Until monday
Judge Raymond Asks His
Attorney for a
Brief.
DEFENDANT is SMILING
-Four Felony Indictments
Hanging Over Head of
Former Banker.

. . H . H .
An able exposition of the fine techni-
calities OF law was made today by at
torney Charles Powell assisted by. At
torney Kemble White in a vigorous Of
tort to persuade Circuit Court Judge
w. S. Raymond to quash the four fel-
ony indictments against Joseph H.
Mills, who conducted a stock broker
age office in the Nuzum building
which is referred to in popular discus
sion as a bucket shop.
Mr.. Mills appeared in court today
with his attorneys, well dressed and
smilingly confident as ever, despite
the fact that his business is in the
hands of trustees and that his custom
.ers say that from $4,000 to $4,000
placed in Mills hands is all gone ex-
eept about $4,000.
Attorney Powell's exposition OF the
law in his effort to save his client
from punishment by having the indict-
ments quashed, thus preventing the
case from going to trial was OF such
an intricate character that Judge Hay
mond requested that! q summary OF the
argument be handed ito him in the
form OF a brief Prosecuting Attor-
neyl Tusca Morris requested "a little
time in which ito! prepare an answer
to !fTs PoReli:s Rrsuuasuts4sto1r 1rnasii
and SO The court adj djourned until Mon
day morning at 10 clock when the
argument will be resumed. ! (
One OF the four felony indictments
returned by Marion county grand jur-
les against Mills charges himiwithi lar.
cenyyin that he secured $500 from Car.
rol Currey by alleged misleading de-
clarations. q z
Mills Is said to have declared to Cur.
rey that he had purchased for Currey
100 shares of Baltimore & Ohio rail.
road stock, for 90S, or total OF
a little over $4,000. 1t was as aSresult
OF this declaration, the indictment
AYERS, that Currey was induced to turn
over the $500 to Mills, who is is aver
red, told Currey that the stock was
purchased and ready for delivery at
any time the full amount was paid.
The other indictments are Of similar
character, charging that various am.
cunts had been secured by Mills from
his customers in an unlawful manner.
attorney Powell referred to still other
amounts received by, Mills in connect,
ion with the alleged transactions.
Whether Mills really invested the
money entrusted to him for the pur,
chase OF stocks in various companies
and corporations, or. whether his bro,
kerage office was nothing but bucket
shop in the strict sense Of the word,
from which no bona fdel purchases
were made is a matter, of course, to
be decided by the courts. 81
In a bucket shop, as that term is
generally understood, the alleged bro
ker does not buy stocks for his pat.
rons. but merely records bets on the
rise and fall Of the market, receiving
a percentage Of the amounts involved
for .keping tabs on the bets and main.

LANDS OPENED
REGISTRATIONS WILL TAKE
PLACE AT MINOT LATTER
PART or MONTH.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 13.-Sec-
rotary of the Interior Franklin T..
Lane announces the immediate open
ing by the government to homestead
settlement Of ITO, 900 acres contained
in the Fort Berthold North Dakota)
Indian reservation. Registrations by
prospective homesteaders will take
place at Minot, N. D., October Is to
80, inclusive. Drawings will com
mence at Minot, November A..
These lands at the time of the orig
inal opening of the Fort Berthold
reservation in 1911 were reserved by
the government because of the sup
posed presence of considerable coal
deposits. but the department of the
interior now has decided to open the
lands to surface homesteading, the
only reservation being that the title
to any coal existing therein shall re-
main with the government for the
benefit of the Indians of the Fort
Berthold district. This arrangement
insures the development by the home
steader OF "A desirable agricultural
section of North Dakota.
The Fort Berthold lands lie in
Montreal and Mclean counties reach
ed from the city of Minot. include
lands designated by the government
as first class agricultural lands. sec
ond class agricultural lands and
grazing lands, and are adapted TO the
growing of hard wheat, barley. al
falfa, potatoes and other hardy vege-
tables.
Because of the favorable condi-
tions surrounding this opening and
the rapidly diminishing opportunities
for homesteading on government do
main il is expected that the registra-
tions will be numerous.

MAY DROP FOOTBALL
BREACH or DISCIPLINE IN.
WOLVES ABERDEEN FOOT
BALL SQUAD.

Aberdeen, Oct. 13.-Aberdeen high
school has temporarily retired from
football, and the retirement may be
permanent. 1t Is all because Coach
Wilcox is a strict disciplinarian, as
the members of the high school foot
ball team have discovered TO thei
cost.
The team played the Redfield high
Saturday afternoon, and was defeat
ed by the superior Drawn of the Red
field team, coupled with a great SUI
p~eriority Of weight on the part of
Redfield. After the game, the visit
ing Aberdeen lads were informed the
Redfield young people had arranged
for a little dance in their honor.
Now Coach Wilcox had instructed
the players to take the 6 o'clock train
for home, but the dance proposition
proved too alluring, so sixteen out OF
the seventeen men who went to Red
field stayed W and came home on
the Northwestern train which reaches
Aberdeen at midnight, instead OF the
Milwaukee train which gets here sew
eral hours earlier. Yesterday after
noon the members of the team were
informed the remaining football
games had been cancelled and that as
further discipline, the members OF
the team were dismissed from school
for a week.
II is probable an effort will be
made to induce the school authorities
to recede from their ruling on the
cancellation of the remainder OF the
seasons games, but ii remains to be
seer what luck the suppliants for
mercy will have.
