Use BEER BOTTLE AND
/ STOVE LID IN FIGHT

-! IA case was brought before Justice
Walter Sterland on Tuesday, wherein
Simon Damulis charged Charles Sum-
mers with breaking a beer bottle
over his head. 1t seems that both
men had been employees of the Pitts
ttbufg coal mine, about 4 miles east, of
the city, and that the former had
quit his job some time ago, and re-
fused to pay some rent money due
Summers. This evidently started bad
blood between the two, which came to
a head on Christmas day.
Damulis had Summers arrested on
the charge of assault, but when the
hearing was held the witnesses for
the state failed markedly in memory.
Summers, however, gave seemingly
clear testimony, which appeared to
show that Damulis hit him on the
head with a stove lid while he was
drinking a bottle Of beer. Summers,
half dazed, turned and struck Damu-
lis across the head, breaking the bot
tie, quite badly cutting his face and
head.
Justice Sterland did not appear to
think the evidence submitted justi-
fled any action and dismissed the
case. States Attorney H. A. Burge-
son appeared for the state, while
Attorney L. A. Simpson handled
the case for the defendant.

INSTITUTE FOR FARMERS To Be
HELD IN DICKINSON NEXT MONTH

An interesting session of the Dick
inson Commercial Club was held at
the Willard hotel on Wednesday even
ing. The members in attendance first
partook Of dinner at large table in
the Willard dining room, after which
they repaired to the hotel assembly
hall for the business session.
The matter of holding a farmers
institute in Dickinson was taken up
and received the solid endorsement of
those present. 1t was decided to give
a two days institute, preferably some
time during the month of February.
Able institute workers, both men and
women, will be secured for the occa s.
ion and every effort made to make
the sessions of interest and profit to
all who attend. The arrangement of
dates will be taken up with the in
stitute authorities Immediately, and
definite notice will be given through
the columns of the Press in an early
issue.
The decision was also made to have
a number of pictures of general in
terest taken which will be reproduced
on colored slides and shown in all of
the principal picture theatres on the
Red Trail between New York and
Seattle. 1t is expected that Dickin-
son will receive good deal of favor
able advertising through this move.
The first of series of special talks
outlined for the winter sessions, were
given. Attorney T. D. Casey and Geo
A. Senour each gave fine talk on
the subject of Community Analvsis
and Development"
In these talks and the discussions
that followed, the urgent need of an
other school building, new court
house, more railways, new manufac-
turing plants and civic utilities, were
shown. 1t was also brought out dur.
ing the discussions that there was
urgent need for a new city hall, a:
the present one seems entirely made
quate.

AGED PIONEER RANCHER
DIES VERY SUDDENLY

Palmer Hall, aged "a years the
3rd of June, 1915, died at his ranch
home in the Quinion country north
west of Dickinson the evening of
January 1st. His illness lasted but
four days, and the relatives and
friends are comforted in the thought
that he passed away without pain.
Mr.. Hall was around as usual on
Tuesday previous to his death and
ate his regular supper meal, but dur
ing the night symptoms of the grip
developed and he never left his bed
again. A doctor was summoned from
Belfield twice but there was nothing
tient.
Palmer Hall was born in Oneida
county, New York. Very little is
known of his parents and boyhood
days. He was a member of Co. C
26th regiment N, Y. infantry and
came west when this country was the
home of the buffalo and Indians, re-
siding for a time in Minnesota. He
was at Fort Buford as early as 1876.
1t was twenty-six years ago that
Palmer Hall and Mrs. Hettic A.
Simpler were united in marriage and
for little more than ten years they
resided on her farm thirteen miles
northwest Of Dickinson. During the
past fifteen years the family resided
on what was known in early days as
the Wallace Reid ranch in Billings
county. At first they grew cattle,
but the past few years farming and
horse growing has been the main in
dustry of the place.
Arthur Davis was called to the
Hall home on Sunday to prepare the
remains for shipment to Dickinson
on the following day. Mrs. Palmer
Hall and daughter, Miss Mary Hall,
came on No. 8 Monday via Belfeld.
They were accompanied by George
Tear and another neighbor, Chester
Knudson. Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey
Simpler and two children, who reside
at the Hall home, were unable to
come to Dickinson on account of his
illness.
Services were held from the L. A.
Davis & Son undertaking parlors at
10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, Rev
R. H. Craig officiating. Mesdames
R. H. Craig, Hugh Roberts and D. D.
Mars sang appropriate hymns.
The remains were taken to the
family lot in the Dickinson cemetery
for burial, w. L. Richards, Geo. A
Senour, J. ". Jessen, O. r. Meyer
Oscar Farr and M. L: Ayers acting a!
pail bearers.
| Deceased was very kind hearted
man, a good neighbor and citizen ant
many Of the old timers of this section
of the state will read Of the deatl
with sadness.
While in Dickinson, Mrs. Hall ant
Miss Mary were guests Of their ole
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Davis
They returned to Belfeld Tuesda!
evening and were taken to their ranch
in an auto. Mrs. Hall expects to re-
main on the home place. Her son
Harvey, and his family will be with
her and her daughter.

