Suit to Drag Through

Arguments regarding points of law
took up much of the time today in

stretched across the bridge approach

as far as Third street were objected
to by H. A Bronson, attorney for
Mrs. Wagner. and the objections were
sustained by the court.
Three Workmen employed on the
bridge at the time Of the accident.
testified that the rope was plainly Wis.
ible.
The last of these. bud" Dietz,
whose English vocabulary was decid-
eddy limited caused considerable spar
ring between the attorneys by the
contradictory nature Of his replies to
the questions asked him.
The defense plans to put the rope
which caused the accident in as evi
dence this afternoon. the object be-
ing to demonstrate that it should
have been plainly visible at the time
the accident is alleged to have oc-
CURED.
A request made late Wednesday by
the prosecution, that the case of Mrs.
Wagner, and hat Of her husband,
whose damage action against the city
Is also pending, was refused by the
city on the ground that it would tend
to complicate the issue.
The case is proving more drawn
out than was expected, and may not

BUSINESS IS Up
TO LAST SEASON
Grand Forks Merchants De
clare Present Christmas
Shopping Outlook Good

Grand Forks residents are not do
ing as much Christmas shopping as
last year, SO declared several Grand
Forks merchants today.
The dealers, however, are looking
for an increase during the remaining
five shopping days. Christmas is but
one week from today. and they look
for a big increase Saturday.
THE fact remains. however," said
n dealer today. Grand Forks and
northern North Dakota people gem
orally have not done as much shop
ping as they did last year. We pre-
pared o a big season, but the trade
has not reached u expectations.
II think that the weather has at
fected trade considerably. Some peo-
pie may laugh at the idea, but the
lack of the Christmas spirit has caus-
ed a falling off in the shopping.
When the Christmas spirit gets hold
Of a person, he buys and buys, but
there has been no weather to create
such a spirit. If we had a good snow
two weeks ago, there Is no doubt that
our business would have been largely
increased. OF course, a snow storm
would hurt us now. There are Just
five days left. and the people who
have neglected to buy will want good
weather to get to town.
There is every indication that the
Christmas shopping will pick up Sat-
urday. There undoubtedly are a large
number Of people who have faild to
buy their gifts. and they will begin to
make their presence known Satur-
day."

The two girls are said to have dis
