Supreme Court
Decisions
From Cass County.


Rose E. Livingston, plaintiff and
appellant, VS.. Daniel B. Holt, as adj
ministrator Of the estate OF James H.
Grady, deceased, defendant and re-
spondent.
Syllabus: Where one presented a
claim against the estate of a deceased
person through the administrator of
such estate, and the administrator
refused payment thereof, and suit was
brought by the claimant against the
administrator, and the administrator
answered but did not plead payment;
Notwithstanding such failure to plead
payment 1t is proper to show by COM
petent testimony that the plaintiff has
received money from other sources
which reduced, or showed payment of,
the claim filed with the administrators,
and upon which suit was brought. All
such evidence was competent to show
that the plaintiff had no claim against
the estate.
Appeal from the judgment Of the
district court of Cass county; Hon.
A. T. Cole, judge.
Affirmed.
Opinion of the court by Grace, J..
Robinson. J., concurring.

the game we met some girl friends
and Lieutenant Benedict, and brought
them home with us-six boys and
five girls. We had a fine time; play
ed piano and sang, and wound up
at movie to see Mary Pickford in
the Little Princess. Don says that
was our first trial as chaperons;
fine ones we were, tool
THE Fargo college bunch at the
game yesterday gave one yell for old
Fargo college, and made more noise
than the whole Drake outfit. If
Drake hadn't a football team. they
have something better-a service
flag with S0s stars on it. That is
the best record in the country for
their size, so they take their defeat
in football gracefully.
"All our spare time we spend help
ing to make our B. Y. p. u. banquet,

know who the workers are, and give
them plenty OF work. I'll be glad If
Don can get a short vacation, for his
work as assistant adjutant in the
headquarters of the 352nd infantry
keeps him pretty busy, and living In
town as we do, and having eleven
miles to go to his work in the morn
ing and back at night, makes long
days for him.
Miss Carey. formerly your matron
at the Children's home, called us up
yesterday, from the Salvation Army

head nurses.
Best regards to our friends at

deal Of history. Their physical well

Is all important. There must be no
repetition OF this country's experience
Of the Spanish American war. 1t was
stated today that the failure of the
trained nurses in North Dakota to
come forward and tender their serV-
ices is undoubtedly due to the fact
that they have not understood the
| situation. Out OF 300 but thirty have
taken up army work.
With the view of getting the nurses
interested and OF inducing them to
register for this work promptly, the
North Dakota branch OF the Ameri-
can Red Cross has effected a reor-
ganization.
Four Districts Created.
The state has been divided into
four districts, the northern division,
which will be in charge of Miss Mae
McCulloch Of Grand Forks; the
southeastern district, in charge OF
Miss Gudrin Bendhalt of Fargo; the
northwestern district, in charge of
Miss Agott Lien Of Minot, and the
southwestern district, in charge of
Miss Louise Herman Of Bismarck.
All Red Cross organizations in the
state, and auxiliaries are desired to
cooperate with these ladies in the
work, getting all qualified nurses in
terested and registered for service in
the various environments in this
country
The men of our country are Of
fering their lives and their fortunes
for the preservation OF true liberty"
said the director Of the North Dakota
American Red Cross headquarters.
Our especially trained women, who
alone are qualified for this all i'm
portant work, would indeed be recre-
ant II they failed to respond to this
call OF duty. We must not say or
think that there will be enough to
do this work without US. Too many |
look at the matter in this way, with |
the result that there Is a very grave |
danger of serious handicap and ir- |
reparable damage to the efficiency Of |
our fighting forces. II our nurses can |
only be made to understand the needs |
Of the government. the officers of |
the nursing service feel that there |
would be a ready and gratifying re- |
Spouse to this call. We cannot afford |
to be called 'slackers.'"
Expect Many Responses.
The state headquarters for the |
American Red Cross anticipates |
many responses to the appeals to be |
made by the district chairmen. There |
will be little or no expense for equip
ment for this service and the pay
will be substantially that now receiv-
ed in private practice. The need for
nurses in the cantonment hospitals in
this country is said by the Washing
ton authorities to be most urgent.
Il don't believe that the nurses as
a whole throughout the land and the
state realize this" said the Red Cross
for the state. Every nurse
should feel 1t a privilege to enlist
in the service OF the army and /
hope and trust that she
will"
