Juggling with Justice.

no jurisdiction of his case for the
lack of a Federal question, Leo M
Frank has now been granted an ap'
peal and review of his whole case
by this supreme tribunal on the
ground that a Federal question has
been presented as determined by
Justice Lamar, the same Justice who
formerly decided that the case pre-
sented no Federal question.
Any one who attempted to follow
and reconcile the intricacies, contra
dictions and complexities of the le-
gal machinery of these United States
and of the several and respective
Commonwealths of which the nation
is composed would very quickly be
qualified for the bughouse.
1t is the theory of the law that
the certainty of its judgments is es-
sential to its utility, whereas in the
practice and administration of it,
uncertainty is the only certain ele-
ment that can be predicated of it.
Every Judge seems to have an indi.
vidual theory and sometimes one
Judge has two or more theories that
contradict and neutralize each other.
Look at this record in the Frank
case:

Phagan. fourteen years old, found in

FIRE DAMAGES RAIDER FARM
WHALEN MAY LOSE EYE

On Tuesday prairie fire which was
started from the city dump ground
burned over the RAIDER Dairy Farm
two miles north of Dickinson. About
30 tons of hay were destroyed and it
was only by hard work that the house
and barns were saved. The pasture
lots were burned off, fences burned
down in places and trees injured.
This destructive fire reached the
Lloyd RAIDER place little before noon
and had it not been for the early as
sistance of DR.. V. H. Stickney and
others the damage would have been
much more than it is.
The rubbish in the city dump
grounds had been on fire for several
days and it should have been some
body's business to have protected
people against this kind of loss.
People at the RAIDER farm notified Of
ficials in Dickinson as early as 9
o'clock on Tuesday of the danger but
to no avail.
1t will now be up to the city of
Dickinson to pay for the RAIDER dam
ages which will be no small sum-per-
'haps $500.
The A. P. Folsom farm was also
burned over and here will be another
damage to settle.
Fortunately this fire did not extend
west of the Manning road and it did
not 60 much beyond the RAIDER farm.
The most lamentable feature Of the
RAIDER fire is the terrible accident
which befell Henry Whalen, who, in
Xanking a barbed wire off a post in
order to iberate stock, drove a staple
into his left eye. He was taken to st.
Joseph's hospital and from reports on
Thursday it seemed probable. that he
would lose the eye.
No money consideration could re-
compense man for an accident of
this kind. c
Henry Whalen is brother of James
Whalen and had been employed at
the RAIDER Dairy for some time.

ACT Of MARCH 3
ADDITIONAL. H. E.
DICKINSON u. S. LAND OFFICE
GETTING MANY FILINGS UN.
DER ACT OF MARCH 3,
1915.
Man Who Has Made Proof on 16O
Acres Can Take Adjoining 100
If Vacant Providing He is Re-
siding on Original Tract.

The force at the Dickinson U. S.
land office has been unusually busy
the past week or two on account of
filings offered under provisions of the
act of March 3, 1915, which is intend
ed to give the man who has already
made proof on 100 acres Of land a
chance to file on an adjoining 160
acres, if vacant, providing he is
still residing on the original tract.
Up to the middle of the week Reg
lister j. G. Quinlivan and Receiver E.
j. Hughes had not received instruc-
tions from the department at Wash
ington and therefore could not allow
the filings. However, the party Of
fering the filing gets a stay of go
days and it is probable that instruc-
tions will be received within few
days which will enable the office to
accept proper filings under the new
act.
AS understood by the PRESS, it
does not matter how long ago entry
men made proof on 100 acres of land,
if they are still residing on the origi-
nal tract and there is 160 acres of
vacant land adjoining and providing
further that the same is within the
designated enlarged homestead terri
tory, then the second entry can be
made.
Most of the public domain in the
Bad Lands district is in this desig-
mated territory.
On Monday the fees and commits
sions at the Dickinson U. S. land Of
flee amounted to $182.

