MASON MEET
Big Doings last Friday Ev-
ening in Local Lodge
M ANY VISITORS S
A Goodly Number of Masons from other
Towns in Attendance. A Splendid
Supper Served at Midnight.

Success crowned the efforts of the
local Masonic lodge last Friday eve
ming when they endeavored to suitably
entertain the brethren from other
towns. Those who attended are loud
in their praises of the royal treatment
they received. About fifty visiting
members honored Bottineau with their
presence on this occasion. Rev. Keu-
self, Of Souris and David S. Turner
were raised to the third degree. the
home team doing the work in the first
case and the Westhope lodge ofdciat-
ing in the other. Shortly after mid
night splendid banquet including
plenty of delicious turkey was served
in fine style by the ladies of the Star.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the ladies. They worked hard and
their labors were crowned with sue
cess. It was feast fit for a king.
Rev. Stirling, of Westhope, ably filled
the position of toast master, the toasts
were many and the responses entertain
ing.
The impossibility of securing a spe-
cial train prevented many from COM
ing who would have otherwise attend
ed. This was especially true of those
living west of here. Several automo-
biles were sent out to Westhope and
Souris and brought down a number
but many more wished to be- present.
The visitors list is too lengthy to ad-
nit of being published this week. The
members Of the supper committee, and
to whom especial credit is due, were,
so far as we can learn, as follows
Mesdames MacKay, Blades, Mcintosh,
Meighen, Noble. Hofa.ker, Fulton,
Wallace, McKinnon, Kirk, Johnson,
White and Bate. If there were
others no slight is intended. The
ladies were so modest about their part
in the affair that we found it difficult
to discover all the facts.

THE TRAGEDY
At Nyack, N. Y. May Con-
Germ people known here
HARRY BRITTON
Shot Dead and Brother Frank dang erousiy
Wounded by Man who was Infatu-
ated with their Sister Jessie.

Though it may only be remark
able coincidence there is an alarming
suggestion of home interest in the re-
polt of tragedy enacted at Nyack,
n. Y. on November %. an account of
which was given in yesterdays Her
aid. The dispatch says w. N. Jones
shot and instantly killed Harry Brit
ton. aged 1S years and seriously
wounded Frank Britton. Jones was
infatuated with Miss Jessie Britton
and his attentions were annoying her.
She asked her brothers to forbid him
to come to the house. He called and
was met at the door ny the two boys
and on being refused admission drew
a revolver. and used it with deadly
effect. He then fled but later report
says he has committed suicide.
Many people here fear that this ira
gedy involves the Brittons we'll known
here and who formerly owned The
Courant. The names are identical
and it seems almost impossible to as
sumo so remarkab a coincidence of
names and ages and leave the Britton
family Of this county out of the ques
tion. Our effolts to reach the neigh
borhood where they have been living
on their farm, about ten miles from
Mohall, have so far proved unavailing.
They were still there three weeks ago
but may have since gone to New York.
Full information will be awaited with
intense interest.

SOURIS
BY our special correspondent.

BY our special correspondent.
The food and auction sale held by
the Lutheran ladies aid of Souris on
Saturday last was a huge success. The
citizens of Souris know the reputati tion
of the Scandinavian women as cooks
and took advantage of the occasion by
patronizing like one, as almost every
housewife was represented and partook
in bountiful supper prepared by
the ladies, which was deserving of
high praise. After the supper Mr..
G. L. Larson was elected auctioneer
to auction off a large amount of ar
ticles made. sewed or manufactured
by the different ladies of the aid.
Many valuable articles were sold which
demanded handsome prices. We did
not learn how much was realized by
the ladies hut we feel sure that they
are entirely satisfied with their efforts
on this particular occasion.
Word was received here this week,
that the smoke at Bottineau was most
strenuous through the generosity of
one Mr.. J. J Weeks, all or account
of new and handsome attorney.
We learn with regret the early de-
mise in the newspaperdom of one Mr..
John F. Haskett. His equal in Bot
tineau county has yet got to prove
himself. OF course, when we say this
we only give the opinion of few in
cluding ourselves, but give the devil
his dues. ..........
Hail to the new king of the Botti
neau Courant. Our wishes are for his
best success. We only hope that
while he occupies that chair of his an
tecedent he speaks as fearlessly as he
did at all times on the various arising
questions. We hasten to thank him
at least for his promise to do so.
Senator Macarthur of Bottineau was
visitor in Souris last week in the in

sion anyhow since he mentions print

AN AVALANCHE. ! ! T.
of Votes Expected in next
Few Weeks
IS A PRETTY RACE
Struggle between Miss Carpenter and Miss
Wenos Grows Interesting, Fight for
First Place Close.

The piano contest grows more and
more interesting. The candidates
are all working hard and the public
enthusiasm is growing. But there
lis tendency on the part Of good
many to hold back votes and the
contest editor anticipates an avail
anche of coupons and certificates dur
ing the last few weeks of the con-
test. Voting should be strong next
week and continue to grow stronger
during December. There is no pos
sibility of picking a winner now.
A lead of $4,000 votes would not
warrant idleness on the part of the
leader. A handicap of $4,000 votes
need not discourage a candidate
low on the list. With several hum
dred thousand votes to be heard from
even the last may he first and the first
may be last. Work ia necessary.
Every candidate should devote her
time to the work from now until the
last vote is cast. We have been told
by different parties that the 'spiano
might as we'll be shipped to our town
right now" but we will have to be
shown-we once visited in Missouri.
Nothing but votes will decide where
we are to send the big prize. The thing
to do is to-get votes.
We are fortunate this week in be-
ing able to present good likeness Of
the young ladies holding first, second
and third places this week. We have
