Of new cases, so as to clean the slate

radically wrong.
f. AS it seems, one judge has a good
reason for goihg off all next week and
so we must excuse him. Two judges
who have been longest in office are
now absent without leave They are
at Dickinson, hobnobbing and feast.

Two weeks ago there was present
ed to. our court two motions in. d.

jamestown had made. a decree taking
from the. mother the care and Gus
tody Of her three small children and
denying the mother the right to visit
her children, excepting one hour in
each week, in the presence of com
pany. When a Judge makes an order
so cruel and Calvinistic, it were we'll

We did not hesitate to give the chill

father every two alternate weeks, to
be kept at the home of their, grand
parents, who are anxious to care fQt
them. AS, defendant is Poor, we de-
MED notion to require him to- pay
the total expenses Of copying the re-

yet on proper showing, regardless
of his poverty, the plaintiff shoald
pay for copying his own testimony,
motions, objections, an dexceptiens.
Otherwise, a party might defeati the

often counsel abuse their privileges
by Offering immaterial matter and by
making needless objections and exceE

Normanna, N. D., Aug. 20,
Oscar Hiassen Of Normanna is
guilty Of practicing dentistry with
out a license, grievous crime in
this state. While autoing to town
he was stopped by a gypsy sitting
at the roadside hoIdina..a swollen
jaw and moaning. 81, The. gypsy
asked for pair of pliers, which
Oscar produced from his, tool
chest. The gypsy then displayed
the offending tooth, a majestic
n1oIar. Hiassen cIamped the pliers
on, gave a mighty heave,. and the
gypsy and tooth parted company.
The former was revived with. a
baptism of cold water and seemed
no worse for his experience.

that his a had disappeared.
He notified the police office at once,
and soon two officers were or the

The automobile was then brought

DIR. NANSEN MAY
BE NVITEDTO
COME HERE SOON
The Famous Explorer and
Statesman will Probably
Lecture in Northwest.

The news that DIR. Fridthiof Nam
sen, the famous Arctic explorer, has
arrived in Washington as the head Of
la Norwegian commission which will
discuss with the United States gov
eminent authorities the question of
export embargo with reference to the
situation in Norway, has caused con-
siderable interest among the large
number of DR.. Nansen's countrymen
who live in this city, and it is possible
that an effort will be made to invite
him here, If he as far west as
Minneapolis during his present visit.
It was pointed out today that al
though DIR. Nansen has been in this
country on several other occasions,
he has not yet visited Grand Forks
and it was felt that he, better than
any other Norwegian, would be able
to throw full light on the situation
Of the neutral European countries
during this, the final phase Of the
war.
A Washington dispatch intimates
that DR.. Nansen will travel to some
cities of the country and that he may
port embargo as it threatens to affect
Norway, and incidentally all other
neutral nations.
Fridthiof Nansen is probably the
most widely known Norwegian living
now. He first acquired fame by
reaching to a point in the Arctic re-
gions nearer the North pole than any
earlier explorers had come, SO de-
grees and IA minutes, and he after
ward lectured in several parts Of the
world regarding his adventurous tripl
DR.. Nansen has also been Nor
wegian ambassador to the British
court and his views on international
affairs have invited the thoughtful at
tention of a great many people in
various countries.
Just before DR.. Nansen departed
for America he published an essay in
a Norwegian periodical, calling atten-
ton to the mission of the Scandi-
navian nations after the war, and
emphasized the fact that the countries

some degree of Intellectual and .scien-
tifc superiority If they are to main

HAAKONSON IS
AGAIN In TOWN
STUDYING TAGS
Special Agent Of State Sec.
rotary Winds up Some
State Fair Week Cases.

O.. T. Haakonson. special officer and
representative Of Secretary of State
Hall, is in town for the third time
this summer. Mr.. Haakonson has
been in Fargo during the Interstate
fair this week and made a large
number of arrests of people who
neglected to display the two license
tags on their automobiles as required
by the laws of the state.
The special officer also detected a
number Of cases where fake tags had
been resorted to and several Fargo
owners Of automobiles and motor
cycles used Minnesota. tags instead of
North Dakota licenses.
Since his last visit here Mr.. Haak-
ports which brought him back today.
He also has some cases to wind up,
growing out Of violations of the law
during the state fair week.
Mr.. Haakonson said today that the
citizens of Grand Forks and vicinity
need not fear hat he will prosecute
them in any unfair manner. He de-
clared, however, that he stands for
rigid enforcement Of the laws, and
been committed, he considers it his
duty to make arrests and institute
proceedings.
The new law regarding headlight
DINNERS on automobiles will also be
enforced. The law went into effect
on July 1 and Mr.. Haakonson feels
that auto owners have had ample time
and opportunity to familiarize them
selves with the stipulations of that
law. For that reason he is not in
clined to show len1ency where 1t, ac-
cording to his views, would be mis-
placed.
1t Is not known whether Mr.. Haak.
onson's visit here today will be the
final one of the season, but even if II
is, prosecutions will re continued Al
he a made arrangements to keep ir
touch with the local situation wher'
ever he happens to be in the state.
o. T. Haakonson said this after
noon that the statement by Justice
Phil Mclaughlin in last Tuesday.
Herald, to the effect that he up tt
that day had made II arrests II
Fargo, was incorrect. He and his as
sistants had not made a single arrest
but had on their books the names O
II parties against whom warrant
were issued.
The procedure followed in Fargo Il
slightly different from that which ha,
been in use in this city. In the forme.
city warrants have to be issued be
fore the offender appears before /.
court, but here the special officer ma.
arrest a violator I'M bring him di
rectly before a Justice for immediat
decision Of his case.
i, Mr.. Haakonson said that he in
tended to leave for his home thi
evening, but that he would be bacl
in his neighborhood in the course o
a few DAYS.
