HAVANA. Sept. 2s.-The election for
members OF the board OF registration
passed or quietly in Havana and tele-
grams from the interior say there we're no
disorders except at Placetasm in the prov
ince Of Santa Clara, where many shots
were fred but no one was killed.
The liberals admit the complete victory
In Havana OF the moderates, the party Of
President Palma. They claim that they
did not vote because moderate policemen
stationed at the polls prevented them from
doing so. A representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press visited a majority of the
polls here, but at none of them noted any
indication Of restraint upon voters.
"' Row In the Evening.
Good order is being maintained through
out the city and with the exception Of a
row tonight in which one man was shot
and another seriously hurt on the head by
rock, there has been no trouble.
Crowds which gathered in the Liberal
club rooms were dismissed by orators who
informed them that the moderates were
victorious and requested liberals TO retire
to their homes. The Liberal club was
closed and barricaded. A number Of lib
erals say that this zas done because they
had received word that the government
intended to search the place for arms.
Bombs in CienfueEos.
An expert of Cienfuegos, who examined
one of the bombs found In Congressman
Villeundas' room, declares 1t contained
enough explosives to blow up an entire
block. The government, It is said, has
evidence showing that villeundas took thir-
teen bombs to Cienfuegos. only three of
which have been discovered, though lib
erals have been arrested and found to
have number of bomb fuses At Santa
Clara a search has revealed eleven bombs
similar to others found and also a small
number Of rifles and some ammunition
secreted near the city.

Bruce Williamson, sw sec. Is, 34-7.

The R. 4. Autin Land Company has
recently purchased nearly 10000 acres
OF land in the vicinity of Bruce, making
a total purchase in Is months Of about
20, 900 acres. They advocate the selling
Of land to actual settlers on better
terms than to spectators or investors.
Mr.. Austin feels that il actual settlers
take hold of the clearing Of land the
interests Of The seller are secured in
the increase in land values, while the
less settlers are required to pay at the
start the more they will have to use in
building, clear and stocking their farms.
It may be said that this is the view
also Of other real estate men in Gates
county and that every effort will be
made by the land men to shape things
so that settlers will be able TO proceed
successfully in opening their farms.

What Is Called Birthday Party was

The ladies of the Methodist Church
held what is styled a birthday party
in the Peterson building Wednesday ev-

and we'll attended.
The plan was that each one should
pay for his or her supper an amount
equal to a penny for each year Of his
or her age. How the young ladies re-
ported their ages, The News is not
advised, but it would be a good guess
that there were many between 18 and

The occasion was pleasant one to
all who participated and a profitable
one as well-the proceeds amounting to

Of their Investigation, in brief form, to-

TEAMS IN BRUCE STEETS
Overflow Occupies Every Hitching
Post


The condit tion of the streets of Bruce
Tuesday evening was a reminder of the
stories our daddies tell of old times in
the Mississippi river towns when pro-
cessions of teams brought wheat to
market until the towns were overflown.
So it was at Bruce Tuesday night.
Twenty to thirty teams were tied to
posts in the streets, after the barns had
been filled.
These were teams from the lumber
woods that had kept up forced march
till nightfall and had come up against
the inevitible at dark.
These people reported work complet-
ed where they had been and weather
conditions such that, with the great
depth of snow, made logging practic-
ally out of the question.
In some instances a few logs were
left in the woods at these camps, but
in the main the operations had been
entirely completed.
