Board of Health. The report shows
that there were 722 births in the
state and only 1877 deaths. The stork
bested the reaper four to one. Ward
County had something of smallpox
epidemic, but out Of 49 cases no one
was fatal. There were only three
deaths due to contagious or infectious
disease. Seven cases of tuberculosis
but no deaths were reported This re-

COMMISSIONERS
IN QUANDRY
DIVIDE COUNTY OFFICIALS HAD
TROUBLE GETTING THIRD J,
MAN FOR BOARD

According to the Ambrose Tribune
the county commissioners of Divide
County had quite time when they
met to canvas the ballots. The
Tribune says:-
When the commissioners met to
canvass the ballots they could not
proceed because only one could act,
the others being candidates for Office.
1t was then up to Commissioner Col
gan and Treasurer Noonan to agree
upon a third man. Colgan wanted a
county justice, Mr.. Davis of Stady,
while Noonan wanted Justice o.
Loughlin of Crosby. Seeing that
they could not agree Auditor Vadnais
suggested they draw lot, which we
understand was done, Mr.. Davis be-
ing selected, but before he could
qualify the court house had been
taken possession of by mob OF
Crosby people, who refused Mr.
Davis admittance. 1t is reported on
good authority that some OF the
Crosbyites carried clubs and were
prepared to start a riot at the mo-
ment an attempt was made ny the
Ambrose people to gain admittance
to the court house. The telephone
wires were cut so word could not be
sent to Ambrose. This was q good
thing, as it might have been dis
graceful affair, as anger ran high
when word did reach Ambrose. A
crowd went over, but by this time
Register of Deeds-elect Odden had
returned from Bowbells with writ
of mandamus and served upon Aud
tor Vadnais to appear Monday and
show cause why County Judge Pierce
should not act. Monday Judge Leigh
ton sustained his writ and ordered
that Judge Pierce be permitted to
act on the canvassing board
Ambrose will bitterly contest the
election to the end.

SAMUELSON
NOT FOUND
SIDNEY MAN WHO DISAPPEAR.
ED IS STILL MISSING-FRIENDS
SEARCHING FOR HIM.

Nothing has yet been heard Of the
man named Samuelson, who disap-
peared from this city q couple Of
weeks ago.
J. V. Morrison and J. A. Ferris,
two business men of Sidney Montana,
friends of Samuelson, were here on
Thanksgiving day making an investi-
CATION concerning the disappearance.
They spent a couple of days in this
city, but were unable to gain any in
formation that would lead to his
whereabouts. From here they went
to Minot to make further inquiries.
Shortly after Samuelson disappear
ed the body of man was found in the
tDes Lacs reservoir, and it was report
ed that the man found was Samuelson.
An investigation through the coron-
er at Minot proved this to be untrue.
Samuelson had no money of any
consequence, other than that for
necessary travelling expenses coming
here, amounting in all according to
the gentlemen who were here, to about
$500. They did not seem to think
that he had been victim of foul
play with robbery as motive. Mr..
Morrison stated that the affairs of the
lumber office at Sidney were in good
shape and that Samuelson was com-
fortably fixed financially, having
money of his own still in the bank
there.

IMPRESSIVE
ADDRESS
JUDGE NUCHOLS OF MANDAN
GAVE SPLENDID TALK AT ELKS
MEMORIAL SERVICE

The annual memorial services of the
Williston Lodge No. 1914 Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks was held
at the I. 0. o. F. Hall Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock. There was a large
attendance Of the members of the or
der, and the hall was comfortably fill
ed by friends Of the deceased member,
families Of the members Of the lodge
and others. Although it had been re-
peatedly stated that the services were
open to the general public, this fact
did not seem to be generally known,
or the attendance would have been
much larger. The exercises were
beautiful and impressive throughout,
the ceremony Of the lodge provided
being carried out in full in addition to
the address of Judge Nuchols.
At 2:30 the members Of the order
filed into the hall and took the seats
reserved for them. The officers took
their stations and Exalted Ruler W..
H. Denney declared the services open.
Following the opening cermonies and
the very excellent musical numbers
arranged on the program Judge Much
OILS, the principal speaker for the oc-
casion was introduced
Judge NICHOLAS spoke in free and
unrestrained manner, his effort being
evidently, to draw attention to the
occasion and its significance and not
to the speaker and his personality.
His plea was for the building OF
character, the development Of man
hood, the incarnation Of those virtues
for which the Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order of Elks declares itself to
the world:
IN closing one of the best addresses
ever heard here on a similar occasion
ge Nuchols quoted part OF that
very beautiful poem, "Thanatopsis," j."
which is dear and familiar to all men,
bers of the order.
