SIXTEEN CASES on DISTRICT
COURT CALENDAR FOR TRIAL

Judge Lowe will hold q term OF
district court In BoWbells commenc-
ing on Monday OF next week, and
four criminal and IL civil cases iap-s
pear on the calendar for trial.
Among the criminal cases which
will ATTRACT considerable aIention
In case they are tried here will be
that OF Lawrence Larsen, who is
charged with embezzling county
funds while he was acting as county
treasurer OF Burke county. Spe-
cial Assistant Attorney General q.
n. Sinkler of Minot is prosecuting
this case for the state, while Judge
II. y. Palda OF Minot will look af-
ter the defense On account Of
the large amount Of publicity given
this case at the time Mr.. Larsen
was arrested it is very likely that
an affidavit Of prejudice will be
filed and a change OF venue asked.
another case Of local interest on
the calendar is that Of f, ]. Dill
worth of this city who is charged
with keeping and maintaining a
public nuisance. It is alleged that
gambling took place in building
rented by Dilw0rth last spring.
Others who played in the same
game entered pleas OF guilty and
were fined In justice court. Mr..
Dilworth waived examination in
justice court, and announced that
he would fight the charge. Mr..
Dilworth plead guilty to charge
OF this kind once before several
years ago and in case he is convict
ed this time the chances are that
his sentence would be more severe
for the second offense. The case
OF Lucy Rouse Of Coteau who is
charged with slancering female
also comes up at tnis term, and
will no doubt prove interesting.
She has employed Attorney p. r..
Sinkler OF Minot to look after her.

MASKED MOB OF
20 ATTACK FARMER

Watford City. N. D.. Oct. 27.
Authorities Of Mckenzie county to-
day began an investigation OF a
story told by Charles Pesheck, pio-
neer rancher- farmer that. he had
been attacked by 20 masked men,
spirited to secluded spot, stripped
Of his clothing and smeared with
tar.
According to Pesheck, he was
taken from the home of H. o. Arne-
gard and brutally treated in an at
tempt to make him confess to al
legged improper relations with a
neighbor's wife, Pesheck told L.
M Burkey, states attorney, that the
mob put a rope around his neck
and pulled him over the top of a car
until he was unconscious.
Pesheck showed numerous bruis-
aes about his face and body and has
ia large black and blue welt around
his neck, indicating that rope came
close to ending his life. He told
the state authorities he can name
some Is persons of the mob, but
the investigation at this time has
not developed any corroborative
testimony and no arrests have been
made.
H, o. Arnegard, the husband, was
away from home at the time, and
the 19-year-old son had been called
to Arnegard by telephone mes
sage. Pesheck told the. states at
torney that he went to the Arnegard
place for some chickens. Mrs. Ar
negard claims that the mask fell
from the face of one Of the members
OF the mob and that she recobnized
him, but it seems that this person
has accounted for his whereabouts
at the time the assault was COM
mitted.

Flaxton Editor Plays
Joke on Vern Gee

We do not believe that the Flax
ton Times would Intentionally In
lure any of it's regular subscribers,
but we have noticed that every once
in while it likes to play a joke on
some of them. In recent issue OF
that newspaper the following item
appeared:
An important incid mt
which passed our attention last
week was the fact that Vern
Gee shot sand hill crane
north Of town week ago Sun
day. Sand hill cranes are a
hard bird to get and anyone
lucky enough to bag one Of
these birds should receive men,
ton. They are good eating
The Flaxton Times editor must
know that the federal game laws
prohibit the killing Of sand hill
cranes at all times OF the year, and
the penalty for violating this law
is a fine not exceeding 500 or 80
days In jail or both. Publishing
an item of this kind is pretty apt
to get Mr.. Gee mixed up with the
game warden, and while the editor
might think it a joke on Gee now,
we'll bet that Gee won't think 1t q
joke when the game warden makes
his next visit to this community.

