CUTOFF suit
DISMISSED IN
FORMAL ACTION
Case Dropped on Stipulation
Between kelsh and
Shafer

A temporary injunction restrain
ing the state highway commission
from grading the St. Anthony cut
off. "A county road leading onto Mem
orial highway west of the Missouri
] river, was today dismissed on stipu-
lation reached between Attorney
General George Shafrr, represent
ing the highway body. and G.. f.
| kelsh, district attorney of Morton
county.
The stipulation takes into account
recent decision Of the highway
commission by which that body
agreed not to contest the injunction,
| issued an action brought against the
road body in Morton county court.
The stipulation. signed today, is
as, follows, in part:
"Wheteas an order has been is
sued requiring the defendant to
show cause why an injunction should
not he issued during the tendency
Of this action, and
"Whereas the defendant. acting as
the state highway commission, has
officially determined to in all things
abandon plans to lay out and i'm
prove the proposed highway in ques-
tion and has agreed to inform and
advise the plaintiff in case of de-
termining in the future to take fur
ther steps in the laying out, estab-
lishment and improvement of said
highway,
"Now, therefore, be it hereby stip-
ulated that the above entitled action
be and the same is hereby dismissed
without further cost to either party"
Friends of the St. Anthony road
claims the highway commission has
entered into a contract to gravel the
thoroughfare, and that the work
will proceed despite the dismissal of
the injunction proceedings.
They assert today's developments
will not halt improvement of the
cutoff artery.
The cutoff action originated when
District Attorney Kelsh sought an
injunction to prevent Improvement
Of the St. Anthonv road. Mr.. Kelsh
asked the injunction on the follow
ing grounds:
/. The st. Anthony cutoff is not
state thoroughfare and it requires
the sanction Of Morton county to
legalize laying out the road.
2. Morton county should not be
taxed for an Improvement which it
has not authorized.
Improvement of the cutoff has been
agitated by Bismarck business men
for upwards of year. The road is
at present impossible.
Local merchants claim graveling Of
the cutoff road would create a short
er route to Bismarck for farmers
living on the west bank of the Miss
ouri river in the vicinity of St. |
Anthony.

OPPOSITE VIEWS
IN DEATH CASE,

Mattoon. Ill.,. Aug. 6.-R-Only
theories have resulted from almost
a weeks investigation Of the death
of Miss Cora Stallman, 4S year old
former Cincinnati teacher, whose
body was found in a. cistern on her
sisters farm near here Sunday.
States Attorney Fletcher holds a
suicide theory. He believes she
threw herself in the cistern after
taking poison. Coroner thinks she
was dead before the body was placed
in the cistern.
Authorship Of cryptic and threat
ening letters found with the body is
attributed by Fletcher to Miss Stall
man and by Schilling to someone
else. Physicians who examined the
body found no water in the lungs
and no poison traces, they said. The
vital organs have not undergone
chemical analysis. If a jury decides
that the woman came to death in an
unknown manner the viscera will
be sent to the University Of Illinois
Tor tests.
