TWINS TANGLE
PLAN
FOR SUPPORT
Extra Arrival Upsets Financial
Arrangement Made by Couple
Who Separated Quickly.

AUGUSTA, July 12.-Can a hus-
band and wife separate and agree
upon the amount the father shall pay
TO the mother for the support of an
unborn child?
Judge Hammond, of the Richmond
Superior Court says that they can
not.
F. A. Jones was married to Miss
Margaret Rountree in 1908. Three
months after their marriage they sep
arated and Jones gave his wife $1,000
in settlement of all her claims against
him for the support of her and of her
unborn child. Six months after the
separation twin sons were born to
Mrs. Jones.
The mother, through her attorneys,
Isaac S. PEBBLES, Jr, and E. Foster
Brigham, recently brought action to
compel the father to help support his
children, it being alleged that there
we're two children instead of one,
and that the agreement between
Jones and his wife stipulated that the
$1,000 he paid was for the support of
her and of her unborn child and in
view of the fact that one of the twins
was not mentioned, 1t was up to the
father to contribute toward its sup
port.
Jones agreed to support both Of the
children in his answer 10 PLAINTIFF
petition, but stated that if he had to
support them he wanted the custody
of them.
Judge Hammond decided that both
of the children should stay with
their mother, that the father pay S25
per month for their support, and also
the attorneys fees.
The court held that the father and
mother had no right to enter into
an agreement regarding the support
of any unborn child; that the first
rights Of an individual come when
he is actually born into the world.
The Jones twins are handsome lit
tie fellows, four years of age. Their
mother makes a good salary, while
the father is also well to do

Court for a distribution Of the assets

mond directed that a dividend of 20
per cent be paid on liabilities amount
ing to approximately $174,000.
The receiver reported that he had
collected approximately $4,000, and
about 81, 500 Of that amount is due for
taxes to city, State and county. Also
the receiver and his attorneys must
be paid. The court ordered the 20
per cent dividend paid even though
the entire amount in the hands of the
receiver viii he exhausted IT.

For Capital City
Biz Buffalo Concern Are Looking At
Bismarck as a Place to Locate
And May Build Soon

F. E. Young, secretary of the COM
mercial club, is in communication with
a company in Buffalo who are thinking
of locating a briquetting plant in the
Capital city.
This company has spent nearly $l0,-
10000 in experiments and have at last
found method by which the North
Dakota Ignite coal may be profitably
converted into briquetts without max
ing the cost to the consumer prohibitive.
The company will, if they locate here,
erect plant of two hundred ton capa-
city.
The advantages of the briquetts are
obvious, they give more and better
heat, leave very little ash when COM
pared with the Ignite in ordinary form,
there is very little smoke from them
and the handling is much easier
to handle than the hard coal that costs
$11. 90 or more ton. Bismarck Times.

North Dakota Leads the Country

Grand Forks, Jan. ID. 4.-According to
statistics compiled by the Railway Age
Gazette, North Dakota leads all other
states in the country in the number of
miles of railroad built during the year
Of 1912. and information received by
the Development League Press Bureau
indicates that the year 1912 will see an
equally large amount of railway con-
struction in this state.
There are other interesting figures
which are of official interest to the
Northwest, namely, that one must 60
back six years, or to 1906. to find a
year in which so large number of To-
comotives and freight cars were order
ed.
The figures presented show that in
1912 three railroad companies built q
total mileage Of new track on North Da
kota of 347 miles. Texas ranks second
with 1856 miles andno new mileage is re-
corded in five states and Alaska.
The totals of cars and locomotives
ordered during the year show the
heavy demands that were made on the
railroad facilities during the last part
of 1912, both for movement of extra
ordinarily heavy crops and for the gen
eral business resulting from greater in
dustrial activity.
The new equipment ordered includes
226, 1876 freight cars; 1923 passenger
cars, and 4, 424 locomotives.

Burke Land Contested

Minot, N. D., Jan. 21.-Three men
were on hand at the United States
land office to file on the John F. Skinner
quarter section of land located four
miles east of Flaxton, the original en-
try of Mr.. Skinner having been cancel
led by the government because of his
refusal to relinquish the coal rights to
the government.
William o. 'Donnell and Richard King,
both of Bowbells, arrived in the city
early and reaching the land Office about
the same time waited for an hour or two
until the Office should be opened. As
the window was opened both men push
ed their filing papers in at the same
time and the register was obliged to
turn his back and draw one of the ap-
lications, rejecting the other, Richard
King being the successful applicant.
1t is understood that O'Donnell will
make an effort to have his papers ac-
cepted. nevertheless, and has retained
an attorney to look after his interests.
In the meantime it developed that
another party had been awaiting the
opening of the land Office since late the
previous afternoon with the intention
of filing on the same piece of land. He
had witness with him and remained
in the corridors of the Ehr block oil,
night long. Unfortunately for him,
however, he was awaiting at the wrong
window and O'Donnell and King both
had their papers in before the third
party knew what had happened.
The Skinner place is considered quite
valuable, there being extensive improve.
ments on the place, and the land itself
is very choice. 1t is reported that Skin
ner was killed in Minnesota short
time ago, and it is barely possible that
the heirs will make an effort to have
his entry reinstaeed by relinquishing.
the coal rights. In any event an inter
esting fight is promised.
