LACK OF RAILROADS CAUSE MeKenszie County Forced to Depend Entirely on River for Transporta- tion Faellities—Transforma- tion of Range. SCHAFER, N. D., Jan. 8.—(Special.)—If the efforts of several prominent grain men of .western North Dakota meet with success one or more steamboats owned and operated by farmers will be in service on the upper Missouri next season for the ac- comniodation of the ‘people who live on “the island,” as McKenzie county, North Dakota, is often called, . By a pecullar distribution of highland and lowland in the land formation of this section of the Dakotas McKenzle county, with an area nearly as large as that of the state of Connectlcut, is completely en- circled by rivers, If we except thirty-six miles of western border. A great bend of the Missouri forms the eastern and northern boundary of the county, the Yellowstone swirls past it on | the west and the Little Missouri crosses it on the extreme south. Between the point where the Yellowstone empties into the parent stream and the plage where the Little Missouri joins it the big river bor- It is safe to say that no other equal gection of the Missouri has been used to as has this hundred miles. There Is not a rod of rallroad within the county. It ls cut off from communication with bordor- | ing territory on the west by the treacher- ous Yellowstone and on the south by ‘he shallow Little Missouri and its environ- ment of “bad lands.” So it happens that the. big Missour! as it flows along the astern and northern borders of McKenrie county forms the only possible means of communication that the county people [ have with the outside world. First Settlers Five Years Ago. Five years ago the first settlers came in | and began to till the soil. Previous to that, ‘;’lt‘,l‘l' head of cattle and horses had been ranged here. The last year 50,000 acres have been cultivated and a bumper crop of 2,- 000,000 bushels of grain raised. A population of 7,000 is now scattered about on isolated } homeste ds or in tiny hamiets around the postoffices.

BEarly in the fall, when they found themselves face to face with the problem of hauling 40,000 wagon loads of grain from thirty to sixty miles over prairie trails, and their sub- sequent transportation over the river, they organized a stock company known as the McKenzie County Shippers' assoclation, in the hope of relieving ‘the situation. The organization attempted to co-operata with some steathboat company and thereby se- cure several boats to carry the grain down the river to Bismarck, Sioux City and other points. Despite a considerable expenditure of time and money, the members, in the end, were successful In getting but one boat, the Fort St. Plerre. This made regu- lar trips to Williston until the river closed. The remainder of the 40,00 loads was left for the ferries to manage. Sp great was the congestion just before the river bridged, that on a certaln day the farmers waited in line at Rom's Ferry from nine to twelve hours for their turn to cross. The prospects are excellent for a large increase in population within the county this year and the tillage of a much larger acreage. If this proves to be the case, and the railroad still passes the county by, it is belfeved by some that the farmers of the county will be practically forced to either secure the ald of a steamboat ccmpany or operate one or more boats at their own expense, not only for the trans portation of crops next fall, but also for bringing in supplies during the summer. Wife Freed from Insane Husband Mrs. Elsie English Secures Annul- ment of Marital Contract with “Wild-Eyed” Man. The marital bonds of Elsie English and John Bdward English were annulled in distriet court by Judge Troup, following a | | showing that English was Insane when he was married. A sult for annullment on this ground Is a most unusual proceeding in any state. Mrs. English testified that she did not know that her husband was abnormal mentally when she married him. She de- clared that she had noticed that he had ‘a wild staring look In his eyes,” and there was offered In evidence & photograph of English taken just before the wedding. his picture, mounted in a gold frame, re- posed on the judicial bar in front of Judge Troup throughout the hearing English 1s now in the asylum for the incurables at Hastings. He was once In the hospital at Lincoln and escaping was re- captured sometime later. Following the testimony nesses about English's queer behavior, a hypothetical question was put to Dr. Frederick F. Teal, who had qualified as an expert alienist, and Dr. Teal declared that he believed English to have been in- sane when he was married. Judge Troup hen granted the decree of annuliment of several wit- JUDGES GOING TO BE ALERT Resolve to Get to Court Early and Make Lawyers Hurry. ADOPT ASSIGNING DOCKET EU'LE Make Estelle Presiding Officer an Start Off with Evident Purpose of Doing Business on Busi- ness Lines. Sales of alarm clocks in the next two weeks undoubtedly will be heavy, for the judges of the district court of Douglas county have formally adopted a rule which will bring themselves to court half an hour earlier each day and which will bring the lawyers, too, in at 9 instead of 9:30 p. m. Incidentally the judges voted to adopt the system of a presiding judge, who will make dafly aseignment of all law cases. This presiding judge will be Judge Estello as the incambent of the bench in court room No. 1. The new rules as adopted vary little from the general plan announced. Assignments of motions and demurrers will be made on Saturdays at 3 o'clock and arguments will be had also on Baturdays before the trial judge to whom has been assigned the case in which the motion or demurrer !s entered. “It Is the firm intention of the judges,” sald Judge Sutton, discussing the new rules, “that lawyers shall be compelled to proceed to try cases when assigned, or have them dismissed. No trifiing excuses will go." How Dockets Will Be Made, One law docket will be made up by the clerk of district court and three trial dockets wili be filled by assignmenis of cases by Judge Estelle, will go to Judges Sears, Kennedy and Redick, who will be |on the law side at the February term of |court, The three equity judges, Sutton, Day and Troup, will take jury trials by assignment from Judge Estelle when they are not oc- cupled with their own dockets. The presiding judge system wiit In- augurated February 14, when the new term begins. Judge Estelle will be out of the city that dzy, hiving an engagement to speak wp state. He will write his in- structions to the grand jury and these will be read to that body when it has been im- panelled by some «ther judge. Who this will be is not determined definitely, but it is not unlikely that Judge Sutton will act for Judge Es:elle. The judges at their meeting re-elected Probation Officers Mogy Bernstein, Carver and Miss Bessie Preiman.

Judge McPherson Intends that they shall all be tried together. Mabray will_have to deny himself the luxurles of the jall at Des Moines. He will be held at Counell Bluffs in the Potta- wattamfe county jJall until the trial. Judge McFherson denled the request of the de- ferse that Mabray be returned to the Des Moines jail The hearing of the arguments on the de- murrer occupled the court all afternoon on Friday. On the opening of court Saiurday morning the judge announced that he did not care to hear the attorneys further, as he had formulated his opinion after a re- view of the documents in the eause during the night. He declared that the facts as presented indicated that the ease should be submitted to a jury.
