kota a few years ago from Boston
whe this particular part of the coun-
try was looked upon then as the home
of Indians, wild men and bear cats.
The day he said goodbye to his rela-
tives his brother presented him with
a large revolver saying:
Here boy, take this with you. If
you don't need it to protect your
self from wild animals and Indians,
you may want it to blow your brains
out, after you have been starving for
a week or two in that God forsaken
country.
dad" came on to North Dakota
just the same. He went to Pekin
met some Of the live boys Of the com
munity and organized a band.
About this time Mr.. Williams began
to love the land of the wild men and
bear cats" and he wrote to Boston fol-
his brother to come west and take 8
position in inneapolis at fine salary
The brother replied that he would
like to make a little more money, but
couldn't think of coming to a place
where he would surely be called upo1

TO VOTE ON CHARTER
CHANGE THIS SPRING

When the people of the city are
called upon to vote bonds for a grav-
ity water system, some time this
spring, it is presumed they will also
be asked to pass upon a change in
the city charter. 1t, is the long dis
cussed change regarding street work
and which if adopted will free the
city from the necessity Of paying for
the street intersections when paving
or macadam work is done.
Until recently it was the intention
of the city officials to withhold this
proposed charter change until next
December when the people could pass
upon it at the regular election.
However, Mayor Murphy now makes
the announcement that if the water
commissioners call a special election
to vote water bonds the administra-
tion will be ready with its proposed
charter change.
AS to the proposition of calling a
special election for voting water ponds
no definite action has yet been ta-
ken by the commissioners. According
to Commissioner ]. T. Brown, the
board is still working upon some pre-
liminary matters that must be adjust
ed before any further steps may be
taken. 1t is known though that the
board, or at least a majority of the
board, hope to have the way clear for
a vote upon the bond issue this
spring.
