AGAINST BIG MINOT HOTEL

Minot, N. D., May 1.-THE Lex
inton Hotel, owned by Olaf Olson, the
largest hotel in this city and one of
the largest hotels in the state, was
tonight ordered closed under a bawdy
house indictment issued by Judge
Leighton of the district court, as re-
suit of Attorney General Langer's

tered the hotel tonight he found that
it was filled with guests who are in
the city over Sunday and as result
the injunction will not 60 into effect
until ten o'clock Monday morning,
when the hotel will be closed and
placed in charge Of the sheriff. Olson,
who is one Of the wealthiest men in
this district, has been arrested, on
eight charges and released on $15,-
600 bail. It is believed that he will
take action to prevent the closing Of
his hotel.

they are afraid to meet me on the is
sues involved in the last campaign i?
1t cannot be denied that my challenge
was specific and my question in
point. Are the House members
afraid Of it?
The Courant insinuates that I have
issued series of challenges. 1t knows
better and I can prove it by Editor
Rishoff's own editorial utterances. I
first issued challenge for a general
debate at the proposed June picnic,
the idea being that both sides should
procure good speakers. That the
Courant so understood it is evident
from the fact that it demanded I per-
sonally enter a debate to defend my
course. I felt that if it was my duty
to defend my course it must also be
the duty Of the House members to, de-
fend theirs. Therefore I issued a di-
rect challenge to them, and still hold
out the challenge for the debate at the
proposed June picnic. Again, I want
it understood that I concur most hear
t1ly in the Courant's stand that there
should be no new propositions until
my challenge to the House members
is disposed Of.
Are there any Slackers in the House
delegation?

A MODERN CICERO.

History repeats itself. Ancient his
tory had one Cicero, who showed his
genius in his ten debates. Nc 49,
history has also a Cicero, located &
Souris, in Bottineau county, N. D.
The greatest mistake of the citi-
zens of Bottineau county was when
they retired this modern Cicero from
the N. D. Senate and since his retire
nent by the people, nothing has been
done or said, in political ways, which
is in accordance with this Cicero's
store of gray matter.
He states that Mr.. Sandstrom has
taken on a large amount of work
when he challenged the four house
members of Bottineau county.
I believe Mr.. Sandstrom is capable
Of defending h;1-o~~lf and if he is not,
do not think that he will call on the
Souris Cicero for help. Why is it that
he (Cicero) did not accept the chal-
lenge Of Mr.. T. D. Acheson, a school
teacher Of this county, to defend his
convictions like a man, instead of
throwing mud through the .Souris
Messenger? It is up to Mr.. Garden to
give the public some facts in opposi-
tion to House Bill A, instead of this
slander and villifcation which will get
him and all other League opponents

BREAKS into
JUDGES SLEEP
Attorney General, With Military
Guard, Slipt Into Minot While
Town Slept.

Minot, N. D., May 14.-Attorney
General LANCER came to Minot early
this morning by auto, looking for the
officer having a warrant for his ar
rest. He was unal le to locate him,
so he reused Judge Murray from his
sleep and appeared before him. In a
short court session bail was fixed at
$1,000 and LANCER Immediately de-
parted for Bismarck in his car, say
ing Governor Frazier had ordered him
to return Immediately. The prelimin-
ary hearing of LANCER will be held on
Saturday. LANCER was accompanied
by his military guard. His visit sur
prised even Assistant Dan Brennan.
Preliminary hearings will begin this
afternoon and it is probable that war
rants will be issued on contempt
charges against several arrested last
week.

WILL TAKE ON STAIR.

The Bottineau Courant, claiming to
speak with authority, accepts for Mr..
Stair my challenge to debate the fol-
lowing question:
Resolved, That the action of the
Senate majority conformed to the is
sues involved m the 1916 campaign
and redeemed the pledges enunciated
by and embodied in the (League) Re-
publican platform. :.
The Courant also furnishes the fur
ther information that Mr.. Stair ac-
cepts my challenge unconditionally,
and desires that would suggest some
one who would preside over the meet
ing in fair and impartial manner.
Conforming to Stairs acceptance
and suggestions, hereby announce
that l will meet him at the Grand
Theatre at Bottineau on the afternoon
of June End, 1917, at o'clock, for the
purpose of debating the above ques-
tion, on which I challenged him and
also his House colleagues. I name
Bottineau as the place for debate, for
the reason that this is the home of
Mr.. Stair as we'll as myself and it
will certainly be convenient for both
to reach the meeting place. I would
suggest Mr.. o. T. Rishoff as Presiding
Officer and that the time be divided
according to the usual terms Of de-
bate.
I heartily agree with the Courant's
statement that "there should be no
occasion for new propositions and still
more challenges" and earnestly hope
that Mr.. Stair will be on hand t. de-
bate the above question without sub
mitting any counter-propositions.
Now, as to Messrs. Miller and Hag-
an, the Courant says that it is auth
orized to speak for them and announ-
ces that they are ready to accommo-
date me with debate at each and
every place I named in my challenge,
but their acceptance is based on my
first meeting Mr.. Stair. To have
their acceptances contingent on a de-
bate with Mr.. Stair makes it vague
and indefinite to So the least. Sup
pose Mr.. Stair hido~ behind coun-
ter-proposition or backs out altogeth-
er-what then? Ca"not Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Hagan specifically say yes
above their own signatures and un-
qualifiedly accept my challenge, or be
frank enough to admit that after all
the charges that their crowd has made

HANNA LOSES
in BANK CASE
Judge Pollock Reversed BY Unani.
nous Decision in Famous Med
ina Bank Case.

