Giris Make Com plaints Against Men GIRLS RECENTLY IN JUVENILE COURT CAUSE ARREST OF ELS AND MCCARTHY. Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 10.—Charg ed with contributing to the delin quency of two girls while they were being held in this city in the jurisdic tion of the juvenile court, Sterling McCarthy and W. Els, will be given a preliminary hearing before Judge C. A. Conant on Friday morning. The case was brought to the atten tion of Judge C. W. Buttz by Miss Lil Han Topping of the Florence Crltten don Home of Fargo and Frank D. Hall, superintendent of the North Da kota children's home, who arrived from Fargo Saturday with the two girls in question, who had been com mitted to the custody of Miss Top ping by Judge Buttz several weeks ago. Both Miss Topping and Mr. Hall are juvenile officers for the Second district. The girls in question are 13 and 14 years of age. The fact that it occurred after they had been brought to Devils Lake and while their cases were being investi gated in an effort to help the girls, makes the present case none rhe less unpleasant.

On the Railroad Right-of-Ways GOVERNOR INSTIGATES SETTLE MENT OF NORTHERN PACIFIC CLAIMS HELD MANY YEARS Some weeks ago Governor Hanna took up with President Elliott of the Northern Pacific Railway Company the matter of a general quit claim by the railroad company of the right of way reservation made by the railway company years ago on all land sold under its land grant. All people who bought land from the railway company or who came to transfer land bought from others found this reservation for right of way and it became necessary to get a quit claim from the railway com pany. This necessitated some ex pense for fee and abstract and often times a considerable delay. In view rnfW'F1Tr riff A I.H.T.lTIf fl I.H1 rrr,r.

The Times-Record is in receipt of a letter this morning from a prominent business man from an Eastern city asking for a copy of the Times Re cord that he may use it to familiarize himself with the names of the busi ness men of Valley City. No special reason is given for wishing to become acquainted, but the man who is select ed to transact the business that the eastern man has -to offer, may thank his good fortune that his business was advertised in the paper. of the fact that a great many resi dents of the state were affected, Gov ernor Hanna called the attention of President Elliott to the matter and asked if a general quit claim could not be filed covering this matter of right of way reservation, where no lines had been built. In reply to this letter, the governor has received a letter from the eastern land agent of the Northern Pacific, J. M. Hughes, stating that an instrument has been prepared releasing the right of way reservations, where no lines are at reservations, where no lines are at being placed of record in the several counties of the state east of the Mis souri river. The same steps will be taken to obtain quit claims affecting other lands if such a reservation ap pears.
