ANSWER TO THE
PRICE COMPLAINT
CITY ATTORNEY sHuRE MAKES
GENERAL DENIAL or CHARGES
IN THE CASE or w. j. PRICE
AGAINST JAMES KENNEDY AND
CITY or FARGO.

w. II. Shure, city attorney OF Fargo.
has fled his answer in the case OF w.
.. Price against the city and James
Kennedy, asking FOR an injunction to
stop the work on the filtration plant
OF the city. The answer denies the
severe charges OF the plaintiff which
are OF an ugly nature claiming that
the contract and several other things
leading up to the letting of the con-
tract. were not conducted on a legiti-
mate basis.
The defendants deny each and every
charge OF the complaint and each and
every allegation In each paragraph
thereof which they do not specifically
admit. qualify or modify.
In the answer OF the defendants
there is no mention or direct answer
made to the allegations Of the plaintiff
that the defendants allowed the con-
tract in an unfair and unjust manner
The defendants deny such charges in a
broad manner and admit none OF the
more serious allegations of the plain
tiff.
1T win be remembered that the plain
tiff accused the defendants of allowing
the contract unfairly, and that there
could be no competitive bidding for the
erection and construction Of said water
filtration plant" 1t was further al
legged shat the advertisement for the
proposals OF bids for the construction
and erection Of said water filtration
plant hereinbefore set forth were in
sufficient and invalid.
The defense says that the plaintiff,
w. T. Price, was one OF the bidders;
that his bid was not the lowest or the
best bid and id was, therefore. re-
Jected; that the plaintiff (Price) ac-
cepted the rejection OF his said bid
and has taken no steps to eRforce the
same or make claim to any rights
hereunder" Furthermore, the an
swer says chat the contract was let
to James Kennedy. who was the low
est and best bidder on said filtration
plant"

N. D. LANDMARK
WAS DESTROYED

Devils Lake, ". d., Aug. ia his
toric landmark at Fort Totten was
destroyed by the flames, the origin
Of the fire being unknown. The old
mission house. which for several years
served as a church and was one OF the
original log houses at the fort was
burned to the ground. The flames were
easily discernibIe from Devils Lake.
but some difficulty was experienced In
getting word from the fort owing to
the fact that the telephone communal
cation was cut Off for a while.
Money would not replace the historic
landmark and while the real amount Of
damage done cannot be estimated, the
loss to the state and Fort Totten is
considerable. The fire occurred just
as darkness came on and those who
were on Devils lake said that 1t pre-
scented a beautiful appearance In con-
trast with the water.

N. D. FLAX CROP
TO Be EXCELLENT
G. n. WEisER, IOWA BANKER,
MADE TRIP THROUGH NORTH
WESTERN PART or STATE AND
REPORTS CROPS TO BE- IN tx
cELLENT CONDITION.

One Of Fargo's prominent visitors
today was G. H. Weiser, president Of
one Of the large banks at DEBORAH, Ia,
who was the guest. while here, of his
cousin, e. ]. Weiser, vice president of
the First National bank of this city
Mr.. Weiser had just arrived in Fargo
from a trip through the northwestern
part Of the state and his reports Of
the crop conditions in that section
were very optimistic in tone.
Around Sherwood" said Mr.. Weiser
to a Forum representative this after
noon at the First National bank. II
was quite favorably impressed with the
good crops. In fact / was quite hap
PLY surprised to find how well every
thing looked In view of what / had
been told before went up into that
part OF the state. / had been led to
expect that everything was almost a
desert wates and burned up, but such
is not the case, and the wheat, corn,
flax and potato crops are looking
splendidly."
Mr.. Weiser has interests up In the
northwestern part OF North Dakota
and generally makes trip up into this
state about this time OF the season
every year, just to look things over
and see what the conditions are for
himself. He feels that North Dakota
has been considerably misrepresented
this year and that everything looks
better than the reports which have been
circulated would indicate.
Zone OF the things that quite deep
ly impressed me-" continued Mr..
Weiser, was the decrease in the here
tofore extensive wheat crops. The
wheat looked very good around Sner-
wood and near Crosby also, but /
noticed this year more OF the farmers
have taken UP the cultivation OF corn,
which Is good indication. The North
Dakotans seem to be getting away
from the idea that this is a wheat
country only and that nothing else can
be raised up here.
The facts are that corn grows ex-
cellently up in this soil, and the crops
looked good. Perhaps the best looking
crops / saw were the extensive fields
Of flax. The fax looks splendid and
viii be the best output OF North Da-
kota this year. The potatoes look
good, too, and I was quite pleased with
conditions In general
When asked about the conditions
prevailing in the vicinity OF Bowbells,
Mr.. weiser said, Between Kenmare
and BowBeils In fact, did notice that
there had been come damage to the
crops, so that the average there cannot
reasonably be looked for. But, com
trary to what had been informed,
found that there had been not the
slightest depreciation In land values in
that part Of the country. Ii anything.
land values have gone UP, and In other
parts Of the state I visited, they are
soaring" Then he added quickly, +and
its not the kind OF sky rocket nor
bubble soaring that will fall like a
stick nor burst either"
Mr.. Weiser said he was very much
pleased with his trip through the state
this year and felt that when he re-
turned to DEBORAH, the Iowa people
would entertain different idea about
North Dakota.