ARANHAULT DRAWS
JAIL TERM AND FINE

Harry Aranhault, who was found
guilty by the district court jury last
week of assault and battery upon the
person Of Frank Bayer of Gladstone,
was sentenced by Judge w. C. Craw-
ford this week to serve twenty-five
days in the county Jail and pay a
fine of $1O0.
Aranhault, together with Ben john
son and Ben A. Cooling, were ar
rested on the charge of beating up
and injuring Frank Bayer, a retired
farmer residing at Gladstone, on
Christmas eve. 1t was alleged that
the three defendants were intoxicated
and were participants in a row in
front Of the Gladstone livery barn.
Mr.. Bayer, in going to his home
quite late in the evening, had to pass
the livery barn. When he arrived at
his premises adjoining, he stopped to
see what was going on at the barn.
The three defendants are alleged to
have ordered Mr.. Bayer into his
house and to have used abusive
language. Mr.. Bayer ordered them
off the premises, with the result thai
a fight took place, Mr.. .Bayer being
hit on the head with broken piece
of buggy shaft, which was alleged tt
have been welded by Aranhault

COURT
FOR DICKINSON
CONGRESSMAN YOUNG INTRO
DUCES BILL in CONGRESS
MAKING NEW JUDICIAL
DISTRICT.
Measure Provides for the Holding of
Federal Court at Dickinson, Bis
marck, MinOt and WILLIS
d n.

A special communication from
Washington to the Press states that
the creation Of a new judicial dis
trict in North Dakota is provided for
in bill introduced by Congressman
George M. Young of the Second dis
trict. This measure provides that
there shall be terms of federal court
annually in the eastern district at
Fargo, Grand Forks and Devils Lake,
and in the western district at Dick
inson, Bismarck, Minot and Williston.
The western district is to be composed
of the counties of Stark, Dunn, Bill
lings, Mercer, Hettinger, Adams,
Kenzic, Oliver, Mclean, Ward, Noun
traill, Renville, Burke, Divide, Will
liams, Bottineau, McHenry, Sheridan,
Burleigh, Emmons, Sioux and Morton,
the remaining portion Of the state
to constitute the eastern district.
1t is understood that the creation
of new judicial district in North
Dakota is supported by leading demo-
Gratis, as we'll as republicans, so there
appears to be an excellent chance for
tne passage OF congressman 4OungS
bill.
Plans are already under way for
a new federal building to be built at
Dickinson, the site already having
been purchased. The contemplated
cost of this building is 100000. If
this bill goes through, which now
seems probable, it will undoubtedly
mean that at least an additional ap-
preparation Of $4,000 will have to be
made to meet the added requirements
of the federal court. The present
plans provide for the postoffice, the
United States land office and the
weather bureau. 1t begins to look
as though Dickinson is going to have
a $150,00O building instead of 100000.
Mr.. Young will have the hearty en-
dorsement of the people Of Dickin-
son and vicinity in the presenting
and working of the above bill.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
IN LENGTHY SESSION

