LOOKS TOO INNOCENT
TO BE REAL SHERIFF

R. w. Craig of Lisbon, a son of Rev.
R. H. Craig, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of this city, is sher-
if of Ransom county, but he looks
like most anything else under the sun
than a typical sheriff.
The sheriff often finds it rather m
barrassing not to look the part. It is
very common for visitors to hustle
into his office with the statement:
81 want to see the sheriff"
Every WE'LL" replies Mr.. Craig.
And the visitor waits, and the sher-
if waits.
Finally, the visitor says:
"Really, I must see the sheriff
don't you think I can see him now"
"You are-you can-I'm it," asserts
Mr.. Craig, and then there are expla-
nations and apologies.
Despite his youthful appearance,
and the fact that he weighs about rs
pounds less than an average sheriff,
and is a lawyer by profession, Sheriff
Craig has succeeded in cleaning up
Ransom county to a point where law
breaking has become very uncommon.

COURT
AFFIRMS DECISION

An appeal from the district court Of
Stark county in the case of Ella Clark
plaintiff and respondent, VS.. Northern
Pacific Railway company, defendant
and appellant, resulted in a decision
affirming the lower court, according
to an opinion of the supreme court
rendered a few days ago.
The case was tried in district court
here before Judge Crawford three
years ago and grew out Of an injury
sustained by Ella Clark in a wreck
or the defendants line. Judgment
was rendered for the plaintiff in the
suit for damages and the railroad
company appealed. A peculiar and
very close point of law was involved
in the case as the plaintiff in the &C
ton had made a settlement with a
claim agent for the company a short
time following her injury when told
by a physician and also the claim
agent that her injury was very slight.
Later developments, however, war
ranted the damage suit and the court
holds that the question of the suffci-
ency of a release executed by the
plaintiff to the defendant was n of
fact for the jury, and that the evil
dence was examined and held suff-
Gent to justify the submission of the
validity of the release to the jury.
Casey 4 Burgeson, attorneys for
the plaintiff, argued the case in su-
preme court last March and the de-
%cision, affirming the lower court, is
rendered ten months later.

GEN. THOMAS POOLE MARRIED
TO MISS KATHARINE DWYER

On Wednesday, Dec. 27, at Colorado
Springs, Colo, occurred the marriage
of Gen. Thomas Poole to Miss Kath-
crime Dwyer, both of this city. The
ceremony took place at the home of
Mrs. Mary c. Dwyer, mother of the
bride. The bride was originally a
Jamestown girl, and later lived at Me-
dina, before moving to Bismarck SOM
five or six years ago.
Probably no man is more widely
known in the state of North Dakota
than General Poole. His earlier life
was spent at jamestown, where he
was educated, and he finally came to
Bismarck over 20 years ago. For a
number of years he has figured con-
spicuously in state politics. He was
private secretary to Gov. Fancher, and
held other positions under the state
government, finally being appointed
Adjutant General, which position he
held with credit to his ability as the
head of the First North Dakota In
fantry. He is now a chartered &C.
countant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Poole will make a tour
of several cities in the south, return
ing to Bismarck about the 18th of
January, after which date they will
be at home at the Mckenzie hotel
Bismarck Palladium.
