EST0PS SALE OF
COURIER STOCK
Another Angle of Fargo
Newspaper Case is Heard
in District Court.

Fargo, N. D.. Aug. 2o.-Yeeterday
afternoon Judge G. A. Pollock sus-
pended the sale Of stock which had
been advertised for this forenoon, un-
til the court should examine the ques-
ton as to whether the stock is liable
to SO large IN assessment or not. The
Judge took the position that a ten per
cen assessment on the $4,000 capital
would clearly be legal; the other may
be, but the question must be examin-
ed.
1t will be recalled that, at the time
Of the Guild-More trial, it developed
that at the formation A. Y. More was
the sole me Of $4,000 worth Of
stock, and also held a mortgage for
transferred for $4,000 and other val
liable considerations $4,000 of his
stock to L. T. Guild. The jury in that
case fixed the value of the Courier
News, plant, equipment and goodwill
at that time, at s3o,50o. AND awarded
DR.. Guild s11,047 damages because Of
Misrepresentation and fraud in con-
nection with the sale Of the stock to
him by Mr.. More.
Why the Assessment?
BY resorting to an appeal Mr.. More
has avoided payment of the judgment
rendered against him. n in order to
meet necessary expenses of the bust
ness and to prepare for the payment
Of the Interest and such part OF the
principal as will soon be due, the di-
rectors of The Courier-News, upon the
advice of attorneys, levied an assess
ment Of $40 per share. II something
like this were not done, Of course Mr..
More could step in and foreclose his
mortgage while the judgment against
him is suspended by the appeal.
This assessment was paid by all
stockholders except Mr.. More, and &C
cording to statute provided this stock
was advertised for sale to pay the
assessment and the date Of sale was
fixed.
A Question Unsettled.
While the court has once fixed the
value of The Courier-News stock, that
fxation is not res judicata between
The Courier-News and Mr.. More, as
the case then in u was between
DR.. Guild and Mr.. More. In order to
make this assessment valid it would
be necessary to establish the value Of
the stock in his action. If that value
were less than par the stock Is habl
to assessment in noun sumcient 10
bring its value up to par.
Mortgage Will Not Be F~oreclosed.
It is now definitely certain that the
interest and payment on the mortgage
will be met, so that all rumors of
foreclosure and change Of manage
ment may be put to rest.

officer Immediately drew his gun and
fired. In the melee George Claenans,
who managed The rooming house, was
shot in the leg.
Fired From the Ground.
johnson crouched on the ground
after firing the first shot and contin-
ued shooting from the ground. The
men we're only a few feet apart and
It is only 6. miracle that Anderson e6-
capped being killed himself.
After the shooting had stopped the
negroes living in the vicinity hocked
around with threats to get the ofdcer
but he stood hls ground and held
them at bay until help came. When
The other officers arrived 1t vas
thought at first that h negro was
dead but examination revealed that
was summoned and both wounded
men were taken to the hospital whore
johnson died at 11:12.
Fight Starts Over Women.
The fight which attracted the at
tention Of Anderson was over a Won-
an. There was 6. white man who came
to the house in company with the

Among his effects was found a black

address of a resort-"Froeh Place.

o from following. Johnson drew
a revolver and threatened the people
who were trying to stop him from
carrying out his desire.
1t was at this time while high words
and some blows were being passed
among the negroes that Anderson ar
rived on the scene.
johnson only came to the city three
days ago from Chicago where he had
owned a small confectionery and to-
bacco store. A woman, who is reput-
ed to Sc his wife, accompanied him
to Fargo.
Had Bad Reputation.
He was a heavy drinking negro and
had a bad reputation among those Of
his own color. He was sure some bad
negro" said one Of the residents in
the house last night.
A cursory examination Of his effects
brought to light a, great variety OF
dice and other paraphernalia dear to
the heart of the colored tribe. He was
the possessor of a large number Of
extensively made suits and a%ccessor-
les to match.

THE German troops on the north
bank Of the Mouse comprise sections

Of Liege. and who are now disengaged.
There also are bodies Of cavalry
thanks to which the Germans have
been able to make considerable dis
turbance and extend themselves north
and south.
"On the south the allied Belgian
and French armies have been able to
repulse them, but on the north, on
the contrary, they have had a free

bodies far into the country.
Secret Plan.
"In a word. the Germans have TAX

have wasted fifteen days in arriving
at this result, which is greatly to the
honor of our enemy. 1t is not a ques-
ton of single battle e%volutions or cap

or of towns. These matters are sec
ondary in regard to the object as
signed u troops in the general dis.
positions. This aim cannot be re-
vealed, and the most penetrating
minds will be unable to discover It
owing to the necessarily vague par
ticulars furnished concerning the OPP
erations.
Fighting is proceeding on the
whole front, extending from Basic,
Switzerland, to Diest, Belgium, and in

There is no need for us to play

for beating the enemy under the best
possible conditions.
The public should. in this matter,
place full confidence in the command

trustful Of the outcome of the strug-

newspapers should abstain from men

Overwhelming Numbers.
Brussels, Aug. 20.-It was the turn
of the Germans Wednesday to move
forward. The enemy in considerable
force appeared at several points on
our front, and pressed in by over
whelming numbers. The allies gave
ground slowly, evacuating their ad-
vance positions, which they occupied
as a result Of Tuesdays great cavalry
drive.
The Germans Aired several shells
