reaching the boiling point. At least

house this morning. Two new citi-
zens were made by Judge Davis, and
two who were anxious to swear allie

the constitution were rejected. All
of the applicants had taken out their
first papers, but just the two were ad
mitted to citizenship. J. NJ. Ron
stadt and Max Stedden were the two
successful candidates.
