Tax Title Held Good;
Bull Loses Fight for
Hugh Campbell Lands

The clear title of Hugh Campbell,
Jr., to five sections of land twelve
miles north of Bismarck, has been up,
held by the United States supreme
court, which has entered an order de,
claring the decree of the United
States circuit court of appeals final
in the long-lived, far-famed case of
Bull VS.. Campbell.
History Of Case.
Hugh Campbell, Jr., in July, 1885,
foreclosed mortgage on five sections
OF land of which J. Warren Coulston
of Philadelphia, Pa, was the record
oner, and the following year Campbell
received sheriffs deed. In 1906, p
years after the foreclosure, J. w. Bull
of Bismarck procured from Coulston
a quit claim deed to the land, and he
instituted suit in the sixth judicial dis
trict court, then presided over by
Judge w. H. Winchester, to vacate
the mortgage foreclosure and set
aside Campbell's deed. In the fall of
1907 an order was made in favor of
Bull, vacating the decree of foreclos-
ure on the ground of certain original
technical irregularities. Campbell

Would-Be Girl Eloper Is
Spirited Back To Dakota
.Bv Her Father and Sheriff

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 27.-Car-
ried off by her father and Sheriff
Price of Kidder county, n. D., 16-year-
old Mary Rittle, would-be eloper who
was found in Minneapolis yesterday,
was taken back to North Dakota to-.
day in defiance of a writ of habeas
corpus issued by District Judge H. D..
Dickinson to prevent just such a
move.
AS result, District Judge Joseph
W. Molyneaux today issued bench
warrant charging Sheriff Price With
contempt of court, and if the sheriff
comes into Minnesota again the war
rant will be served. Under the law,
he cannot be brought back from
North Dakota to answer the charge.
Technically, the girl is accused Of
stealing an automobile belonging to
her father, Frederick Rittle. The ma.
chine was used by Mary and her in
tended bridegroom, NJ. H. Chance, %
years old, to drive from the Eittle
farm to Steele, n: D., to catch train
for Minneapolis, where they were to
have been married.

From information given, it seems
that Robert Bagnell, we'll known res
ident Of Sanger, was on his way to
Mandan and was driving at good
rate of speed, when, coming to a
point in the public highway where
there was a sandpit. Men had been
hauling sand from the pit during the
day and dug so close to the center
of the road that when the first car or
team came along, it being Mr.. Bag

the car fell sideways into the pit. four

appealed to the North Dakota su.
preme court, which reversed Judge
Winchester's decision.
Campbell Brings Action.
Bulls quit claim deed remained a
cloud on the title to the property,
however, and in 1911 an action was
brought by Campbell in the United
States district court to quiet title and
restrain Bull from further interior
ence with the possession of the lands.
The action was vigorously but I'M
successfully contested by Mr.. Bull,
and in 1913 Judge Amidon entered
decree quieting the title to the land
in Mr.. Campbell. From this decision
Bull appealed to the United States cir
cult court of appeals, which in June,
1915, affirmed the district court. Mr..
Bull then attempted a further appeal
to the supreme court of the United
States, which dismissed the appeal
October % and held the finding of
the lower court final. R. Nj. Stevens
Of Bismarck and Burt F.. Lum of Min
neapolis represented Bull, while S. E.
Ellsworth of jamestown acted for
Campbell.

Sleeplessness Cures.

II you are troubled with sleepless-
ness, try one of the following simple
remedies before going to doctor with
the plea that he give you something
to make you sleep:
Drink a glass of warm water before
going to bed instead of the usual glass
of cold water. Sip 1t slowly, and II pos
sible eat a small biscuit or cracker
with it.
Avoid all mental exercise for at least
half an hour before retiring; allow the
brain to rest and become calm before
you attempt to sleep.
Stand before an open window and
breathe deeply, inhaling through the
mouth and exhaling through the nose;
then lie down and continue doing this
until sleep overtakes you.
Keep the eyeballs looking down. or
roll them from one side to the other,
counting each time they move.
This is the principle by which we
are told to count sheep leaping over a
log. The sound OF water dropping
slowly into a pan or the ticking Of q
clock will occupy and quiet the brain,
and looking steadily at one object or
a point Of light will bring the blessing
of sleep to weary, wakeful eyes.
