Wants Deeds Set Aside.

The case of John Williams, by his
guardian ad litem, VS.. the Daniels
Jones Company, was held at Lisbon
last week before Judge Cooley of
Grand Forks. The trial was brought
to set aside deeds to three quarter Sec
tons of land, one near Minor and two
in Kidder county, given in even trade
by Williams to the defendants for a
quarter section of land near Moorhead.
MINI. 1t is claimed the land near
Moorhead was not what it was repre-
sented to be. The plaintiff alleges
fraud on the part of defendants in get
ting deeds to the land and incompe-
tency of the original owner.
j. A. Mckee of this city and c. S.
Wolfe of Wahpeton represented the
plaintiff, while Rourke and Kvello and
T. A. Curtis Of Lisbon, A. P. Guy OF
Oakes and MIR. VanValk enburg OF
Minneapolis, represent the defendant.
S. A. Reko and Sam Kittelson of this
city appeared as witnesses. Judge
Cooley now has the matter under ad.
visement.

Must Give Signal.

When persons are enjoying a drive ir
North Dakota and have to pass an au.
tomobile on the road, if their horses
are skittish and they want the machine
and its engine stopped, only the driver
must give the signal to the chauffeur,
according to the decision handed down
by the supreme court. Otherwise, if
an accident occurs. the chauffeur NAV
not be liable for damages.
In case in Foster county, John
Messer was awarded verdict of $500
against Henry Bruening. Bruening
was motoring and had to pass Mr.. and
Mrs. Messer, who were driving. Mrs:
Messer signalled for the auto to stop.
Bruening stopped his car to the right
of the road. Messer, however, drove
across the road in front of the car to
the left side and into an open field.
The buggy was damaged and Messer
more or less injured. He sued for
damages and was awarded $500.
The supreme court holds that the
driver of the horse should have sig
nailed the auto driver. There would
then have been no confusion. The
lower court is reversed and the case is
ordered for new trial.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL
GRADUATES -FOUR
As q Climax to the School Year
an Excellent Program
Was Presented.
Now Five Years Since Ground
Was Broken for School
lis Big Success.

Four young ladies graduated from
St. Charles Catholic school this year.
The class was composed of Mayme
Sperry, Rose Sheridan, Rachel Adams
and Lenore Cunningham. They re-
ceived their diplomas at the close of
the entertainment given by ST. Charles
School at the Academy of Music on
Tuesday evening. Very Rev. Father
Baker presented the diplomas and his
remarks were extremely happy and fe-
licitous of the accomplishment of the
school. 1t is just five years ago since
ground was broken for this splendid
institution. 1t was big undertaking
apparently at the time, but all OBJ
stacles have been surmounted, the f.
nancial end has been taken care of,
and the school is doing a great work
for the young people of the city and
surrounding country. The school grad
yates from the eighth grade, and the
pupils are then in splendid shape to en-
ter the ninth grade of the high school,
The exercises of the evening were
excellent. Each number showed thor
ough preparation, and the writer can
not remember juvenile entertainment
where the program was so good and
each showed such proficiency as in
this. From little Anastasia Moore, in
her distinct cute voice, to Roy Roney
in his Fourth of July stump speech,
the program was enlivening and Gre
ated roars of laughter. The Good Sis
ters of the school were behind the
scenes and to them and Miss Shanahan,
who presided at the piano, was due the
great success of the entertainment.
The hall was well filled to listen to the
program, and nothing but praise could
be heard from all.

G. A. r. Notes.

A cordial welcome also greets Com.
rade Payton, formerly of this city but
now resident of Glover. He meets
with US annually to participate in Dec
oration Day ceremonies.
Comrade Battey, being troubled with
rheumatism, became so fatigued with
the morning exercises as to be unable
to attend the afternoon services, much
to the regret of the comrades.
The members of the G. A. R. Post of
this place are always pleased to well
come Comrade Bogardus to Decoration
Day ceremonies as he has been with US
for three years on these occasions.
The comrade is exceedingly active for
his years (his age being 84) as is evi-
denced by his taking the drive of Is
miles and return from his home in
Newark, S. D., to participate in these
exercises. Mrs. Bogardus is an invalid
of long standing but realizing how
much it means to her husband to meet
with the comrades here on these occa-
sions she most unselfshly insisted upon
his coming.

Barnes Big Show Coming!

Advance Agent William K Peck was
in town to make arrangements for the
only real wild animal show in the world
to give two performances here on June
2lst. In few days the publicity car
will arrive to further advertise this
peerless attraction. 1t is not the old
time circus. with its many tiresome
aerial acts, but the biggest and best
wild animal show which has ever Wis
tied this vicinity animal known.
to the kingdom of wild beasts perform
ing feats which fall little short of the
impossible.
To gain some idea of the enormity of
the AL. G. Barnes Big Three Ring
Trained Wild Animal Show, it takes
twenty extra length cars to convey
them around the country and acres of
canvas to house the many departments,
300 wild and domestic animals, over 300
employees. three arenas in the nam
tent, the center of which contains a
mammoth steel arena where all the
wild animal acts take place, scores of
wagons for the monster street parade
which starts from the grounds at 1O:3O,
making the greatest show both in edu-
cational and amusement values known
to the amusement lovers of this coun-
try.
Through the personal supervision of
Mr.. Barnes, the show is conducted
upon the most courteous and refined
principles, with the one thought of the
safety of the ladies and children. Mr..
Peck states that those who are fond of
the best in amusement and a show
which has been called by the press of
America as "the most spectacular and
in the world" should not miss
this opportunity.
There will be two performances
ternoon and evening, with monster
street parade at 1890. ADV.

SILVER WEDDING
IS REMEMBERED
Relatives and Friends of James
B. Andrews and Wife
Give Surprise.
Coincident We're Two Birth
days and All Celebrated
Together.

Mr.. and Mrs. James B. Andrews
were made extremely happy last Mon
day. 1t was the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of their wedding. They hadn't
thought much about it until the old
friends and neighbors from CogsweIl
and Brampton, more relatives from
LaMoure and Jamestown, began to file
in on them. They came early in the
morning some by train, some by auto
cause they had no fare to pay, others
who didn't come made up their minds
to stay away. By twos and threes
they marched into the dining hall,
young men and old men and girls who
were not men at all. They filed in to
the number of about fifty. All the
brothers and sisters of Mrs. Andrews
came but one. Rev. George Finch Of
Washburn was unable to be here.
But that was not all 1t too was the
birthday of Neal Andrews, their young
est boy, and also the birthday of Leal
Smith, the son of MIR. and Mrs. Geo.
D. Smith, who live second door west of
the Andrews home. Leal had come
from the old farm near Brampton with
his family. He was born the same day
and about the same hour the Andrews
were married. Some very nice pres
ents were received, and the occasion
was one long to be remembered by
those who were honored. Mrs. Geo.
D. Smith planned the surprise, and the
assistance she had in carrying it out
was not slow. The day was jolly one
for all concerned.
