Public Ownership Party Claim That
They Are Entitled to One Judge
In Each Of Four Wards
DECISION MAY END THE CASE
# Judge Holds in Favor Of Council
Socialists Will Probably Let
Matter Drop

Having been adjourned from last
evening until this morning, because
of the fact that Judge Wright did
not understand that there were to
be any questions Of fact to be brot
out and did not bring his court stem
ographer, the writ of mandamus case
brought against L. F. Johnson and
others, comprising the city council,
by F. M. Malzahn, in behalf of the
Socialists of Bemidji, was taken up
at 10 o'clock.
Attorney Weber for the Socialist
opened the case by asking that para
graphs 3, 4 and 6 of the defendants
answer be stricken from that docu-
ment, which motion was overruled
by Judge Wright, and the exception
noted.
George Stein was called as a wit
ness, and in answering questions tes-
titled that he is the city clerk of the
city Of Bemidji and has been for the
past year. He also told what his
duties as city clerk consisted.
Through Mr.. Stein, Mp. Weber in
stroduced into the testimony certi-
fcates Of nomination Of the Socialists
at the 1911 election, he evidently
wishing to prove that the party
which he represented took part in
that election. 4.
: F. M. Malzahn, who is the Socialist
candidate for mayor, was next called
and he testified that he was Socia-
list and that he had in his possession
the charter showing that the Be-
midji local was a member of the
state Socialist party,
Other witnesses called were DR..
Larson, and John Ziegler both So
cialists.
1t is not likely the decision of
Judge Wright will have any bearing
on the election to be held next Tues
day, as the Socialists will probably
let the matter drop if decided against
them, while the council will appeal,
thereby taking it over the election.
At the conclusion of the case this
afternoon, Judge Wright, who will
leave tomorrow morning for his
home in Park Rapids said that he
would probably decide the matter to-
morrow and would mail his decision.

the early days it was one Of the best
trading points in Hardin county, sur
rounded as it was by rich farming
country. The pioneers of this section
settled along the banks of the Iowa
river. believing. as had their forefath-
ers, that the best farms were made
from the soil that would produce tim

mammoth trees. In the eighties Ell

known as the Chicago. Iowa & Da-
kota railway" intersecting the North

place called Eldora Junction. With the
growth Of Eldora about this time the
town Of Xenia became extinct and the
place was called Secor, in honor OF
Eugene Secor, Of Forest City, who.

for the launching of this new railway.
Today only few buildings remain

stone building which was used as
mill for years and where the first
wheat to feed the pioneers Of this sec

razed to the ground. Long after the
town of Xenia was no more and when
the place later called Secor had be-
come a pasture lot for farmers cattle
