Action Unduly Advanced and Justice
Denied YOumans, Declared Man
ahan, His Attorney.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 23.-Contend-
ing that the hearing Of the Grant S.
Youmans case against Governor
Hanna and other members of the for
mer state banking board was "im-
providently and unfairly advanced on
motion of the defendants" without the
knowledge Of attorneys for the plain
tiff; that the motion to advance was
made by the defendant in bad faith,
and that the undue haste with which
the supreme court acted in the matter
denied justice to the plaintiff, Con-
gressman James Manahan, Of Mime
sofa, attorney for Youmans, filed pc
tition with the supreme court this
morning for a re-hearing. The case
was the last one decided by the old
supreme court before the contest for
seats began. If the hearing is granted
the fight between Youmans and Gov
ernor Hanna over closing the formers
bank will come before the new court.

LOWE MAY BE NAMED CLERK
MinOt Attorney Said to be Scheduled
for Clerk of Supreme Court to
Succeed r. D. HOskins.

Justice James E. Robinson announc-
ed that John C. Lowe, of Minot, who
has been court stenographer in the
Eighth Judicial district for more than
a decade, will probably receive very
favorable consideration from the new
supreme court when it takes up the
appointment of clerk Of the supreme
court. R. D. Hoskins, who has been
clerk for many years, will probably be
retired and it is said that Mr.. Lowe
will without doubt be selected.
Mr.. Lowe is regarded as an able at
torney and an efficient court reporter.
Justice Robinson sent the following
reply to a number who had applied for
the appointment as clerk:
"We want clerk who can walk and
not weary; who can run and not faint;
one who can get into training to fit
himself for the Office of supreme court
justice in the course of few years,
according to the rules of civil service.
We want clerk of quick and clear
perception and good judgment who can
virtually decide half the cases cor
rectly and present the other half in
such a way as to make it easy to de-
eide them.
"We are starting out with new court
rules. The clerk must be in the Office
from 8 a. m. until p. M, except an
hour at noon. He must boss the judges;
keep an account with them; lay out
their daily work on their tables and
see that they report for work at a.
M, and work during business hours.
"We have made rule that on the
last day of every month each district
Judge and Judge Of each county court
Of increased jurisdiction, must file with
the clerk Of the supreme court re-
port Of the business done by him and
the cases decided during the month
and the cases remaining undecided,
and the business disposed of on each
day and the time given to the same;
and the court may call for additional
reports on any matter.
The clerk must make similar re-
port for us, and each Of US, and lay
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-12-28

before US and direct special attention
to the report of the other judges. We
think the people who pay for doing
the work have right to know how it
is done and to know the time that each
judge devotes to his work. We are
convinced that no court can be trusted
to do good work without some system
of supervision and reporting. That is
true of the u. S. supreme court and
the New York court Of appeals. 1t is
reported they are nearly two years be-
hind with their work. Is it the fault
of their clerk?
"Now, if you think you can fill the
bill, please write us specifically on
each point. Do not think that you
will have to copy decisions covering
20 or 80 pages, because if l mistake
not, our decisions will be sharp, short
and pointed"

The above is a picture Of the C. M.
Christensen farm home, located in
Freedom township, fifteen miles south
west of Minot. Since the picture of
the home was taken, a number of i'm
provements have been added.
Mr.. Christensen homesteaded the
land thirteen years ago and he has
made his own way, adding to his i'm
provements gradually as he could af-
ford them, making the farm pay it's
own way. He might be considered
ultra conservative, yet the safe way
is often the best way and a man is
bound to win out in the end. Mr..
Christensen has very comforta bic
and commodious house, barn 40x42,
granary, hog and poultry house COM
bined 12x48, the buildings all being
permanently constructed. A 30O-foot
we'll affords plenty of good water. Mr..
Christensen believes in diversification,
keeping cows, hogs, poultry and a
number of good brood mares on the
farm. While he does not farm on a
very large scale, he has never had to
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-12-28

buy bushel of seed or feed during the
thirteen years. He owns half section
of land. In building up this home,
Mr.. Christensen has received valuable
assistance from his wife and often
remarks that he never could have done
il without her assistance. Mr.. Chris
tenson, with all Of his work at home,
has found time to do considerable
we'll drilling each year, which brings
in an additional income Of several hun
dred dollars.
Mr.. Christensen visited the live
stock show at Chicago recently and af-
ter looking over the possibilities in
the east, concludes that our opportun-
tiles out in North Dakota are two to
one as compared to those other places
"I saw farms in the east that didn't
look any larger than my door yard
he remarked, "but they seem to be
making it. We don't realize what we
are wasting here. / don't see why our
land isn't worth almost as much as the
land in the east if we will only work
it right"

day Night to Attend One of the
Happiest of Social Events.

A large number of members and
their friends of the Sons of Norway
organization met at their hall, west
Central avenue, Tuesday evening, to
hold their annual Yulefest, which is
always one of the happiest events in
their calendar. The essence of "Peace
on Earth, Good Will to All Men" is
expressed in the Norwegian greeting
"Gladelig JUL" which was heard on al!
sides at this happy gathering, and if
there was dull moment spent or a
harsh. thought harbored, it was not
outwardly manifested during the en-
tire evening.
A splendid banquet had been pre-
pared, consisting Of large number of
both Norwegian and American deli
cacies, which was served at $3.50
o'clock, being preceded by musical
program by Hovind's orchestra.
John Sveen presided as toastmaster
in masterly manner, and at the con-
clusion of the feasting called upon a
large number Of the banqueters who
responded in happy manner, the
speaking being done, with but few
exceptions, in the language of their
adopted country.
The first speaker of the evening was
Peter Fugelso, president of the order,
whose remarks, though brief, were lis
tened to with close attention. He was
followed by John J. Lee, R. A. Nestos,
Prof. Haugelund (the guest of hon
or), Martin jacobson, DR.. Bonnichsen,
H. A. Martinson, Grant S. Youmans,
and. Isak Mattson, all of whom seemed
to be inspired with the gaiety of the
happiest season of the year.
Prof. Haugelund, who was the guest
Of honor and principal speaker of the
evening, spoke in the Norwegian Ian
guage and spoke on ''The Duties of the
Norwegian in America" showing the
relations Of the Norwegian to his ad-
opted land and comparing them with
those of the native land. During his
remarks Prof. Haugelund referred to
Ninot as an "oasis in the desert" and
said that owing to the hospitality of
the Norwegian people of Minot he had
spent the most pleasant Christmas in
his recollection.
After the speaking, the orchestra
played the overture, I'm Norway"
after which dancing was indulged in
until the morning hours, and it was

Salvation Army Gave SO Xmas
Dinners.

The Salvation Army distributed
sacks of food, each sufficient for a
good Christmas dinner, to SO Minot
families. Included in the lot were 155
chickens, bread, butter and many other
good things to eat. Some of the food
was donated by the Minot merchants
and the remainder was bought by
money given for the cause. The Christ
mas donations this year were better
than ever. Ensign and Mrs. Ellis, in
making the rounds of the city, found
poor families who will be assisted
during the remainder of the winter.
The Christmas exercises at the Bar
racks Monday night were rendered to
a packed house. There was fine

o'clock Sunday morning. A stick-up

his getaway. The police were noti-
fled of the affair but no arrests have
followed.

which one? Neither James r. Mann
