stroyed by fire that there is no tangible
clew to the author or authors of it.
There may be suspicious but nothing
definite enough to warrant any action,
beyond the continued ~alertness of the
authorities for any clue which may in
future turn up to unravel the mystery.

Special Meeting.
There was a special meeting of the
city council Thursday to make prepa-
ratiohs for the coming city election and
arrange the matter of paying warrants,
which the holders claim are soon to ex-
pire by limitation. Five aldermen we're
present, Reade, Mclean, Patterson,
Allen and Braithwaite.
A resolution calling the regular city
election was introduced. Alderman
Allen moved that the several judges be
appointed by the mayor. Mr.. Braith-
waite objected to this and wanted to
name n of the judges from his ward,
which he said was a customary proceed
ing. The motion to have the mayor ap-
point, however, was carried, and the fol-
lowing persons were named as judges:
First Ward-H. T. Detcher, S. M. Pye
and J.F. Philbrick. Polling place, Stat
tery's feed store.
Second Ward-H. P. Bogue, VIM.
Sloan, A. Greasy. Polling place, vacant
Office in Mellon block.
Third Ward-W. T. Perkins, J. A.
Barnes, Nels White. Polling place,
Faunce's glass house.
Fourth Ward-C. A. King. A. L..
Knevels, Chas. Kaufman. Polling
place, Robidou's paint shop.
The appointments of judges we're ap-
proved by the council, MI. Braithwaite
voting no.
In the matter of warrants, a resolu-
ton was passed, authorizing the treas
urer to pay at least a part of each war
rant at maturity, thus practically re-
newing the instrument. The council
then adjourned.

A Good Court.
Plaindealer: The decisions of North
Dakota's supreme court are receiving
aattering attention from the high courts
of many other states. Very frequently
North Dakota decisions are cited by
these courts, and in connection much
merited compliment is added. The work
of Chief Justice Wallin is attracting tile
attention of Judge Finch, of the New
York court of appeals. Referring to the
opinion of Chief Justice Wallin in the
case of the State vs.. Callahan, involving
the contest over the position Of superin-
tendent Of schools in Cass county and
which was recently decided by the
suprem court, Judge Finch speaks of it
as Every able and thoroughly sound"
The force of this compliment to Judge
Wallin is multiplied by the fact that the
questions which we're decided in. the
case we're very difficult, and the further
fact thrt Judge Wallin Is an utter
stranger to Judge Finch, the latter
voluntarily paying the compliment.

Where Is He.
Landlord Patterson, of the Sheridan
house, has received the following letter
from Mrs. L. Vallereux, of Almond, Wyo.
Mr.. Patterson knows nothing Of the young
nan inquired about, and anyone who
may will appreciate the kindness which
would be conferred upon an anxious
mother by giving her information:
l have a son who is missing; last heard
from the 22d of January. 1 had a letter
from HIM written on paper belonging to
your house. His name was Frank W. Val
lereux, age 20 years, light complexioned;
weight It's; was an operator, and had
worked as stationary engineer; also, he
was hunting work and had money when he
left, though I am. sure he was without
means at the date of his letter which was
written from your house. 1 think some
thing unusual must have happened him or
we would have heard from him. In that
far away place he could have met with
death and we'would not be any the wiser.
He had his life insured in the Union
Casualty company of st. Louis, end would
be entitled to $1,000 weekly if hurt. Can
you give me any information of any kind,
for we would gladly lend a helping hand
to him. He said he expected to hear from
us when he reached Fargo, but my letter
was returned from there, so it seems he
didn't reach there.
