A WIFE-BEATER ARRESTED.
Joseph Milstein Is Charred With Assault and
Battery.
Joseph Milstein, a Hebrew residing
on lower Front Street, was-arrested
this morning an a warrant sworn out by
his wife charging hrm with assault and
batery. He was locked in the city jail
and is on trial before Justice Gearey
this afternoon.
Milstein is apparently demented. He
claims that his real name is Goldstein,
but that after he came to this country
he changed it to Milstein. He was ar
rested in the early fall on a vagrancy
charge. At theft time he was begging
about the city, claiming that his wife
and six children were suffering from
hunger. This statement was not sub
stantiated in court and lie was allowed
to go on the grounds that he would
secure employment. He has not kept
his promise, but on the contrary has
forced his wife to go out and do work,
i and he has lounged about the house,
I
This morning he was detected by iveigh
bors in the act of cruelly beating his
I: wife, and the police station was notified.
He will undoubtedly be given a term
1 in the county jail.
n
BELMONT'S BOOZE.
When Perry Belmont was in con
gress he had a valet who was simply
invaluable, though he had one strong
weakness. Mr. Belmont kept the
choicest liquors in his rooms and the
valet could not resist the temptation
to sample them, the result being that
once or twice a week he would be
found badly listed to starboard. The
congressman could not think of dis
charging his man. so he had bottles
made specially for himself, each with
5 a cleverly devised padlock, the keys for
which never left his own possession.

land in the western part of the county
at the appraised price.. The sales were

Plan for New Courthouse as Outlined
The Forum Meets WWb
Taxpayers' Approval.
Commissioners Are Turning Their
Attention in the Direction of i
Tem|iorary Quarters.
The proposition to call
a ^pecta)
It has been suggested to the board
that the purchase of a building by the
county would be the best business
proposition, and the members admit
this fact, but question their authority.
If this could be done the building
could be sold when the new courthouse
is completed at perhaps a figure in ad
vance of the cost and the rent would
be clear.
Should the commissioners conclude
to rebuild the annex and the voters
should decide on a bond issite for the
construction of an entirely new build
ing, the annex wotfld handicap build
ing operations and would eventually
have to be torn away with all of the
improvements a dead loss.
At the special election, vjrhich will un
doubtedly be called for early in Feb
ruary, all voters in the county"will be
eligible to participate. The intima
tion' that only taxpayers could vote 1$
erroneous./ "Another error which has
been made," said State's Attorney
Smith this morning, "is in the an
nouncement that bonds could be issued
covering a period of either five or
thirty years. They must be for either
ten or twenty years."
Patrick Neary of Buffalo, one Of the
best known farmers in the cOttnty, and
fair-sized tax payer, is iri the city.
In an interview with The Forum Mr.
Neary said:
"I am heartily in favor of an entirely
new building and I do not think that
$2C0,C00 is any too much to spend. This
is a large, wealthy, growing county.
Fargo is not only the county seat, but
the metropolis of the state, and is a
great convention city. We should
erect a building that the entire state
would feel proud of. All of the farm
ers that I have talked with are in fa
vor of this step being taken and the
commissioners should not hesitate. I
wish that they were authorized to go
ahead and sell bonds that time and
money might be saved in a. special
election.
"I am opposed to changing the site
of the courthouse as suggested by
some. The location, according to my
views is ideal. The lot is large and
conveniently situated and just suffi
ciently remote from the humdrum of
the city to make the quiet perfect. All
of the ruins, including the annex,
should be cleared away and a new and
substantial building constructed.
"The scheme may be opposed by
some of the big taxpaying farmers of
the county, but an Increase "in the levy
would be more keenly felt by the lit
tle felllow with only a^home, and you
bet you will find him favor of the
bond issue every time. Some of the
big fellows, who are knocking have
not acquired their wealth as the re
sult of enterprise, but by virtue of
having characteristics quite the re
verse. The Forum should work night
and day for a new and substantial
building, and it won't do its duty un
less it does."
The commissioners have not as yet
decided on the propositions that will
be submitted at the special election, but
there will probably be three, which will
perhaps be formulated at the meeting
tomorrow, as stated in last nights
Forum.
The board spent some time this aft
ernoon looking at buildings about the
city suitable -for temporary quarters for
the county officers pending the com
pletion of the new courthouse. The
Porritt building is looked upon with
favor, as its dimensions are ample, and
with two or three additional vaults
would make very good quarters.

