When it is said styles are extremely
conservative, VIC know Immediately that
means shoes for men will be in hides of
two colors, either black or tan, with
shade variations of the latter; We know
that shoes will be either laced or but
toned effects and if the edicts Of severe
pIalnness are carried out we can expect
TO see few colorcd tops, fancy buttons
trimmed effects or decorative details.
However, this fashion is not imposed
upon US with malice aforethought. 1t
is the development Of a critical situa-
ton. Leathers have advanced in price
by leaps and bounds, colored fabrics for
shoe tops have also reached pinnacle
price and the cost of dye stuffs has so
scared as to bring the price OF the or
nate shoe up to figure that few men
will appropriate for a pair of shoes.
The Mrs, Of course, must have her sew

Ultra stylish shoes have toppings of

contrasting colors White top shoes
with black or colored vamps have not
been ousted from popular partially.
For those who indulge in extreme
styles, fashion has many surprises up
her sleeve. One is boot with top of
wide alternating stripes with striped
wooden covered heel to match.
For dressy wear a high white boot
adorns itself with black beaded top.
Another boot has the whole length OF
the front cut out, freeing the lower
part Of the leg and the arch OF the foot.
For evening wear high satin boots
matching the costume without ornamcn-
tation, relying on workmanship and fit
for recommendation, have buttons
matching the satin. These boots usually
are worn in colors matching the cos.
tune.

shoe remains about the same.
Laced effects are vastly more favored
than the buttoned shoes, except for
dress wear, then the buttoned styles are
considered best. For dancing, patent
leather pumps have the call. Tans are
increasing in popularity in all shades,

About the only relief from strict
plainness offered in mems footwear is a
fair amount of fanciful perforations,
wide wing tips and ornamental foxings.

opportunity to make description Of the

for its only virtue the fact that it re-

was finally dismissed.
Leickem and his wife, who is now
fifty-three years Of age, eloped from

Peter Leickem, aged rs years, vet
Gran of the Civil war and participant
in several skirmishes about his home
on the south west side which he testified
in court had been fraught with just as
much danger as his military service
shifted his burden in the Municipal
court this morning when Judge Randall
handed down an order granting him an
absolute divorce from his wife, Mary
Leickem. The divorce brought to a
close a married life which had been
featured with several appearances in
the court Mrs Leickem did not appear
to contest the granting of the divorce
but she was represented by Attorney
Calvin Stewart who gave his consent to
a stipulation for the division of the
property between the plaintiff and the
defendant. The aged plaintiff was the
first witness and he told with eonsid-
cradle dramatic effect the story Of his
journey into the seas Of married life. He
charged his wife with being habitnaI
drunkard for more than year and
with repeated cruelty. The feature Of
the claim for divorce centered about
the shooting which took place at the
Leickem home on September q, 1915.
at which time Mrs. Leickem fired sew

Complaint Supplementing One Tiled
by Husband Some Time Ago.
Through her attorney, Peter Fisher,
Mrs. Margaret Wyss has fled suit in
the Circuit Court demanding an abso-
lutte divorce from her husband, John
Wyss. Some months ago the husband
filed a similar action in the same court
and it is still pending. In her com
plant Mrs. Wyss alleges that she was
married to her husband at Warren, Pa,
July 3, 1889. She asserts that he de-
serted her in August of 1915. The de-
PENDANT is now living at Ady, Wash
ington, and the wife asserts that she
had heard nothing from him since the
date of the desertion.. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wyss have four children, but all are
of age but one son, Peter Wyss. The
wife asks that she have the custody of
the minor child and that the court pro-
vide for the division of the estate on
which she places a value of more than
ten thousand dollars. The suit is to
be heard at the coming October term
of the Circuit Court.

She told tales of her early life, of
her memories of the days when tele-

similar tools Of civilization were I'M

NOVEL POINT IS
TO Be SETTLED
Case Involving Big Sum of Mon
ey Comes on Before Judge
Pollock
Pollock.

Fargo, N. D., Feb. PA case on
demurrer to be brought before Judge
Pollock of the district court within
four weeks is that Of S. H. Cranmer
of Minneapolis, who is suing the coun-
ty commissioners of Sargent county,
n. d., to enforce the refundment Of
outstanding tax certificates amount
ing to approximately $lO33.S0. Pa
pers were served on the auditor of
Sargent county last week. Besides,
the number of certificates in the pos
session of Mr.. Cranmer, there are
enough Others outstanding, it was
stated yesterday, to amount in the
aggregate with interest to $4,000.
Cranmer Here Yesterday.
S. II. 'Cranmer left yesterday for
Minneapolis, after spending several
days here in placing his case with
local attorneys. In discussing the
conditions that led up to the suit, Mr.
Cranmer stated that in the early days
of Sargent county the Northern Pa
ciflc Railway company sold much Of
it's lands along its track in that cOun-
ty to settlers on contract. These
lands embraced a certain grant to the
railroad company by the federal gov
eminent, upon which patent had not
at the time been issued. The taxing
officials of the county levied taxes
against the land on the advice OF the
attorney general. This was in 1888.
Learn Leves Were Irregular.
The settlers learned, according to
MIR. Cranmer, that the levies were
irregular and many aid not pay their
taxes. In October, 1889, these taxes
were sold by the county to great
variety of bidders and tax certificates
were issued These certificates were
later bought up by persons who wish
ed to speculate. Mr.. Cranmer among
others, purchased certificates.
Clear Titles Not to Be Had.
The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, which had contracted to give
the settler purchasers of it's land war
ranty deed upon the fulfillment of
certain obligations, was called upon
for such, but it was unable to give
clear title. as the certificates in Ques-
ton constituted lien against the
lands, whereupon the railroad COM
pany went into court in order to get
these outstanding certificates set
aside. The United States circuit
court decreed that the taxes were
illegal and wrongfully assessed, and
it restrained all certificate holders
from accepting tax deed.
cranmer's Name Was Omitted.
Now Mr.. Cranmer, after 26 years Of
meditation, starts action with the
plea that the notice of the decree of
1898 was not legally served upon
him; also that his name having been
spelled wrong. The county commits
sioners of Sargent county at their
April meeting, it has been learned,
refused Cranmer S plea for refund
ment, on the ground that the claim
was illegal and that 1t was, moreover,
outlawed, it being more than 26 years
since the certificates were issued.
Case Destined For Supreme Court.
AS the case will so to the district
court on points of law, it is certain,
according to statements yesterday,
that the supreme court will be called
upon to render decision.
