and ordered thousand circulars print

soldiers. He advertised himself as the

are told, from few old veterans, bat be

A letter received from J. A. johnson
of Fargo. relative to the proposed water
works and electric light plant which he
and his partner James Kennedy. pro.
posed to put in here. states that they
have thus far been unable to secure the
necessary money with which to begin
the work, but that they are still trying
to negotiate for the same, and hope to
be able to get it 80 that they can con-
plete the work by the time specified in
the franchise. The town board at its last
meeting instructed the clerk to notify
Messrs. Johnson & Kennedy that their
franchise had been annulled for reason
Of their failure to begin work at the
time specified therein, which leaves the
ground practically open to any other
finn or association to take up the work
on new franchise, which the Graphic
is informed will be undertaken within a
short time. Mr.. Johnson's letter is az
follows:
Fargo, N. D.. May 2. 1903.
Dear Sir:-I think that I should make
some explanation to the citizens of Will
liston. At the time that the franchise
was granted was assured that money
could be had to do the work. l relied
on that until about the time we wanted
it. and was then told that owing to the
then stringency in the money market
they could not furnish the money.
then took it up with other parties and
still hope to get it in time 80 that the
work will be complete within the time.
The franchise and contracts are now in
Cleveland, O.. where capitalists are
looking them over, and am just in re.
ceipt Of letter to the effect that pros
poets for securing the money are good.
What will be the actual result no ope
| can tell for sure. I have. az you know
made several trips to Williston and
three trips east in the interest of this
matter, and have spent considerable
time and money. In fact. have done all
that is in my power. l never pretended
that | had the money with which to do
the work. nor have now. I hope the
citizens of Williston will be little
patient in the matter and We will GER
tainly do the best We can.
Yours truly.
]. A. Johnson.
OF course, this matter Is in the hands
of the trustees, and they will probably
act, as to them, may seem best for the
public's interest.

ago. was found last Saturday by Thenas
Shea while hunting for soms< horses
about one and one. half miles f16m where
the body was found In the pockets Of
the coat was found letter which re-
vealed the fact thai the u9t fortunate man
was the identical ohe WHICH Mr.. Thomas
believed he was, Henry Folk, of Brook
lyn, N. Y, and with those relatives he
has been in correipohdence ever since
the discovery Of the body. Coroner
Thomas has been persistent in his en-.
'leavors to secure positive and conclu-
siye evidence aslt{ who the dead man
was. aud has strongly held to the be-
lief that the maa's coat could not b
very far away from the place where the
body lay. and the finding Of this garn-
ent by Mr.. Shea proves that Coroner
Thomas was right in his ideas. Too
much credit cannot be given to the cor
oner for his inde :aticable efforts in fer
retinR out the dead mans identity.