ME PAKGO FORUM AND DAILY REPUBLICAN", FRIDAY EVENING, 'DECEMBER 190$
elecr!
tion to vote on. a bond issue for the
construction of a new and substantial
courthouse for Cass County, as out
lined in last night's Forum, has met
with the endorsement of a large ma
jority of the taxpayers of Fargo and
farmers who have visited the city to
day. Naturally there is some oppo
sition to the scheme, both in city and
country, but this is to be expected, and
the decision will come, as it should, in
the battle of the ballots, which, if
present arrangements do not miscarry,
will come during the lirst week in Feb
ruary.
With the matter of determining the
nature of a new courthouse practically
up to the people the commissioners are
turning their attention toward tempo
rary quarters pending a completion of
the new building, which means a per
iod of about two years. The board
devoted this morning to a discussion
of this matter. Architect Hancock
submitted plans and specifications for
rebuilding the burned annex this morn
ing, accompanied by an estimate of the
cost. Ihe commissioners decline to
give out the figures, but from inter
views with members of the board the
conclusion is reached that the cost of
rebuilding as estimated by the archi
tect is much higher than was antici
pated by the board and that they are
now investigating the possibilities of
renting a suitable room.

Justice Gearey Must Show Cause Why He
3j Didn't Direct a Case to Martin Ryan.
I ....
••'A taandamus proceeding, commenced
by Attorney Taylor Crum against Jus
tice. E. C. Gearey, which will be heard
in the district court on Monday morn
ing, involves a fine point of law and
its outcome will be watched with inter
est by lawyers and justices generally.
Yesterday in Justice Gearey's court
the case of the Buffalo Pitts Co., vs.
G. L. Mattson was set for trial. Be
fore the action was calleld Attorney
Turner for the plaintiff appeared in
court and asked for a subpoena ducas
tecum for Martin Ryan. While the
justice was in the act of preparing the
subpeona Attorney Taylor Crum for
the defendant entered the courtroom
and said that he had an affidavit to of
fer.
v
"One matter ,at a time," Justice
Gearey replied, ignorant of the nature
Of Attorney Crum's affidavit, "and Mr.
Turner came first."
The subpeona was prepared and then
it was discovered that Mr. Crum was
there with an affidavit for a change of
venue. An affidavit was made by At
torney Turner that Martin Ryan, jus
tice of the peace, was a material wit
ness for the plaintiff. With this affi
davit, in hand Justice Gearey granted
the request for a change of venue and
directed the case to Justice Barnes of
Barnes Township. Attorney Crum, ap
parently not pleased with the idea of
tramping off to Barnes Township to try
the case, immediately commenced man
damus" proceedings, and an order was
issued by Judge Pollock directing Jus
tice Gearey to appear in district court
on, Monday morning at 9 o'clock and
show cause why the case on change of
venue should not have bpen directed to
Justice .Ryan's, court, which is the near1
est QE^Mrt, as prescribed by law.
Justice Gearey undoubtedly based his,
procedure on this provision of the
state statutes providing for a change
of venue:
"Where .it appears, to t^r^atis,faqtioa(
of the justice before? whom, the action is
pending, by affidavit Of either patty, that
such justice is a material witness tor
either party," then the court may chatige
the place of triil:

There is a possibility that Justice
Gearey has excee&d his authority, as
the reason assiified for a change of

proclaiming the justice a material wit

passed on. Justice Gearey's ruling will
perhaps be the ultimate outcome of the
case, but the red tape of the law will
undoubtedly make it necessary for the
action to first go to Justice Ryat^
