Linton, n. d., Dec. 20.-Miss vi
olet Foglc, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. d. Fogle of this city, has
started an action in district court
to recover diamond ring from Ar.
thur Heinrich, which she alleges was
given to her by the defendant as an
engagement ring and which he forci-
bly, recovered when he broke the
engagement. The plaintiff alleges
that the ring is worth $1,000 and
also demands damage in the amount
of 5000.
According to local authorities
Heinrich invited Miss Fogle, who is
IL years old. to ride home with him.
and then forcbly took the ring and
dashed into bank with it.. Tho
ring is platinum, set with one large
and six small diamonds. 1t is said
their engagement was broken anC

The young lady sought the states
attorney. Heinrich and his father

ABOLITION OF HIGH SCHOOL COURSES
NSTATE NORMAL IS BEING PLANNED
State Board of Administra-
tion Anrounces First Step
in New Effort to This End
Will be Taken in MinOt and
Mayville Normal Schools;
Dickinson Later

Plans for gradual elimination of
high school courses from the normal
schools of the state have been de-
veloped by the state board of admin
istration, it was announced by the
board today. Minot and Mayville
Normal schools will be the first affect
cd, with the plans contemplating the
addition Of Dickinson to the ranks
Of teachers col llegcs" in the future
Il. b. Murphy. board chairman, cx-
planned the action in statement as
follows:
The state board Of admins ira ton
has taken an important step in the
direction Of eliminating high school
courses from the normal school cur
ricuMms in deciding that the state
nOrmals at Minot and Mayvilll
should begin to plan at once for the
elimination Of these courses at their
institutions. The entire elimination
of these courses, it is anticipated, can
be effected by the fall of 1927
This plan will enable these insti-
tutions to strengthen their standard
courses and also to take advantage
of the Legislative enactment of 1921
comforting on normal schools the
right to grant bachelor degrees in
education to students completing
four-year courses.
This plan already is in force at
the Valley City school. where none
but high school graduates are admit
ted.
"Thc decision of the board places
Minot and Mayvillc normals on the
same footing as Valley City as soon
as courses can be adjusted to elimin-
ate high school studies.
''It is not anticipated that an!
addition to the staffs at either insti-
tuition will result from this decision
1t is expected also that Dickinson
normal will begin to look forward to
the gradual elimination Of students
of high school grade by the end of
this biennium. This action of the
board of administration is in line
with the Legislative recommendations
of 1928, urging the elimination of
high school courses from state nor
NAL schools"

London, Dec. 2O.-Great Britain is

SENTENCED TO
"a HOURS EACH
WEEK IN JAIL
Unusual Sentence Is Given
Mrs. Nellie Nickelby in
District Court Today
SENTENCE DELAYE
Amos Casey Is Given Time
To Get Place to Live For
His Family

An unusual sentence was passed
in district court today. when Mrs.
Nellie Nickleby, convicted of violat-
| ing the liquor laws was ordered
to spend "a hours in Jail once a
week for three months, By District
Judge James A. Coffey. &
The sentence imposed by the court
was a 5000 fine, 80 days in Jail and
costs i'm the case. However, the court
held that there was not proper quar-
ters in the Burleigh county Jail for
keeping women. So, he ordered her
to surrender to the sheriff each
Tuesday noon and spend ~ hours in
jail, the action to continue during
the period of 80 days. Previously
The court had refused to set aside
the verdict of the jury, on motion
of her counsel, who alleged the state
had not proven that she was respon-
siblc. instead of her husband, for
conducting the place where beer was
dispensed. and that the states evil
dencc with respect to the beer did
not conform to statute.
A delayed sentence was imposed
in the case of Amos Casey. He was
given 80 days in Jail, fined $500 and
ordered to pay costs. However, it
was said, that the owners of the
place where he lives at 22O Seventh
street south had ordered him to
move by January / because of an
lnjunctional order obtained by the
state licensing department. He was
given until January to find place
for his wife and four children to
live, and then must start out the new
year by entering Jail.
Alma Anderson, living north of
Baldwin, who pleaded guilty ycster-
day afternoon to violating the liquor
laws. was fined $500 and given a
Jail sentence, both of which were
suspended on payment of costs, be-
cause of her physical condition.
In the case of John Hare of Min
neapolis. who was found guilty by a
jury when he was not present, his
name was called in the courtroom,
to appear for sentence, and he failed
to appear. The court declared his
$500 bond. with Isham Hall and C..
b. Rosen, as suretics, forfeited, and
issued u bench warrant for the ar
rest of Hare.
The jury was dismissed late yes
terday by Judge Coffey, because Of
the holidays. There still are many
civil cases to be tried, and it is pos
sible there will be another jury term
in February. Judge Jansonius also
is likely to call jury in March.