BUYS HALF SECTION

The past week Martin Santoeki Of
Rockdale, ILL.,, bought the half Sec
tion farm three miles west of Fayette
on terms satisfactory to both buyer
and seller. The place is known as the
Asa Davidson farm and the deal was
made through F. A. Little of Fayette.
About three months ago Martin
Santoeki moved with his family to
Dickinson, taking carload of furni-
ture and stock along. He has
brother-in-law on a farm 10 miles
north of this city and hence thought
it safe to ship to this point. The
head of the family started out on
foot to locate;'a homestead in Dunn
county, but gave up the task, and
hearing of unappropriated govern
ment land near Lewistown, Mont,
went out to investigate. He was too
late to get a homestead and returned
to Dickinson. His, next move was to
get Mr.. Little TO take him to see
farms that could be had at reasonable
prices. The former Rockdale man is
now well satisfied. He has we'll inn
proved farm and is busy seeding his
newly acquired acres. ~a.,. sa,,,.:,s5.

MIKE COLLINS GETS WORD
Of SON ANTHONY'S INJURY

Michael Collins, machinist in the
N. P. Ry. shop at Dickinson, received
a telegram about the 5th regarding
the serious injury of his son, Anthony
Collins Of Los Angeles, resident of
this city until 1895. The father is
now in receipt of the following clip
ping from a Los Angeles paper, Civ
ing particulars Of the accident suf-
fered:
"When Anthony Collins, 33 years
old, stepped from street car at
Fifty-seventh street and Moneta
Avenue early last night he slipped and
fell and before he could rise was run
over by jitney bus, receiving seri-
GUS injuries. H. E. Teazle Of No.
1905 South Grand Avenue, driver and
owner of the bus, picked up the in
jured man and took him to the Re-
ceiving hospital.
"Mr. Collins. who lives at No. 315
West Fifty-seventh street, is motor
man for an electric work train and
was on his way home when the acci-
dent happened. Witnesses say he
stepped from the car while it was in
motion and lost his balance on the
slippery pavement.
The bus is said to have been going
less than fifteen miles an hour and
none of the witnesses blame the driv-
er for the accident.
"Dr. Roome at the Receiving hos
pital said Mr.. Collins injuries are not
necessarily dangerous, though it can
not be determined until late today or
tomorrow whether his skull is frac-
tured. Several deep decorations were
made on the head and many abrasions
about the body"
Machinist Collins has reason to
think that his son is getting along
nicely now.
Many of our readers will recall that
Michael Collins and his family lived
in Dickinson for many years, owning
the home now occupied by Manager
and Mrs. M. E. Hall just north of the
Bake residence. John and Anthony,
two eldest sons, are with the Los
Angeles Ry. Co., while Martin and
Joe are with the Home Telephone Co.
The daughter is also resident of Los
Angeles, all living in the same part
of the city. Martin and Joe were
born in Dickinson, also Dan Collins,
the third son. Dan is foreman with
the United Ry. Co. in San Francisco.
The two oldest sons and the daughter
were born near Princeton, N. J.
Michael Collins has been west some
but the climate here agrees with him
best, hence he contents himself by
visiting his children in California now
and then. They are all well located
on the Pacific coast and have now
been away from Dickinson for about
20 years.

