OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Hurst was charged with receiving
deposits fer the bank after knowing
it to be in an insolvent condition.
After his conviction by the lower
court an appeal was filed with the
supreme court subsequently it was
indicated that this appeal might he
withdrawn, and today this action was
formally taken by Hurst's attorney.
The appeal was then dismissed by the
court.
In the case Of the Mansfield Gas
ccm aany VS.. W T. Parkhill of Sc
bastian county, involving the cancel
lation Of a gas. oil and mineral lease,
the supreme court affirmed the
Tower courts action i'nsus aiming the
cancellation of the lease.
The gas company secured lease
On certain property for no considera-
ton of value other than the prospec-
tive royalties to the owner. Work
was not commenced in the develop
ment of the property for several
years, however. and the owner started
TO make other arrangements, when
the company objected on the ground
that nothing had been said as to when
they should begin operations on the
land.
The courj. in deciding the case,
cited a former opinion, in which it
was held that, where royalties alone
arc the sideration for lease, faiI-
lre to begin active work within eight
months is equivalent to abandonment
of the lease.

DANCERS to the Eye.

Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical illu-
minating expert. and DR.. +. II. Yer
hoeff, an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the a!
legged dangers to the eye from ultra.
violet radiation Of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount to nothing
at all. They admit that there have
been many Sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason of injurious effects OF ultra
violet or actinic rays, but these have
entirely neglected any quantitativa
relation between the radiation and its
supposed pathological effects" Very
little Of these rays can penetrate the
cornea, and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that struggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude.
in cutting off dazzling lights and un-
due heat.

W a X ID COU NTY WOODMEN
AGAINST SUNBEAM FACTION
AND THOSE WHOSE AIM is TO
GET OFFICE.

The Ward county Modern Woodmen
at their county convention held in this
city Wednesday afternoon, elected J.
B. Weinberger of kenmare as chair
man of the convention and c. B. Davis
of Minot as secretary, L. A. Corey was
elected as delegate to the state con-
vention to be held at Bismarck in
May.
The sentiment Of the county conven-
ton was that rate adjustment was a
problem for cool-headed, intelligent
men, and that 'in our opinion John L.
Sunbeam and those neighbors in this
state who have aided and assisted him
in his efforts to disrupt the order un-
der the pretense Of saving it, are not
such men as we would or could safely
choose to readjust the problem of
rates; neither are those neighbors now
agitating in behalf of men whose only
avowed purpose is to secure the Offices,
such men as we would trust in the
settlement Of the great question which
means life or death to this order," and
that only delegates to the head camp
be elected who can be trusted in this
crisis to act intelligently, honestly and
conservatively, having in mind only
the future welfare of the order.

DISTRIBUTION Of
ROAD funds
EARLY DISTRIBUTION OF AUTO
MOBILE FEES MAKES MUCH
ROAD WORK POSSIBLE THIS
SEASON.

The first distribution to the counties
Of the state out of the motor vehicle
license fund of 1914 was made April
1st by Thomas Hall, Secretary Of
State. During the three months that
the distribution covers, 5,519 automo-
biles and 225 motorcycles were licens-
ed. Out Of the $17,322.00 received for
licenses $13,908.60 was distributed for
the improvement of county roads; the
balance, $3,413.40, has been put aside
for the cost of tags, postage, clerk
hire, etc. Out of the $13,9O8.6O, Ward
county has received $373.60 for 147
automobiles and motorcycles. The
money coming this early makes it
available for use in improving our
country roads early in the season.
Distributions of this motor vehicle
fund will be made monthly hereafter.
The chiefs of police Of fifty cities
and the county commissioners of every
county in the state have been asked
for their earnest cooperation in the
enforcement Of the motor vehicle Ii.
cense law. It is misdemeanor to op.
crate motor vehicle without a tag
Mr.. Hall does not want the law to be
regarded as dead letter, for its en-.
forcement means not only safety te
the public, but the Improvement of oul
country roads as well. Judging from
last years figures there are no less
than 5000 unlicensed motor vehicles
in the state at this time.

BOLD ROBBERY At
LEXINGTON HOTEL
DARING NEGRO WITH MASKED
FACE COVERS CLERK WITH A
WICKED LOOKING GUN AND
SECURES ABOUT $35 EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING.

The office Of the Lexington hotel
was held up by lone highwayman
at $3.50 o'clock Saturday morning. The
only occupants of the lobby were the
clerk and the night porter when man
who appeared to be negro entered
and at the point of a wicked looking
revolver demanded money.
"Don't make an outcry or I'll fill
you full of bullets" he said to the
clerk-and the order was obeyed. The
burglar secured $31.85 from the till
and departed before he could be
caught. Two minutes later Police
men Bakeman and Dwire were on tho
track of the fellow, who ran west to-
wards the G. N. viaduct and darted
behind some buildings. No clue has
been secured.
The burglar appeared to be negro
with handkerchief over his face but
