CONTENTION OF BURNETT
IS SUSTAINED IN COURT

Federal court is in session in Bis.
marck this week, and a number OF
criminal cases are listed for hearing
A. D. Heaton of this city has been
called for jury service and has report
ed at the capital city. There are only
eight equity scheduled for hear
ing, the most important of which is
the Todd Company ". City of Bis
marck.
Of interest locally was the victory
last week of w. F. Burnett Of this
city and Charles Simon Of New Eng
land in their contention that they
were entitled to remuneration in the
case of John P. Franz v. the MllWau-
kee Railway. Mr.. Franz petitioned
for dismissal of the suit in which
Simon and Burnett were acting, de-
claring that he had never authorized
the former to bring suit. He claimed
that jacobson & Murray Of Mott we're
his legal representatives, and they ,ap-
pear for Franz in another action lden-
tical in every particular with the one
filed by Simon.
The local man presented evidence
sufficient to convince the court that ne
and Simon had been originally re-
tanned in the case, and had done a
large amount of work in their clients
behalf. Thereupon, the Judge ordered
the action instituted by them to be
dismissed, but ordered that they have
a right to recover for their services
from any Judgment awarded Franz.

FAREWELL FUNCTION IN
HONOR OF MISS HANKE

A very pretty reception was tend
eredt o Miss Lillina Hanke Saturday
evening at the Elks' club parlors by
the local chapter of the Red Cross.
Miss Hanke. is the first Red Cross
nurse from Dickinson to be called
to the colors and expected to leave
Sunday in company with three Fargo
nurses for Mare island, as per in
structions received from the govern
ment. Through some misunderstood
ing, the Fargo nurses failed to enlist
and Miss Hanke is still waiting ord
ers. r'' .'.
The rooms were very prettily deco
rated in the national colors, appro-
pirate to the occasion, and a great
many people called during the even
ing to say farewell to Miss Hanke.
During the evening violin selections
were rendered by Miss Singer, Fred
Hoffman offered in a clever comedy
m%onologue done in blackface; a fare
we'll paper was read by Miss Tobin,
who has also offered her services to
the government, and there was a
reading by Miss Fannie Singer.
Mesdames Berry, Lillibridge and
Washer acted as h%ostesses, and frappe
was served by Misses Geraldine Berry
and Alice Leary.

Verdict of Jury.

- Verdict of the jury was that Math-
las Wetzstein came to his death from
a gun in the hands Of Adolph Leh-
mann, the shooting being with fe-
lonious intent.
Funeral services for Wetzstein were
held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock,
and interment was in the Catholic
cemetery at R%ichardton. He is sur
vived by his father, Valentine Wetz-
stein, who resides IS miles northeast
of Richardton, and by several broth
ers. His mother preceded him in
death. The slain man resided on a
farm in the Marshall country. He
was 80 years Of age.
Lehman is in his 31st year, and is
a prosperous rancher, his home being
located about three miles east of
Richardton. He has several hundred
acres Of land under cultivation, and
has large possessions. in livestock. q
Sentiment Is Divided.
Neither party to the killing had
ever been in serious trouble before,
though it is said that Wetzstein
served a term in the reformatory
several years ago. Public sentiment
in Richardton is divided as to the
crime. Some residents of the COM
munity declare that Lehman was a
dangerous man, feared even by his
relatives and neighbors. Others as
sert that he was a man who bothered
no one attending strictly to his bust
ness affairs. The citizens are also di-
vided as to the slain mans character,
assertions being made by some that
he was a timid man, who would harm
one, while, conversely, the state
ment is made that he was a trouble
maker.
Attorney L. A. Simpson has been
retained to defend Lehman, and case
will probably be up for hearing at the
term Of court.
Mrs. Wetzstein was taken from the

It is practically certain that June 5

Der Of cities. Grand Forks is the first
city in the state to complete plans for
the day, and elaborate arrangements
have been made there, including a big

Governor Peter Norbeck of South
Dakota issued proclamation Wednes-

Every man who registers on June 5
will be given a registration certificate.
This will be a small blue card about
the size of an, ordinary business card,
convenient for carrying. And woe be
unto the man who is unable to pro-
duce one Of these cards after regis

says, "Much inconvenience will be
spared those who are registered if
they will keep these certificates al
ways in their possession"
Officers will be appointed to ascer-
tain after registration whether all
citizens within the age limit have been
enrolled. Police officers will play an
active part in the registration also.
It will be their duty to examine the
registration lists and make III that
all liable to registration have been
listed.

will There Be q Coal Shortaue
Next Fall and Winter?

