YATES WINS IN COURTHOUSE BUILDING SUIT Wins Point Over Selfridge in Bitter County Seat Fight of Sioux County DECIDE DUNN CO. CASE Court Holds that Chas. J. Heen of Dunn Center ‘Was Not an Embezzler ——_— An appeal by several taxpayers to: prevent the erection of a jail, reco vault and a building intended to for Sioux county at Ft. Yates was dismissed in a decision handed down by the supreme court today. The action was instituted as a part of|the county seat fight in Sioux county, wherein Selfridge seeks to take the county seat away; from Ft. Yates. The case was before the. supreme, ‘court on appeal from District Judge Pugh, who is affirmed. The case was brought by L. P. Lorentzen on behalf of himself and others against the county commissioners of Sioux county, the auditor and treasurer. The commissioners had created a) nd and entered into a contract for. the expenditure of $6,878 for the construction of the building to serve as a courthouse at Ft. Yates, the quarters previously used being held unsatisfactory. Several motions were heard before Judges Pugh and Lemb- ke and a trial was held at Ft. Yates August 28, 1921. Judge Pugh made} an order for judgment dismissing the restraining action against the com- missioners. The work on the new building con- tinued and it is now said to be about complete. Judge Grace, writing the opinion, said that since the work was pre- sumably completed the question be- fore the court was a moot question. “It is very clear in this case that the plaintiff has been. dilatory in taking and perfecting his appeal,” said Judge Grace. “Laches, in a pub- lie matter of this character, is rare- ly ever justifiable, and is seldom viewed with leniency. As we view the matter, so far as this injunctions! proceeding is concerned the ques- tions presented. or intended to be presented through. it have become moot, that is, thé’ situation has be- come such that any relief intended to be procured by permanent injunc-| tion is not’ now. available for the) reasons we have above given.

It was esti-, mated by the company that the greater amount of building activity would ‘be in the northwest and the) northeast sections of the city. The forecast which was based on; average conditions during the past} 30 years showed business on an in-| cline this year,'and steadily improv- ing through 1923 and 1924, the peak! reached in 1924 and a gradual decline; begun in 1925 and continuing until! the end of that yedr when normalcy | would be established. \ In 1926 it was estimated that. conditions would fall a little below normal until the lat- ter part of the year when they would become steady unless some unfor- seen condition should cause a fiuc- tuation. How It Is Figured “Telephone requirements are based entirely on the number of stations, or telephones, which will be added during the next five years. This es- timate and forecast is dependent on many conditions‘and probably the most important of these is the fore- cast of general business conditions. “Every business is dependent more or less on other businesses and the telephone business is probably more dependent on general business condi-} tions than any other one business. This means that in order to forecast the development of the telephone business in Bismarck, it was abso-| lutely essential to forecast what the general. business conditions would | ‘be. If general business conditions jand at Wishek, S. W.

I DISCUSS STRIKE St. Paul, July 7.—First negotia- tions looking towatd a settlement of the strike of railway shopmen began here late yesterday at a conference between union men and officials of the Northern Pacific railway. No concrete proposals were ad- vanced at the conference, which was: held in the offices of J. M. Rapelje, general manager of the Northern Pacific. Railroad officials sought to learn: whether the various locals of the union here can effect a settlement without reference to action of unions on railroads elsewhere. Union leaders, headed by R. A. Henning, general chairman of the Northwest district, declared that) such action would be unusual, and probably prejudicial to union inter- ests in the national fight, but did not decline to give full consideration to the suggestions. * BURR APPEARS TO BE VICTOR Complete Unofficial Returns Give Him 101 Lead District Judge A. G. Burr of Rug- y was nominated as the sixth can- didate for the supreme court on the basis of unofficial returns today when the vote in Sioux county for Burr was received and opening of the official ballots made it possible to complete the Burleigh county vote on the two candidates. Judge Burr had a lead of 101 votes. The vote stood: Burr 38,760; Stuts- man 38,659. Sioux county reported 89 votes for Burr yesterday and the missing pre- cincts in Burleigh county gave Burr 76 to 133 for Stutsman. It is possible that official figures may alter the standing of these twa candidates. The official canvass in’ Dickey re- veals that they nominated both In- dependent candidates for legislature instead of one as previously reportea by the unofficial count.

Doubt was expressed by Mr. Roberts that any frost was occa- sioned in the vicinity of Bis- marck. He said that he was up at 4 a, m. and at 5 a, m. and saw no traces of frost.

BLUE SKY LAW OF MINNESOTA HIT BY COURT Held to Virtually Nullify It STATUTE PENAL ONE Supreme Court Says It Can- not Include Cases Omitted by Legislature (By the Associated Press) , St. Paul, July 7.—Minnesota’s blue sky law was virtually nullified by a decision’ handed down by the state supreme court today holding that the state blue sky law does not pro- hibit a person who is the absolute owner of stock issues by a company which does not engage in the busi- ness within the state of selling its stock or security, from selling such stock. The court’s decision was made in the case of Walter J. Gutterson of New York, against members of the State Securities Commission who sought to prevent him from dispos- ing in Minnesota of 30,000 shares of ‘Stock of the New England Cereal Company. The securities commission ' held that the “blue sky” law prohibited Gutterson from selling the stock without the approval of the commis- sion and that he must’ defray the cost of investigating the affairs of the cereal company before such ap- proval could be given. ,Gutterson brought action in the’ Hennepin county district court to enjoin the (Continued on Page 3) MARKING TRAIL FROM COAS 4 Plan. to Extend Red Trail to New York in 1923 The National Parks Highway (Red Trail) is being marked anew frow the Pacific Slope to Chicago by C.

PEACE HELD NEAR (By the Associated Press) London, July: 7.—The provisonal Irish Free State government by its substantial victory over the insurg- ent Republican forces in Dublin: is believed to have taken a Tong step toward establishing itself firmly and bringing peace to Ireland. The ready response to the nation- al call.to arms is regarded as en- couraging and as other prof that most Irishmen are back of the new government and opposed to the Re- publican extremists. Indications are not lacking, how- ever, that Michael Collins ‘and his colleagues will need all the support they can get to put down the re- maining resistence which, according to reports; from some correspondents in Dublin, is of importance here. These writers say the strength of the dissentionists in the South and Southeast is greater than has been supposed and declare the task of downing this opposition is likely to be slow and costly. In Cork county and parts of the adjacent territory, Republicans are reported to have the field to themselves and to be engag- ed in claborate preparations to resist any attempt against them by the Free State forces. It is predicted that the provisional government will need to enroll sol- diers to the full strength allowed un- der the Anglo-Irish treaty and will then have none to many for the job of rounding up the guerrilla bands acting under orders of the Republi- can headquarters. The arrival in Cork harbor last night of a small squadron of British warships lends additional color to these reports, as it is believed the vessels were sent in anticipation of serious trouble in that district and possible attacks on the British naval station there, Republican headquarters at Mal- low is issuing daily bulletins claim- ing the irregulars are holding large areas and making rapid progress in several drections but there are no means of sifting these or other re- ports from the South and Southeast, owing to the difficulties of communi- cation. This applies also to reports from practically all the provincial areas. The public is still kept guessing as to the whereabouts of Eamon De Valera.
