Y0UMANS CASE
IS DISPOSED OF
Supreme Court Upholds Legality of
Old Court in December Ruling
On Famous Case.

Bismarck, N. D., March 15.-The
state supreme court today concurred
in the ruling handed down in Decem-
ber by the old court denying petitions
for the rehearing Of the Grant S.
Youmans case.
-Four justices concurred in the rul-
ing, while Justice Robinson dissented
In dissenting from the majority
opinion written by Judge Cole of Far
go and signed by Judges Hanley
Christianson and Bruce, Justice Rob-
inson refers to the case as a travesty
on justice and parallel to the Drey.
fus case. He asserts every page of the
900 page record contains an error. He
predicts that the court will realize its
mistake and rehaer the case on it's
own motion.
ut is debt of justice" said JUS
tice Robinson, "and sooner or later
it will be paid"
In the majority opinion it is held
that Judges Fisk, Burke and Goss
were unquestionably defacto justices
of the supreme court during the
month of December, 1916, and that
their rulings were the rulings of the
supreme court.
The decision today was a denial of
a motion made by the attorneys for
Youmans to vacate the order of De-
cember which denied a rehearing, on
the ground that the court was unqual-
flied to act.

Last Sunday evening about the
time services begun at the M. r.
church, some miscreants threw a
large stone into the church, through
the door, soaring the worshippers and
throwing the meeting into a confus-
ion for a while. At the same time
the public school bell was rung for a
period of nearly five minutes. Taking
off the Sunday lid did not give any
person the right to do these things,
and for their benefit, we are author
lied to say that at least two Of the
party who indulged in that pastime
are surprised and a repetition will
start an inquiry from the officers Of
the law.--Mohall News.

Junior High School Notes

The Senior basket ball boys and
girls were pleasantly entertained on
Friday evening at the home Of Estella
Nordin.
The Seniors held class meeting
Friday night after school and decided
to have party, which will be held
week from next Friday. Each per-
son is requested to invite an outsider
so a good time is assured. The lunch,
we understand, is to be exceedingly
delicious as the refreshment commit
tee is made up Of "only boys"
The Juniors had a class party last
Friday night. The lunch was cut
rather short as the food supply be-
came exhausted before it was served.
Shortly afterwards a dark figure was
seen silhouetted on the fire escape
eating a cake, which solved the mys-
terry.
The Junior Cooking class served a
"course" dinner to the School Board
on Tuesday evening. The decorations
were beautiful and the cooking-well'
we don't like to boast but we were
quite pleased with it. We are now
looking forward to the "Mother's
Luncheon" to be held sometime IN
April. We hope to show our motners
of what stuff Seniors are MADE ana
what stuff Seniors can make.
Don't forget the Declamatory Con-
| test, which is to be held April 10.
The prizes given by the Bottineau
Literary Society are two dollars

CHANGES MADE
in LOCAL BANK
J L. Newhouse and HI. J. Dale Dis
pose of Interests in Bottineau
County Bank.

Last week deal was made where
by the Newhouse and Stabeck inter-
ests in the Bottineau County Bank
were purchased by H. J. Dale, Peter
4. Klyver and M. L. Helgerson. C. L.
Newhouse and H. N. Stabeck will re-
tire respectively as President and
Vice President of the institution.
The new owners carry with them
large financial interests, are bankers
of experience and are all we'll known
to the people of this community. Mr..
Dale being one Of the original organ
izers of the Dale-Stabeck Land and
Credit Company as well as a stock
holder of the bank and serving as it's
vice president for several years. He
has large farming and banking inter-
ests in Minnesota as we'll as in North
Dakota.
M. L. Helgerson is also we'll known
to the people of Bottineau and vicin-
I ity, serving first as assistant cashier
of the Bottineau County Bank for
about five years. After .severing his
| connections with the bank he was
elected Register Of Deeds of Bottineau
county, later engaging in business for
himself in Minneapolis. He still has
considerable farming and banking in
terests in the state, being one of the
owners of the Penn State Bank, Penn,
N. D., and is at present vice presi-
dent of the First National Bank of
Rushford, Minnesota. Sometime dur
ing the early summer he will become
actively engaged as one of the Of
ficers of the bank.
P. L. Klyver has been a resident
of the state for over thirteen years,
during which time he has been active
ly engaged in the banking business
and will continue as cashier and active
manager of the institution. This po-
sition he has held during the past two
years, during which time the bank has
made substantial growth and for that
reason needs no introduction to the
public. He has considerable farming
interests in this state and has always
been great believer in the future OF
North Dakota.
There will be no other changes IN
the bank force, Anton Lallum and G,
w. Feathers retaining their respect
i've official capacities. One new cor
respondent, the First National Bank
of st. Paul, will be added to it's list
All the former correspondents, includ-
ing the Gold-Stabeck Loan & Credit
Company, will be retained by the bank
thereby insuring the public of the
same strong financial connection it
has enjoyed in the past.
The bank, from a very small begin
ming, has always enjoyed the conf
dence of the public so that its volume
of business today is nearly three quar-
ters of million and ranks as one OF
the strongest and largest banks in
this section of North Dakota.

