The fire is supposed to have started

Special to the Globe,
BosToN, Dec. ia large meeting
was held this afternoon in fremont
Temple, under the auspices Of the
Loyal Women of America, to rejoice
over the result of the recent municipal
election. Mrs. e. P. Nichols presided,
and the audience was composed almost
wholly of women. The principal speak
ers were Mrs. Nj. l.. Shepard, Rev. j. b.
Dunn, Rev. j. M. Gray, Rev. Eli JAN
hoar, Rev. M. r. Deming, Rev. Edward
Everett Hale, and j. Nj. Skinner. The
speakers all praised the work
performed by the women in

board, who. they claimed, will see to it
that our public schools are conducted
ON non-partisan principles. The argu-
ments in favor OF prompt and effective
action by the friends OF the public
schools, which have become so familiar
through the discussions of the question
during the. campaign, were repeated.
and the meeting was very enthusiastic.
The speeches were preceded by the
singing Of the DOXolOgy, Praise God

TIME BRINGS CHANGES.
New Phases of the Statehood
Movement Crop Out Daily.


Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, OAK, Dec. 13.-The state
hood movement is assuming new phases
and proportions almost daily. Among
the recent developments is a call for a
convention of the Democrats of South
Dakota to urge division and admission
of two states, and now come the Demo
Gratis of North Dakota with the agita-
ton. No call has yet been made for a
convention of the Democrats of North
Dakota, but the question is being agi-
tated, and prominent Democrats
who have been bitter and deter
mined in their opposition to division,
are now favOring the movement.
Letters first received here from
prominent congressman convey little
encouragement for action during the
present session of congress, although
Sunset Cox intimates that sufficient
number of Democrats may vote for
division to give it majority in the
house. An immense mass convention
OF Dakotians will soon be held in some
one of the North Dakota towns for the
purpose of giving the Democrats an OPP
portunity to show their leaders in con-
gress that the movement for statehood
is nOn-partisan. Efforts will be made to
have Congressman Cox, of New York,
and Congressman Macdonald. of Min
nesota, present. These Democratic con-
greSsmen have done much good work
for Dakota, and their presence would
insure to the meeting an Immense at
tendance,

Harriet Young Says Her Deed
to Valuable Property Was OBJ
tanned From Her BY Fraud.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dak., Dec. 13.-The case of
Harriet Young against r. g. Fisher,
now on trial, is attracting unusual in
terest, owing, in part, to the large
amount involved, and also to circum-
stances in connection with the cause of
the suit. Mrs. Young claims that the
deed to the land in dispute was OBJ
tanned from her by fraud; that she had
no intention of deciding away the prop
erty, but instead made sale and exc
cuted deed to property in the town of
BinghamptOn, in the western part OF
this county, to r. G. Fisher, who, in
turn, made transfer to Ezra Dewitt,
of Scranton, Pa, and it was not until
some time after that Mrs. Young
was made aware Dewitt had
a deed to the land in question. Mrs.
Young at once brought suit. This was
year ago. During the progress of the
trial Dewitt suddenly left this city, and
his body was found suspended from
ratter in the barn of farmer, four
miles north of this city. This necessi-
tated the retrial of the case. The prop
erty involved comprises one OF the
most valuable additions to Fargo.