COURT REFUSES
TOWNLEY's APPEAL

Washington, Oct. 44.--The .su-
preme court today refused peti-
tion OF A. G. Townley and Joseph
Gilbert, as president and manager
respectively Of the National Non
partisan league, for review OF their
conviction before Minnesota courts
on charges growing out of alleged
activities in opposition to the ma
tion's war activities.
The refusal Of the court to con-
slider the case was stated by Chief
Justice Taft who gave no explana-
tion. II 1t was one Of numerous
cases In which the court today re-
fused an appeal.
The ruling OF the supreme court
according to Minnesota officials,
means that Townley and Gilbert
must serve sentence Of 80 days in
the Jackson county (Minnesota)
jail.
Townley and Gilbert were con-
victed in July. 1918. The charge
against them was based on speeches
they made In behalf OF the Nonpar-
tisan league in Jackson and other
Minnesota counties. Their trial
lasted three weeks.
Motions for new trial were de-
MED In July, 1920, by District Judge
e. G. Dean, who heard the case.
The defendants then appealed to
the supreme court, which denied
their appeal. and the case then was
carried to the highest court in the
land.
Yesterdays action by the federal
supreme court will be communicat-
ed by mail to the state supreme
court, which in turn will remand
the case to the jackson county dis
trict court, where commitment pa
Ders will be served for Townley and
Gilbert. This means 1t probably
would be q week or ten days before
the papers could be issued. Town
ley would start service at once un-
der ordinary procedure.

VINE and BEER
GET LEGAL STATUS

Washington, Oct. 25. Beer as d
medicine enjoys full legal status
today, through the unexpected ac-
ton OF the treasury department in
promulg gating. regulations permit
ting its use Tor that purpose.
Issued in accordance with an
opinion submitted by former Attor-
ney General Palmer last March 8,
holding the medicinal use Of beer
to be legal under the prohibition
lays, and after being withheld since

by congress on the pending anti

surprise to prohibition leaders.
In making known the promulga-
tion, Secretary Mellon declared the
department was unable to with
hold the regulations longer in view
OF the plain legal rights of the
parties concerned" J"
Reaction Is Predicted
Predicting an immediate reaction
to the treasury's announcement in
the direction of increased pressure
to effect enactment Of the antibeer
bill, dry advocates in and out Of
congress did not conceal their dis
approval of the departments action.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the antisaloon league, described
it as "less defensive tnan at any
other time," while Senator Wells,
Republican, Ohio, joint author of
the antibeer bill, characterized 1t
as !. an outrage, utterly indefells-
able.''
Rules, covering comprehensively
the use of wine and spirituous Ii
quors, as medicines as well as beer,
fix limit Of 21s gallons, the equiv
alent Of case. on the amount Of
beer that may be prescribed to the
same person at one time, no arbi-
trary limit is placed on the NUM-
Der Of prescriptions one person may
obtain within a given period.
Except that the amount for. q
single prescription is limited to
two quarts, the wine regulations are
the same, while spirituous liquors
are limited to one pint within any
10 dav period.

CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS.
Over Sale OF Tickets and Good
PrOgram-GuarantOrs Sign
For Next Year.

With the checking up of tickets
before the opening of Chautauqua
on Friday last it. was found the sale
by guarantors had gone over the toy
and success was assured. This over
sale of tickets was brought about by
good work of the various teams,
that composed of lady guarantors
carrying off the honors, their team
having by far disposed of the largest
number of tickets.
The program, from the opening
number on Friday afternoon to the
closing one on Wednesday night,
was good one and the Junior
Chautauquans did themselves proud
with their part of the entertainment
Wednesday afternoon.
Wilbar Jones Kay, the Superin-
tendent, proved the right man in the
right place. His series lectures
were a popular feature, and in addi-
tion he won many warm friends by
his genial personality, as did the
other members of the "Chautauqua
crew" stationed here.
Saturday nights concert and leo
ture were given under great difficult
ties, heavy electrical storm raging
and putting the electric lights out Of
commission, the tent being in dark
ness throughout the evening, save
for the feeble light of two lanterns.
On Monday the disastrous fire that
ragged in the morning was a disturb
ing factor that detracted from the
afternoon entertainment, but the at
tendance was Narge in the evening.
1t was announced on Wednesday
that fourty-four guarantors had
signed the contract and that Chau-
tauqua would be in Rising Sun
again next year.
