MINORS LID FITS TIGHT.
New Mayor Gives City a Sample Of
Law Enforcement.

Minot people are being treated to
a surprise. Instead of being obliged
to endure a lidless town for the next
two years they are beginning to dis
cover that the lid is to be very much
in evidence. In the recent mayoraIty
fight the principal argument used
against Clark, who won, was that he
was the candidate of the sporting ele-
ment and that the town would be
wide open if he was elected. More
than thirty days have elapsed since
the election. In that time every
wholesaler handling beer in the city
has stopped all sale of beer, the po-
lice state that there is not a blind pig
running in the city, the social evil has
been segregated in N we'll policed
locality and the gambling dens have
been closed tight. In addition to this
Mayor Clark instituted a street clean
ing campaign that cost over $1,000,
but which resulted in a marked i'm
provement in the appearance of the
streets and alleys. He has ordered
the hacks. which We're wont to make
their headquarters on the principal
corners, off the streets, has arrested
two draymen who refused to comply
with his orders and has instructed the
city attorney to defend four suits
which have e brought against the
city by peanut vendors who were or
dered off the sidewalks. His admin
%istration is meeting with no opposi-
tion.
The curfew law which has hereto
fore been a dead letter is being rigid
ly enforced as are the laws governing
the sale of tobacco to minors.

EIGHT PEOPLE ARE KILLED
Scores of Others Injured by
Several Tornadoes.

Woodward, Okla, May 12.-At least
eight persons We're killed and scores
of others were injured by several tor
nadoes in Northwestern Oklahoma.
The dead are:
j. e. Hale, Little Robe, Ellis coun-
ty: Mrs. j. e. Hale, Little Robe, Ellis
county; two unknown persons, Arnett,
Ellis county; DR.. j. Howser, Wei,
Woodward county; Arthur Sibel, Mu-
tual, Woodward county; William
Hand, Estelle, Major county; Mrs.
Young, Selling, Dewey county.
The nearest points to Woodward
that the storm struck is at Mutual,
five miles away. The most distant is
Little Robe. in Ellis county, fifty-five
miles southwest of this place. The
disaster seems to have consisted of
a succession of tornadoes occurring
between . o'clock and 10 o'clock p. M.
They appeared first in the western
part of the devastated district and
moved toward the east.
The most serious results were in
the vicinity of Arnett, where fully
thirty persons are believed to have
received broken limbs. The only
town known to have been destroyed is
Wei in the southern part of Wood
ward county, where it is said there is
not a house left standing.

FARGO WANTS MONUMENT
Will Try to Have the Wergland Me-
mortal Located There.

There is a possibility that the
Wergland monument may be located
in Fargo instead of Abercrombie.
There may be a change in the plans
since the monument has been donated
by the citizens of Norway, instead of
being paid for by the Wergland Monu-
ment association of this state as was
planned. DR.. H. o. Fjelde of Aber-
crombie was the originator of the idea
to erect a monument to Wergland in
this country. Through his efforts an
association Vas organized to raise the
funds and the monument was made.
1t will be presented to the people of
the United States by Bishop Bang,
primate Of the Norwegian church, in
the Auditorium in Minneapolis, May
IL.
The people of Norway sprang a sur
prise by presenting the monument to
their countrymen in the United States.
Everything, including the freight, was
prepaid. The only condition they i'm
pose is that TIE monument be erected
in some place where it will be readily
accessible to Norsemen in This coun-
try. Abercrombie is not advantageous
ly situated in this respect and Fargo
Norwegians have started a movement
to get the monument for Fargo in re
turn for which they will cooperate
with Abercrombie to secure another
monument for that place.
The city council of Fargo has asked
for it, and sites are offered by the city
in Island park, and by the North Da'
kota Agricultural college on its cam
puS.

