Justice Anderson of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia has awarded

city. He disappeared June 5. 1905, and
has not since been seen.
After waiting more than seven years
Mrs. Sawyer, through Attorneys w. q.
Gardiner and George B. HaZelton, sued
the society to recover the face of the
policy. The National Union defended the
suit. relying on a bylaw adopted in
1905 after the disappearance of Sawyer.
This bylaw provides that long-continued
absence of policy holders shall not be re-
garded as evidence of death and shall
not entitle beneficiary to recover until
the expiration of the full term of life
expectancy, to wit, seventy years.

rectly or indirectly, since said date of

Held That Possession Of Stolen Prop.
crty Does Not Necessarily Imply
Guilt OF the Party.

BY 81 decision of the supreme court
in the case of the state against Carl
Schonberg of Rolette county, 1t is held
that the fact that Il man has in his
possession articles which may have
been stolen does not imply guilt.
Judge Cowan. instructing a jury, de-
clared that unless the defendant could
give an explanation as to how he came
in possession Of the property. that
such fact must be considered aff1rma-
tive proof. The supreme court holds
that this was prejudicial. in that 1t re-
mains for the jury to draw 1ts own
conclusions in such instances
The lower court had also instructed
the jury to disregard the pleadings Of
the attorneys. and this was also held
to be prejudicial error.
AS a result. Schonberg gains a new
trial Hc was convicted of larceny and

Abolish Carnival Feature at
The North Dakota State Fair

Adjustment Of the carnival COM
lpany as an attraction at the state fair
is the plan Of the management of tho
North Dakota state fair in Grand
FORTS this year.
The plan proposed is a bold one, and
OF things. but 1t is anticipated that
the patrons of the fair viii be we'll
pleased at the idea.
Instead Of maintaining the time
worn midway attractions, It is the
plan OF the association to stage a big
snow every evening during the fair,
putting It on in front of the grand
stand. and insurinE the amusement
lovine public a program Of events that
will be at once pleasing and s~atisfac-
tory to all.
Leaves q Bad Taste.
That the midway attractions, If they
can be termed attractions. usually
leave a bad taste is the expression OF
many. The fair patrons, for want Of
some other place to go. will make"
the lane Of amusement places main
tanned by a carnival company, and
the results are not always satisfa Glory
to the visitors.
With this fact to be taken into con-
%sideration. the fair management Of
Grand Forks believes there is Il field
Tor a new enterprise, and that is why
tneS engaged the Irwin Bros. Real
%Sheyenne Wild West show, which will
be the big attraction in front Of tho
grand stand every evening.
|, One admission price will give every
body chance to see the show, and
1t will be a program of events we'll
worth while. All of the Objectionable
midway features are abolished, the
whole time being given over to a
show that Is certainly well worth
while.
Make It a Real Circus.
To make the evening performances
a real old-time circus is the aim of
the fair managers. They believe that
this is possible. as the Irwin Bros,
organization is one Of the most com
plete Of Its kind in the world, and 1t
has a varied program Of events that
will be interpreted with other fea-
lures that will combine to make the
entire attraction most remarkable.
Active work on the 1913 state fair
Is being done every day. and the indi-
cations are that Grand Forks will this
year have the biggest and best exhibi-
ton for the people of North Dakota
that Ina ever been given.
