SIM0NS CASE AGAIN

Original summary Process writ
 Against Hotel Proprietors Was Not
 in Conformity With Statute.
 An interesting mixup in the sum- mary process suit brought several weeks ago by Isader Simons ct al, against the proprietors of the Hotel Grand on Myrtle street, became known today when a new writ which is made returnable to the city court on December g, was brought against the same defendants. The summary pro- cess as originally brought, was through Lawyer William c. Hungerford and the complaint was made to Lawyer A. w. Upson as justice of peace but did not contain the names of the plaintiffs as specified in the statute. It also develops that Lawyer A. w. Up- son is not a justice of the peace and in consequence the original writ was withdrawn and a new one containing the name of MT. Simons was drawn and the complaint was made to Law per Arthur w. Upson as a commis- sioner of tho superior court.
 The defendants in the action have secured the services of Judge George w. Klett to represent them and the writ has been made returnable in the city court on December g. When the case comes to trial the counsel for the defendants promises there will be some interesting questions raised dur ing the session. Since the building was erected and a hotel conducted, there have been many changes in the

VERBAL BARRAGE SENT
 OVER BY D'ANNUNzI0
No Other Fighting Marks First Day of ''War"-
 Food For Plume.

Trieste, Dec. 3, (By Associated Press) "A state of war between the kingdom of Italy and the regency of Quarnero" at Plume began at mid night, but up to few minutes be- fore that time there was no visible evidence that actual hostilities inn pended. The blockade of Plume was continuing and the only indications of trouble were the fierce pronounce ments of Captain Gabrielle d'Annun- zio against Gen. Caviglia and the reg ular Italian troops which were sur rounding the city.
 Communication between Plume and the Islands of Arde and veglia was cut by an Italian patrol in the Gulf of Quarnero, and supplies cannot be taken to them from the city. Thus the poet-so1diers' occupational forces there appear to be isolated.
 Emissarie of d'Annunzio are going to and fro explaining his point of view but shortly before midnight there were no extraordinary signs that the threat of war would take a more concrete form.
 Plume seemed tranquil yesterday with the exception of unimportant raids by submarine chasers. There was not the slightest movement of the population, which was maintaining an indifferent attitude toward the legion aires who were engrossed in the work of defense"
 A members of d'AnnunZio's staff told the Associated Press yesterday that d'Annunzio wished recognition of his services in occupying Plume from parliament and that he would become conciliatory in that event.

DAMAGING SIGNS ON !
DEP0TS STILL INTACT:
BEMIDN INDIGNANT
City Spends Thousands in
Water Improvement, But
"Warnings" Stick

Much indignation is being express
ed in Bemidji concerning the state
board Of health in giving not the
slightest attention to those damaging
signs posted in depots Of Bemidji,
warning passengers on trains to "be-
ware" Of using the water from the
Bemidji water supply wells, owing to
danger OF infection or some other
dire calamity Detailing them.
The signs were posted during war
times and when the Bemidji water
supply was low, and water was drawn
from lakes to meet emergent oc-
casions. The city decided that i'm
provement would require expenditure
of several thousand dollars and the
necessary funds were secured, with
the result Of securing more than
ample supply Of pure artesian water.
Still no attention is paid to those
damnable signs that adorn the depot
walls.
City Attorney Hal Huffman con-
templates going down to St. Paul on
O. business trip this week and he will
call upon the state board Of health
with request that the obnoxious
warning signs be removed, which are
having a damaging effect on the repu-
tatiOn of this city and community.
