Burns Is Held
For Trial

S. A. Burns was given hear
ing Friday before Justice of the
Peace AL Panger. on the charge
of numbering Helge Sexse. The
hearing took place at Frank Me-
Intosh's place on the Mckenzie
county side of Raum's ferry.
A strong chain of circumstan-
tial evidence was woven around
the defendant who interposed no
defense and was bound over to
the district court on the charge
of murder in the first degree.
The hearing was attended by
a large number of neighbors of
both the murdered man and the
accused. who are incensed over
the cold-blooded affair.
There seems to be some doubt
as to which county has jurisdic-
ton of this case. The dead body
of Sexse was found on the VIII
liams county side and there is no
evidence as yet that the deed was
committed in Mckenzie county.
This case will mean considerable
expense for the county that takes

May Sue City

Bismarck, N. D., June 3d.
Business men here whose stores
were flooded, following the
scloudburst over the Heart river
are threatening to bring suit
against the city for not providing
proper sewers to carry off the
water.
Several times previoua base
ments and streets have been
flooded.
Bismarck suffered much
greater loss than Mandan in the
cloudburst of Sunday afternoon.
The water poured down the cap
itol hill and into the business sec
ton of the city. Damage in the
capital city is estimated at $780,
900. -'.~
The water was from one to
two feet deep on the streets.
The basement pool hall in the
Mckenzie hotel was flooded as
was the barber shop. The dam
age done to these places will be
great. Every basement along
Main street was flooded.
The Webb and Lucus depart
rnent stores suffered big loss to
goods stored in the basement.
At one time the water was a
foot deep in the lobby of the Me-
kenzie hotel. The sewers prov
ed inadequate to carry off the
water and channels were cut
through the middle of some of
the streets by the force of the
water.

mo advising me of the petition
from Rurkey that we run the line
through that town.
| beg to advise you that we
have very thoroughly investigat-
ed the possibility of running the
line through Burkey. but that
owing to the character of the
country enormously expensive
work for grading and extremely
heavy grades woud be necessary
to accomplish this. therefore we
have had to give up the plan.
The location which we have sell
ected runs about three miles west
of Burkey, which is as close as it
IS practicable for us to place the
line.

of way maps from the engineer
ing department within the next
few days and Mr.. Watson will
then go to Beach to see you.

Big Fire Early
This Morning
The Wand Auto Garage De.
stroyed by Fire Along With
Four Automobiles and Other
Property-Firemen on the
Job.

About seven o clock this morn
ing the hremen were called out
to find the Wand auto garage in
flames and before the fire could
be put out the property and con-
tents in the buildings were de-
stroyed, including four automo-
biles.
The garage occupied two
buildings. one belonging to Robt.
Wand and the other being own
ed by some outside party which
was rented. They stood side by
side on Frazer street west and
south of the First National bank.
The men had gone to work and
were repairing a car belonging to
E. Harvey when it back6red and
set the interior a6re. On ac-
count fothe oil and grease abou,
the place it was beyond control
Immediately and drove the men
from the building. When the
6remen arrived both buildings
were mass of flames inside and
by the time the fire was put ou,
the property was total loss.
The four cars destroyed were

niger. an American roadster be.
longing to E. Harvey, a Buick
belonging to the Haskell auto
company of Glendive, and ar
Everett touring car belonging tc
some outside party.
Mr.. Wand carried $500 insur'
ance on his building and $1,000
on the machinery and equipment
the cars being uninsured.
On account of the large guam
titles of oil and grease the 6rt
burned 6ercely and it was will

Advance Editor
Jury Selected by Editor Of Beach
Advance Brings in Verdict
Axainst Brinton'd Appointees
Gaze to Go to Higher Court
-Callagher and Jones for Hos
title Aldermen.

The case against the city insti-
tuted by S. A. Smith for services
as policeman came to hearing
last Saturday and was set before
r. o. Zollinger. city justice and
Aed;tor of the Beach Advance.
A jury was called for by the
plaintiff, was drawn by the JUS
tice and after hearing the case re-
turned a verdict in favor Of the
aldermen who refused to pay Mr..
Smith 8 salary.
The case was brought by Mr..
Smith after the hostile council re-
A.sed to pay his bill for his first
months salary. 1t was set be-
fore Justice Heath and Gallagher
and Jones who were employed
by the aldermen to represent
them, took change of venue
and it was then set before Vim.
Rosenberg. As the city justices
had all expressed an opinion re-
garding the merits of the case
and the facts leading up to it.
Smith endeavored to get it tried
before some out-of-town justice.
AMI took change of venue also,
with the result that it was set be-
fore the advance editor who has
often commented upon the facts
in the case publicly through the
columns of the paper, so the re-
suit is not at all surprising.
Atty. Parks handled the case
for Smith and presented it in a
very able manner. while Gallagh-
er and Jones appeared for the al
dermen and made attacks on the
mayor and claimed he should
pay the policemen himself-as
he had hired them.
The case will be taken to the
district court and Mr.. Smith in
forms the Chronicle that if the
council refuses to pay his second
mbnth's salary he intends bring
another action before justice a,
