yesterday through the medium of a
light snowfall has created beneficial
conditions for the farmers which today
same as yesterday, were the talk of
the town. This morning the small
flakes fell rather thinly, but this after
noon the snow gates had been opened
widely so that the air was thick with
the snowflakes which formed a thick
wet blanket on the streets and side
walks and the proportion of water
was much greater than yesterday. The
arriving moisture is generally ap-
proved, but some folks were heard to
say that they would have felt better If
there had been some good rain show

JOHN PAULSEN IS DEAD
Former Fargoan Dies in Richmond,
Cal.-Was Fireman and Death
Followed Exposure at Fire.

Numerous Fargo friends will regret
the death of John Paulsen, formerly
of Fargo, which took place recently at
Richmond, Cal The deceased spent
the greater part Of his life in or near
Fargo and is well known here. For
the past few years he has made his
home in the west.
A Richmond paper has the following
account of his death: A wave of sim
cere grief and deep regret swept over
the entire city yesterday morning.
when 1t was learned that John Paul
sen, the we'll known assistant in the
yards of the Richmond Lumber Co.
had been suddenly called over the great
divide.
Mr.. Paulsen was thoroughly drench-
ed with water at the fire at the Alb
bott place last Tuesday morning. and
took a sudden cold. He was not
thought to be seriously i'll, but his at
tack of sickness developed into malig-
nant diphtheria, and the dread disease
ran it's course with deadly speed de-
spite the utmost efforts of the attend
ing physicians.
To prevent the spread of the dis
case, the Paulsen home was placed un-
der quarantine promptly yesterday by
the health department, although there
seems to be no tendency for the 9TH
err members of the family to be taken
down.
Mr.. Paulsen came here in the early
years Of the city and has always been
a good, industrious citizen He was a
home maker a kind father and loving
husband. Employed in the yards Of
the Richmond Lumber Co. for many
years, and treating all with whom he
came in contact with the utmost kind
ness and courtesy, he has come to have
hosts of warm friends in all parts Of
the city.
In his immediate family, to mourn
his untimely death, Mr.. Paulsen leaves
a wife and two children, Lillian, aged
is, and Heyo, aged 16.
Mr.. Paulsen was a member of Fire
Company No. 2, and that company will
attend the funeral services in a body.
He was also faithful member of El
Cerrito Camp of Modern Woodmen.
and that camp will assemble this aft
ernoon at Q o'clock at Bank hall to
make arrangements for attending the
funeral
Heyno Paulsen, the son of the de-
ceased, left this city some time ago
in company with several other boys,
to tramp to Bakersfield. Several OF
the party have returned, and an eff
fort was made yesterday to locate
the young man In the southern CITY.

MAYOR WANTS AN
INVESTIGATION
MAYOR OF cAssELToN APPEAR
ED BEFORE COUNTY COMMITS
sIoNER THIS AFTERNOON ASK
ING FOR INVESTIGATION RE-
GARDfNG ASSESSMENT.

DR.. William Sprake, the mayor OF
Casselton appeared before the board
of commissioners of Cass county this
afternoon asking that there be some
l1ind of an investigation regarding
the assessment and property sale OF
William Miner of Casselton.
According to the story of the mayor
of Casselton the city of Casselton has
been duped I'm some way or other and
he thinks that there is a niger in
the woodpile.." The city ordered
cement side walks In front Of the prop
erty of Miner, who refused to have
them placed In position.
Miner was then assessed for the
amount of the walks and neglected
payment of the same Finally there
came a time for his property to be
sold and Casselton citizens appeared
at the county auditors office to bid
on the property.
In the meantime Miner had filed
protest against the selling of the
property which he is allowed to do
according to law, and thus delay the
sale of the same. The next step in
the case was that the city of Cas-
selton received a tax receipt for the
assessment, and to the best knowledge
of Mayor Sprake, the property had
never been offered for sale.
The mayor of Casselton wants to
know why the property was not offer
ed for sale.

CANUCKS STOP
Fish in The RED


Congressman Stevenson is hot-foot
after the people of Manitoba who have
built dams in the Red River of the
North.
This is very important matter to
people of this entire section of the
country, as both the Red river and
the Red Lake river are affected. The
supply of fish in Lake Winnipeg is
very abundant. and until the dams
mentioned were built without fish
ways, the fishing was good in both
rivers. OF late there has been no
fishing to speak of excepting few
catfish, bullheads, and occasionally a
sturgeon, the latter being very scarce,
but very large when caught, one hav-
ing been caught here last year weigh
ing over 800 pounds.
If the Canadian government can be
induced to order fishways put in, and
it is believed such an arrangement
will be made, it will result in good
fishing throughout this territory in
the two rivers, and, in addition to the
added sport available, means valu-
able asset in the actual resources of
this section.
In his efforts, Congressman Steen-
erson is to be given the hearty coop
GRAFTON of the commercial clubs Of
this section and other bodies and in
dividuals in every way possible. as
the subject is recognized as of very
great importance.
