prominent real estate firm of Lisbon,
is alleged to have disappeared, leav.

well three or four weeks ago.
At first nothing was thought of his
absence, as he was thought to have
been away on some land deal. Cir.
cumstances demanded an investigation
and it is said that his firm became
astounded at an alleged apparent
shortage in the accounts of Mr.. Wells,
which have expanded variously from
100000 to $4,000, and new develop
ments are continually appearing.
1t appears that Mr.. Wells was
clothed with the fullest authority to
buy and sell lands in Sargent county

that he also was not killed. He sus.

body Is badly bruised. He is still at
Buffalo, where he will remain until
he has recovered enough to be taken
to his home in Fargo.
James r. Collins, brakeman on the
work train, who lives in Valley City
with his widowed mother, was on the
water tank when the collision broke it
from the train. The tank car ran
down a steep hill at terrific rate, and
he put the brakes on short, which
threw the tank off the truck. He
struck his head on a stake pin and
also bruised one leg. He was taken
to Casselton and his wounds dressed
by DIR. Rowe. If no serious compli.
cations set in he will recover.

Plurality,

Raleigh, N. c., May 27.-A conserva-
tive estimate of the result of the pro-
hibition election in North Carolina
gives majority of 10000 for the

fell of generally in places where pro-
hibition has been tried recently, but
nearly all such places remain "dry."
