The North Dakota State Elks asso-
citation ended it's convention here yes
terday evening with a social session
at the parlors on Second avenue and
all are unanimous in saying that 1t
was one of the most orderly conven-
tions ever held in the city.
The boys have gone and left moth
ing but pleasant memories. They had
a good time, and nothing Of dis
agreeable nature took place during the
two days the 1900 or more visitors
were here. 1t was a well behaved,
good looking crowd of men and they
were complimented on every side for
the manner in which they conducted
themselves as we'll as for the manner
in which everything took place. The
parade was all that was expected of 1t
and good deal more, for it was rev.
elation to the people of Fargo, and the
applauding that was given all along
the line of march on both sides of the
river showed that the people appre-

Washington, June 6.With four
American battleships steaming toward
Guantanamo, the force of marines im-
mediately available for, the protection
of foreign life and property in Cuba,
will be increased to, more than 1,500.
Altogether the battleships Minnesota,
Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio, the
fourth division of the Atlantic fleet
which put out from Keywest late yes
terday under command of Rear Adj
miral Usher, have on board nearly 500
marines. These ships should arrive at
Guantanamo some time tomorrow.
The cruiser Prairie which already
has landed $50 marines under the COM
mand of Colonel Lucas, has about $50
on board. The four battleships of the
third division of the Atlantic fleet still
at KeyWest, with Rear Admiral Os-
terhous on the flagship Washington,
have nearly 1000 more marines which
could be moved to Cuba in a little
more than a day if the situation should
demand.
Roughly this places the number of
marines Immediately available at
about 1900 and the reserve force at
Keywest at 1000. The combined forces
of bluejackets on all the ships, how :
ever easily would swell the total
American force available to more than
$500 men.
1t is estimated 1000 marines are
fully equivalent to five times that
number of Cuban regular soldiers.

SAYS HUSBAND
BECAME CRUEL
WHEN WEALTHY

New York, June 6.-Frederick H.
Crandell, who is said to have received
$2,00O,OO0 from the estate of his un-
Gle, the late Edwin Hawley found
himself defendant today in a suit for
separation brought by his wife, Mrs.
Adeline Crandell, charging him with
abandonment, cruelty and non-support.
1t was because of Crandel's in
fatuation for Mrs. Crandell, formerly
Miss McManus, a telegraph operator
in the Southern Pacific offices, where
Crandell was also employed, that Haw-
ley severed all relations with his
nephew. With the railroad mans
death, however, Crandell came in for
a share of the fortune, Hawley having
died intestate.
In her complaint Mrs. Crandell re-
cites much of the alleged cruelty on
the part of her husband took place in
the last few months, or after he had
come into affuence. They have five
children.

fraternities on

one Of the grandest fraternities on
earth.
They were a lively bunch, but at all
times gentlemanly and there are no
sore spots anywhere. While all OF
the programme at the fair grounds
was not carried out, it was through
no fault Of either the members of the
local organization, nor yet of those
who were to perform, but the failure
was due to the wind.
The farewelis were said yesterday
evening and last night they were
hearty and many were the expressions
that were heard from the visitors to
the effect that what Fargo undertakes
she does well. and that eve all had
a good time" and couldn't have
been better"
At the Fair Grounds.
There were probably 1000 people out
at the fair grounds yesterday after
noon to see the field sports Of the EIks
and while everything was not pulled
off, still there was plenty of fun and

5. D. RESULTS
ARE IN DOUBT
Both Candidates Claim Sena-
toriaI Nomination

Sioux Falls. June 6:--Today the re-
suit of the contest for the senatorial
nomination in South Dakota is in
doubt with victory claimed by both
Thomas Sterling and Gamble. Gamble
claims to have won by not less than
$500. The Sterling men claim 5000
over Gamble, with Richards third. The
returns received show the following
republicans nominated:
Congressmen-Eben w. Martin, in
cumbent; Charles II. Burke, incumb-
ent, G. H. Dillon.
Governor-Franlk NJ. Byrne.
Lieutenant Governor-E. L. Abel
Secretary of State-E'red HepperIe,
(not conceded.)
State Treasurer--A. w. Ewart, (not
conceded by G. H. Pincknel, his OPP
ponent)
Railroad Commissioner-John j,
Murphy, (not conceded by four oppon-
ents.) .
Member Republican National Com
mittee-Thomas Thorsen, incumbent,
(not conceded by ]. f. Halliday, op-
ponent.)
out opposition:
Attorney General-Royal C. Johnson,
State Auditor-Henry B. Anderson.
/ Commissioner of School and Public
Lands-F. F. Brinkler.
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
| tion-C. G. Lawrence.
All Of the foregoing are progressive
republicans with the exception of Con-
gressmen Martin and Burke, and e. l..
Abel, who are classed as stalwart re-
publicans.
The republican nominees for mern~
bers OF the state supreme court are in
doubt. Returns Of the democratic con-
gressional and state tickets very mea-
ger. The only one reasonably sure OF
being nominated is Edward s. john
son, for governor.
