TRAVELLING man

WORD HAS BEEN RECEIVED I'M
FARGO or THE DEATH or ]. A.
LooNEY AT PORTAL, N. D.
TRAVELLED OUT or FARGO A
NUMBER or YEARS.

This morning the firm Of Hail. Rob-
ertson q Co. received word Of the
death Of }. A. Looney, one OF the best
known travelling men In Fargo and this
section OF the state.
Some time ago Mr. Looney became
quite III and after treatment at To-
cal hospital he was improved snffi-
GENTLY to go out on the road again
Mr.. Hall sent him on q trip at Minot
and at the magic city he was taken

The remains of the popular drummer

HILDRETH FILES AS
AN INTERVIEWER
ATTORNEY FILES PAPERS IN THE
COURT As AN INTERvENoR IN
The FILTRATION BOND Case
MAKES SOME CHARGES re-.
cARDiNG THE PLANT.

Atty. M. A. Hildreth has filed his
papers in the case as an interyenor
In the action Of the city against Chas
III Mitchell In the action he takes
the place OF Mr. Mitchell as an inter-
venor.
The papers Of Mr.. Hildreth not only
appear to have action regarding the
issue OF the bonds and the certifica-
ton OF the same, but take up the old
filtration plant case. The manuscript
shows that substitutions have been
made at different places for Mitchell
and the word 'intervenor" placed
there. The document Is a long one and
considering Its content. ii Is presumed
that the great part of 1t Is the COM
plant which Mr.. Hildreth first drew
up for Mr.. Mitchell and which Mr..
Mitchell refused to sign.
1t alleges that the plans and speci-
fications and proposals for bids for the
filtration plant were void and illegal
and Of no effect. That the purported
plans and specifications did not pre-
tend to give, nor did give, sufficient
data upon which proper and efficient
bids might be made by those who de-
sired to enter into the competition for
the erection OF the filtration plant.
That the council illegally and i'm
properly passed motion authorizing
the employment of one Mr. Burdick
as an assistant engineer TO aid the
council In determining the lowest bid.
1t further claims that the motion to
have Mr.. Burdick and the FIRE and
water committee to examine the pro-
posals for bids as illegal and void.
1t claims that Mr.. Burdick illegally
and improperly purported to give
report to the city council. Further
more that the contract was let to Mr.,
Kennedy illegally, and that the con-
tract was void and illegal.
The complaint then cites from the
plans and specifications Of the city
engineer and draws certain conclusions
from certain theories expounded.
The intervenor further AYERS that
the purported bid of Mr. Kennedy was
absolutely void because the said James
Kennedy did not at any time submit
to the city council any bid for the con-
struction and erection Of said water
filtration plant as required by law, or
any bid upon which the city council
had any jurisdiction or power. 1t says
the bond issue would create an oblf-
cation beyond the powers of the city
council and place the city beyond the
debt limit as well as create burden
on said intervenor as a taxpayer.

The White Sister.

There was a packed house Satur-
day night to see The White Sister.
Many Fargoans had seen Viola Allen
In the production last year. Miss
Jeanne fowler was in the leading role
Saturday night. Naturally she is not
Miss Allen. Her work was quite
clever, barring some acectations in ao-
cent that detracted from the effec-
tiveness OF her word. Robert Wayne
as Captain Servi, was very effective
and satisfactory. The rest of the cast
was about of the calibre that would
be expected from an organization
playing on the reputation tho play
had established under great star.