John Lob, D. Hughes and A. F.
Mischel, the Stark County Board of
County Commissioners, have been in
session all week. The session at this
time is necessarily a lengthy one
owing to the fact that the commits
sioners have to check over all the
county officials.
Practically the first act was the
election of a chairman for the new
year. Mr.. Mischief was accorded this
honor, succeeding Mr.. Hughes.
The Recorder-Post, the Bel1ield
Times and the Taylor Reporter were
named as the official county papers
for the ensuing year. DR.. A. P.
Nachtwey was re-appointed to the po-
sition of superintendent of the county
beard of health.
A petition was made by Gilbert
Lunde ct al of the Gladstone COM
munity, asking that Congressional
Township No. 1873 be made 4 new
civil township, and that it be named
Antelope Creek township. The re-
quest was granted. This township
adjoins Heart River township, in
which Gladstone is located, on the
south.
Although the Dickinson Press was
not named an official paper, the pro
ceedings of the commissioners vii! be
published in full, so that all the read
ers of this paper may know what is
going on relative to county matters

SENTINEL BUTTE FARMER
DIES At LOCAL HOSPITAL

Andrew A. Hegseth, a we'll known
farmer of the Sentinel Butte vicinity,
died at st. Joseph's hospital in this
city on Tuesday morning, following
an operation the latter part of last
week for appendicitis, liberated stom-
ach and gall stones. The deceased
had only been ill for a couple of
weeks, having been taken to the
hospital on Tuesday of last week.
Mr.. Hegseth was born in Trond-
hjem, Norway, in 1847, and came to
America in 1868, settling in Goodhue
county, Minnesota, where he was
married to Miss Dorothy Christy in
1877. About eight years ago the
family moved to Sentinel Butte and
settled on a homestead six miles
northwest of that town, where they
have since resided. His wife and
seven children survive him.

COMPLICATED CASE
IN DISTRICT COURT

A rather complicated court case
was up for trial before Judge w. C.
Crawford the latter part of last
week. The history of the case seems
to run as follows:
Ludwig Krumenacher was married
back in Hungary in 1887. Trouble
soon arose, however, and his wife left
him, but for a time continued to re-
side on her husbands property.
Krumenacher then engaged a house
keeper, who had charge of his house
hold affairs. A few years later he
came to America, bringing his house
keeper with him, and established his
residence in Stark county. In 1910
he made application for divorce
which was granted, but it appears
that there was some error in the
proceedings and that a question now
arises as to whether or not the di-
vorce was legal.
In 1911, Krumenacher married his
housekeeper, who died two years
later. In 1914, Krumenacher also
died, leaving his property to the
children of brother.
Now his first wife in Hungary
brings suit for family maintenance
since the first marriage, claiming that
no legal divorce had been granted.
Murtha & Sturgeon appeared fol
the plaintiff, while w. F. Blume rep.
resented the executors of the estate
Judge Crawford took the case under
advisement and will render judgment
later. t ."r.

FRACTURES H|.' l.. {

Mrs. J. C. F. Parker, 2O9 Fifth Ave.
West, met with an accident on New
Years day which will confine her to
the hospital and to her home for
many weeks to come. While going
about her household duties she
stepped out of the back door and
slipped on an icy spot, falling with
considerable force. Her calls for help
were heard by members of the family
who went to her immediate assistance
and brought her into the house and
tphysician was called. It was at
first thought that Mrs. Parker had
only suffered a severe sprain, but a
more thorough examination latel
disclosed the fact that her left hip
bone was broken. She was taken tc
st. Joseph's hospital and every at
tention given. She suffers consider.
able pain and so far has been unable
to rest well. Mrs. Parker's many
friends grieve over the news of the
accident and extend sincere hopes fol
a speedy recovery.
Miss Myrtle Parker, who hat
planned to return to the state uni.
versity after the holidays, to re.
sumo her junior year studies, has
changed her plans on account of the
accident which befell her mother, ant
will remain at home.
Mr.. Parker was in Medora at the
time of the accident, visiting 6
brother, and was, of course, greatly
shocked when he heard of his wife's
injury. He is just recovering from a
broken arm a1So sustained in q fall
and is as yet unable to use his arm.
