CONSOLIDATION
ELECTORS MOVE TO SECURE a
RESTRAINING ORDER, STOP
PING SPECIAL ELECTION AT
GLYNDoN THURSDAY TO VOTE
ON CONSOLIDATION.

This afternoon papers were served
upon Miss Rushfeldt county superin-
tendent of schools. and other defend
ants at GIyndon, at the instance of g.
3. Romkey, FL. j. Jepson and other
electors Of school districts &c and 81.
The defendants are ordered to show
cause why a temporary injunction
should not be issued enjoining and
restraining the defendants from hold
ing a certain called election to be
held at Glyndon, Thursday afternoon,
March al, from z to 6 o'clock, for the
purpose OF voting whether or not to
consolidate school districts Nos. 1,
rs, 76 and ss.
The complaint is made upon the
grounds that the petitions asking for
the election are insufficient and in
valid, that they confer no jurisdiction
upon the county superintendent to call
said special election. The move to
consolidate the school districts named
is taken under chapter 207, laws 1911.
which the plaintiffs allege is uncon-
s~titutional.
The order served upon the defend
ants today is made returnable before
Judge Nye, Wednesday afternoon,
March 20, at 3 o'clock. Under the
law it is required that petitions for an
election such as the one ordered
should contain 20 per cent of the resi-
dent freeholders in the district and
that the signatures should be ac-
knowledged. This it is claimed has
not been properly done.
The counIa5 witI, Mise
Rushfeldt, the county superintendent,
r p. ]. Shea, W. f. Tate, Walter
Shave, Mrs. Fred Tracy and others of
districts / and SO. 1t is said that in
a number of cases the signers of the
petitions asking for the election, while
they were citizens and voters, they
were not freeholders under the intent
of the law as in many instances they
were renters Of the lands they were
occupying.

5~reomhalI,a Report

Liverpool, March 1s.--The wheat
market was firmly supported at the
opening with prices h higher on the
frnness in Buenos Ayres, strength in
America and the firmness of both
plate and Manitoba offers. After the
decline there was renewed covering by
shorts on the strength and scarcity of
spot and a further decrease in local
stocks here with a confirmation ofqight
continental stocks and continental buy
ers more anxious with Antwerp bid
ding for cargoes and as a result most
of the decline was recovered. AT 1850
p. m. the market was nervous and firm
and M@% higher than yesterday. Corn
market opened 4 higher on the Amer
lean strength and the 1rmness in Bue.

Liverpool today for September at s
shilings and 8 pence with the AmerI-

Eveninu Grain Letter.

5Chicago, March 19.-Wheat: Open
ing prices were steady to a shade
higher and the market ruled general
~ firm throughout the session. There
seems to be more or less buying OF
the July delivery by commission houses
,as well as by local traders, owing
largely to prospects Of colder weather
and there is unquestionably a dis
pc sition among the trade at large,
to look for crop scares, particularly
in the winter wheat country east OF the
river. The southwestern markets dis
played no particular feature and dur
ing the past few days we have heard
decidedly less about the cash demand
from that section. We do not care
to express an opinion about May
wheat and would advise our friends TO
ignore it as a trading proposition, but
purchases of July wheat on the weak
spots still seem to be profitable.

The mud was only ten inches deep at

bottomless pit did get a fellow one day.
But he tried to wade instead Of jump

foolish to try to wade that day"
Then the test mar told a story Of
a tester who used to run UP along

make a quick jump. run over a corner

He followed this with a story of his
favorite pastime.

William Humphrey, ST.. father of DIR

on the sidewalk In a state of uncon-
seriousness, about $50 o'clock this
morning, at a point on Sixth street
south, near the home OF Chief Mo-
Laughlin. There was q small wound
on Mr., Humphreys head, evidently
caused by his falling down and the
body was numb with cold.
Friends were quickly advised and
Mr.. Humphrey was taken to the North
western hospital where he is lying in
a very precarious condition and suffer
ing intensely from the result OF the
nights exposure. He must have lain
where he was found from shortly aft
er IL o'clock last night until the time
he was seen by the newsboy about
$50 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Humphrey attended the enter
tainment at st. Joseph's hall last night
and parties remember seeing him leave
the hall. Later he was seen in the
vicinity Of the First National bank
and he was seer trying to get aboard
a normal line car to take him home,
DuJ uS hll5SSu LHdL one anu was nSdEA
to say that he would not wait for the

AS it is very common for Mr.. Hum
phrey to be very unrestful at diff
ferent periods during the night and
that he sits up in other places than
his room, nothing was thought Of the
fact that he was not seen in his room
by those last retiring last night. The
case is an unfortunate one and one
that is likely to happen despite all
the care that is taken. Everything
possible is being done Tor the un-
fortunate man and the hope is enter
tanned that he will survive the ter
