There are two preaching services
at the church every Sunday-11 a. m.

Our local mixers made another try
to beat the worlds record last Friday
night. They chose a stormy night,
however, and put in about four or
five hours of laborious work on the
ties, rails and cinders of the 500 track

big as their fists as they hung down

MILL CROSSING VERDICT WAS
AFFIRMED.

Comfortable local interest was man
fest little over year ago at the
trial of the case of Harold Edwards
pany, in which Mr.. Edwards sued for
damages sustained in the late fall Of
1916, at the railway crossing by the
Minot Flour mill.
The plaintiff, taxi driver, was run
down by a switch engine shortly after
twelve o'clock on dark, stormy night,
and was so severely injured that he
remained unconscious in local hospi-
tai for sixteen days, and the claim set
up was that he sutained permanent in
juries.
At the trial the case was prosecuted
by Atty. F. B. Lambert of Minot,
while the interests of the railway
company were looked after by Murphy
& Toner, of Grand Forks, and Brad
for & Nash, Of this city.
A verdict was returned against the
defendant for eight thousand dollars
and the case was appealed.
The appellant court has just passed
upon the matter in which the judg-
ment of the lower court is sustained.
Justice Grace writes the opinion of
the court affirming the judgment or
dered by Judge Leighton on the jury's
verdict, and three of the other Judges
concur. Justice Robinson disagreed
with his associates, but did not file a
dissenting opinion.
The syllabus preferred by the court
is as follows:

RECORD SALES ON MARKET.

New York, Nov. 12-On the largest volume of transactions this year and tho highest money rate in twelve years, the stock market today took further heed of the warnings issued rom high financial quarters and con- linued it's process of liquidation.
 In the course of this operation. the most drastic on the whole since Wall Street entered upon a postwar basis, stocks of the more speculative or mer- curial variety experienced additional losses of 10 to z5 points.
 General Motors was again in class by itself, making perpendicular de- scent of 6S 1-2 points to 2S0 the latter quotation representing a loss of 126 l-2 points from it's maximum of the preceding week.
 A few stocks. notably U. $. Steel, in vestment rails and metals, were i'm mune from the general attrition of values in other divisions of the active list. their losses being comparatively slight.
 Call loans opened at the familiar rate of l4 per cent. holding at that quotation until the third hour of the session when 20 per cent. was de- handed. In the last half hour 30 per cent. was paid. the closing being hFA NCHl- uuuGI ludl tlS
