treasurer, and Charles r. Forbes, su.
perintendent of public works and
chairman of the public utilities com
mission, in the Injunction suits which
Former Judge Arthur A. Wilder
brought several weeks ago against
these officials.
The Injunction suits we're brought
to restrain the territorial officials
from paying from the funds of the har-
Dor board and of the utilities commits
sion the expenses charged against
these bodies by Superintendent Forbes
for his recent trip to Washington.
In effect, then, Forbes is blocked
temporarily at least from getting his
expenses paid from the funds of these
bodies. Judge Stuart also finds that
steps had been taken, by or on be-
half of these public bodies, to pay
the bills, hence territorial officials
are blocked from so disposing Of the
delayed expense accounts which have
been the cause of so much discussion.
In rendering his decision Judge Stu
art gave credit to Judge Wilder for
having represented the citizens of the
territory and brought suit to prevent
the payment from public funds of the
expenses which Forbes incurred dur
ing his trip to Washington
Several prominent attorneys of the
city sat in the court room during the

WHAT HAS DISTINGUISHED
AMERICA AMONG NATIONS
BY President Wilson

The only thing that has ever dis
tinguished America among the ma
tfons is that she has shown that all
men are entitled to the benefits of
the law. This was her mission in the
world, and if she forgets that mis-
sion she will have lost her distinc-
ton. She will have then come down
into the common level where power
is a law and its misuse a sure avenue
of disgrace. - At Southern Society

''In 1905 the legislature enacted a
law exempting the capital stock Of
companies. and associations organ
lied for purely manufacturing and
mercantile purposes, and for the
mining and sale of coal, or for the
printing and publishing Of newspa-
pers, or for the improving and breed
ing Of stock.

NEGRO E[UDES POSSE
OF FORTY ARMED MEN
Suspected of Surrey Postoffice Rob-
berry, Pulls Gun on Chief DOherty
Lively Chase Follows

In man-hunt in the wood along the
river just east of the city Friday aft
ernoon, negro with a big gun and a
wicked-looking eye, who was suspect
ed Of robbing the Surrey postoffice the
night before, eluded Chief Of Police
Dan Doherty and about forty special
deputies, all armed to the teeth. The
negro must have hidden in the woods
for no trace of him could be found and
under cover Of darkness he made good
his escape.
The Surrey postoffice was entered
early Friday morning and $14 taken
from a cash drawer. The safe was
cracked but the door was not opened,
$50 being in the safe, and a like
amount outside was overlooked.
Chief Doherty was notified and he
started out with his club to locate the
guilty parties. In the woods near the
city he found a negro and two other
tough looking characters. AS he step
ped forward to search the negro, the
dusky fellow pulled an immense gun
and held it under the chiefs nose. Mr..
Doherty, not having his gun, could do
nothing but back away. He came up
town in a hurry, secured his arsenal
and a posse and went out after the
bad man. That the negro was one Of
the postofice robbers is almost a GER
tainty.

MOUNTRAIL FARMER GETS
TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON

John Rowland, the Ross farmer who
shot and killed Harry Walcott, a
neighbor lad, was sentenced to serve
20 years in the penitentiary. His
wife, who was with her husband, went
free. Mrs. Rowland is a nervous lit
tie woman who can scarcely speak the
English language. According to the
story told by Carl Moore, a young man
who was with the Walcott lad when
he was shot, the two young men were
riding past the Rowland home on a
load Of hay. The horses became fright
ened and ran towards the Rowland
home. There had been trouble be-
tween the Rowlands and the Walcotts
and Rowland and his wife came out
with a gun. Rowland began shooting,
one bullet going through young Wal
colts stomach, causing his death about
a week later. As Moore jumped or
the load and ran, he heard Mrs. Row
land urging her husband to shoot him
and heard several bullets whiz past
him. Rowland did not appear to care
much when sentence was passed.