The best authorities o n the coal question apree that tba situation,
right o is fully as serious as it was last winter when snow and cold
were hampeing the railroads terribly. The reasons given fol this belief
are a. follows:
LIST. There are 81 many NEW uses for American Goa that thew
plus the ordinary demands, are calling for a far greater>tonnape than the
mines a possibly produce, and this is being greatly aggravated nv the
call from Europe for large amounts of coal and the demand of the armv.
navy and farms for men
End. The railroads struggled s. hard last year to nee all demanda
for transportation that they wore out cars and engines and ae TODAY
wearing them out faster than they a be built. There is M hone now
of the railroads catching up with normal American business for a fnn
year, and that does not take into consideration the war demands.
have I'll very low. These will have to be replaced this spring and sum-.
mr, compelling the railroads to give coal second and third consideration
This will delay the movement of storage coal until it is too late to avoid
a serious shortage for next winter.
Any coal dealer IF person who has studied the situation will verify
these statements if you want further proof.
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS COMING SHORTAGE?
1t is doubtful if it can be entirely prevented, but NJ thing and onlv
one thing might help some. If you and other consumers would begin at

instead of forcing them to the storage docks now and taking chances of
getting reshpment next fall and winter a wanted.
Our bins will hold a limited quantity. If We could fill and emptv
them several times this summer, o. sell several hundred tons direct from
cars, it would help you and u to play safer at least.
WE WANT TO ADD THIS FINAL WORD OF wARN1NG:-1f o
pass the above statements by in the belief that it's merely a plan on our
part to do a lot of summer coal business, you re very likely to find
yourself in a serious predicament mex fall and winter-enirely without
coal and unable to get any anywhere.
We beIeve the above facts about the coal situation are vev conser-
vative and that the final outcome cal be a whole lot more serious than w
have indicated. Read the above yer again, then think hard and quick,
and act accordingly.

Carl F0hr, Once
of Stark County,,
Killed by Officer

Carl Flohr, formerly a resident of
the Lefor country, and we'll known in
Dickinson, was shot and instantly
killed at Billings, Mont, last week by
a police officer of that city, while at
tempting to escape from custody.
Flohr, it is said, had been arrested on
a minor charge, and was being taken
to the Jail, when he attempted to
make a getaway. The officer COM
manded him to halt, but Flohr disre-
garded the order, and the policeman
fired, striking vital spot uninten-
tionally. Flohr passed away a few
minutes afterward.

mann's statement, that he met the
latter a short distance from the barn,
with gun in hand.
Mrs. Darling's statement at the in
quest was that she endeavored to keep
lehman away from Wetzstein. She
declares that Lehman Shouted that
he was after Wetzstein, that he was
going "to get the Russian" because
he had threatened to take his life.
Jealousy Is Motive.
Trouble between the two men is
said to be of long standing, and at
the base of the trouble seems to be
the woman. She owned property in
the vicinity Of Lehmann's ranch, and
some time ago resided in his home as
housekeeper. Both men paid court to
her, it is said, and last October Wetz-
stein was married to her in Sidney,
Mont.
Lehman, at the time of the shoot
ing, carried a Letter which he received
from Wetzstein recently, in which it
is alleged, the latter declared that he
would get him on sight. And in the
same pocket with the letter, which he
declares increased his fear almost to
insanity, he carried a photograph of
Mrs. Wetzstein.
Inquest was conducted at the scene
Of the shooting Sunday evening, with
Coroner A. D.. Davis in charge.

ing taken, substantially as given in

ton for a time was critical.
