TUTTLECASE
IS AFFIRMED
No Partnership Existed With
L. C. PettibOne, Court
Finds

The supreme court affirmed the
Burleigh district court in declining
to grant the petition of L. C. Petit
bone of Dawson for dissolution of
an alleged partnership with w. P.
Tuttle, former wealthy Chicago
grain man and resident of North
Dakota for several years, in which
Pettibone claimed profits amount
ing to several thousands of dollars
in North Dakota land deals.
Judge Nuessle, in district court,
held that the evidence showed an
understanding but not sufficient to
make it partnership in law, this
view being affirmed in the supreme
court. The opinion was written by
District Judge Kneeshaw, sitting in
the stead of Judge Nuessle.
Mr.. Pettibone declared that about
1911 partnership was agreed to
whereby he was to purchase several
thousand acres of land for Tuttle,
that land was purchased in Kidder
county and in Billings county, that
they were to divide the profits Of
increased price Of the land and that
it is now worth $25 an acre.

TURKS GREEKS
PLEDGEPEACE
AT LAUSANNE
Ismet Pasha, Turkish DiplO-
mat, Wins Notable Victory
in Negotiations
NIGER WE'D

Lausanne, July 9.--Tismet Pasha
has proved himself great diplomat,
for by the near eastern peace which
was arranged in principle between
the. allied and Turkish representa-
tives today he achieved signal vic
tory for his country. He never re-
inquished his grasp on the delicate
situation that often confronted the
conference. He was better than the
brilliant Marquis Curzon in the first
steps in the negotiations and kept
all the skilled diplomats guessing
from the start. He smiled always,
but seldom if ever did he yield. The
Angora government still must be
consulted on several points concern
ing allied concessions in Turkey but
everybody at Lausanne believes that
peace surely will be signed within
10 days.
The great result Of the Lausanne
peace as seen by the diplomats here
as one of the most serious
dangers TO the happiness of the con-
tinent, has been removed by the
liquidation of the state of war in
the Near East and by the agreement
of Turkey and Greece to lay down
their arms at last.
Europe troops will evacuate Tur-
kish soil and Turkey with her new
type of government will be free to
fashion her destines unfettered.
