EDUCATED KIDS HERE
Big Attraction Secured for Last Half Of
Week at the Savoy-MarveIs of
Education.

Tonight at the Savoy family theatre,
Manager Rolph has secured an unusu-
ally interesting and educational fea-
ture, in the educated Kids Of Professor
Stanley. Professor Stanley has at
tracted much press notice by the al
most human stunts" Of his angora
kids. They are a marvel of education
and patience. You have seen animal
stunts" Of all kinds. but you have
never seen a performance such as will
be seen at the Savoy tonight. Man
ager Rolph was very fortunate In get
ting this attraction for Fargo, and ma
turally the expense was greater for an
act of this kind.
The moving pictures this evening
will be entirely new, and you will en-
joy them as much, If not more than
any you ever saw in any city. not ex-
cepting Chicago and New York. A
Bashful Son, one of the pictures. Is
especially good. Another. The Sage
Brush Phrenologist, is a farcial, cow
boy comedy, and a laugh from the
start.
Manager Rolph also announces that
each lady attending the Savoy theatre
Friday evening viii be presented with
copy of late song hits. This feature
alone is worth more than the charge
for admission, which is only 10 cents,
so be sure and attend the Savoy Fri
day night.

Make SURVEY OF
PARK PROPERTY
ENGINEER ANDERs is MAKING A
SURVEY or THE GROUND IN
THE OAK GROVE PARK SITE
PARK PROPERTY ALONG THE
RIVER NOW COMPLETE.

Frank L. Anders. the city engineer,
and force of men from his office
have Just completed making a survey
OF the land secured by the park COM
mission of the city along the river
south OF Fargo. The surveyors check
ed UP all Of the property on the
Darling farm which runs along the
river and this will be measured off to
become the permanent property. Of the
park commission.
The park board recently purchased
the property along the river for the
purpose of making a boulevard on the
south of town. The bank OF the stream
will be beautified and every effort made
to make the drive a most artistic one.
At the present time the city en-
gineer and assistants are working on
the property in Oak Grove that was
recently acquired by the park COM
mission. Because Of the fact that the
Oak Grove park site Is rather oddly
shaped, the task of making the survey
is not an easy one. 1t will be some
time before the work is completed.
The city engineer and his stan Of
assistants are doing the greater part OF
the work after their regular working
hours and are putting in extra time on
the park surveys. The work on the
city streets is requiring all OF the reg
ular time of the engineers.

candidates were successful in the ex-
animation for registered pharmacists,
fifteen successful for registered as

one and was covered rapidly owing to
the intensity Of the weather, which
would necessarily tend to prolong it
for a day longer than would have been
otherwise necessary. The members

leisurely rather than with too much
haste at this season.

ALLOW RAMnES
TO HOLD Land
THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AT
WASHINGTON UPHOLD LAND
SALE WHICH ALLOWS MAT
HAMMEs TO HOLD GROUND HE
PURCHASED AT PUBLIC SALE.

G. c. Schuyler OF the Fargo U. S.
land office received communication
this morning from washington sus-
tanning the contested gale ~ land pur-
chased by Mat Hamr-es last spring.
Joel Nelson OF Kidder county had
the government put up an isolated tract
of land for sale. The tract was about
forty acres on a lake In Kidder coun-
ty and adjoins the land of Nelson.
Nelson came to Fargo on the day
that the land was sold and appeared at
the land office some time before the
hour set for the sale. AS the ground
was about to be sold, j. J. Jordan Of
the office, called in Nelson, Hammes
and a representative of The Forum,
who were the only men who were pres-
ent to bid on the land. The land was
placed on sale In the usual manner
and Hammes purchased II for $3.50 ali
acre, Nelson not bidding.
Hammes then signed the proper pa
pers, paid over the money and went on
elevator in the federal building. Nell
son fingered about the land office for
some time, when finally Mr.. Schuyler
asked him IL there was anything else
that he wanted
Nelson replied that he wanted to bid
on the land, that had just been sold.
Schuyler informed him that he should
have done that when the auction was
going on, but that it was too late then.
Nelson then stated that he was not
given a chance to bid, although the
testimony of everyone in the office was
such that 1t was shown that he was
given every opportunity anyone would
need.
The disappointed Kidder county
farmer then consulted Attorney Cupler
who took the matter up with the gov
eminent. 1t developed that Nelson was
very hard of hearing and although he
had been present at the land sale, his
defective auditory senses caused him
not to know that the sale was going
on at that time. He explained the
situation to d. d. Mckee Of the Capital
State bank, who also took the matter
up with the government.
According to the decision from
Washington the sale will not be made
Hammes will be allowed to hold his
tract of land.
Everything about the sale was con-
Quoted In the usual manner and the
highest bidder secured the property,
Hammes being the successful man. The
protest cast no reflection upon the To-
cal landoffice officials but was merely
an unfortunate affair Of Nelson not
being able to hear, and did not take
the precaution to have representa-
tive present at the sale to act for him
