Briggs Boys Guilty of Assault
Battery--Joe Miller Now
Trial.
on
and
At^4 o'clock yesterday 3tfternobn,
after*1entg out ah hour and a half, the
jury in the case of the state vs. George
and Judson Briggs, charged „yvith mak
ing an assault with intent to maim, re
turned a verdict finding the defendants
guilty of simple assault and battery,
the penalty for which is a fine, a jail
sentence, or both. The verdict of the
jury was something pf a surprise, as,
the state had made out an exception
ally strong case. The defendants wef-e
charged with assaulting and attempt
ing to gouge out the eye of Jack How
ard, employed in the capacity of fore
man on the McHenry farm, down on
the Sheyenne. John Frame and A. T.
Cole appeared for the defendant and
Wm. H. Barnett prosecuted.
When the case of the state vs...Win
ger was called the defendant failed to
put in an appearance and his bond in
the sum of $1,000, was declared forfeit
ed. Winger was charged with giving
intoxicating liquors away. There is
another case against him, in which he
is charged with unlawfully taking or
ders for intoxicating liquors. The bond
in this case is $1,000, and it is thought
that he will forfeit this. Winger is the
representative of a St. Paul wholesale
house and when arrested was repre
senting the house in this state. He
was picked up in Casselton and bound
over to the district court.
The case of the state vs. Joseph Mil
ler was called yesterday afternoon. Mil
ler is charged with conducting a blind
pig at his farm house in the western
part of the county. He was afrested
on a complaint sworn out by a for
mer hired man, named Wagner. The
young fellow claimed that Miller stold
him a half parrel of beer. Miller de
nies the charge by stating that the fel
low stole the liquor. Wagner, the pri
cipal witness in the case, is said to
have gotten into some kind of a scrape
at Valley City a few weeks ago and
skipped out.: The state was depending
largely on his^ testimony for aconyic

great disadvantage in the absence of
the complaining witness.? He recited
to the jury that the simpft finding of
a, great quantity of liquor, gs was found
at Miller's house, did not necessarily
go to prove guilt, but of course had
its weight. He recited the fact that a
saloon might appear in the guise of a
palatial residence, and intimated
strongly his belief in the guilt of the
accused. He turned to the prisoner
and gave him a word of warning, re
marking that the verdict would be a
"Scotch verdict," which means, "guilty,
but not proven." When the jury was
asked whether "not guilty" was its
verdict, each member responded yes,
and the prisoner was ordered discharge
ed and the verdict recorded.
Judge Pollock continued his remarks
about witnesses skipping out, and in
structed that in the future all com
plaining witnesses in Cases of this
character must be placed under bond,
or held in confinement.
PLEADS GUIlM^"*
Frank Cowan, afrested at Leonard a
few days ago, and brought to the coun
ty jail, charged with bootlegging, was
arraigned in court this afternoon, and
entered a plea of guilty. He was sen
tenced to pay a tihe of $200 and to
serve ninety days in the county jail. In
the event that he does not pay his fine
he will be compelled to serve thirty
additional days.
"Where have I seen you before your
face looks familiar?" asked the court
of the prisoner.
"I worked in Fargo this spring is a
painter," replied Cowan.
"Is this the first time you have- ever
appeared before me?"
The prisoner hung his head and re
fused to answer. The court looked to
the state's attorney for a reply and Mr.
Barnett stated that the prisoner was
before the court at the April term
charged with grand larceny that he
was permitted to enter a plea of guilty
to petty larceny and that He had been
given a short jail sentence.
Judge Pollock thereupon proceeded
to give the young man a good lecture.
He cautioned him- 6n 'his do^vnward
tendencies and admonished him that if
he was ever brought before him again,
on a bootlegging charge that he would
be sentenced to the penitentiary. TTiev
prisoner was then led away to do ia$

