Famous Hill Herd of
Shorthorns at Northcote

These cattle need no introduction to
the people of Minnesota, North and

GOD MY DEFENSE"
WOMAN SAYS

Grand Forks, N. D.. Jan. 11.-Mrs.
Lizzie White, arrested on the general
charge of re-establishing her residence
in property from which she had been
evicted by court order, was granted q
continuance, when she appeared before
Judge Phil McLoughlin shortly after
her arrest. The case will come up this
afternoon, by which time Mrs. White
hopes to be able to get an attorney to
represent her in her defense. Her hus-
band was discharged when he assured
the court that he would not again enter
the premises.
The property involved is the old Gen.
trail hotel at 203 South Fourth street,
which was turned over to the North
western Savings & loan association of
Fargo upon a special order after the
redemption period on the foreclosure
held by them had expired. The case
has been in litigation for number of
years. 81, e.
: The proceedings before Judge Nc
Loughlin were enlivened by a pyrotech-
mic display of argumenLaCive language
on the part of Mrs. White, in which
States Atty. T. B. Elton was especially
favored. "God is my defense and money
is yours" she declared heatedly. Atty.
W. H. Shure, of Fargo, representing the
plaintiff in the action, declared the case
will be fought through to a settle
ment. '" e.

POOL HALL men
TO COOPERATE

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 11.-Repre-
sentatives of North Dakota's 1877 pool
hall men will assemble at the COM
mercial club rooms next Tuesday to
decide upon an active campaign for
the repeal of the more drastic fea-
lures of the Sunday closing laws,
whose result, if enforced, will be to
cut out the conduct of pool rooms on
the first day of the week.
Bismarck pool hall proprietors are
much interested in the movement, and
they anticipate there will be here
quite general representation from all
parts of the state. James e. Regain
of Mandan, father of the movement,
has sent broadcast a letter in which
he states:
CAS- you are doubtless aware, prac-
ticalIy every interest in this state is
organized in some form or other. The
pool and billiard men have never
organized and have never been repre-
scented before the legislature, and the
result has been that laws have been
passed which now make it impossible
to do profitable business in our line
without in some way infringing upon
the adverse laws that have been pass
ed. Heretofore these laws have not
affected us so badly for the reason
that only in scattered territory were

WOULDCOMBINE
PRIMARY and
CONVENTION.
(By II. d. Paulson.I

Bismarck. n. D., Jan. II A
combination of the present primary
with the old convention system, as
recommended by Governor Hanna in
his exaugural address. will be provid-
ed for in a bill which Senator Mclean
Of Cavalier is now preparing. The
veteran member from the Eighteenth
believes that a decrease in expense
and much more satisfactory results
generally are to be gained from such
a plan.
The general idea of the bill is to
provide for the election at county
primaries of delegates to the state
the candidates of their party. II they
succeed in tremendously agreeing upon
a full slate of one candidate for each
Office that shall become the ticket of
their party and there will be no further
primary. II they fail to agree upon
one set of candidates, two may be
placed in the field, and a primary
then will decide.
The idea of the bill is to do away
with a multiplicity of primary candi-
dates which is said to sometimes re-
suit in men unfit for office receiving
the nomination to the discredit OF
their party.

CHANGE OF VENUE
IN MURDER CASE

Stanton, n. D., Jan. 11.-At the
recommendation Of the board of
county commissioners of Mercer coun-
ty, a change of venue will be taken in
the Starkweather murder case which
was tried in Morton county and ended
in disagreement of the Jury, accord
ing to a statement given out by
States Attorney Berry.
In his charge to the jury Judge
Hanley has established a new preced-
ent in explaining to the jury the diff
ference of a verdict for manslaughter
in the first and in the second degree,
and 1t is said that never before did a
judge in this state make a more con-
else and instructive charge to the
jury. He explained the vast difference
of accidental shooting through an act
of carelessness, and the accidental
shooting in an act of aggression. From
what we can learn. the defense was
we'll pleased with the treatment re-
ceived at the hands Of judge Hanley,
and the taking Of a change Of venue
on the grounds OF prejudice is taken
merely because the defense feels that
under the circumstances it would be
impossible to get justice in the Nor
ton county court.

SHORT BALLOT
BILL PROPOSED

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 11.-One Of
the bills which is to receive early con-
sideration from the senate Is a short
ballot measure, reducing the number
of elective officers to the governor and
treasurer, and making all other state
officers appointive.
This measure is favored by Senator
Mclean of Cavalier, who is now at
work on a draft Of his bill. The pur-
pose is to decrease the size of the
ballot, and thus to eliminate much of
the confusion incident to the present
complicated ballot, which in the last
general election covered a sheet Of
paper four feet long and three feet
wide, and at the same time to place
the responsibility for his administra-
ton upon the shoulders of the COVER
nor. who is given power to appoint
his aides.
The bill would give both elective
officers single four-year terms. The
inability Of governor to succeed
himself would obviate all inducement
to him to devote his first term in office
to the building up Of a political ma.

GRAND FORKS
INVITE EDITORS

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 11.-When
the North Dakota Press association
meets in Bismarck, Thursday and Fri
day, Feb. 1 and 2, Grand Forks repre-
sentatives probably will invite pub
fishers to hold their annual midsummer
meeting in this city. One of the big
gest summer meetings in the history of
the organization was held here several
years ago, and local members OF the
association, as we'll as commercial club
officials, feel that, if given a chance
they can make the 1917 meeting big
ger success. -
The midwinter meeting at Bismarck
will be one of unusual Importance. The
association always has several legisla-
tive matters to attend to, and, there
fore, it was decided to meet this year
in the capital CITY during the legisla-
tive session. It is expected that the
meeting will be unusually well at
tended.
