Kinney Farmer Declares He Is
Subject to Chronic Malady
Az q Result.
HE ASKS SUM OF
$4,000 IN DAMAGES
May Be Afflicted With Either
Jacksonian Or Idiopathic Ep-
ilepsy, Melancholia, Hysteria.

Because he alleges that while he
was having a fit his neighbor, Edmund
Anderson, came to his place, pounded
upon the door and uttered threats
against him in an effort to secure the
service of process in civil action
with the result that his malady has
been aggravated and his health consid-
erably impaired, Christian Bjari is
suing Anderson in the district court
today for damages Of $4,000.
Bjari may have Jacksonian epilepsy,
idiopathic epilepsy, melancholia or
hysteria. Physicians testifying at the
trial this morning were unable to pos
itively diagnose his trouble offhand
positively. It was declared it would
be necessary to have him under OBJ
servation to make positive diagnosis.
Case In Hands of Jury.
The case went to a jury this after
noon. Edward Boyle appeared for the
plaintiff and George Shea for the de-
fendant. Both parties to the action
live near Kinney Anderson was the
plaintiff and Bjari the defendant yes
terday in a case tried in district court
in which the former sued to recover
from the latter $500 damages for tim
ber destroyed on his farm through the
alleged carelessness of the defendant
in permitting a forest fire to run to
the premises of the plaintiff. The
jury returned a verdict in favor of
Anderson for $100.
Subject to Fits.
,Bjari declares he has been for a long
time subject to fits and that mental
worry induces them. He was having
one in the preliminary stages when
Anderson, and neighbor appeared at
his place yesterday. He was unable
to 60 to the door, he declared. They
pounded about the place and raised a
din which set him off in one of his
periodical attacks. Since that time
they have been more intense and fire.
1uent, he declares.
Anderson's contention is that Bjari
was attempting to avoid service Of
the papers upon him and that he
would not respond to knocks upon his
door.

How Mr.. and Mrs. EnricO Beirut
ii Were Married At Expense
of Another Related.
ATTEMPT TO RECOVER
DISMISSED IN COURT
Finery Will Be Returned to Gre
nj If He Desires; End Is
Not Yet.

With the handing down of decision
by Judge Carey in municipal court
this morning it was developed that
Mr.. and Mrs. Enrico Berutti were able
to wed with less outlay of cash than
is ordinarily the case. Joseph Greni
must pay for Mrs. Berutti's wedding
gown, other finery and for the ring
she wore upon her finger and with
which the ceremony was performed.
Besides this Greni has a perfectly good
marriage license which is no use to
him now, because he took it out to wed
the woman who is now Mrs. Enrico
Buratti.
Sued to Recover.
This morning the Berutti's were
sued in municipal court by the Min
nesota Dry Goods company to recover
on bill for wedding finery furnished
Mrs. Berutti. She purchased it under
the name of Laura Greni, the evidence
showed, and the bill was charged to
Joseph Greni. M. Trotto, an authority
on credits among his people, accom-
panied her to the store and informed
the firm that Joseph Greni was honest
and would pay. At that time Mrs.
Berutti was Miss Laura Dargotina
and she was engaged to be married to
Joseph Greni. She testified this morn
ing that he had insisted she should go
to the store and to the jewelry store
Of r. l.. Cow & Co. and purchase a
trosseau and a ring. Later Greni took
out marriage license. He and Ber-
utti were rivals and Greni wanted to
forestall Berutti. fie was under the
impression that if he took out the Ii
cense, the jig would be UP for Berutti
so far as his efforts to gain the hand
Of the charming Miss Dargotina was
concerned. However, the girl and
Berutti were welded. She wore the
gown that Greni had agreed to pay for
and upon her finger was the ring which
had been charged to him by the R. L..
Cow Co.
Bills Came to Greni.
In due time the bills were presented
to Greni. He declared that Berutti
should pay. The creditors decided to
hold the woman's husband and his
wages were tied up on a garnishee.
This morning the woman testified in
court that she had merely purchased
the goods after Greni had insisted,
that she had no further use for them
and that he might have them back
if he desired.
Judge Carey dismissed the action
and released Berutti's money which
was tied up under the garnishee.
Greni doesn't want the wedding
dress or the ring. What would he do
with them?
He declares he will institute new
action and will have Mrs. Enrico held
under charge of obtaining the goods
under false pretenses. With the court
costs, lawyers fees and other expendi.
lures the affair has already cost him
pretty penny.

