MORTON co. IS CHANGING
KNOLL SERVING IN JAIL

Attorney F. C. Heffron of the firm
of Heffron & Baird, is getting the offen-
ders of prohibition law on the run in
Morton county. Mr.. Heffron is special
prosecutor for the attorney general.
When he first went into Morton county
it was specially hard to get convic-
tion, for the justices were not inclined
to consider evidence and in court the
jurors were determined to acquit every
person charged with blind pigging.
Last May the jury in the Ferdinand
Knoll case. in the face of positive evi-
dence that the man charged had been
selling liquor, returned verdict of not
guilty. Judge Crawford was presiding
and was so displeased with the conduct
of the jurors that he told them they had
violated their oath of Office.
Ferdinand Knoll, a former Judson
offender, went out and Dragged that
the courts could not get him. He kept
on selling and last Saturday was in
court at Mandan for contempt. He drew
100 days in Jail and fine and costs of
$425 with 200 days additional in the
event that he did not pay the fine.
Knoll makes the sixth man serving
time at Mandan for violation of the
prohibition law.

JOSEPH scnEuTz WINS
CONTEST CASE AGAIN

A homestead contest in which con-
siderable interest has been taken by
the people in the country moth of town
was decided by commissioners of the
general land Office last week. Joseph
Scheffer was the contestant who tried
to knock out Joseph Scheutz's title to a
quarter section of land a few miles
north of New England. The case was
decided by the register and receiver of
the local land office at Dickinson. who
ruled in favor of the entryman. Scheffer
was not satisfied with the decision of
the local land Office. so took an appeal
and had the case submitted to the COM
missioner of the general land Office at
Washington. The commissioner sus-
tained the ruling of the Dickinson land
Office and Scheutz is still in possession
of his homestead. Scheffer could take
another appeal and have the case de-
cided by the secretary of the interior.
1t seems to many of the neighb0rs that
the appeal was taken more as matter of
spite than on the merits of the case.
Mr.. Scheutz has been put 10 quite an
expense and, according to the ruling of
the commissioner. for no good reason.
Miller & Thress handled the case for
Mr.. Scheutz.-Herald.

rooms are arranged along the Sims
street front with a toilet next the stairs.
Two more large rooms are in front and
the corner one connects with the first
side one so that any number desired may
be..used en- suite. The..wall finish is uni
form throughout deep cream or buff.
All the floors in the building are maple
and all the interior finish oak. The
roof drains to the sewer. As in all down
town blocks central heat is used.
The building was erected by the Wal
ton & Davis Co., Charles Bake doing
the brick work. Lee Auner. the carpen-
ter work. J. W. Molloy installing the
heating and plumbing. D. A. Cutnaw
the electric wiring and Frank Hewes
doing the interior finishing and the
decorating. The finished building is a
credit to the work of all these and the
total cost will be about.s 600. The
bricks were furnished by the North Da-
kota Pressed Brick Co., the brick plant
east of the city.
Mrs. Walton has had many applica-
tions from .would-be renters but has
made no definite arrangements for the
occupancy of her rooms.
Mrs. Walton has been q resident of
Dickinson since the early eighties.
Even before her marriage to Mr.. Walton
June 1st, 1887. her family, the Nc
Weighs. were prominent in this part Of
the state. With Mr.. Walton she cast
her fortunes here and since his death
she has shown no desire to remove else
where. The large permanent invest
ment in the Walton block shows her
continued faith in both the city and
surrounding country.

JOHN BRuEeeER WINS
THAT NEWSPAPER DEAL

Joha Brueeger. national democratic
committeeman for North Dakota. won
his case in district court at Fargo last
week. The Northern Trust Co. had
brought suit against Mr.. Bruegger to re-
cover s5, 600 on certain note given
the old Daily News (now the Courier
News) about two years ago.
The note was given conditionally.
One OF the things the paper was to do
was to support the democratic party. 1t
was also agreed that if a certain
amount of money could not be raised
and the Daily News Indebtedness paid
off, then the notes Of Mr.. Bruegger and
several others over the state were not
to be of any value. II turned out. how

of the men who had entered into this
paper agreement had their notes return

contributed of their cash believe that
they have good chance to get their
money back.

FORTUNE HUNTER"
BIJOU ATTRACTION
One of the Great American Comedies,
Appearing for Its Initial Popular
Priced Week

1.-The Fortune Hunter Winchell
Smiths comedy, will be the attraction at
the Bijou this week, with regular matt
nees.
The story of 'The Fortune Hunter" is
direct and simple. and is drawn from
life with character types familiar to the
average American. In his making of the
play Winchell Smith has told the story
with humor, with here and there a touch
of pathos. The piece tells of the regen-
Grafton of young man of today through
his own efforts and the finding of his
true self comes only with the working
out of base scheme which would lead
to getting his fortune through marriage
with an heress
The play begins with the appearance of
Nat Duncan, who has been complete
failure in everything he has attempted,
in the apartments of his chum, Harry
Kellogg, who has been the great oppo-
site-successful to the highest degree.
Nat is desperate, refuses to accept more
favors, from Kellogg, and is ready for
suicide or crime to get relief from his
struggles for money. When he finds Nat
in this frame of mind, Kellogg unfolds
scheme and the down and out Nat agrees
to work it out According to the rules,
he is bound in honor to live for year
in small country town, selected by Kel-
logg, forswear all former habits and lead
an exemplary life in the village.
