Superior Court.

In the Superior court Friday the
case of Eliza Murray VS. the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen was disposed of. Mrs. Muir
ray was the mother of John E. Muir
raw who died in New Haven and who
carried insurance in the organization
to the amount of $500. After his
death there were two claimants for the
money, his mother, Mrs. Eliza Muir
ray of Pomfret, and one Adelaide Le-
brecque who said she was Murray's
wife. The Brotherhood did not dis
pute that the m oney was due
some one, but did not know to which
claimant it should be paid. They filed
a reply to Mrs. Murray's claim in the
nature of bill of interpIeader and
paid the money into court for the
court to decide to whom it should be
paid. Counsel for the Lebrecque wo-
man gave notice that he had with
drawn from the case. Counsel agreed
as to the disposition of the case except
as to an allowance of interest for pc
Rod of two months which will be de-
cided by the court. The money will
be paid over except for deduction of
1884, allowance for counsel fees and
expenses of defendants attorney.
On Thursday the case of State VS. Ze-
Totes Pike of Canterbury charged with
unlawfully killing deer is being
tried. The state is attempting to show
by its witnesses that the defendant
shot the deer on his farm in ICanter-
bury from the window of shed. They
testified that there was no evidence of
recent damage by deer in the lot where
it is admitted by Pike that he killed
the animal. They Testified that there
was no evidence of recent damage by
deer in the lot where it is admitted by
Pike that he killed 1.-THE animal. They
also testify that there was the appear
ance of salt having been sprinkled
about. There has been little or no
cross examination of the states wit
nesses and apparently the defense will
be that the animal was shot while do
ing damage to peach trees.

point that a wide difference of opin-

not object to giving notes payable on
completion and operation Of the line,
or might agree to making notes and
depositing them with a third party to

line. but the greater Tart will object
to turning the notes over when the
line is nearly surveyed. Too many

NINOT CLUB PLANS
GREAT CAMPAIGN

Minot, N. D.,~~Jan. -13.-With the
slogan, "a Maximum Commercial Club
Is a 'City's Opportunity" the M1not
business men have collaborated in re-
organizing a new commercial club in
this city which bids fair to add con-
siderably to the prestige and to the
growth of the city. The .re-organiza-
tention Of everyone Interested In the
change which includes everyone IN the
city, to make the club strong enough 70
dominate every move made by the CITY
as a civic body. Should the plans of
the promoters become successful, Minot
will have one of the strongest clubs IN
the northwest, if not the strongest, and
doubtedly be a great one In conjunc-
ton with the new club, a ladies aux
Hilary civic club will be formed, the
purpose of which is to aid in the pro-
motion of the "city beautiful" i've
ment which has 80 gained in favor
throughout the country. Plans will be
laid by this club for the identifying OF
amusement PLACES and handsome drives
will all be laid out on paper for future
endeavor. t.L
That the city is stirred over the
is putting it very mild as
the business men who have felt the
of such a upheava1 for some Time
are joining almost unanimously into
weight toward it's success.
Several mass meetings have been
called already and more will follow
for the rest Of the week. The club
dues have been lowered and an i'm
mense membership is expected.

NINOT PROTESTS
AGAINST TRAIN SERVICE

Minot, N. D., Jan. ia storm of
protest is arising from the travelling
public of Minot, largely consisting of
the travelling men who make this city
their home, over the conditions in the
way Of transportation over the Great
Northern railroad. Several formal
protests have been made to the rail-
road officials and it is planned to have
the commercial club take up the fight
unless some change is made in the
near future. AS matters stand now,
the service between Minot and Grand
Forks is very poor, and even with
the new cutoff in operation, the serv-
ice to Fargo is nearly as bad. There
are no daylight trains of any kind
in or out Of Minot from or to the east
at present which are limited trains,
and a howl of protest is rising up
throughout the district. Devils Lake,
on the other hand, has four daylight
trains both ways connecting them with
Grand Forks, and a serious effort is
to be made Immediately to coIrecS
poor service. Since the rear
Of the service in this d.
vision, the 500 railroad has been
growing steadily in popularity and un-
less some changes are made in the
future, the bulk OF the traffic
will be carried on we that RAILROAD.
