved by the senate and was
awaiting formal ratification by Presis
dent Tyler, DR.. Whitman sought the
president. When the missionary had
finished his story, the president said:
"Sir, your frozen limbs attest your
sincerity. Can you take emigrantS
across the mountains in wagons?"
"Give me six months and I will take
1000 across answered the doctor.
IF you take them across" added
Tyler, "the treaty shall not be rati
fed"
In 184S a band of emigrants under
the guidance of the doctor started
from Missouri for Oregon. A depu-
tation from the Hudson Bay Co. met
them on the plains, advising them that
it was impossible for them to cross
the mountains In their wagons. The
emigrants decided to leave their wa
CONS and finish the journey on horse
back.
AS this course would have ruined
Whitman's plan Of saving the country
to the United States he labored witf
the leaders Of the band until they
was not ratified. and the fertile north
consented to follow the doctors advice
and guidance. The band did cross the
mountains in their wagons, the treaty
west was saved to the United States.

Crimes at Fergus Falls.

Fergus Falls seems to be having it's
share in the way Of criminal orgies.
Last nights paper tells Of several
burglaries in that town, but without
any great profit to the gang who seems
bent on making raids on business
places. A saloon, grocery store, drug
store and a hardware store were enter
ed Thursday night-receipts 1910 in
cash and several dollars worth of Fer
gus Falls whiskey. In the saloon the
thieves worked in the light Of a. o.
candle electric light. It is said the po-
lice did not know a thing about the
trouble until told about it by the news
paper men.