Bismarck, N. D., May 12.-In a
unanimous decision, the state supreme
court today reversed former Judge
Chas. A. Pollock of Cass county and
held against former Governor L. B.
Hanna and the First National Bank
of Fargo in the Medina bank case.
Michael Murphy, receiver for the
Medina State bank of Medina, alleges
that Governor L. B. Hanna, E. ].
Weiser, and the First National bank
of Fargo, took certain securities
amounting to $4,000 being all of the
available assets that could be easily
converted into cash, and promised in
return to loan it sufficient money to
keep up it's credit.
Mr.. Murphy started suit for $4,000
damages. ..
Governor Hanna and the First Ma
tional bank entered demurrer, which
Judge Pollock sustained. Mr.. Murphy
and the supreme court today
reversed the Judge, which means that
the case goes back to district court
to be tried on it's merits.
Justice Birdzell wrote the opinion.
The justice maintains that where a
complaint alleges that it was agreed
that when a certain party promised to
loan money in pursuance to securities
deposited there-with and then refus-
ed to do it, that such complaint states

TO BUILD fine
ROAD TO LAKE
Plans Under Way For Excellent High.
way Between Bottineau and Lake
Metigoshe.

Present indications point to the ear
ly realization of a cherished dream of
years-an excellent road between Bot
tineau and Lake Metigoshe.
Plans are under way whereby such
a road will be constructed jointly by
the townships of Roland and Whittier
on, the city of Bottineau and Botti-
neau county.
A contractor from Rolette county
was here the first of the week and
made a hasty survey of the route. He
agreed to build a first class road,
thirty-two feet wide, the entire dis
tance between Bottineau and the lake,
for the sum Of $4,000. He offered to
enter into a contract to have the road
completed within twenty days and
that it would be as "fine road as the
streets of Bottineau."
This party has built practically all
the roads in Rolette county in recent
years and his roads through the Tur-
tie Mountains in the vicinity of Bel
court, st. John and Rolla are said to
be the finest in the state.
A delegation from the Bottineau
club, as we'll as represen-
tatives from the county and town.
ship boards, made an auto trip to
Rolette county yesterday to inspect
some of these roads and they are all
in their praise of these
At a special meeting Of the COM
nercial club held Tuesday afternoon
he matter was presented and, by a
unanimous vote the club decided to
stand it's share Of the expense in con-
;tructing such a highway to the lake.

Is it an empty scheme to get hail in
surance at cost or taxation only on
land values or to save $55, ,O00,O on
a single crop by l>r '+';rg and operat-
ing elevators and mills? Is it a graft
to cut out a graft of 1925 on each .98
lb. sack of flour made from so lb.
wheat? If "Plain Enough" cannot
see anything but an empty scheme in
all that some one should proceed to
hang crepe on his nose-his brain is
dead.
AS for the farmers $780,. Is it
anybody's business but his own what
he does with his money? Falkenstein
pays $1,000 per year dues to men,
bership of the Commercial club and
nobody kicks but when the farmer
pays $500 a year toward supporting
the N. P. l.. you hear great howl
about graft and it's not the man that's
doing the paying that does the kick
ing either. There's a reason.

is THIS PLAIN ENOUGH?

Editor Courant:
Would like to make a few remarks
about statements made by "Plain
Enough" Falkenstein under above
heading.
First he says: "Having farming in
terests of our own it would not appear
likely that we would have anything
else than the farmers interests at
heart" Nine-tenths of the well-to-do
townspeople can make the same
statement but does that prove that
their interests are in any way identi-
cal, unless of course, it can be proven
that it's to the farmers interest to pay
as much rent as possible. He takes
mighty good care that he isn't up in
time to feed and harness team, clean
stables, slop pigs, etc., and be ready
for breakfast at six o'clock.
Second he says: "The organization
is run by bunch of bull-dozers. If
the farmers themselves had anything
to say about the organization it might
be different, but they have not" Now
I want Mr.. Falkenstein to deny. if he
dare, that the last N. P. L. convention
voted to continue the present officers
and manager in office until the next
convention in March 1918. These
men were duly elected delegates to
this convention and thus represented
the farmer members and yet "Plain
Enough" tells us "they have not" any
say in the management Of their own
organization. It's too bad that An
ninias couldn't come back, "Plain
Enough" could show him that he was
only a piker after all.
Third he says: 'There is here and
there a salaried farmer like Stair,
whom it pays well to stay with the
organization. Would Stair "stick" If
he was not we'll paid for doing it,"
Does "Plain Enough" expect Stair
or anyone else to work for nothing !!
Can he find q farmer who expects it
or would be willing to do SO himself !
If Mr.. Stair isn't getting well paid
for his work it is time to discuss q
change of management. The farmers
are not asking or expecting charity;
they are asking for square deal and
are paying out their good money TO
Get It and nobody but "Plain Enough"
and few others who "have farming
interests Of their own" are doing any
kicking. :,
Fourth again he says: I've will
gladly support, as we have in the past,
any legitimate organization Of farm
ers. but not one whose principal OBJ
iect seems to be to get the money and
rive empty schemes in return"
In one breath he objects that 9
bunch of bull-dozers get the money
md IA the next that they pay It out
Is wages, and all for empty schemes.
