SUITS ARE FILED

IN DISTRICT COURT
Two new civil suits were filed and
one dismissed in the district court
last Friday. w. H. Rider, admins
traitor OF the estate of c. H. Rider
suing John B. Payne as director gen
eral of railroad and Oscar Moberg
engineer on the Northern Pacific,
John ID. Reese filing a notice of con-
test of will and Charles Van Tassel
withdrawing his suit against the
Northern Pacific.
w. H. Rider is suing the railroad
for damages growing out of the death
of his father on March 20, 1918. c..
H. Rider was driving across the rail-
road track near Willow Creek when
his team was struck by an engine.
Mr.. Rider and one horse were killed
and the wagon was demolished. The
first suit in this case was tried last
April in the district court and the
verdict given by the jury was for
$4,250 against the road. MIR. Rider
had asked $4,000. In the recent ac-
ton the administrator again asks for
$4,000 and adds an additional $500
for the death of the horse and the de-
molishing of the wagon.
John D. Reese filed contest of the
will of his father, the late John J.
Reese. The will that is being con-
tested names Emma ]. Esgar exc
cutriX whereas the contestant claims
that later will names him as exc
cutor. The first viii provides the
leasing of the farm to one named by
the testator whereas the second makes
no such provision. No difference is
made in the beneficiearies.
At the request of the council for
the plaintiff the suit of Charles Van
Tassel against the Northern Pacific
and J. J. Collins, local agent, was
dismissed.

 Mrs. Egleston said she was play ing Baltimore six years ago and that devoted admirer appeared each night in the front TOW. Fin ally he secured an introduction. She found he was George Egleston, a wcll-to-do broker of Washington, D. C.. and he begged her to become his wife. She did not take his attentions seriously, but other mem oers of the "Winning Widow show in which she was appearing, urged her to accept him.
 "They dared me 10 do it." she told the court and I never take a dare. I tried to be good sport, but hs had no attractions for me.

AND HOW DEAR OLE PAREE DOES
 LOVE ITS GOSSIP

Paris. July 1.-The complaint that her former husband has wrong
 fully appropriated many valuable works Of art and designed for his own uFas, 3,560,000 francs of her
 money has been lodged in a French
 court by Mme. De Crammont, the divorced wife of the Duke of Cler- mont -TOnnerre. At the end of
 brilliant season this news has pro- vided cause for endless speculations and gossip.
 The families concerned belong to the very oldest and most historic
 nobility of France and rarely, if eyer, has so great scandal been allowed to be dragged into the eOnrts. The French method has been always for family councils and friends to smooth over difficulties
 and make just settlements, and so7
 ciety has been terribly shocked by the American methods of the former duchess in seeking to recover
 what she claims as her own money by vulgar processes Of law.

CRIPPLE AND WOMAN LED
 FORREST TO WHIP STURGIS

Blue Mountain, Miss.--While not generally known, it is given on ap- parently good authority that the splendid victory of Gen. N. F. For rest over Gen. Stnrgis at the battle of Bryce's Cross Roads, several miles east of this place. in 1864, was largely due to the cleyerness and courage of crippled Confederate soldier. aided by patriotic Missis- sippi woman of the community.
 According to this new story. Gen. Forrest told the crippled officer that he could defeat Sturgis in go minutes if he could only get his army over a stream in the battle area. Like flash the crippled soldier set out to find the crossing of the stream, achieving his purpose only after assuring the brave woman of the community that he was not a Yankee invader trying to get vital information from her. using as his argument that no Yankee would fight on crutches while devastating his enemys country. The woman led the cripple to a safe ford inst at hand. The Confederates went over in safety and with celerity Gen. Sturgis and his army, three times ths size of that of Cen. For
