King George Superstltious.

An incident which occurred while
the king was out shooting recently
over the Hon. John Wards preserves
at Woolley shows that the monarch
shares with many other persons the
superstition about the number thir-
teen. The eight guns were joined at
luncheon by five women of the party
staying at Chiffon, and the king no
ticing the unlucky number would not
sit down until Donald Harding. the
acting agent upon the estate, was
called in to make the number up to
fourteen.-New York Herald.

HAbEAS CORPUS
WRIT IS ASKED
Friends Of Peter Shauntz
Still Seeking His
Freedom.

Bismarck. n. D., Dec. 3.-The ap.
pllcation Of Peter shauntz Of Mandan
Tor . writ Of habeas corpus was heard
IN the supreme cour yesterday. It
will be remembered that Shaunts was
sentenced nearly six years ago to serve
ninety days in jail and pay q fine Of
5000 for an alleged violation Of the
prohibition Law. After years Of delay
and contest. he was in%carcerated in the
Morton county jail on the last day
OF last month. His attorneys applied
to the district court for a writ Of ha.
beas corpus and Judge Neussle sitting
for Judge Nuchols, denied the petition
and an appeal was made to the su.
|preme court.
The ase was argued on behalf Of
the petitioner by Senator L. A. Simp-
son Of Dickinson and Henley q Sulli-
van of Mandan and on behalf of the
state by Judge Carmody. assistat at
torney general and States Attorney
Biting Of Morton county. The appli-
cants argued that when the supreme
court RENTED the al by act to the
district court on March 10, 1910. that
the sentence should have been i'm
posed at that time and since it was
not, that it has outlawed-ninety days
from that date should have completed
his sentence. This contention was de-
MED by the state and the matter was
taken under advisement by the court.
Briefs will be submitted.

Nuessle, Judge Of tho sixth district.
dissolved an injunction issued against
the sheriff of Burleigh county In Feb

selling the plant Of the Bismarck
taxes. This matter has been pending
in the district court for nearly two
years. ana Judge Neussle's findings
mean that unless the case Is appealed
to tho supreme court that the Bis
marck Water supply company must

whether or not the board Of county
commissioners can at their pleasure

tice in BurleiEh. and other counties.

In 1909 the Water Supply company
was valued for assessment at $45,553.
and their total taxes for the year was
$2,237.09. In 1910 they were valued
at $4,000, and taxes were levied at
1926. These taxes were allowed tc
become delinquent and December.
board Of county commissioners by the
atoms for 1908 and 1910 were 9

passed a resolution authorizing the
county treasurer to accept one-half
Of the taxes due, plus seven per ccnt
interest. County Treasurer Kositzky
refused to accept payment on these
terms and Sheriff Barnes took steps
to seize the plant Of the company.
About Feb. I, 1912, Judge Winchester
issued an injunction restraining Sher-
III Marnes from proceeding with the
collection Of the taxes. The matter
remained in this condition until last
