About two weeks ago Mr.. Wana-
makers condition became such as to
cause, anxiety. A week ago, however.
he showed such marked improvement,
that his physicians ceased issuing
bulletins. At o'clock this morning
Mr. Wanemaker was seized with a
violent coughing spell. his physicians
stated. which resulted in extreme
heart weakness. Major Barclay il.
Warburton, Mr.. Wanamaker's son-in

Wanamaker died peacefully at 8 a. m.

Pioneer Price Fixer.
John wanarnaker led in the crea-
tion of the department store as an In
stitution in American life. At the out
break Of the Civil war in 1861 when
he began business for himself in a
humble way in Philadelphia, retail
merchandising in this country was in
a disorganized state. and, in the
opinion Of the far-sighted young mer-
chant. it was suffering rapid decline
through practices that were then gem
eral. Aside from his ambition to make
money my paramount purpose. said
Mr.. Wanamaker, "was to help save

Business then demanded q thirteen

impressed with this waste of time and
to eliminate it he became pioneer

mercantile reforms which today are so
generally followed that the present
generation can scarcely find anywhere
q trace of the old practices. =
Born in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Wanamaker was "a years old

court here by Iver Aacker, as states
attorney for Traill county. ~
Some months ago Trail. county Of
f1cials discovered that a patient who
county, about Fl years ago. was
Grand Forks county man. Trail
county then made formal demand on
the Grand Forks county commission
ers for approximately $4,000, claimed
to have been paid out for the care OF
this patient.
At the time this demand was made
States Attorney Theodore B. Elton
advised the Grand Forks county
board to make payment of sl,727.
which wohld cover payment for the
care of the patient during the six
years Immediately previous. Mr..
Elton contended that the statute Of
limitations would prevent Trail
county. from recovering any funds for
the, 16 years preceding the last, six.
Acting on Mr.. Eltons Instructions,
the Grand Forks county board made
payment of $1,727.40 to Traill county
to cover care Of the patient for six
years. This payment was refused by
Trail county, on the grounds that In
asmuch as the patient was Grand
Forks county resident, and was now
recognized as such, this county should
assume the responsibility for the en-
tire period that he had been in the
state asylum. Traill county now files
suit to recover the entire amount,
which is specified in the complaint as
$3,076.13 %
Had Killed Man.
Il The case has an interesting history.
The patient over whom the con-
troversy has arisen is John Knutson,
who in 1901 shot and killed man
in Traill county. He was = then a
resident OF 4 Grand Forks county.
Knutson was adjudged insane by the
Insanity hoard OF Traill county and
was sentenced to the state hospital
at Jamestown. Last February It was
discovered that Knutson had been q
resident of this county at the. time
he committed the crime, and was sent
TO the asylum. The complaint filed
here states that Knutson was "mis-
takenly committed as a resident of
Trail county" @s a stn'.s 2. 7.
