TOWN CHANGES

Esmond, N. D., Feb. q. - one of

Der Of names in the six months OF it's
short existence. At first it was called
Ibach, pronounced E-bock), after the
name of the owner Of the land from
whom the townsite was bought. The
First State bank of Ibach, was duly
Incorporated. Then the name was for
some reason changed to Egan, after
the big st. Paul tea merchant, who
a considerable land in that vicinity.
The name of the bank was then
changed to First State bank of Egan.
When application was made for a
postoffice objection was made to the
name Egan, and SO it was changed TO
Balta. The name of the bank was
then changed to Pierce County State
bank, so another change of name, as
Tar as the bank is concerned, is now
somewhat unlikely.
Balta is now about to obtain a post
office and regular mail service, by way
of Rugby, until passenger and mail
trains commence running on the new
line in April. In April it is expected
that postoffices will be established in
all of the new towns on the 500, be-
tween Drake and Fortville, of which
there are sixteen in all. OF these

for the passenger trains. Box car
depots and thrice-a-week freights
have served the travelling public since
the line opened last fall. .

Court Makes the Law
"The committee has full confidence
in the integrity, intelligence and patri-
otism of the supreme court of the
United States, but 1t is unwilling to
repose in that court or any other court,
the vast and underlined powers which
1t must exercise in the administration
of the statutes under the rule which it
has promulgated. It substitutes the
court in place of congress, for when
ever the rule is invoked the court does
not administer the law, but makes the
law. If 1T continues in force. the fed
eral courts will, SO far as restraint of
trade is concerned, make a common
law for the United States Just as the
English courts have made a common
law for England.
THE people of this country will not
permit the courts to declare a policy
for them with respect to this subject.
IL we do not promptly exercise our leg
islative power, the courts will suffer
immeasurable injury In the loss of that
respect and confidence so essential to
their usefulness. 1t is inconceivabIe
that in a country that Is governed by

"SUIT" SWINDLERS
STILL At WORK

Medina Citizen: "For several
weeks past a couple of peddlers
of the smooth variety have been,
working out of Medina, and after
landing a big bunch of suckers,
have left for new fields. Their plan
was to visit the farmers homes and
sell the men Of the house cloth for
as many suits as they could work the
purchasers to buy. This was done
with the understanding. that a tailor
would be around In a few weeks ana
make up the suits at a nominal fig
ure. Nearly everyone solicited fell
for the suit deal. The cloth was sold
at prices equal to the cost of a suit
made up and in some instances coin
siderable more. A number were
caught for 800 and over. Several Of
the parties who had bought some of
the cloth became suspicious that
everything was not just as it should
be by Saturday evening, but by that
time 1t was too late to do anything
as the swindlers had made their get
away. We understand that most IF.
the suit victims were also caught in
a grocery swindle last fall.
we believe merchants could help
a great deal in counteracting this
peddler evil If they would take adj
vantage of the opportunity to exploit
their wares through the columns Of
the local newspaper. Keep ever last
ingly telling the people what you
have, the quality, the advantages Of
trading with people whom will make
good every item that is not as repre-
sented and tell them the price at
which you can sell each article. Re-
suits may not show up at first, but
the live adviser who sticks to it
VIII eventually get results. A little
more cooperation between the mer-
chants and farmers would help a
whole lot" .s

PERJURER met
PROMPT JUSTICE

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 27.-"No
person can come into this court and
deliberately perjure himself and get
away with 1t, without being called to
account" declared Judge C. w. Buttz
in denying the motion of States At
torney Cuthbert to dismiss the case
against August Piper. whose testi-
mony in a blind pig case yesterday
afternoon resulted in tie charge of
perjury being brought against him.
1T makes no difference whether it
is a blind pig, or not" continued the
judge, the time when a man can
come into court and make a joke out
of his testimony, is passed. If any
mar is willing to take a chance on
going to the state penitentiary in
an effort to clear some friend of the
charge of selling liquor, he will have
to stand the consequence.
Its time this kind of business stop
ped, and it's going to stop. The soon
er everyone knows it the better.
mo man can come into this court
and swear that he doesn't know the
difference between a glass of beer and
buttermilk."
The above declaration was made in
open court, just after the case Of the
state against Fred Egan and Peter
Waller, charged with maintaining a
common nuisance had gone to the
jury. In this case August Piper and
John Hunter were the main witnesses
for the state. When Piper was placed
on the state he contradicted in every
particular his testimony in the jus
tice court and his story to the states
attorney. The jury was ordered from
the room and Piper was formally
charged with perjury and placed I'M
der $2,500 bond to appear at the next
term of court.
Later Piper awoke to the realiza-
ton that something had happened.
He manifested his willingness to go
on the stand and tell the truth.
In moving that the charge against
Piper be dismissed Prosecutor Cuth-
bert declared that he believed the
man was under the influence of liquor
when on the stand first. He said he
believed Piper did not realize what
he was doing.
Attorney Anderson, in arguing for
the acquittal of Egan and Waller in
ferred there was some discrimination,
referring to a dozen other places"
operated during the winter.
The states attorney offered to
prosecute any if the opposing attor-
ney would file information.
When the jury retired in the Egan-
Waller case, it became known that
they were held under $500 bonds. The
states attorney moved for an in
crease.
In fixing the bond of each man in
the sum of $1,000, Judge Buttz de-
nOunced the fact that they had beeh
held on a charge so serious, under
$500 bond. This manner of d~ispens-

Prizes for Corn.

Darlington, N. D., Feb. 27.-Local
people are to offer cash prizes for the
best corn and alfalfa grown In Foster

be made to encourage the extension
OF both crops, as it is claimed the
land in this vicinity is especially
adapted to both. Alfalfa has done es-
pecially well because of. the moisture
underneath the ground at accessible
depths for that crop.
