Woman Against Another Ends
in Suit for $4,000.

A sDecial session OF the Police Court
was held this morning with Justice
Harry White upon the woolsack. The
case was that OF Mrs. Nett:c Vickers
Il native OF this city but now residing
in Washington, who was charged by
Mrs. Annie Dunbar OF this citv with
Withholding hair alleged to belong to
the complainant, valued at $40. Gran
dali Mackey, OF Alexandria county,
represented the accused, who was ar
rested on "Wednesday while in this city,
and released upon giving security for
her appearance this morning. Ac-
cording TO the plaintiff, she turned
eight ounces Of her loose locks and
combing, two switches and set OF
puffs, over to the accused who was to
make them into Switches. The latter
however we're disappointing when re-
ceiycd, they being much smaller than
the plaintiff had expected. The latter
averred that they weigh but an ounce
and half while the original package
weighed eight ounces. A number OF
witnesses for both sides testified and
the case was elongated. Mr.. MacKey
made the point at the beginning that
if larceny had been committed it was
in Washington, not Alexandria, and
that the complainant should have gone
to that city and instituted proceed
ings.
Justice White, after hearing the evil
deuce. dismissed the case taking the
ground thOt it would have been q civ''
suit.
Shortly after the dismissal OF the
case Mrs. Nettic Eickers sometimes

THIS RETURN RECEIVED AT HAe-

JOHN GELNETT-ENTIRE FIELD
AVERAGES sEvENTY.EIGHT
AND oNE-HALF BUSHELS.

North Dakota's oat crop this season
has proven to be one of the biggest
in yield ever harvested in the state.
Because of the big yields, 1t is also
quite a profitable one despite the low
prices. The average yield should cas-
lily be fifty bushels per acre, while
many districts, UGH as the Red river
valley, should average better than
sixty bushels per acre. Yields of sixty
to 100 bushdls per acre have been
common this season.
One of the heavy yields reported
close to Fargo In Cass county is that
of so bushels per acre of Swedish Sc
lect oats raised on part of the Haggart
farm, operated by John Gelnett. A
field of thirty-six acres on this farm
showed an average return of seventy
eight and one-half bushels per acre,
while twenty acres returned ninety
bushels per acre.
With Cass county lands yielding
from fifty to ninety and more bushels
oats per acre, twenty to thirty eight
bushels of spring wheat, thirty-fve TO
sixty bushels of barley, eighteen to
thirty-fve bushels of winter rye and
big returns all down the line of crops
raised, it is easily apparent that the
bumper crop predicted a few months

EXCELSIOR.

Ny thought has dwelt in the dream
world,
Where Shakespeare fancies soar;
With Plato and ancient temples,
1t fingered on Hellas shore;
With Goethe in rocks and flowers,
II has searched for Natures soul,
But its wings, untired, are seeking
A still sublimer goal.
Ny heart has loved Desdemona,
And wept for Magdelane;
Il has dreamed with Esmeralda,
With Gretchen and Fantine;
but | rise from the twilight beauty
To the undimmed sun above.
Those scattered beams but mirror
The brightness of Infinite Love.
With Moses | stood on Mt. Nebo,
| prayed in Gethsemaneh;
| have felt the wounds uncounted
OF struggling humanity;
And the stories Of noble failures
Like stars through the twilight CLEAN
And point. past world of discords.
To one grand goal supreme!
