Chicago, Feb. 22.-Eight Jurors

WANTS DAMAGES
Two Brothers Made Defendants in
$3.50 Suit i'm Morton County.

Mandan, N. D., Feb. 22.-An echo
of the recent trials of Alexander and
Mike Jahner was heard when suit for
$500 vas filed against them for
damages sustained in the fight in
which Wendelin Schwartz was nearly
killed at a wedding in Odense July 3,
1911.
In the complaint Schwartz claims
that by reason of the wounds inflicted
upon him at the time. he will be an
invalid for the rest of his life and
that he is liable at any time to lose
his life as a result of his wounds.
Then further it is shown hat a large
segment of the skull has been re-
moved, leaving the brain tissues ex-
posed to any slight blow or pressure
and in that alone there is great dam
ger.
Recently in the criminal section of
the district court Alexander Jahner
was tried and convicted of the assault
upon Schwartz and was sentenced to
the p~enitentiary for four years. His
brother, Mike Jahner, was tried but
not convicted. The case will be heard
at the next term of court.

cation of the Florida everglades
charges and the expenditures of the
agricultural department in the re-
clamation of those lands came to an
abrupt halt today when the house in

fine more clearly the scope of the in

Senator Bryan objected to questions
by Representative Bathrick of Ohio as

investigation but that If it is under
taken he wanted to present the Flor

To the address of welcome, Capt.
Hanley responded. after which he
read his annual report as president
of the association. and said: The
militia of this state is better equipped,
better differed and better instructed
than ever before in its history. The
regiment is probably in a better con-
dition to meet the requirements of ac-
tual warfare than any time since the
Spanish-American a This condi-
ton is undoubtedly largely due to the
interest exercised by the national gov
eminent in militia affairs and to the
instruction n help received through
the regular army officers and men de-
tailed to this state for the purpose Of
assisting the organization"
Capt. Hanley stated that there is
now pending in the congress of the
United States a pay bill" which pro-
vides federal pay for the officers and
enlisted men Of the organized militia.

MAY PAY FIGHTERS
Probable That Minot Will Have Paid
ENirC Dcpartmcnt

bSIuIlIilcIt
Minot. n. d., Feb. 22.-Minot may
have a paid fire department. the eff
cheney will be increased for fighting
fires by the adoption Of a fire ordin-
ance correcting some of the defects Of
the old ordinance.
A new fire ordinance will be CON-
sidered at a special meeting Of the
commissioners. The ordinance has
been drafted by City Attorney George
a. MCGEE. The idea Of the ordinance
is to regulate the pay of the firemen,
to provide regulations concerning the
supervision and management of the
department and to make it more cffec-
tive i'll general.
Minot has an excellent fire depart
ment. 1t has always been classed as
a volunteer department. although as
a matter of fact the city has paid GER
tain sums for the lighting Of fire. The
old ordinance is rather loose and in
coherent in many provisions and for
that reason the commissioners consid-
cred it a good plan to revise the en-
tire ordinance and by definite regula-
tons make the department still more
effective,
