In view of the large amount of

liquor dealers, a ruling of the treas
ury department just received at the

importance.

•It has been the custom of all
wholesale houses to protect custom
ers in Dakota and other prohibition
states by consigning shipments
to themselves. The bill of lading,
with a sight draft on the customer,
were then forwarded to some bank
at the point of destination. In this
way the purchasers was able to re
ceive the liquor in the dealer and
escape the penalties of the pro
hibition law.
According to the decision just
handed down, this makes the point
of destination the place of sale, and
the wholesaler will have to secure
a federal license as a liquor dealer
at that place.
As the laws of North Dakota pro
hibit the sale in this state, this
seems to pin the wholesaler down
to a violation for every sale made.

The Garrison Times.
John L. Hanson, of Garrison and
Miss Christina R. Larson of Canby,
Minn., were united in marriage last
week at Bismarck.
Wm. Frank, who has resided with
his family for the past three years
on their farm four miles northwest
of Garrison, died at his home Wed
nesday evening of dropsy. Mr.
Frank came to this section from
Scotland, S. D., and had made nu
merous friends. Funeral services
will be held at the house Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. He leaves
to mourn their loss a wife and sev
eral children, who have the sympa
thy of the community.
Rev. E. S. Stickney, of Fargo,
and Rev. Emil Dietrich, of Wash
burn, spent several days in Garri
son the first of the week, looking
over the field with a view to erect
inga Cong church. On Tuesday
morning they decided it was best
to go ahead with the building at
once, and accordingly circulated a
petition prnong our business men
which met a liberal response from
all.
Daniel Fogherty was so badly in
jured in a runaway Tuesday even
ing about a mile northeast of Gar
rison, that he died Thursday morn
ing at nine o'clock withour regain
ing consciousness. As he was alone
no particulars are known, but it is
probable that the team ran down a
long hill, at the bottom of which
they were found entangled in their
harness so that they could not
move, and the load of building ma
terial was upset as they started to
turn into the coulee, Mr. Fogerty
going under part of the load. Here
he was found by a farmer in a short
time, who removed the lath, etc.,
from him, and then instead of tar
ing for him like a man, just threw
a blanket over him and went home,
leaving the unfortunate fellow to
lay out in a drizzling rain all night.
The farmer offers the thin excuse
that he thought Fogherty was
drunk. Wednesday morning, he
brought to town by Messrs. Wood
and Cheek, and Dr. Ray, of Cole
harbor, was immediately notified.
After examination, the doctor at
once announced that there were no
grounds for hope- for his recovery
as he had received internal injury.
All was done' for him after the doc
tor's arrival that could be done,
but to no avail.

THE GOODRICH CITIZEN.
John Stuart, of ten miles south
of here and who is well-known here
is hauling his flax crop to this place
He had 50 acres in and got 525 bu.
therefrom.
Deputy Sheriff Seltz, of Wash
burn, was in town yesterday. He
was looking after some delinquent
personal property taxes in this end
of the county.
Sam Harding had a coat stolen
from him Tuesday night. Two
thefts from the same place in one
week is putting it on too thick.
We have enough confidence in dep
uty sheriff Harding's detective abil
ity to predict that the chances are
decidedly against the culprit escap
ing justice.
John Lindstrom was building a
house on his claim two miles west
of the Jones Lake last week. On
the night of October iJlst, someone
carried off the tools lie was using
and also windows, doors and nails.
Similar acts have occurred in that
neighborhood within the past two
years.
Adolph Schlenker had the mis
fortune to cut the palm of his right
hand with a large cheese knife last
Saturday afternoon. He was in the
act of removing some butter from
jar and the knife slipped through
his hand. The sore is healing very
nicely we are glad to say.
Last Friday night, a rubber-tired
top buggy was stolen from Harding
Bros, livery barn and no trace of
the vehicle or thieves have bean
found to date. The bam has been
yery crowded of late, and the bug
gies have been left out nights on
that account. Sam Harding re
turned from a trip with this buggy
Shortly- after, dark and unhitched
from it on the east side of the barn
which is away from the office, giv
ing the thief a good opportunity to
get away without being seen. The
buggy belonged to Frank Klinger.
THE DENHOFF VOICE.
Mrs. J. L. Minard, mother of
Mrs. S. D. Shepardson, is seriously
ill at present. Her people have
been notified and are expected
here.
John Whittaker, Sr., a veteran of
the civil war, was a caller at this
office this week. He was a soldier
on the leet of war ships that pa
trolled the coast off the Carolinas,
Georgia and Florida. He served
almost four years, and has many
interesting events to relate of that
turbulent period.
E. A. Vanetta died at his home
near McClusky on Monday evening
of diabetes. The deceased came
to this country from Wisconsin last
spring in company with his broth
ers, and settled on land. The re
mains were shipped to Plattville,
Wis., for burial. Although but a
short time iu our community, Mr,
Vanetta, through sterling worth and
honesty, has made many friends.
The sympathy of the community
is extended to the bereaved family.

A warehouse, branded Washburn
