VICE CHANCELLOR
HEARS LAND Case

Vice Chancellor Leaning sat in the
Court House yesterday to try the claim
OF the heirs of D. P. Elmer's estate,
against the Crystal Ice & Cold Storage
Company, in which the lawyers were
Walter H. Bacon, ESQ.,, and Hampton
e Fithian.
1t appears that the Ice Co. had
leased the D. P. Elmer property on
Cohansey street on which it's brick
building is situated for period of 10
years, with the privilege of buying.
The lease was made by Howard v.
Elmer, Trustee, and the purchase price
was to be fixed by arbitration. This
was done and the arbitrators fixed the
price at $47.50 per foot
The heirs will not accept this arbi-
tration price, but demand $65 per foot,
and to prevent the enforcement of the
contract by the trustee to sell for the
price made by the arbitors the suit is
brought.
The Vice-Chancellor after hearing
all the evidence took the papers for a
decision later.
Vice-Chancellor Leaning is here
again today in suit in which Walter
p. Kean is plaintiff, against the re-
ceivers of the B. S. Ayars &, Sons Co.,
in which he wants to recover $3500,
advanced to the B. S. Ayars e Sons Co.
on warehouse receipt, secured by
5000 cases of catsup. This catsup be-
longed to the Bridgeton Preserving
Company.
Mr.. French, of French & Richards,
appeared for Mr. Kean, and VIM. A.
Logue for the receivers. 1t is a tri-
angular suit, in which the Cumberland
Trust Co. appears as holding chattel
and real estate mortgage to secure the
issue of $4,000 bonds. James S. Ware
represents the Trust Co.
The case is showing much interest
ing matter referring to financial
transaction and will consume the most
of the day likely
Mr.. French wanted the defendants
to admit the amount accrued from the
sale of the catsup, but to this Mr..
Bacon, who is associated with Mr..
Logue, objected on the ground that
this was not the time for any such ad-
missions, as the Receivers could not
know what the result of sales were
until they were prepared to make their
report to the Court of Chancery and
such report was passed on.
Mr.. Kean on the witness stand, de-
clared that the 5000 cases of catsup
were held to his order for security on
notes for the $500, which he had
loaned on the warehouse receipt.

DEAD BEAT
STEALS So
Charles Borden Pulls Crude
Trick.
He BEGS SOME CHANGE
Stranger Gives Him Five Dollars to
Change and He Steals the
Whole Note.

Charles Borden is an undesirable
citizen, fellow who does little but
drink and wanders about the streets
in rather disagreeable manner.
Yesterday at the office of the Arc
tic Ice and Cold Storage Company.
Cohansey street, Borden met stran-
ger, salesman, by the way, and ap-
pealed to the stranger for a small
contribution. Borden said he was
hard working fish peddler, and was
down in his luck. He was endeavor-
ing, he said, to get bit of money to
buy stock of fish. He needed IL
cents.
The salesman was impressed with
the story and felt in his pocket for
some small change. He did not have
any and pulling out a five dollar note
told Borden to get it changed in the
Arctice Ice Company's office. The
bill could not be changed there, and
Borden said he would slip down at
the corner and have it changed.
Borden went but he did not come
back. The salesman was mad and re-
ported the matter to the police. A
search was made for the fellow. Yes
terday afternoon Park Guard Bert
Hider, who had been notified, discov-
cred Borden along the raceway. Hid
er took the man in charge and turned
him over to the police. He had in his
pockets $3.50, all of which was the
change from the five dollar note. Bor-
dent was locked up.
TAis morning Borden pleaded gull
ty to being disorderly, begging upon
the streets, and he was sent to Jail for
ninety days.

MANY LISTENED
TO THE LECTURE
Richard Tjader Presents an
Address.
WAS most INTERESTING
"Big Game of Africa" Was Subject
of an Excellent Address
Miss Wells Sings.

Inc f1rSt presbyterian Chapel was
crowded last night with an audience
that was greatly interested in the lee
ture depicting the hunting of big
game in the jungles of Africa. The
lecture was presented by Richard
Tjader, of New York State, who twice
has risked his life facing the wild
beasts, once in company with Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, who spent a year
in the wilds of the dark continent.
The lecture was presented under
the auspices of Ivy Hall and young
ladies of this Institution were ushers
for the occasion.
Preceding and following the address
of the big game hunter, Miss Jean
nette Wells, soprano, gave song recit-
ais and her selections added delightful
and pleasing entertainment for the
public.
Mr.. Tjader is a man of striking ap-
pearance, standing more than six feet
in height and is powerfully built.
Courage is stamped upon his face, and
in his address he became enthusiastic
and in describing some of his exciting
experiences he seemed to live the
tense moments over again and his en-
thusiasm aroused his auditors.
Twice has Mr.. Tjader been upon
hunting expeditions in darkest Africa,
and each time he had many expert
ences that were of greatest moment
Mr.. Tjader easily carried his audi
ence with him as he plunged into the
thickets where only savages have been
and there the most ferocious of the
widest of beasts were out in their
lair and were killed by the unerring
aim of men without nerves, when
single mistake, false step, mis-fire
would have meant the triumph of the
savage beast and the instant death of
the hunter.
Excellent stereopticon views were
presented by the lecture, the photo
graphs having been taken by himself
Some of these pictures were snapped
in the very face of the beast ready to
spring, and the camera thrown aside
with the click of the shutter and the
seizure and firing of the trusted rifle
prevented fatality to the intrepid
hunter.
There were many skins of great ami
mails presented for the view of the
audience last night which added in
teresting illustration.
Giving his personal experiences Mr..
Tjader presented information to the
people last evening in a manner most
impressive, and cannot be placed up
on the printed page.
Every word spoken by the hunter
lecturer was interesting and instruc-
tive and he could have talked much
longer and held the attention of ev-
eryone
Mr.. Tjader plans another trip to the
dark continent. The hunting inspires
him and the association with the saw
age people there interest him. So en-
thusiastic is he, that Mr.. Tjader says
but for the loving ties of family he
would go to jungle land and remain
there pursuing his conquest of the
savage beasts and people.

The groom did not waste Cor
waist any time testing the new law

WITNESSES
CALLED FOR
S1AEF CASE

Minot July 22.-- Subpoenas for the
witnesses for the state in the case
of John Steif, accused Of murder IN
the first degree as the result OF the
shooting OF his wife last May were
sent out today. ....~
They are being served by Dan
Dougherty deputy sheriff.
Generally speaking the witnesses
will be the same as those called IN
the preliminary hearing in the case.
Chief of these is Annie Steff, the II
year-old daughter Of the accused, ana
his wife, whose testimony took up oV-
er two days at the preliminary hear
ing.
At that time it was difficult to take
her testimony on account Of her lack
of knowledge of the English langu-
age, and also the fact that she was
badly frightened.
At the coming trial however, an in
terpreter will be present and her
alarm will have worn away.
The testimony of John Piekos the,
farm hand is also expected to play
an important part in the coming trial.
HI, will be questioned as to the events
Of the night preceding the shooting.
The case is scheduled to come up at
the district court term which opens
next Monday. It is understood, how
ever, that the defense will take
change of venue to Towner.
L. J. Palda and Dorr H. Carroll will
probably conduct the prosecution and
E. r. Sinkler will be the attorney for
the defense
