ESQ AWARDED DAMAGES
FOR HUSBANDS DEATH.

liberating for two hours the Jury in
the case of Mrs. Frank Pieterick VS..
Con Weaver, in which the plaintiff
asked damages for the death of her
husband, brought in a verdict in her
favor, awarding her 81, 900.
The case was the outcome of the
killing Of Mrs. Pieterick's husband last
summer. He was killed during a
drunken brawl in Viewers pool room
at Geneseo, it was alleged. His skull
was fractured by a blow on the head
and he died the next day.
Mrs. Pieterick sought damages on
the grounds that the state law, which
provides that a wife, if injured in her
means of support by the ~intoxication
of those she is dependent on, she can
recover damages from the person who
sold the liquor to them, applied in

DISASTROUS FIRE
At STANLEY, N. D.

Stanley, N. D., Feb 17.-Stanley
was visited by one of the most dis
astrous fires in it's history, which
totally destroyed the general mer-
chandise store of Theodore Everson
and the entire stock. In addition to
the Everson store the fire destroyed
the Office of Ira Wakefield. The exact
origin of the fire is unknown but the
supposition is that it started from the
stove in the grocery department. 1t
is thought that the fire started in the
floor and travelled toward the corner
where the gasoline tank Of the light
ing plant stood and overheated 1t.
causing it to explode. This soon put
the flames beyond the control of he
firemen. There was a strong north
west wind blowing and it took the
hardest kind Of work to keep the fire
to the two buildings that burned.
The loss of stock, fixtures and
building will run something over. $21,-

COMMUNICATION,

To The Forum: / call the attention
Of the people interested in temperance
and law enforcement to an injustice
done the u of temperance and law
enforcement and to a man who has
done perhaps more than any other in
the last v years to lift from the
state, the stigma of lawlessness In the
west end, a lawlessness not. only as 20
saloon (for such they were five years
ago in h slope country and blind
pigs but a disregard for law in
general, and who has helped to break
up the old liquor gangs that have
dominated many towns and cities Of
the state.
I refer to the indisposition to COM
p~ensate F. c. Heffron, assistant attor-
ney general, for the work he has done.
Mr.. Heffron was appointed in March
1903 by Andrew Miller, attorney gen.
eral, under section 1872 code 1906 as
special assistant attorney general. Mr.,
Hebron did not seek the appointment
and has neglected his own business to
perform the work. 1 have been with
him through all the fight and know
h in a manly straightforward way,
night anq day, he has been on the job.
He has had] thirty-one contempt and
sl~Xty-nine nuisance actions beside
numerous criminal actions and pre-
ANN
liminary hearings often recurring
three or more efforts before the VIOLA
tors could be bound over. He has
made seventy-five trips to places
along the Northern Pacific railroad
from Bismarck to the state line and
to Marmarth resulting in Transforming
an utterly lawless territory so far as
the liquor is concerned into law abid-
ing conditions over most of the slope
county. He has given the larger part
of his time for almost four years
without compensation in criminal
cases. Had the state endeavored TO
hire n pay for the work done it
could not have lone so for $4,000
1t is not a, fault of Mr.. Hebron. or
the people who want the law enforced
nor of the attorney general that the
regularly elected officials west of the
river would not do their duty and
section 1912 was put in the code for
such an emergency. When a man is
appointed to an Office it becomes his
duty to faithfully perform the duties
even though it be a sacrifice. MIR.
Heffron has so done. When the Of
1cials west of the river would not do
their duty 1t became the duty of the

600 with insurance in the amount OF
$4,000.
Mr.. Wakefield's loss consists of his
building, possibly worth $3.50 and his
office furniture.
The Pellant building which stood
next to the Everson building was
damaged to the extent OF having the
plate glass window broken from the
heat.
The plate glass in the Dakota
Drug Co.'s store Gro the street was
all broken.
The Stanley Telephone Exchange
lost two telephones and the connec-
tions.
The total losses will reach nearly
$4,000.
MIR. Everson stated that In all pro-
liability he would open up again as

attorney general to act under this
special provision of the state and ap-
point an officer who would.
Mr.. Heffron now asks for reason
able pay for the work he has done.
The bill asks for $1,000 for thu four
years work, but what Mr.. Hebron
ought to have is a reasonable COM
pensatton whether more or less than
this amount. There is opposition to
this bill of course, mainly from the
territory closed up Inc by the piggers
and their sympathizers and some of
the attorneys and officers of the law
whom Mr.. Hebron brushed out of the
way as the work was lone. They are
sire of course. one Of them was
heard to say with an oath that he
killed the bill two years ago.
I now ask every man in the state
who believes in law enforcement and
fair pay and who appreciates the lift

Mandan. N. D.. Feb. 17.-Although
a few inquiries have been made, there
has been as yet no offer made to give
a home to the infant son of Mrs. J.
G.. Symanski, who died at the Mandan
hospital a short time ago.
The baby is a very healthy child
and has won the hearts OF the hos
pital employees. The father. who is a
minister Of the gospel at Glen Ullin,
feels that he is not capable Of rear
ing the child, and would like to find a
home for it. Anyone interested should
communicate with Miss Lloyd, super
intendent Of the hospital or with the
father.

ARRESTED AT r r
Young Mar Charged With Breaking
into Great Northern Dapot.

Cando, N. D., Feb. 17.-On or about
Jan. 20 last the depot at Perth
was broken into by some one intent
on robbing it. AS the agent had taken
his cash out that evening and there
was nothing else of value which the
intruder wanted he went away empty
handed. There have been some sus-
picions as to whom the culprit was,
and a short time g an arrest was
made, but after examination it was
found that the wrong man had been
secured. Suspicious finally pointed
very strongly to Emmett Watt, a
young man who had been employed in
"a livery stable at Perth, and this week
