Early in‘ the war Great Britain cut two German cables from Emden to America by way of the Azores and also the cable be- tween Monrovia, the Liberian capital, and Brazil. They took one end of the German-American cable thru Halifax, thereby securing another trans-Atlan- tic line for themselves, and gave the French government the other cable.

Casserly, deceased: You are hereby notified that the pe- ;tition of F. H. Register, administrat- or of the estate of Joseph E. Casserly, late of the borough of Brooklyn in the {county of Kings and state of New York, deceased, has been filed in this court, therein petitioning that he {be authorized, empowered and direct- ed to sell real estate belonging to said decedent's estate, described as fol- lows, to-wit:' The West half (W 1-2) of section Nine (9) in Township 188 North of Range 75 West of the 5th Principal Meridian situated in the county of Burleigh, state of North Dakota. That said petition will be heard by ‘ this, court on Wednesday, the 23rd day! of April, A. D. 1919 at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of that day, at the court rooms of this court, in the court house, in the city of Bismarck, coun- hty of Burleign and state of North Da- kota. \ "ana you and each of you are here- | by cited and required then and there | to be and appear before this court. and | iFirst and Second Regiment Mu- domsin to a width of public highway and that the high- y in question became established on the 26th day of July, 1 and that any person thereafter rec ent from the government took the land subject to the easemeni for highways; so created. The defendant contends that the es- tablishment in June, 1904. sutute such a public use of the lands as to exempt it from the provisions of the highway act, and that, when the plaintiff filed upon this tract as al homestead in 1905 and received. his patent in 1908, he took this lad sub- ject to the highway easement. already mentioned. The township alleges that it did: not refuse to pay for consequent damages to Faxon’s,Jand, but thatic el is benefits and damages as equal a.d offset one against the other. Big Question Invoived, In conclusion, -the 4.rief, filed with the supreme couft of the United States by Judge Burke, C..L. Young ot Bismarck and T, H. Burke of Har din, altorneys. for the defendant, says: ‘ “In spite of appellant's: highly ‘in- genious argument, we maintain that Faxon occupies no different position than any of ils neighbors, , nor,_in- deed, of any other landowner of this state. True, he settled upon what was once an Indian. reservation. but mil- lions of acres of North Dakota; have been so included at some time. Also he chose land for a homestead whia straddles the section line, but he did that to get near the village of Lallie, and besides damages are not to be considered in this lawsuit. His dam- age, then, is also tie damage of every man who owns land mjoining a sec- tion line. If Faxton Was this suit, every landowner in the state may sue his township and recover. There are about 342 section lines runing north ‘and: south, each about 210 miles in length, and the east and west lines to- tal the same. We have, then, 143,640 miles of section lines in the state. Mr. Faxon asks $750 for five-eighths of a mile—at which rate the liability of the several townships of the. state reaches the sum of 3$172,368,000, and Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and some twenty other states are in the same position, because most of their lands have been patented since 1866. The liability of all these townships will be over a billion dollars, to say nothing of the costs, attorneys’ fees and hard feelings between neighbors.” TWO BIG BANDS IN FARGO TODAY sicians Expected in Gate City This Evening Fargo, N, D., March .12.—Members of the First-and Second North Dakota regimental bands, now of the 116th Engineers and the 164th Infantry, are expected to arrive in Fargo at 6:30 o'clock this afterngon, according to W.

With little or no knowledge of the game of golf, Alexander made his as- sertion, which was taken up immedi- ately by the others. Alexander was forced to make good his boast. Jt was a case of proving two things. Alexander, ..became: a. golfer, He joined ‘the Rumsen Country club and proceeded to play golf with the same avidity that characterizes his tennis play. By the end of the year Freddy Alexander had not only broken the course record but had won ‘the club championship against a first-class field. He repeated his victories two years in succession, Then he quit golf and re- turned to his old love, tennis. “You can have your old golf game,” said Alexander to his associates, “I just, wanted to show you that any falr- ly good athlete could play golf and play it well.” Alexander proved himself not only a good golfer, but a good athlete.
