REV, C0MPSON
REC0NSIDERS after
MONEYS PLEDGES
(SpecjaI to the Tribune)

OMEMEE, N. D., July 25-Rev.
Compson announced on Sunday even
ing that it was his last sermon in One
NEE, as he was forced to leave on ac-
count of the Presbytery notifying him
that it would be impossible to give
him the supp port they at first had prom
ised him. At the close of the service
a few of the Christian workers of both
the Presbyterian and Methodist
churches and few others held hur-
ried consultation and decided to make
the effort to raise the amount of sal
ary promised him independent of the
Presbytery. A committee was ap-
pointed to take the matter up with
our people and on making a canvas
of the town on Monday morning met
with such hearty response that the
necessary amount was pledged in short
order. Rev. Compson was asked to
reconsider his decision which, consid-
ering the way the people rallied to his
support, he has decided to do. and he
asks the earnest cooperation of all in
his work.

Mr.. Van Horn is looking in the best

Everything hinged on the passage

IS held IN M|N0T
Especial to the Tribune)

MlNOI, n. D., July 25-W. E.
Clark, who claims to be a Socialist,
but who is repudiated by the Mnot
Socialists, was arrested last night on
a charge of striking Mic Thlgren, the
500 policeman, in the 500 yards about
two O'Clock this morning.
Clark made some fiery speeches on
First street last night He stated that
the police had stopped him from
speaking at the corner of Main and
First streets. His speech was full OF
denunciation of society in general and
the business men and police of Minot
in particular.
This morning he was found in the
500 freight yards. Policeman Mic
Ihllgren asked him what he was do
ing and before the conversation ended
it is alleged that Clark struck him.
The Minot Socialists claim that
Clark did not speak under the auspices
of the Minot local. They maintain
that Clark is too radical and unreason-
able and that they refused to have
anything to do with his appearance in
the Magic City.
Our speakers are all speaking un-
der the auspices of regular lecture
bureau said Minot Socialist TODAY.
Our regular authorized speaker, T. E.
Latimer of Chicago, will be in Minot

Devils LAKE

WASHINGTON, July 24-Willis L.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
returned to his office Saturday after a
two weeks inspection trim of stations
at St. Paul, Chicago, Fargo and else
where in the northwest. One of his

Devils Lake.
1.-The lake has receded six miles," he
said. II rode in an automobile over
territory six miles wide, formerly a
part of the bed of the lake. Its shrink
ing is due to the breaking up of lands
around it for cultivation. The soil
now absorbs the water which formerly
ran down into the lake.
Il said in lecture to farmers in
that neighborhood that they are now
carting away Devils Lake and selling it
through their wheat elevators
