MOorhead News
Want ACTION ON PARK
Park Commissioners Make Verbal Re-
quest and Urge City Aldermen to
Get Somebody Busy.

The members Of the park commits
sion of the city of Moorhead appeared
before the city council last night aud
requested that some animation be i'm
Jected In the proposition to secure a
site for a city park. After a short
discussion in which the urgency Of the
matter was conceded by the mayor
and council, Mayor Dayy appointed
Aldermen Melvey, Bodkin and Olson
a committee to confer with the owners
of the sites in view and secure prices
and terms.
The mayor appointed b. F. Mackall,
Rev. John Peterson and w. r. Til
lotson to succeed themselves as mem
the same was approved by the council.
The contractor was requested to get
busy n complete the construction of
certain street crossings. There is no
regulation for the business of draying
in the city of Moorhead and an ordi-
nance win soon be on its way through
the council. The city t~reasurer's re-
port showed q balance on hand, June
80, of $122,400, also that MI. Wilhelm
had received the sum Of $4S,03S paid
for licenses.
The representative of the Fire Pre-
v~entative association appeared before

CASE BEGUN
Preliminary HsarIns Of Alleged Stab.
hina ARRAY at Argusvills Be-
gan This Afternoon.

The preliminary hearing Of the stab
bing n cutting ARRAY at Argusville
which closed the rather hilarious
Fourth of July celebration Of two
Italians, Sam Oprito and George Pas
co, began this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
In Justice court before Judge ii. +.
Miller.
Two charges are filed against the
Italians, one for assault with a knife,
and the other for assault with a dang
Gus weapon James Derr is the
complainant in the first and Herman
Johnson is a complainant in both.
Derr was badly cut about the head
with a knife, and when he appeared
n court this afternoon he wore a
heavy bandage.
1t is alleged that the two Italians
entered the room of Deer 10 procure
some liquor which 1t is claimed they
knew the latter had just brought home
with him. Derr acknowledged he was
intoxicated while they were in his
room. Johnson, a friend of Derr's,
entered the room while the two men
were there and declare they drew
knives and started to chase him.
Between the two defendants, whose
comprehensive OF English is limited,
and Derr, who admits he was in a
drunken stupor at the time, and the
other complaining witness, who APP
pears somewhat mixed as to direc-
lions, the case is rather complex. On
account of the absence of one of the
witnesses the hearing was adjourned
until tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
A. T.. Cole Is appearing for the de-
tense and w. s. Stambaugh is con-
Quoting the prosecution.

HUSBAND MADE
COUNTER CHARGE

McClusky, N. D., July 9.-Mrs. John
Schulz of Highland township, west of
Skogmo, came TO town with her father
and mother and asked for q warrant
for the arrest of her husband. John
Schulz, claiming that he had beaten
her fourteen times in the past six
months and in many ways abused her.
John denied the allegations, each and
every one.
He stated that according to his
Judgment Mrs. John had not trod the
straight and narrow path before they
were married, which was six months
ago-in fact he found after they were
married that the dew had been brush
ed from the grape and that in his
opinion Mrs. John has Cleopatra back
ed off the boards-but that he had
never thrashed her for her early in
discretions. Mrs. John denied that
she was imprudent while a maiden
a fact that caused many residents of
that part of the county to state that
she had missed a lot Of fun.
John states that his wife's father
had been intimate with his daughter
before and after marriage, but the
statement was Indignantly denied by
the old man and Johns mother-in-
law. After hearing the statements OF
both parties the states attorney would
have nothing to do with the matter
and told all parties concerned to de-
part in peace. Mrs. John left with
her father and mother and John de-
parted for his freless Preside COM
p~anionlesS.

extent, be the prevailing influence, The
visible supply figures show a very
small total, the bulk OF such stocks
being in Chicago, Minneapolis and Du-
luth. Stocks at all eastern points are
at a very low ebb, and the fact that
the soft winter wheat crop is q small
one mas develop a situation In regard
to eastern buyers coming into COM
petition for the crop west of the river.
Corn-A continuation Of yesterdays
rally in prices took place today, with
little or no recession, and the July
delivery leading the advance. Cover
ing by shorts was a noticeable feat
ure, with offerings light except at *
treme advances. We are inclined to
adhere to the long side OF the mar
ket on the weak spots and believe
that h strength in the cash position,
all around, places the September de-
livery on a purchasable basis, while
the discounts which the deferred flu
lures are selling preclude at the mo-
ment any anticipation of profitable
short sales, with the contingencies
still favoring the growing crop.
Oats-The market failed to syInpa-
thize TO any considerable degree with
the strength in corn, owing to a con-
tinuation Of a most f1attering report
surrounding the coming crop. Ex-
tremely ayerse conditions must take
place W. the belt, as a whole, to
lower the present prospects and we
a see ncthing at the moment to
aus any permanent advance.

|SAY HE'LL FIRE IS
FIGURE Of SPEECH

washington, July By unanimous
action today the International Bible
Students association adopted a reso-
luton unreservedly r~epudiating, as
thoroughly unscriptural, the teaching
of a place, state or condition Of hell
FIRE and birthstone" for the torment
of the wicked.
At the same time the 1000 delegates
in the convention resolved that the
vast majority of ministers of all Prot
estant denominations of the United
States have privately repudiated the
hell fire" theory, but for supposedly
good reasons had hesitated fully to in
form their congregations. 1t was the
sense of the convention that on this
account thousands and perhaps tens
of thousands were being driven into
skepticism or i~nadelity.
The convention appealed to every
minister in the United States to pub
lish in his local newspaper over his
signature a statement declaring
whether he believed the Bible taught
the doctrine of a literal hell fire. 4 III
every newspaper editor was requested
to invite the ministers of his locality
to avail themselves of his newspapers
columns for that purpose.
The hell fire" question was brought
up by Brig. Gen. William P. Hall, u.
s.. A., who requested the association
to repudiate the doctrine.
