QUEER CASE GOES TO COURT.

Kenmare, Jan. PA case of rath-
er peculiar interest is on trial today
in district court at Bowbells, in which
several Kenmare parties are interested.
W. 81. Cleary was formerly in the
grain business at Patterson and owned
an elevator building or fiat house. Sew
eral years ago Cleary went out of bust
ness and left the country, leaving the
building standing idle. 1t is alleged
that Cleary owed the Langworthy Lum-
Der company for some lumber and on
the strength of this Theodore Kahel-
lex, who was agent for the company at
this time, gave to G. T. Tscharner, then
postmaster at Newport, bill of sale in
the sum of $4,000 for the building.
Tscharner was acting in the capacity
of agent for Kahellek, and made a
sale of the building to Charles Roller,
we'll known young farmer of Lake
view township. Roller pays for the
building which is moved on to his farm.
Now two years later Cleary returns,
I finds his buildings gone, and begins ac-
tion for recovery Of damages. Roller is
in possession Of bill Of sale and was
an innocent purchaser. Tscharner act
ed only in the capacity of agent and
Kahellek, the Langworthy agent, holds
that he had authority from somebody
else to dispose Of the building on tho
strength that Cleary owed the lumber
company for whom he was working.
If Cleary is successful in obtaining a
verdict against Roller, it is under
stood that Mr.. Roller will at once be-
gin suit against Kahellek. In fact the
whole case seems to be surrounded with
statements and facts galore, which
bear close resemblance to the famous
Iowa calf case.

DEMOCRATS LIKELY
TO ORDER CAUCUS.
Party Divided Over Inquiry of Money,
Shipping and Harvester Trust.

Party Divided Over Inquiry of Money,
Shipping and Harvester Trust.
Washington, Jan. GA big demo-
cratic row is focusing around efforts Of
Chairman Henry Of the house rule COM
mittee to have an investigation of
the so-callcd money trust of Represcn~
tative Lindbergh Of Minnesota, tie
shipping trust and the Harvester trust.
Members Of the house favorin:y these
investigations are limiting that they are

ton of Speaker Clark and Represent
tative Underwood, floor leader, both in
the presidential limelight, and there

necessarily. The democratic radicals all
appear to be demanding these investi-
cations urged by Mr.. Bryan.
A few weeks ago the path of the pro.
posed investigations appeared entirely
smooth, and their advocates were de-
elaring confidently that they had votes
enough to upt them through. But the
opposition that has been man:festing it.
self recently, under the noiscless, but
effective leadership of Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Underwood, has already detached
some Of the members of the rule COM
mittee, which is conducting hearings
on the investigation proposition, and
there are signs that it will de1ac'l 9th
ers. So that today Chairman Henry is
no longer certain that he can control
enough votes to report an investigation
resolution.
1t was the realization of this weak
ness that led to the proposal to separate
the three proposed investigations and
have each stand by itself instead of
grouping them under one committee,
as was the original plan. The adve-
Gates Of the investigation have come ia
the conclusion that they will be strong
or separate than together, because each
has some support of its own that the
others do not have and it is possible
that by separation all three may be put
through. !:
The supporters of the proposed inves.
legations and of trust legislation are
very much in earnest, and they intend
to make hard fight before they admit
defeat. The question of the investiga-
tions will stop with the rules commit.
tee if it is beaten there. It requires
only 200 names signed to a petition to
call caucus of the democrats and the
supporters of the Investigations are de.
termined to submit the affuestion to a
caucus if they are out-votcd in the
rules committee.
They do not believe that Speaker
Clark and Mr.. Underwood will be will
ing to carry their opposition into a
caucus and face record vote on the
proposition Under the recent arrange
ment, such record vote would be made
public, and the two candidates for the
democratic nomination would be forced
into the open. =

VIII; ADD TWO NILE RUN AND
Allow LARGER NUMBER
OF ENTRIES

| Grand Forks, Jan. 23.-Soms tim,
the latter paft Of this week official no
tices and invitations will be sent out &
the high schools of ME state for tie an
aual interscholastic field and track
meet which will be hcEtE at the Univer
sity Of North Dakota: en Friday anc
Saturday, May II and IL.
| The faculty athletic committee is
considering a number of important
changes that will affect the meet in
many ways. It is probable that an
other event, the two-mile run will be
introduced this year, that the teams
will be allowed an unlimited number
of men and That the handicap to the
smaller schools will be increased.
The two miles run is one of the
prettiest on the entire athletic calen.
dar, but heretofore it has not been in
cluded for number of reasons, most
especially the seven men limit, allow.
ed but seven entries in the meet ex-
elusive Of the relay team, which prac-
tically gave them eleven men. I'm
der this limit, the two mile run has
been an impossibility as man running
in that event would be too much ia.
tigued to enter into a sprint or any
other event for that matter a few min
utes afterwards, as would have been
necessary.
This is one Of the reasons why the
seven men limit go~ to the discard.
Another reason is that many schools
have athletes fitted for only one class
OF events and as it is now a Splinter
has to get into the weight throwing
event in which he is physically un-
fitted to compete.
Handicaps have been given to the
smaller schools on basis of attend.

ed for the coming meet. Just what
basis of handicapping will be institut,

incidentally the high schools of the
state are expected to be more largely
represented than they were last year
In the 1911 meet, twenty schools were
entered. All of these will be represent
ed again and number more will be
heard from.
Last year, the entries included men
from the Grand Forks, Langdon, Minot
Grafton, Pembina, Fargo, Park River
Cavalier, Casselton, Bathgate, Velva
Cakes jamestown, Inkster, Lidger
wood, Williston, Hannah, St. Thomas
Churchs Ferry and Drayton. The com
ing year Dickinson, Mandan, Bismarck
Valley City, Washburn, Garrison, Mott
Beach and a number of others will
probably be heard from. Every high
school in the state will be communi
Gated with and the details Of the
meet will be explained. According &
the plans of the faculty athletic com
mittee, the first notice will be follow
ed up by others and the matter will
be kept before the eyes and minds Of
the principals of the various schools
The meet will be held on the new
university field Installed last year and
on which still further improvements
will be made. A new grand stand is
one of the features contemplated and
more adequate dressing raoons will
undoubtedly be provided. From the
preparations under way, this year :
interscholastic will be the biggest ane
best in the history of the institution
