ulation of the Melilla garrison was
still rejoicing today over the cap

Moors, but the tribesmen were easily
repulsed. The Spanish loss was two
wounded. Two Moors were made
prisoners. simultaneously, Beni-Bui-
frur tribesmen appeared in large
numbers on the neighboring heights,
but disappeared under the rain of
shells and machine gun fire.

Earthquake Rocks Houses and

tana Points-No Damage Done

From western parts of Montana to
Dickinson and even points east of here.
very perceptible seismic disturbance
was felt shortly after 9 o'clock Saturday
evening. 1t was plainly observed by a
large number and the two distinct
shocks of several seconds duration
caused lot of excitement in many
homes. Dishes ratified, houses shook
and many were frightened. Stories
of quite a disturbance are told by many
people in the residential section and
in some cases the more timid ones
rushed from their homes expecting the
buildings were about to fall.
People on the second story report the
swayins Of the walls. 1t was felt
quite plainly in the Elk hall and other
parts of the business section. At
the telegraph Office there was probably
the most real trouble and the wires
were greatly disturbed for a short time.
Paul Koch tells of quite q little excite
ment at the German hotel on the South
Side. His wife and daughter were
alone in the kitchen when the dishes
commenced to rattle.
A second shock increased the noise
and the dishes on shelf were nearly
knocked to the floor. They were greatly
frightened and started to leave the house
when the disturbance ended.
The earthquake seemed to be most
severe from here west. At Glendive
dished ratified. and a number in the
Masonic temple rushed out, thinking
it was about to- fall. In more distan,
points of Montana the shock was quite
severe and at Helena wall of a resi-.
dence was thrown down. East of here
the shock was little felt. Fargo reports
a slight disturbance there.

JUNIORS GIVE UNIQUE
PARTY FOR SENIORS

The seniors of the high school will
have as one of the pleasantest memories
of their high school days, the reception
given them by the juniors at the home
Of Miss Margezy Cuske]ly Saturday even
ing. The affair was quite elaborate
and every detail was carefully looked
after by the juniors, combining to
make the evening one long to be re-
menabered.
The house was decorated in maroon
and gold, the senior colors, and in
yellow and black, the school colors.
Bunting was used and innumerable
banners and school sofa pillows scattered
around the rooms gave c0zy and at
tractive air. ..
The evening was spent in playing
games and contests. A peanut race was
full of excitement and the awarding of
the prizes caused lots of fun. All had
their TO, tune told. with bright ones fol
the seniors who will so soon 60 out
into the world. The rest of the tune
was spent IN playing the ever popular
DANES.
The luncheon was the crowning feature
ifIf the evening. Each Of the three
|itourses carried out to large extent
it.sented no end OF work. The sand
witches were tied with ribbons, there
were orange baskets with maroon jelly.
l.and even the ice cream was in maroon
and gold. It was an artistic menu in
every detail.
Those present included Nellie Dins-

UP 70 CITIZENS
Question Of Memorial Day Oh.
serxiance Rests With Them
Dickinson Should Not Be
Lacking in Patriotism.

. Is Dickinson to observe Memorial day,
the day set apart for honorine the sur
vivnrs Of the Civil war and in memory
OF the dead veterans7 Up to the present
time no plans or arrangements have
been made for any, recognition Of the
day in this city. Last year the few
veterans in Dickinson and vicinity, all
of whom are id the seventies. stated
that it was the last time they would
look after the arrangements OF the day,
that In the future whatever notice was
taken of Memorial day in Dickinson
would have to be instigated by the
citizens. They are. W illine to assist
in carrying out any plans and will do
all they can to make them a success.
: This leaves the matter up TO the citi-
zens Of Dickinson. Within eight days
Of Memorial day, not a thing has been
done toward proper observance of
day which is recognized as q hallowed
occasion in every nook and corner of
the United States. it will not speak
well for the patriotism of Dickinson to
let Memorial day pass by without a
single event 10 mark the day, without
q single honor paid to the heroes who
lie in their graves out in the cemetery
OF single mark of respect to the hand
full of vet ersms who are still among as
but whose ranks are growing thinner
each year. sj ,s 4 * 2,
Il In speaking with one of the veterans
this week the suggestion was made
that Co. < and the Commercial Clu
take up the matter. It is duty which
the city owes to these men and the tire
is all too short now so to arrange aay
kind of q memorial will require prompt
action. Let it not be said that the
only way Dickinson observed Mesnoa1al
day was wi tn a baseball game.

The first session of district court for
Stark county since it was placed in the
tenth judicial district convened at the
court house Tuesday with Judge W. c.
Crawford of this city on the bench.
The calendar is a long one and the

between the towns. of Schafer and Alex.
ander took another turn Tuesday after
noon when the question of issuing an
injunction on the county officers to pre-
vent moving their Offices to Alexander
as ordered by the county commissioners
last January, was argued before Judge

decision was reserved.
Three prominent tax payers of Schafer
have asked for an injunction to be

Schafer and Alexander was representnA
by judge Edward 'Engrud of Fargo and
Attorney Robert Norheim of Ale1ander.
MIR. Bangs argument brought out tie
following points. That the designating

OF LOCAL INTEREST

THEY FOUGHT-The police were corner of First and Washington last evening about 4 o'clock, where two MeXicans had come to words, blows, and cuts. No one was seriously in iured save feelings and a slight gash on the nose and wrist of one of the brawlors.
 THEY HAD CHIckEN-The force at Donofrio's candy kitchen was taken to the French Kitchen Sunday night and given a chance to indulge in a generous chicken supper. given l.' Mr. Donofrio. It is unnecessary b say that they enjoyed it. MT. Don ofrio has a way of holding the re gard and good will of his clerlIing force that is seldom seen.
 WOULD LIKE INFoRMATIoN- The police are in receipt of a letter from Milwaukee from William Nc Pherson, which asks for the where abouts of his brother Duncan. Mir. McPherson states that he is his only relative and has not been seen for six years. the last time being in Marquette, Mich, when he talked of going west Duncan McPherson Was a volunteer in the 34th Michigan, Company L.; was rather heavy set, muscular, feet, 9 inches, forty-fivc years old, grey hair.
 REGARDING THE FIRE DEPART MENT-A. F. Brown, with the Came well Fire Alarm System company. was in Phoenix yesterday taking up business matters with the council and department relative to the changing Of the gravity system to the storage. The Gamewell company installed the present system over eighteen years ago and naturally is interested in the city having the up to date con veniences, especially when it means a saving to the treasury. Mir. Brown believes that in the long run the storage system will be less expensive, will be a saving in insulation alone inside of two or three years. He stated that all the larger cities have placed a ban on the gravity and are adopting the storage, knowing that a permanent saving is the real saving. Mir Brown is a jolly good fellow to meet DOln m DuSlHeSS anu SOCleli way as well. There probably is not another man in the west today so crammed full of fire stories.
 THE BIGGEST BANQUET OF ALL There was another of those elegant mulligan banquets at the sheriff fs office last night, directed by Deputy Sheriff Davis. with a corps of com petent assistants. This banquet laid it all over preceding ones, both in the character of the viands and in the attendance Nothing in Phoenix has "evoluted" faster than these ban quets, which at first were informal. There were not even spoons and knives Next these convenient, if not absolutely necessary utensils. were in troduced. and then came the plates, and regular banquet table. An en- tirely new feature was introduced last night Bernals orchestra of several pieces, and a program which lasted throughout the function. As the fame of these banquets spread invitations were eagerly sought after until last