effort seems to be prog­
ress to secure a meeting between the
agricultural college and the state uni
versity football teams. A year ago
both organizations were members of
two football conferences. Early this
fall the agricultural college withdrew
from the state conference and anounc
ed as a reason that the teams in it
were too small to give them good
games. The university soon afterwards
announced its withdrawal from the
northwest conference, giving as a rea
son that the team which had been giv
en games by the university, refused to
reciprocate.
No one questions the right of either
institution withdrawing from either*or
both conferences, if desired.
Any one familiar with the A. C. play
will not feel alarmed over the outcome
of a meeting between the A. C. and
the U., after seeing the game by the
university here Wednesday against the
Fargo College. All kinds of
:saay
i'argo College. All kinds of money
would be put up by Fargoans that th
"farmers" could pile up a score of 40
against the Forkers in a game of full
thirty-five minute halves.
The U. management has put up the
howl of "professionalism" against the
A. C. team. The agricultural college
numbers some boys among the aggre
gation who play baseball in the sum
mer and earn money to pursue their
studies.
For years the university had such
men as Flanagan and Skulason, stArs
on the team. They played professional
baseball and played with the U. foot
ball team. The U. management evi
dently didn't regard it as a sin—then.
At present there are men on the U.
team who are said to have received
money for playing baseball. In fact
there is nothing in the rules against
professional baseball players playing
football, and both the A. C. and the U.
have a perfect right to play such men
011 the football "teams. Just where the
U. management comes in on its big
howl is not known.
Added to the employment of profes
sional baseball players, the U. goes the
A. C. one better. Last year it played
a professional coach in Haggerty.
This year it has a professional sprint
er on the team in Shadenbach. Less
than a month before entering the uni
versity Shadenbach ran a race for the
North Dakota championship at James
town for $100 a side. The fact wa?
widely advertised. At that the U. has
a perfect right to play him on the foot
ball team and no objections are made!
It comes with bad grace for the U.
to make a kick on professionalism,
however, with professional players on
its 'team.
Visiting players at Grand Forks kick
on the treatment they receive. If the
kicks weTe infrequent there might be
some truth in the charges they were un
founded, but it is the exception that
there is no kick. Something must be
wrong when the teams are so unani
mous in their protests against the U.
crowd.
The U. has been unable this year to
fget a game with a single team outside
the state that ever played there. What
is the reason for this?
Only one team from without the
state has been at the Forks—the South
Dakota Uniyersity—and the players
were bitter in their denunciation of
their treatment.
Where there is so much protest—
something must be wrong.
The A. C. has played with a number
of strong aggregations from other
states and the people of Fargo are
proud of the boys and their splendid
record. The A. C. relations with all
teams except the N. D. U. are most
amicable.
The U. puts in a claim for the state
championship. Only one team has met
the U. and the A. C. That was the
APT ILLUSTRATION.

Man*
A Forum & Republican man Was
talking with Mr. Porterfield of the firm
of Fout & Porterfield, lately, discussing
a very interesting subject, when Mr.
Porterfield said: v
"See here, I'll show you now Just
what I mean.'
He went out and soon returned with
a bit of board and two bottles. Rest
ing one end of the board on the coun
ter, he supported the other end with
his fingers, and poured on the board
from one of the bottles a drop of thick,
oily substance, which slowly oozed
down the slope. Then Mr. Porterfield
took the other bottle and poured out
just a drop of a clear, delicious, dark
red liquid. This drop shot down the
incline in the twinkling of an eye.
"The first bottle." said Mr. Porter
field, "is the old-fashioned cod liver oil,
or emulsion, as it is called. The sec
brtd bottle contains Vinol. See how

everyone except the Granfl Forks

Next week the famous Flandreau In

the alumni team is a star. Tom Manns,
who will captain the team, has been
the mainstay of the A. C. eleven for
the past six years and has materially
aided in the many victories of A. C.
over Grand Forks. Professor Norton
was a famous guard on the Missouri
University eleven Professor Perrot

Dr. Wheeler was the best all-around
athlete that Grinnell College ever
turned out. At one time he had the
U. S. record in the hop-skip and jump
event. Tot French is known to all
Fargoans for his speed and head work.
Claude Nugent, in the early days of A.

Forks as their most dangerous oppo