The Deaths Yesterday.
The two deaths yesterday were due
to unexplained accidents.
Badger. d wealthy youth, careened
to his death in pit in the aviation
field. There had been a flaw in one
Of the wings OF the propeller of the
Baldwin machine he drove. Centri-
fugal force broke the propeller, up-
set the delicate equilibrium OF the
machine and Badger dashed 100 feet
to the bottom OF the pit, his neck be-
ing broken.
tombstone fell 500 feet under his en-
CINE and was drowned as a result
of an equally unsupported defect.
Caught under the heavy engine in his
Moissant monoplane. he was carried
deep into Lake Michigan and his body
was not brought to the surface until
an hour later.
Badger lived for three quarters of
an hour after he had been extricated
from the remains Of his engine He
did not recover consciousness and
died almost at once after he had
reached the hospital.
His death was the first serious ac-
cident on the meet, although thirty
five flyers have dipped and gIided here
for three days, and experts say several
similar accidents have been narrowly
averted.
Badger flew purely as an aviator.
He formerly drove racing automobiles.
He was stepson of John Goettnan
Of Pittsburg, and was rs years old.
He possessed an independent fortune
and gratified a well developed speed
mania. In the early days OF automo-
biles he was among the first to make
amateur records at Daytona and Palm
beach.
Badger Fell in Full View
Badger. up TO the time he fell, was
in the air hours. IS minutes ami 10
seconds.
Badger fell just in front OF the CEN
ter of the grandstand and thousands
of spectators were within a few hum
dred yards of the accident. Hundreds
ieaped the fence. fought past the line
OF police and rushed into the pit where
the wrecked biplane lay. There was
near panic In the fiela and numerous
heads were cracked by police clubs.
Badgers mother died recently. and no
far as Ii known his stepfather. Goett-
man, is his only survivor.
Johnstone's accident was due, ac-
cording TO expert aviators. to q SINH
lar unsuspected flaw In the mechan-
ism OF his monoplane. Just what it
was probably will never be known, az
the engine Is deep In the lake and the
wood and canvas OF the plane were
broken and scattered by the tremen-
dous impact with the surface or the
water.

Charity: Are you charitably inclined?" Yes, Prescott has a goodly lot of people in her do main, that are always willing tc lend aid and succor to those who are in need and afflicted, and worthy of the consideration ot those who give. This fact has been demonstrated here this week, and in this office by oul "Whole-souled" Mayor, who ren. dered his Charity to a young couple from Texas, who became stranded here and on their way to Tennessee. And also an old lady with five children. on her way to Malvern. But those who refuse to assist those in need, are "Grouchers" pure and simp- le, and will never enter the King dom of Heaven.

JUDGE CARTER

We notice that Judge J. M. Carter is a candidate for Con. gress from the Fourth congress- ional District, now represented by Hon. Ben Cravens. of Fort Smith. Judge Carter has been on the bench of this district for the past two terms. and it is the general opinion that he has made one of the best Judges the dis trict ever had. He had served as prosecuting attorney of the district and made an ideal prose- cutor. He has many friends in this district that regret very much the fact that in redistrict- ing the state that he was cut out of this congressional district, but they are highly in hopes that his race in the Fourth will be re- warded with success.
 Judge Carter is one of the braniest young lawyers in the state and if he is luckey enough to get the plum, the fourth dis trict and the state of Arkansas can feel proud of the fact that theyhave in their National Con- gress, a man of the people and one that will ever look after their interests.
 Here's hoping Judge that you will win out in this political aspirations of which your many friends in Old Nevada know that you are worthy.
