 Visit Lebanon Green.
 Local visitors at Lebanon Green mo- tice many changes in the green Part of it has been plowed and planted with corn and potatoes. The grass has been allowed to grow into hay so foot fagpo1e has been erected near the town hall for a f1agpole so the towns people cannot forget that it was there that Lafayette and Washington con ferred with Trumbull and where Rochambeau drilled the French troops as well as the American volunteers.
 Many visitors make the detour around the green when travelling from Hartford to New London, and it is we'll worth the trip. The war office is in splendid condition and stands one of the most noted historic spots in this part of the state.

SEEK CHANGE
IN DISTRICTS
Argument in Senate Over
Effort to Remove the
Lines of Court.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb 1S.-Senators
almost lifted another lid today when
they started to suspend the rules to
permit the introduction of more bills.
One bill got through i'll this manner
and when an effort was made to re-
peal 1t. Senators Hyland and Allen OBJ
jected. Senator Allen moved that a
committee Of five be named to consid-
er such bills as the members felt were
necessary to their peace of mind or
the welfare of the state. The commit
tee is Senators Allen, Ettestad. Row,
McCarten and Nelson of Richland.
New District.
The bill that got through was that
of Senator Wenstrom creating a new
judicial district, the Fourteenth, to be
comprised of Eddy, Foster, Wells,
Sheridan and Slope counties
Senator Ployhar asked if the meas
ure would affect the boundaries Of
the Fifth district, and vas assured by
Senator Wenstron1 that it would not.
and so when it was read and was
found, it removed Eddy and Wells
from the Fifth district. Senator Ploy-
har entered q personal protest to
Wenstrom. The bill provides for the
appointment of the judge of the new
district by the governor to serve until
the next general election.
Early in the session Senator Jacob
son introduced bill providing for q
new thirteenth district

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 13.-Law en-
forcement and Sunday baseball are
the issues attracting the attention of
the legislators and others at the
present moment.
The first issue is based on House
which has been considered, reconsid-
cred, referred and re-referred,
amended and re-amended. has been
beaten almost to death and then
resurrected, has been the cause of
more friction in the secret caucus
than any other half dozen measures,
and finally after the house today had
refused to accept the report Of the
committee of the whole on Saturday
picked up and tossed over to the
committee on appropriations.
Again Contention.
Tonight House Bill 81 was again q
bone of contention in the secret
caucus and caused q warm debate
which lasted for more than an hour
and did not end even when the caucus
adjourned. for the reason that some
league members who are growing
tired Of caucus dictation on matters
affecting affairs in their own counties
and districts. were not convinced the
caucus decision that the bill should
be passed was right.
Will Not Revolt.
It is not to be imagined that the
bill will not pass because these men,
bers are disgruntled.
They will vote for it as they have
every other measure that has been
given the sanction of the bosses.
They have not Vet reached the
point where they carry into their vot-
ing their revolt against being driven
to do things they feel are not right.
But the hold of the caucus seems
to be weakening, especially with the
members who have much to lose
when the people come to full un-

Much Wanted Check
Artist is Arrested

Jamestown, N. D., Feb. 14.-Sher-
iff Ross received word yesterday that
w. j. Bear, better known as "Blon-
dy," is being held at Rockford, ILL.,,
awaiting the arrival of local officers
to bring him back to jamestown to
answer the charge Of forgery. Bear,
who forged checks to the value Of
over 5000 here the latter part Of jan
uary, has successfully evaded the po-
lice officers until few days ago.
It was by the rankest kind of a
"bone" that he was apprehended. A
jamestown firm received word that a
young man calling himself w. J. Bear
was seeking employment at Rockford
and had given the name of this local
company to be used as a reference
The company Immediately referred
the letter to the county officials who
wired the Rockford police to hold
Blondy until they could come for
him. Extradition papers will be made
out today and Sheriff Ross or his dep
uty expects to leave for Illinois to-
night.
A local man, who claims that he
knew nothing of the charges against
Bear, met him in st. Paul and. Blon-
dy told him to give the chief of police
and the sheriff his best regards. 1t
was not until the message was deliv-
cred to Chief Obermiller that the
messenger fully understood the mes
sage, Blondy is about 20 years Of
age.

COAL FIRE UNDER
SCHOOL CONTROLLED

Dunn Center. N. D., Feb. 13.-The
fire under the school house basement
and which caused considerable con-
cern to the school board and $400
damage to the building, has been
completely extinguished and the work
Of repairing the floor is going on at
a rapid pace.
Investigation Of the case proved
that there was only a three-inch
thickness of cement floor with no
other foundation under the furnace,
consequently the ashes from the fur
mace burned into the cement, heated
the layer Of clay underneath down to
the ten foot vein of slack which lay
below. and that in turn set fire to the
next strata which was a vein of hard
Ignite coal eight feet thick.
BY tunneling and with the use of
fire fighting apparatus the blaze was
quenched, but not until the above
stated damage was DONE
