The case may soon be heard in the Burleigh district court.

D., at 3:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon and that the river was filled with floating ice from there on south. The ice broke at Bismarck Sunday aftefnoon, moved two miles and stopped, the bureau reported. This gorge below the new vehicular bridge caused the river to rise two feet but it has since fallen-a ‘foot and a half, leaving the stage at 9.5 feet. The river is open at Ft. Clark, near Washburn, and the ice is expected to break at Ft. Yates today. Indications are that there will be no great flooding of lowlands, because the river is opening up to. the south first and because of the breaking of the first gorge just below the city. Several hundred people went to the river yesterday afternoon expecting to see a big break-up in the ice. At 1:30 in the afternoon there was a boom, as the ice broke between the ridges. The ice moved for about 20 jminutes and then stopped, the gorge having formed. Later it moved for a| * COURT TERITTO considerable distance.