WANT UNCLESAM
TO TAKE ROADS
Minot Citizens Petition President to
Have Government Take Over
All Railroads.

Minot, March 18.-A petition was
being extensively signed yesterday
which is addressed to the President Of
the United States asking him to ex-
ercise his high position to prevent the
threatened strike and to take over the
operation and control of the railroads
of the country for the purpose Of US
ing them in the interests of the public
and to avoid conditions which now
threaten the country. The petitioners
further ask that in time the govern
ment becomes the owner of the rail-
lroads of the country.
The petition which is self-explana-
tory, follows:
To Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President
of the United States Of America:
We, the undersigned, residents, citi-
zens and legal voters Of the United
States of America, hereby petition you
to use your influence as citizen and
as the highest official of our land
to prevent and avoid the threatened
and pending railroad strike.
We further petition that as a step
toward such prevention that you exer-
else your power as President OF the
United States and as such official to
effect the thorough and complete con-
troll of the railroads in their owenrship
and operation and that as means
to so effect this control satisfactorily,
permanently and effectively that said
railroads be owned by the govern
ment. It is our opinion that this is
the only proper and efficient manner
of effecting such control and as the
government work is now conducted
on an eight hour basis, then all rail-
road work would necessarily come un-
der such eight hour law and thus
avoid all danger of strikes and dis
putes upon the question OF hours OF
labor.
It is our further opinion that If
the railroads were operated and owned
by the government all employees
would be better satisfied and content
ed and the disputes and differences
now all the time existing would pass
away by reason of their work beng
insured, their hours settled, and they
would then undoubtedly feel more a
part of the government and interested
in it's proper and successful manage
ment.
At this time of great danger from
war, a railroads strike impresses us,
that true patriotism would urge every
true and loyal officer and citizen to
use his power and influence to do all
in his power or her power to prevent
a strike and for that reason we ap-
peal to you to enter this branch at
this delicate time and declare against
any and all strikes and prevent the
same by the means above stated.

German stations. These messages
came in loud enough to be heard by
everyone in the room.

TO Find MISSING RANCEER

Magdalena, y. NJ, May Ill J.
Otto. an old resident of the Quemado
country. about SO miles to the north
west of AIagdalena, has been missing
for about two months and it is be-
lieved that he has lost his life in the
hills OF that country.
About two months ago the aged
man was seen at the ranger station
near Quemado, where he stopped on
the trace Of some missing horses. On
leaving he stated that he intended to
walk to his home, some 20 miles dis
tant Since then nothing has been
heard or seen Of him. and as he was
in failing health il is believed he be-
came seriously i'll on his way and ex-
pired.
Searching parties that have been
looking for him in that part OF the
country have been unable TO find n
trace OF the wanderer. The missing
man had a small ranch near QuemadO,
where he lived alone.

mated by the action of the council Of

With a view to securing the
largest possible measure OF common

bill would provide for council OF

cations, consisting, on the one hand,
of ali members returned to West
minister from the excluded area and,