f. B, BREWSTER VISITS
HIS DICKINSON FRIENDS

E. B. Brewster of Medora was at
tending to business matters and visit
ing old friends in Dickinson on Mon
day. He had not been in the city
since 1912 and only for a short time
then.
It is interesting to hear this old
timer relate his coming to Dickinson
on May 4, 1883. He had wintered
with George Herring at the place
now known as Marmarth. At this
time the frame for the old Willard
hotel, on the present site of the new
Willard, was just raised but not
boarded in. Bunker & Lawrence
were doing the work. The other
structures on Willard street were few
and far between. Starting at the
corner south of the present Turner
blacksmith shop, DR.. J. B. Mcdonald
had an office. Near the Dakota Ma
tional bank site was the Lawrence &
Loeb office and on the corner west
the Auld & Moore store. Eph Sea-
man had place on the next corner.
Then came Bunker & Lawrence, the
present quarters of the Greene Drug
Co and the Nottingham barber shop.
Mike and Joe Cuskelly were just east
of the Willard. Henry Schultz was
west of the First National bank cor
ner.
In those days buffalo hides were
corded up around the streets of Dick
inson like so much bark in the hem
lock country.
Mr.. Brewster was carpenter by
trade and had work soon after his
arrival, May 4, 1888, on the Eagle
hotel, later known as the Kidder
house and more recently the St.
Paul house, at present the property
of Mike Mckinley. Geo. V. Bowles
was the contractor in charge. The
Geo. Herring restaurant was erected
later on the site now occupied by
Reed Bros. About the year 1885
Max Sanford took the building, open
ing a jewelry store in front and furni-
ture back. The Stark county court
house was erected in 1886 and after
Mr.. Brewster had finished on this job
he engaged as cabinet maker with
Mr.. Sanford.
The daughters Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Brewster, Emma, Eva ana ROSA, were
born at Elk Point, S. D., and came to
Dickinson with their parents on May
4, 1888. Walter Brewster was born
in this city on February Is, 1885. He
now resides in Bowman county near
the state line.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster left Dickin-
son for the Sand Creek country the
fall of 1895. They raised stock, kept
store and Mr.. Brewster held the Of
flee of postmaster there for eleven
years. They are now very comfort
ably situated in their own home at
Medora.

ORCHARD SERVICE

The funeral service for Mrs. John
Orchard at the Mcdonald home Sat-
urday afternoon was very quiet as
the departed one had requested. Rev.
A. C. Hacke used the Episcopal form
of burial service at the home and at
the grave. A ladies' quartet, COM
posed of the Misses Conant, Dumke,
Stewart and Messersmith, sang at the
home these two favorite selections
of Mrs. Orchard: "Holy Ghost! With
Light Divine" and "Softly Now the
Light of Day."
Upon and about the casket there
was a wealth of flowers which had
been given by loving friends, and
after the service most of these were
taken to St. Joseph's hospital for the
benefit of the patients of the institu-
ton, which seemed like most SEN
sible act.
The pail bearers were selected from
the neighbors Of the family and were:
J. V. Jessen, w. l.. Richards, T. H.
Pugh, M. A. Scherffius, James Soules
and l.. r. Baird
Mrs. Orchard was a most patient
sufferer during her illness of about
two years. She was lady who re-
mained mostly in her home, enjoying
the association with her family to the
highest degree, and her loss is deeply
mourned by the husband, daughter
and sons and other relatives, as we'll
as the many friends at Dickinson,
Fargo and other places where the
family has resided.

spiritually. The church has been
built and furnished, even to a piano
which arrived this week, but best of
all a spirit of good fellowship has
been created and built up that will do
good in the community for years to
come.

OUTSIDE PRICES
 REGULATE THE TAX

According to a recent decision of Collector of Customs Williams, of Ia coma, who has jurisdiction in Alas ka, he holds that the regular retail price outside prevails, for purposes of war taxation, and thereby the people of Alaska will gain many dollars in a year. He says:
 Relative to the construction under schedule B of the emergency act, you are advised that the retail price or value is the price at which the article would be normally sold to consumers at the place of manufacture Cor place of importation, if manufactured in a foreign country). Hence the fact that, owing to unusual abnormal con dltions taxable article is sold for a price greater or less than the ordl- nary retail price or value will not op- crate to increase or lessen the tax.
 "Unstamped gum in the hands of the dealers in Alaska on December 1, 1914, will, therefore, require stamping on the same basis as like goods out side, i. e., 4 cents on each box. carton, jar or package, when the ordinary re- tail value does not exceed $1. and if exceeding $1, cents for each addi- tional dollar or fractional part thereof