PITTSBURG CASHIER JAILED
Accused of Looting Bank of Almost
Half a Million,

P%ittsburg, May S.-Nilliam Mont
gomery, cashier Of the Allegheny Ma
tional bank for over twenty years, was
arrested on a charge of embezzling
$429,000 of the banks funds. He was
arraisned before United States Com
missioner Lindsay and held for the
federal grand jury under a bond OF
$4,000, which was furnished.
The financial standing of the bank
is in nowise affected by the defalca-
ton, rs it is in a position to bear the
loss without embarrassment.
The alleged defalcation was discov-
cred and the complaint filed by Ma
tional Bank Examiner William l..
Folds. Soon after the close of bank
ing hours the warrant was issued and
the arrest followed.
According to Examiner Folds the
populations have gone en- for several
years and were covered up on the oc-
casion of each visit of the examiners
by Means of a cashiers check.
Mr.. Montgomery has always been
prominent in politics and was a close
friend of the late Senator Quay. He
was also prominent socially. News of
his arrest came as a shock to his ac-
quaintances and caused a sensation.

BIG VESSEL A TOTAL LOSS
Crew Taken OFF Ship After Hope Was
Abandoned.

New York, May S.-Seventy-two
men who for more than twenty-four
hours had been facing death in the
raging sea near Fire island were res
cued from the crumbling hulk OF the
big German ship Peter Rickmers. The
rescue was effected after one of the
most trying experiences the l~ifesavers
on this exposed coast had ever been
called upon to face. No less than a
dozen times hope of saving the men
Oh the doomed ship vas all but aban-
doned and it was only the easing of
the gale and terrific sea that made
rescue possible. Fortunately not a
man was lost and it is believed that
not one of them suffered any per-
manent harm as a result of their long
fight against death. The great steel
ship, one of the finest sailing vessels
that Yer rode the sea, is a total
wreck. Her bow and stern have been
completely torn off by the waves, her
masts were ripped out, her Lighthouses
and bridge swept away and she is full
of water. She is lying far back on
the bar and it is unlikely ever that
any effort will be made to tow her to
deep water again.

BURGLARS ARE BUSY.
Blow a Safe, Hold UP Street Car and

A safe blown, a street car held up
and robbed and a residence entered is
the record of crimes committed in
Fargo in three hours.
Two masked men held up a conduc-
tor and motorman on the Sacred
Heart academy line of the street rail-
way. At the terminal of the line it
is the custom to switch the trolley
around, momentarily leaving the car
in darkness. While the street car
men were doing this two masked men
sprang from a side of the street and
with drawn revolvers compelled their
victims to give up their money. Less
than $40 was secured. Discharged
railway employees are suspected.
The safe of the Washburn Ignite
Coal company Office was shattered, but
not a cent was obtained.
The home of I. P. Clapp on the
south side of the city was entered

Washington, May 12.-Under splen-

full spring weather, the cornerstone
was laid of the proposed home for the
International Bureau of American Re
publics, or as Secretary Root APPLY
called it, "a temple dedicated to inter

persons, including representatives of
political, official and social life in
Washington, were interested specta-
Tors of the ceremony. The decora-
lions were in keeping with the occa-
sion. Flags and colors of tw%enty-one
American republics floated in the
breeze V e the grandstands, while
the coats of arms of these countries
were displayed at many places about
the stands. Over the speakers por-

colors of the United States and Brazil.
The latter in honor of Ambassador

During the ceremony the flags of

represented were hauled aloft.

Injunction Dissolved.

Judge Charles F. Templeton OF
Grand Forks dissolved the injunction
restraining the commissioners of Nc
Kenzie county from erecting a court
house at Schaefer. A temporary in
junction had been issued some time
ago restraining the commissioners.
The injunction was secured by A. E.
Maderson, deputy sheriff of Mckenzie
county, who is in sympathy with Alex
ander, the rival town seeking the
county seat. AS a result of the de-
cision of Judge Templeton the con
tract for the new courthouse will be
let at an early date and the work will
be rushed as rapidly as possible. A
short time ago a large part of the
town of Schaefer was burned, togeth-
er with temporary quarters of the
county officers. The need of a court
house is therefore greater than ever.
