BANKING BY N~oNBANKERs.

SOCIETY
Won silver CUP
FARGo's CRACK SINGING SOCIETY
CAPTURED SILVER LOVING CUP
AT DEVILS LAKE-NORRONA So
CIETY OF MoORHEAD A CLOSE
SECOND.

The winner of the silver loving cup,
participating singing societies, at the
close of the Sangerfest, at Devils Lake,
yesterday, was the Orpheus Singing So
ciety of Fargo. This society, under the
direction of ?. A. Rudd, gave a. beauti-
full rendition of Norrona Maal, n Of
the best Of Alfred Paulson's compost
tions 1t was sung by an ensemble Of
markings of the board of judges en-
titled the society to the first prize.
The second prize, a silver loving cup
valued at $50, was awarded to the Nor
rona Singing society of Moorhead, who
lost the first position by a very small
fraction.
A silken standard U. S. flag valued
at SIS, was the third prize and 1t was
awarded to the Bragg society of Thief
River Falls. The great Chautauqua
auditorium fell far short Of seating the
crowds which desired to listen to the
contesting societies.. The judges were
Erick Oule of Minneapolis, Professor
Holden of Winnipeg and T. II. Hannah
of st. Paul.
The contest was not a part of the
sangerfest, it was promoted by the
commercial club of Devils Lake which
also arranged for the three prizes.
Naturally the Orpheus society Of Fargo
are feeling very proud of the victory
they won and appreciate the holding
of the first trophy and Director Rudd
was called upon to bow his acknowl-
edgements of the rounds of applause
and Norrona of Moorhead also shared
in the outburst. Prof. O.. l. Hertsgaard,
the talented leader of the Norronas,
was elected director-in-chief Of t he
sangerfest to be given next year, prob
ably at Crookston and at about the
same time.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS EXEMPT
An Accessories. According to Decision
of Minnesota Supreme Court.

of Minnesota Supreme Court.
In an opinion by Justice Bum, of
the Minnesota supreme court, his as
sociates had no very great difficulty in
finding that piano stool and a plush
piano cover are "needful, if not strict
necessary, to the enjoyment of a
piano"
1t appears that in 4 1903 Mary E.
Thompson and her husband settled in
Luverne. MINI. While there they &C
quired a piano stool, cover. and, Of
course. a piano to go with them, from
Mrs. Thompson's father. While tenn
pararily absent from town in 1911 hey
stored their furniture. A grocer had
a bill of $13 against them, sued during
their absence. and levied IN the piano
and accessories mentioned. The de-
PENDANT, C. E. Peterson, was a deputy
sheriff and seized the goods. When
Mrs. Thompson returned she sued Pet
erson for unlawful seizure and recov-
cred $155.
The supreme court holds hat the
law exempts musical instruments from
seizure for debt. n incidentally in
terprets it to cover the other property
taken.

the politicians on outings.
Tom lives in an iron barred house in
Chinatown, and for months while
there are rumors Of war among the
tongs he is never seen outside his
door. When trouble is gone he ap-
pears. But within his armoced den he
plans for the gunner and the
gamblers who go out to fight. He has
done this for years and has always
escaped death though his enemies
would have killed him had they been
able to break through the iron doors.
Tom has escaped trouble with the
police, though they knew he handled
most of the gamblers Of Chinatown.
One reason might have been his readi-
ness to pay graft. but another was his
humor. He was a Chinese with hui
NOR, which is rare in a Chinese, and
he often laughed himself out of diff
ficult situations.
