C. 1905, has juris diction of an application based on an affidavit showing such good faith and explaining the default to permit ap pelant to file a new and sufficient un dertaking in leau of the dcfcctive one. 2. Where the record on such an ap peal has been transmitted to the dis trict court and a motion is there made to dismiss the appeal for want of a legal undertaking, it is held that the requirement of a valid undertaking to be served and filed as a step in the appeal proceedings is primarily for the purpose of security and as such the «§ing of an insufficient or void appeal bond with the notice of appeal vests the district court with jurisdiction to order the record to be remanded to the county court that a sufficient bond on appeal may be there approved and aiftd and the record re-transmitted to district court. 3. Where such notice of appeal de ttiknds a trial de novo and the re-trial involves issues of both law and fact, *ft the determination of the existence of a foreign comm6n law marriage necessarily to be determined from evi dence, it is triable on evidence to be offered ar^ipw and not on th« record or tjNftnscript of testimony and proceed ings certified from county court and tie last part of Sec. 19S5 is not to be construed as denying or limiting the ntenner of trial de novo in such cases t# a review of the record of the lower art. 4.

The settled statement of the case on appeal from district to this court from the determination of an equitable issue as in this action should include only the proceedings had ill the dis trict court trial. 8. The evidence offered in district court on behalf of respondents, Miesen is reviewed and held to negative the existence of any common law mar riage of Dorothea Harnau to Peterson. Neither she nor Herman Miesen, al leged son of deceased, are entitled "to inherit his estate. They are without interest in these proceedings and their petition that his estate be decreed to them on final distribution thereof Is denied and judgment below in their favor is ordered vacated. 9. Entries of births, deaths and matters of family history in a fam ily Bible, though hearsay, are ad miBsable as past declarations of mat ters of family history concerning events as to which the family is pre sumed to have accurate knowledge, when the entries were made by a member of the family since deceased or at a time when there could exist no motive to deceive. 10. Certified copies of parish rec ords from Norway of rectttded births, deaths and marriages tending to es tablish respondents, Ladehol, et al., to be heirs of deceased, held inadmis sable for want of proof as a founda tion for their admission of the foreign law requiring such registration as an official duty. A foreign law relied upon as the basis for such testimony must be proven as a fact, and when tho foreign law exists as a statute or in writing oral testimony thereof Is inadmissable under both the common law and our statute Bection 7291. The foreign unwritten or common law may be established by oral testimony, but Where such oral testimony does not es tablish the foreign law to exist as un written or common law and negative the existence of a written statute, the proof of the foreign law is insufficient to admit certified copies of the offi cial but non-judicial records. 11. Such certified copies purported to be certified by the pastors as keep ers of the records, authenticated under seal by district judges as to genuine ness of the pastors' signatures and that the records were kept pursuant to re quirements of law, and re-authentU cated by higher church officials and all certified under seal of office as to ver^ ity of signatures, faith and credit to be given and as made under lawful, authority in turn by the American consul resident in Christiana, Norway, held insufficient to warrant the recep tion in evidence of cuch documents so •certified without further proof that the foreign law was not in writing. 12. The federal, state &nd common law rules of authentication of docn-' mentary evidence as between the states and territories discriminated, the common law rule as to proof necessary to admit forefgn Official, but non-judicial records not applying thereto. 13. The proof of heirship being in sufficient as to the right of Ladehol, et al., alleged foreign heirs, re spondents, to Inherit, but it appearing that on re-trial further testimony might be offered and that further op portunity should be given them to submjj proof of their relationship to deceased, this action is remanded to the district court for re-trial on that issue and the state, to whom in case of want of heirs the estate escheats, will appear by the state's attorney of Benson county or by the attorney gen eral.

It is $ snoy v memory yet to many of the old-timers scattered over the country from Spo kane to the Arctic circle and every where else on earth that produces goM. Still, there is nothing dreary about if, for the cabin lights gleamed across tlu snow, muffled music came from within, growing Intermittently distinct fin doors opened, and the man who packt•! a grudge with a gunplay in it at that season made himself an outcast from the splendid Jollity of the time. It was in the rough but vigorous ar manly long ago that Wallace decided 1 to celebrate a Christmas that all tlv country around would come to. Their* i were not children enough in the can s I to constitute a school and only n -were required for that, but this made no difference with the Christmas prej araUons. There were plenty of big boys aiul i the fact that they were bearded wk.^ i no drawback. They didn't act lik« they were bearded In anticipation of a genuine Christmas tree. Some of them began to prepare for It a night or two before, In consequence *f which some of them missed the final ceremonies. They had an overgrown variety of the shack In those days that served tor *1 general mefeting place, and here is where the tree was placed. May Ark wright Hiitton, who then ran a board ing house In the camp, was elected hs Santa Claus. Her husband was a loco motive engineer and she could get u pass dbwn to Spokane. She bTought out |600 contributed' by everybody with which to buy presents for everybody. A population of 200 persons waited anxiously to see what would be hung on the tree for them as a result. Gritty O'Goudy from up the gulch madfe a public offer to hammer the face off any man who insinuated there was no such thing as Santa Claus, and the town voted him all the help lie might need in that enterprise. A mass of evergreen hid the bar. boards of the big shack when the Santa Claus committee went to work. Every body else was banished under penalty of having to take to the hills for the night if they were caught peeking. When the public was finally admitted It entered Into as near fairyland a..s evergreen, lanterns and tinsel coukl make a big shack, with the huge tree glowing In the center. It was worth a year's work in the hills to be there, when a person had been in the hills long enough. And most of the folks present had been there long enough. The programme began with music, a violin with organ accompaniment. On Sundays the same organ did duty at the Episcopal chapel. There never was a mining camp without a fiddle.: in it. Every time a present came oil ti tree and went to Its owner the crow-i cheered. Jim Callan had been sick aru a suit of clothes came his way. Jixn McCormlck got a suit of woolen un derwear and didn't object a bit. Thus it was, mufflers, mittens, toy dogs, rat tles, tobacco, cigars, anything the needy wanted and anything that would make fun of the prosperous. They wound it up with a dance in which more men danced with men than they did with women. The lattej- were scarce In those days, To spread the general rejoicing the dance adjourned over to Burke, horse back, in slede and on foot. And there is where the frOUc ended sharply* A ybung couple brought their baby girl because they had no place to leave her, and this was no tjme to stay at home* They placed the sleeping little one'oh a couch, where she lay unnoticed in Its wraps. Other guests coming in laid their overcoats and cloaks over the baby and when the mother came im. 'V. ':yA I i mmm t,. Booth No. 1—Fargo Heating ft Pftmbing Co. Booth No. Z—Denis Fur Co.
