STATES ATTORNEY HANSON
LOSES OUT IN HIS SUIT
AGAINST BOARD.
Commissioners Had Acted
According Ii Stale Law
COUNTY PAYS EXPENSE OF
BOTH THE PROSECUTION
AND THE DEFENSE.

Judge Buttz q few days ago
handed down his decision sustain
ing the county board in the case
of the State of North Dakota ex
rel II. A. Hanson, states attorney
Of Burke county VS.. the board Of
Burke icounty mmissioners. In
this case States Attorney Hanson
on petition OF a number of citizens
of Burke county brought suit to
RESTRAIN the county board from
paying Attorney Geo. A. Bangs Of
Grand Forks his fee for defending
the county canvassing board in the
case where the citizens Of Ignite
contested the general election i'll
the fall of 1910. AS soon as the
papers were served on the canvass
ing board T.. B. Andrews who was
states attorney at that time asked
the board for assistance in defend
ing the action, and suggested that
Mr.. Bangs be employed. The
board employed Mr.. Bangs and he
has acted as counsel ever since.
Several hundred dollars were paid
to Mr.. Bangs during the past few
years and States Attorney Hanson
sought to recover this money and
restrain the board from paying
over any more of the county's funds.
The case was tried at the term of
district court last June, but a de-
cision was not haaded down until
a few days ago. This is a case in
which the county paid the costs Of
both the prosecution and the de-
tense. Mr.. Hanson tells US that
the case will not be appealed. ae55e

FATHER RESCUED THIRD son
WHO ATTEMPTED TO SAVE
BROTHERS..

Ross, N. D., March 26.--Andrew
and Lawrence Archer, two we'll
known Ross young men, died from
the effects of gas in a fifty foot
well on their fathers homestead
on the reservation south of Ross.
The boys were digging a we'll and
had gotten down so feet, succeed
ing in getting some water When
they returned to work that after
noon the water had mysteriously
disappeared and Lawrence was let
down in a bucket to investigate.
When near the bottom he fell.
His brother. Andrew, frantically
climbed down the rope and when
but twelve feet down he too was
overcome and fell to the bottom.
A third brother. Harry, secured a
rope, tied it about his waist, and
the father let him into the we'll,
but when twelve feet down he too
was overcome. The father pulled
him out and after some time he
regained consciousness. The neigh
bors were called and at IL o'clock
that night the bodies were taken
from the we'll. This is one of the
worst tragedies that has occurred
in the Ross country.

they were caught in the smoke and

The boy did heroic work in saw

the purpose OF talking over various
propositions whereby he could fur
nish this city with electricity. He
explained that with a line from por.

very reasonable figure. He stated
that he could sell several thousand
dollars worth of stock to some
friends in Iowa who We're looking

sure the balance Z: the money
could be raised in the three towns
which the plant would serve.
When asked why the plant could
not be built in Bowbells instead OF
Portal, Mr. Alters stated that 1t
would make no difference to him
where the plant was located. In
fact he would rather live in Bow
bells than Portal. but that Ignite
coal could be bought at Portal at
a much lower price than it could
here, and it was up to him to put
the plant where it could be run at
the least possible expense.
1t was decided at the meeting to
call a meeting at FlaXton soon and
put the proposition before the peo-
pie there, and then later call still

TO ESTABLISH ONE
CENT A MILE RATE
NEW RATE FOR SETTLERS TO
THIS SECTION ON AND
AFTER MAY FIRST.

Minot, n. D.. March 26.-The
500 Line will establish a one-cent
per mile rate for settlers on or
about May 1st, according to ru-
NOR said to come from authentic
quarters.
1t is said that the 500 Line will
establish a minimum round-trip
fare OF $500 from Minneapolis
and St. Paul and that all settlers
coming to the Minot district will
be given u One-cent per mile rate.
1t is asserted that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has approv-
ed of this plan. The new rates,
however, will be granted to parties
Of five or more.
Providing the 500 Line grants
the one cent per mile rate 1t is
believed that the other railroads
coming into the state will also
make substantial reduction and
this means hundreds of new set
tiers for this section and other
parts of North Dakota.
