ARGUE MOTION FOR
A NEW TRIAL
BLENKNER WANTS A NEW
TRIAL IN THE ROZEN- N-BLENK-
@ NER CIVIL SUIT.

Attorney Geo. H.. Gjertsen of this
city went to Minot Monday where
he the same afternoon argued a
motion for q new trial in the case
of Max RoZen VS.. R, r. Blenkner.
1t will be remembered that over
two years ago Mr.. Blenkner en-
ployed Rozen to conduct sale here
at the Blenkner store, and that
before the fulfillment of the agree
ment on the part of either Of the
parties, quarrel ensued, and Rozen
was ordered to leave the Blenkner
premises. A short time later
Rozen sued Blenkner for alleged
commission due him from the sales
made, and after a trial held here
got judgment against the local man
for some over 5000. Shortly af-
ter the Judgment was docketed
Rozen periured himself in another
case. and Immediately got out of
the country to avoid arrest A
short time ago his attorney, E. r.
Sinkler, got an execution from the
clerk of court, and handad same to
Sheriff Stainhofer with orders that
same be served. Before the exc
cution was served Blenkner through
his attorney, Mr.. Gjcrtsen, applied
for a new trial. The motion was
argued at the court chambers at
Minot Monday with Gjertsen for
Blenkner and Sinkler for Rozen.
The court took the matter under
advisement and a decision might
be expected in a week or ten days.

BASKET BALL GAME
SATURDAY EVENING
PICKED TEANL,FRoM BOWBELLs
TO HAVE. II. OUT WITH
.FLAXTON SCHOOL TEAM.

The next basket ball game to
take place in Bowbells will be on
Saturday evening of this week at
the local opera house when a picked
team of Bowbclls players will have
it out with the Flaxton saAAm.
The Bowbells school tsasHs@as de-
feated by the Flaxtbm team at a
game played some weeks ago, and
also defeated all other teams with
which it played since that time.
In fact the Flaxtons bunch is claim
ing tha championship of this sec
tion of the state. The .Bowbells
boys are making all sorts of plans
by which the visitors can be beaten,
and q very exciting game is lookod
for. This winter has been the first
for some time that the school boys
took part in atheletic, contests, and
as it:,rost some money to keep the
teams 3up, it behooves all residents
of the city to attend the various
entertainments given, and contri-
butte their mite to help, support the
boys.

writing residents of the slope who
are familiar with the situation for
advice. The answers are in near
ly every case that the situation
with the Indians is worse than the
average year. but because of the
unusually favorable weather condi-
tions the Indians have not serious
ly suffered SO far. ss.11. -:
1t is probable the Indian depart
ment will be induced to take some
active steps for the relief of the
Indians and, will issue special ra-
tions. The Indians are entitled to
$40 annuity from the governm ent.
If this is paid Immediately it is
thought it will greatly help many
Of them to tide over the rest of
the winter. An addition of $40

twenty-seven coyotes, six grey
wolves, four bobcats, two racoons,
and a number of other fur-bearing
animals were trapped during the
last two months by l.. Prettywood

the Ft. Berthold Indian reservation
in the eastern part of the county.
The men arrived here Tuesday
with the skins of the animals. Af-
ter exhibiting them for the county
auditors inspection here and filing
the necessary affidavit they were
given certificate for the state
bounty amounting to $322.50. The
coyote skins will bring an equal
amount on the market, making a
total of nearly $500 for these ami
mails alone.
s: For the six grey w5rves Che trap
pers will receive an amount nearly
equal to that obtained for the 127
coyotes. In addition to the state
bounty of $3.50 on grey wolves,
the county commissioners pay a
bounty of SIS the Mckenzie. Coun-
ty Stock association SIS, and a
number of stockmen on the reser-
vation s35. This makes total
of $67.50 for each grey wolf kill
ed in this part OF the county The
wolf skins sold for $40 each which
together with the other furs sold
will bring the grand total to we'll
over $1,000.
Jackrabbits caused the trappers
no small amount of trouble by
springing the traps. They caught
|over- 900 of these animals in their
line of traps during the two months
which were practically Of no value
except for bait.

STEf0NOW|Cz WINS
WRESTLING MATCH
WINS TWO ROUNDS AND LOSES
ONE WITH GREEK LAST
FRIDAY EVENING.

