called for jury taken from north
OF the fourteenth parallel and pro-
vidlng that the expenses Of the court
reporter shall be paid for special
terms in Baudette, D. P. O'Neill In
PRODUCED a bill amending the old
Baudette law and providing for two
general terms Of district court to b.
held In Baudette and Spooner each
year. The bill as drafted by attorn-
eys from the north end of the coun-
ty provided that the judge could 3ex-
cuse Jurors drawn from south of the
fourteenth parallel.
The bill was referred to the judic-,
larry committee of the house and Will
be reported out after public hear
ing has been held. There appears to-
be some objection to the bill as 1T,
now stands since it calls for. two gen.
eral terms of court whereas Clear
water county which has been Or
ganized for ten years, has but one
term. 1t is said that the bill was
drafted for, the purpose of affecting
existing legislation in the Canadian
Northern fire cases.
D. P. O'Neill rescued the general
normal school bill from extinction
Wednesday AFTERNOON when he ask
cd the house to reconsider a motion
passed not to receive the bill from
the normal school committee. The
house reconsidered and the bill was
placed on general orders. 1t will
come up for debate sometime within
the next two weeks.
Over the phone this morning, Mr..
O'Neill stated that he believed the
bill could be pushed through if Cass
Lake. Bemidji and Thief River Falls
will unite on it. The text is as fol-
lows: ~ E =
