son and City Clerk Foster Of two suits
for damages claimed from the city Of

would be on nie III the district court
this week, and hearing would be given
at the November term Of the Hardin
county court. In the action brought
by Clarence Oler, w. H. Courtney,
councilman from the Fourth ward, is
made a defendant. Oler claims $50 be-
cause Of an alleged. defect in high
way on the east side, resulting in an
accident in which plaintiff lost horse.
Mr. Courtney is made co-defendant,
presumably, because the road on which
the accident occurred is private road
and a notice is posted to that effect
and that people venture thereon on
their responsibility.
In the other action, Mary Bronson IL
plaintiff and she. claims 5000, basing
her claim on a statement that her SON,
with whom she was riding, drove into
a water ditch, throwing them out and
resulting insinjury to their vehicle, as

,E'e =
Numbers Especially Pleasing. ~.

One of the largest crowds that
ever assembled in the hall at St.
Mary's school was present Monday
evening at the program rendered
complimentary to Father Clemens.
There were musical and literary num-
bers galore and each was given with
a degree Of proficiency that was, as
tonishing in local talent and in some
cases the younger performers really
outdid any former efforts witnessed
in the state. The program included
songs; recitations, action songs and
Rotations instrumental musical
numbers, drills, motion pictures, dia-
iogues and wound up with a grand
tableau "St. Clement in Glory" To
say that those who were present
were pleased is putting it mildly as
to judge from the applause that fol-
lowed every number. There have
been few entertainments in the city
that have given such universal sat
isfaction. It would be impossible to
give individual mention to the DIFF
ferent people who took part and 1t
must suffice here to say that each one
did their best and that best WAS fine.
If the pupils of the school ever pull
off another entertainment 1t will be
well for them to make arrangements
for more seating room as they are
sure to be greeted with a big crowd.

carried out: III. 5s5

MOUNTRAlL COUNTY IS
COLLECTING GRAIN NOTES

Stanley, Nov. 22.-County Auditor
VIM. c. Glib. of Mountrail county,
has been doing a rushing business
during the past week collecting seed
grain contracts that were made with
large number of farmers of this
county last spring. Last spring when
the question of issuing seed grain to
the farmers came before the commits
sioners, that body acquiesced to the
demand and issued something like
$40, 900 of seed lien contracts. The
seed lien contract money is being
paid without a question by all who
benefited by the law and it is the
belief of the county officials that
there will be no difficulty in collect
ing the entire amount that was used
for that purpose by the county. The
contract given at the time that the
seed was furnished acts as a; lien on
the grain and must be paid before
the farmers receiving the benefit can
dispose of their crops. The crop
throughout Mountrail county has
been fair one in every way and this
has greatly aided the farmers in
meeting their obligations with the
county. In conversation with Audi.
tor Glib we learn that some $751;
131. ~ of the seed contract money has
already been paid in and that pay
fments along this line areSgeing made

BEACH PROVES TO Be
One OF THE GREATEST
MARKETS OF The WORLD.

F, .A. .. -= r.
Beach Chronicle: Have you any
idea OF the Importance of Beach as
grain market? . $$ 5s.z } u
+ When the Chronicle, few weeks
ago, made the claim that Beach this
year. would be the largest primary
grain receiving station In the Unit
ed States. there were many who
thougt the statement bold one, to-
put it mildly. E
Other places In this and other
states vigorously disputed the claim
but we still are confident that Beach
will make good our prediction.
The disbursements OF the three
banks of this city on grain checks
exclusively this season up to last Sat.
urady night aggregated the tidy sum
of SIT, e21 100, and when 1t is consid-
cred that q large amount of grain
is still unthreshed. and that vast
quantities OF oats and wheat are
being held for better prices, the
Chronicles wild claim doesn't ap.
pear so very wild, after all.
