SCHOENLEIN GETS
JAIL SENTENCE ON
s.. CONTEMPT CHARGE

Geo. Schoenlein, who was arrested
last week in connection with the depot
robbery at Richardton and also for
infractions of the prohibition law, was
before Judge w. c. Crawford Thurs
day on charge of contempt of
court, entered plea of guilty and
was sentenced to 120 days in Jail and
a fine Of 5000 and costs of prosecution.
The charge of contempt of court
against Schoenlein was made possible
on account of the defendant being
already bound over to the district
court and awaiting a second trial on a
charge of violating the prohibition
law when he was arrested on the Sec
ond charge. The other charges pre-
ferred against him will likely come up
at the next term of district court in
this county.

Local High School
Quint Defeats the
Mundu7l Team

The basketball game between the
Dickinson and Mandan high school
quints, played on the armory floor
Friday evening proved highly. inter-
esting to the large audience in at
tendance. Although the Dickinson
boys maintained the lead from the
very first, yet the Mandan boys played
with a determination that at times
threatened the superior score Of the
home boys. The members of both
teams played good ball and displayed
splendid team work., They seemed to
lack the real snap, however, that goes
for a fast game. The final score
stood 20 to 18 in favor of the Dick
inson team.
The home boys have not lost a
single game this season, seemingly
duplicating the brillians work of the
high school team Of last year. Dick
inson will undoubtedly represent the
Missouri Slope at the state tourna-
ment, as the champion team of
southwestern North Dakota.
The Friday lineup was as follows:
Dickinson Mandan
McCutchan rf Cummins
Brodie If Peters
Tilluuist Pfenning
Guon rg Sullivan
Ware ~,.... lg Ford
Scharf substituted for Broiie as
left forward in the second half.
Play Beach Tonight
The Dickinson quint will play the
Beach aggregation on the latter's
floor this (Friday) evening. A large
delegation Of rooters will accompany
the team to assist in wrestling the
second successive victory from the
border line town this season.

FILINGS UNDER
640-ACRE Law
ARE HELD UP

Although the Dickinson land office
officials have not as yet received rul-
ings from the department on the
text of the new 64O-acre homestead
law, which went into effect last
month, a great many filings on ad-
ditional entries are being received
from various portions of the district.
The officials of the local land office
are as much in the dark as to what
the rulings of the department will be
average person with the exception of
their general knowledge Of the law.
A provision is made for the designa-
tion by the United States land depart
ment Of all lands which will come
under the new law, as was done in
the 320-acre law which went into ef-
feet last July.
It is generally understood, however,
that the new ruling will apply only
to rough, broken land as the govern
ment goes on record frankly as be-
lieving that $40 acres of this land are
necessary to support a family. This
would indicate that in no case will
any land other than very rough land
be designated as especially COM
ing under the new ruling. It is be-
lieved also that the general provis-
ions regarding the increase of the
land holdings Of homesteader under
the 320-acre law will apply to the
640-acre law.
Filings accepted at the local land
office are held pending the receipt of
the ruling from the secretary of the
Interior.
This law does not revive nor en-
large the rights of anyone who has
heretofore filed upon public land in
the humid regions. The only person
who has already filed upon land whose
rights are increased by this law is the
one who has entered and still holds
land of the nature described in this
act-that is, one who has filed upon
and still holds, either before or after
final proof, public land designated by
the Secretary Of the Interior or here
after to be designated by him as
chiefly valuable for grazing and rails
ing forage crops and of such charact-
er that $40 acres are reasonably re-
quired for the support of family.
Such a person may increase his

tions.
Following the banquet, which will
be served to the above only, the re-
ception committee will meet the boys
and visitors in the armory from 7:3O
to 500, then for one hour the boys
and the citizens generally will as
semble to hear welcome addresses,
closing the evening with an open pub
lie dance. The citizens as a body are
most cordially invited to the recep-
tion at 1880 and should prepare to
stay for the entire evening.
The following telegram was re-
ceived from Capt. Barker on Wednes-
day morning relative to the time of
the mastering out:
"Will not be mustered out before
the 10th anyway and it will possibly
be later. Will write exact time of de-
parture."
The committee will hope to give the
exact date Of their coming in the
next issue of the Press.

With Employees

The employees of the big Touring
mill of the Russell Miller Milling Co

this week when they received notice
that the company had voted to divide
their extra earnings with their en-

button to their employees at all of
their mills in North Dakota and Min
nesota.