Those who attended the wrestling
match at the loca1 opera house on
Friday evening last when S. y.
stefonowicz of this city and Mallo,-
Hazakos of Estevan. Sask., had it
out on the mat, are sure it was
the best contest of this kind they
have ever witnessed. The men SEEM
ed to be very evenly matched, and
though Stefon showed plainly that
he had little over the Greek on
strength, the Greek had little
over on Stefon on science. The
first round lasted 81 minutes and
was won by Stefon. The next
round lasted about 27 minutes and
was won by Hazakos. The last
round was the most interesting.
Both men were pretty much tired
out, but went to 1t the best they
knew how, and finally at the end
of about half an hour Stefon sue
ceedcd in throwing the Greek
again, and thereby won the match.
Both men showed unusual skill in
being able to get out of tight
places.

DEMAND RESIGNATION
10F SHERIFF ERICKSON
GENERAL MILLER
TAKES A HAND IN INVESTI-
CATION AT WILLISTON.

/. Williston, N. D., Dec. 81 The
resignation of Sheriff Carl Erickson,
the only socialist official in Will
liams county. has been demanded
as a result of the lynching Of Cleve
Culbertson, murderer Of the. Dillon
family. in Williston last Tuesday.
Attorney General Andrew Miller
is on the scene now and has join
ed forces with States Attorney U.
l.. Burdick in Investigating the
hanging and shooting of the Will
liams county prisoner by a masked
and armed mob of so men.
& The sheriff was brought cup on
the carpet, Saturday and it was
found by those conducting the in
quiry that he ''did not exercise due
diligence to prevent the lynching
sof Culbertson. 2 1t was pointed
out that he should have taken ex-
ira precautions to protect his pris-
oner following the appearance of a
mob at the prison the Saturday be-
fore the lynching. At that time
the crowd made a fuss. but was
finally pursuaded to go away. It
was shown that the sheriff could
easily have saved the prisoners
life if he had spirited him away to
a Jail in some other county or
town, and that under the circum-
stances he should have taken some
such action.
Attorney General Miller states
that he and Mr.. Burdick intend to
get at the bottom of the lynching
and will not rest until they discov-
er the identity of the ringleaders.
They are working on the possibili-
ty that the lynchers might have
come from the vicinity of the Dill
Ion home. Montana, Canada, or
even Williston, and that they might
have come from all three. While
the authorities will say nothing nothing
for publication, they hint thar fsir-
ther developments IN the case Of a
very sensational nature may be
expected.
Attorney General Miller will
probably leave Williston in a day 1:y
or two. Burdick will complete the
investigation by himself, it is ex-
pecte$
Culbertson will be cremated, un-
less other word is received from his
wife, deserted in the west who
may come here, although this is not
expected.

VISIT GRAIN
BUYER At PERELLA
II. T. GRAVES IS HONORED BY
VISIT FROM ROBBERS, BUT
NOTHING IS TAKEN.

At between two and three o'clock
on Sunday morning Of this week
two masked men MADE their ap-
pcarance at the sleeping apartments
of II. r. Graves, buyer at the ele-
vator at Perella, six miles north
of here, and after finding nothing
there worth taking they departed.
Mr.. Graves was suddenly awaken
ed by a loud pounding on the door
and a demand for admittance.
Without giving the matter any
thought he complied with the re-
quest and the two men entered.
They first asked him if he paid
cash for grain, and he replied that
he paid in checks. They then
asked him how much money he
had on handl and he proved to
their satisfaction that about 80
cents was the extent of his hold
ings of real cash at that moment,
his pay check being deposited at
a local bank each month immedi-
ately after he got it, and that he
never had any cash around. They
then looked over his trunk and on
finding nothing of value, they left.
The men arrived at Perella and
left in a single buggy. drawn by a
single horse. One was about six
feet high, slender, weight about
1SO pounds, peaked nose. while
the other was small, being about
five feet four inches high, heavy
built weight about 100 pounds.
and had very pleasant voice and
manners. Both wore short sheep
skin coats and black caps. Just
as they were leaving town Mr..
Graves heard one remark to the
other that "there was nothing
worth while" Though the men
displayed no guns, it is plain that
their purpose was robbery, and
that had Mr.. Graves any money
with him belonging either to the
elevator company or to himself. 1t
would have been taken from him.
