The attorneys state that they are mak

that Judge. McKenna has been laid up
so long, and Judge Allen will be busy
holding court in other towns. The
attorneys have taken the matter up
with Scott Cameron, attorney for the

DESERTION ON INCREASE
Desertions of wife and children
have been alarmingly increased in
North JDakota the last few years,
in icommon with the rest of the Unit
ed States, and the result is' ,a general
movement to strengthen legal bul
warks, to protect the home and aug
ment the sense of parental responsi
bility. A strict law covering the
protection of children and pregnant
wives, other wives end children under
sixteen who are unable to support
themselves-has been prepared by the
North Dakota. Children's Code com
mission and will be submitted to the.
coming legislature. The .penalty for
desertion or of failure to support a
ichild under 16 or a pregnant wife*
With inteiit to "wholly abandon,".' is
fixed at imprisonment in the state
penitentiary up to a maximum of five
years. Desertion or failure to sup
port. for a period of three months
shall be presumptive evidence of in
tention to wholly abandon. The pro
vision covering desertion of the child
applies, also to mothers, guardians,
etc., as. wellaft to fathers."
Any man who fails to provide Jor
his wife or any patent or other person
responsible/ who does not provide, for
.the'children under 18 who are in his
or her custody, lr guilty of a inis
dem6|no^. Persons convicted under
this section,, however, may furnish
bonds covering a period, up tie/ five
y^rs, to provide for wife or children
and upon violation o{. the 'bondi. the
origiiwl judgment -shall"-be executed.
