4 I & BAUDETTE BILL IS' SLIGHTLY/ CHANGED Provision Allowing Judge to Excuse Jurors From South of Fourteenth Parallel Dropped. INTRODUCED BY D. P. O'NEILL Representative Also Made Fight Against Killing of Normal School Report. DUNN MEASURE IS PASSED Wat Amended to Not Be Contrary to the Elwell ActCodifies Exist ing Laws. Changing the provision which called for a jury taken from north the fourteenth parallel and pro viding that the expenses of the court reporter shall be paid for special terms in Baudette^ D. P. O'Neill in troduced a bill amending the old Baudette law and providing for two general terms of district court to be held in Baudette and Spooner each year. The bill as drafted by attorn eys from the north end of the coun ty provided that the judge could ex cuse jurors drawn from south of the fourteenth parallel. The bill was referred to the judic iary committee of the house and will be reported out after a public hear ing has been held. There appears to some objection to the bill as -ft now stands since it calls for two gen eral terms of court whereas Clear water county, which has been ganized for ten years, has but one term. It is said that the bill was drafted for the purpose of affecting existing legislation in the Canadian Northern fire cases. D. P. O'Neill rescued the general normal school bill from extinction Wednesday afternoon when he ask ed the house to reconsider a motion passed not to receive the bill from the normal school committee. The house reconsidered and the bill was placed on general orders. It will come up tor debate sometime within (.he next two weeks. Over the phone this morning, Mr. O'Neill stated that he believed the bill could be pushed through if Cass Lake, Bemidji and Thief River Falls will unite on it. The text is as fol lows: "Section 1.
