KEPT ALIVE HERE
FARMERS SUPPLY HOUSE CLAIMS
70 HAVE KILLED LOCAL GRO
cERY TRUST AND TO HAVE
KEPT IT FROM GAINING FOOT.
HOLD IN THE CITY

THAT there is no grocers' trust In
Fargo today is due to the strenuous
fight the Farmer Supply House fought
some years ago." said their manager
TO The Forum representative. Some
ten years ago a combination was
formed to boost prices of groceries and
provisions.
The Farmers Supply, House broke the
combination here. The grocers, trust.
in Fargo, would have had absolute con-
troll Of process If the. Farmers Suppl
House had not come to. the rescue. Al
conference Of the members. of the trust
was held; a petition was drawn IN
asking the jopbers. to refuse. to sell to
insurgents, but the jobbers were pow
erless to stop 1t.
Various members Of the trust were
one by one forced to meet the prices
advertised by Farmers Supply House
and slowly the organization died a
natural death.
Ever since the Farmers Supply
House has kept competition alive
among the grocers OF Fargo by selling
goods almost at wholesale.

swept back by volleys from the gov
eminent forces.
The main trouble eliminated after
dark, when the word spread through
the city that President Diaz and Vice
President Corral had not resigned In
| accordance with public expectation.
The chamber Of deputies was the first
| scene Of clamorous manifestation and
this soon spread to the neighboring
quarters.
Toward 0 o'clock the mob demon-
stration was at its height. Shouts for
Madero were heard everywhere, and
professions moved through the lead
ing streets bearing huge portraits OF
the revolutionary leader. Efforts to
check the fury of the out break were
made by Madero's personal represen-
tative, Alfred Robles Doringuez, but
the disorder continued finding its chief
center in front of the presidential
palace.
Aiming themselves with rocks, the
mob bombarded nearby buildings. in
Guiding newspaper offices. A large
force Of troops were hurried TO the
scene of the disturbance and a Cor
don was thrown about the presidential
palace.
Foreign Minister De La Barra issued
an official statement this morning that
President Diaz and Vice President
Corral would resign this afternoon
and that the provisional government
would thereupon assume authority.