experiencing considerable growth this
soring. Several buildings are going
up there at present in the business

NO NEWSFR0M
THE NORTHERN

At the hour of the Enterprise going
to press this afternoon no news had
been received from the opening games
of the Northern league, but weather
conditions were such that it is doubt
full whether any of the opening games
will be played. Overcast skies and
chilly weather generally prevailed over
the circuit today and this morning it
was uncertain whether any of the
games would be played. Virginia is
opening with Fargo, but the indica-
tions seem to be that today's game
will b postponed. =.

KILLING RESULT
OF ALTERATION

Miss Bessie Bryeans, in charge Of
the dining room at the New Fay ho-
tel, returned last evening from Blythe
vile, Arkansas, where she was sum-
moned several weeks ago by the kill
ing Of her father, John T. Bryeans,
coal and wood contractor. He was
shot during an alteration by Gust
Braysacher, superintendent of a mill
at Blytheville, with which Bryeans had
contracted to furnish fuel.
The trouble started over the letting
off from work of a boy, who was driy-
ing team for Bryeans. Braysacher
was under the influence Of liquor and
becoming angered drew revolver and
shot Bryeans, killing him instantly.
Braysacher was indicted by a grand
jury on a charge of murder in the first
degree and will be tried before the
federal court at Parigould, Arkansas,
at the October term of court. Capital
punishment is in effect in that state.

BERLIN, (via London), May g.
Military developments of the last week
have had a visible effect on the popu-
lar feeling in Berlin, which is decid.
edly more optimistic. Operations in
the Russian province of Courtland. on
the Baltic, in Galicia and in Belgium
indicate that the Germans have been
forced to take the offensive on large
scale and that greater events may be
expected. 1t is understood in well in
formed circles that the German troops
in CORTLAND are now near the port Of
Libau, which will probably be attacked
bv land and sea. Field Marshall Won:
Hindenburg is himself in COMM ~ :
there. His design appears 70 - u
take Libau and probably Riga, <usinga
these ports for harassing the Russian
communications with Petrograd.
Three Ships Sunk At Sea.
London, May 6.-Three more vessels
have been sunk by the Germans, it is
learned today. The steamer Cathaym
bound from Copenhagen for Chinese
ports was. either mined or torpedoed
late last night in the North sea and
went down in 20 minutes. The pas
sengers and crew, totaling 43, took to
small boats, landing safely at Rams
gate today.
The schooner Earl of Latham was
sunk by a submarine off Kinsale, on
the Irish coast. The crew were per-
mitted to take to boats and were res
cued by a trawler. The submarine
fired nine shells at the schooner be-
fore she sank.
The trawler Stratton of Grimsby
was sunk on the North sea yesterday
by gun fire from a German submarine.
The crew were taken aboard the SUBJ
marine.
The Cathay was a Danish steamer
and was owned in Copenhagen. After
crew had been taken of the Strait
ton the seacocks of the trawler were
opened, but this method of sinking
proved too slow. After waiting four
hours the Germans fired eight shells
at the Stratton. The fishermen were
hen ordered to embark in a small
boat taken from the Stratton. They
landed today at Hartlepool.

JOE WlDELL IS
GIVEN RELEASE

Joe Widell, who has been working
at the first base position with the Vir-
ginia baseball team, has been released.
He did not 60 with the team to Fargo
yesterday. Gelein, outfelder, has also
been released. Widell was with the
club last season and is an excellent
baseball player. He may go to faster
company than the Northern. Gelein

keen he was reluctantly dropped from

Manager Sundheim think we'll of him
and will watch his progress carefully
this season.
