new YEARS DAY
WAS OBSERVED
MANY OPEN HOUSES AND PRI-
VATE GATHERINGS HELPED
TO MAKE FARGO VERY PLEAS
ANT YESTERDAY AND UNTIL
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR.

Yesterday. the opening day of the
New Year, was largely given over to
pleasure in Fargo and it was enjoy
able to very many people.
Many hundreds of people visited the
Fargo Commercial club during the
hours between II a. m. and 8 in after
noon. Lunch was served and the
reception committee made everything
enjoyable. There were quite a num-
Der of out-of-town people present
during the day.
At the Elks club there was also
open house and scores of the antlered
herd of $50 as we'll as brethren from
outside the city were present and
they all had a good time. There
were all kinds of good things to
eat.
Yesterday afternoon BILLY" Doyle
had open house at his rooms on Sew
enth street south. There was some
thing to cheer, and according to
those who were present the turkey
and trimmings were done just right.
Last evening alderman Cummings
entertained a little party of his
friends at a very pleasing New
real strawberry shortcake and the
other good things that go with it.
All of the theatres in the city were
filed to overlooking and each house
had about all it could attend to.
There was a noticeable falling off
at the prayer meetings that were held
by the different churches in the city
last night, for there were too many
family gatherings that kept the regu-
lar attendants away.
All of the stores and business
houses and public buildings were
closed and the day in a measure re-
sembied the observance of a Sun

NORTON ALREADY
STARTED new WORK
CoNGRESSMAN-ELECT FROM THE
THIRD DISTRICT. HAS VIRTUAL
LY BEGUN HIS DUTIES AS A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM WEST
ERN PART OF STATE. ..

Although Secretary of State Norton
has not yet actually retired from his
present position which he has credit
ably filled during the past two years,
and not yet in reality assumed his
duties in congress, he has virtually be-
gun his york on the new job in the
service of the people.
Mr.. Norton spent the greater part of
New Years day in Fargo at the Gard
ner hotel on his way to Bismarck
from Devils Lake, where he spent the
holiday season with relatives. He was
fastening back to the capital city in
order to complete his tasks there and
turn over the Office to his successor,
Thomas Hall, next Monday.
While the new congressman will not
take his seat in the lower national
house until March 4, he has virtually
begun his duties in connection with
that position. Among the many i'm
portant problems in his district are
land matters which demand urgent at
tention n Mr.. Norton has already
given much of his time since the No
vember election familiarizing himself
with these.
1t is probable the retiring secretary
will be in and out of Bismarck a great
deal of the time during the approach
ing legislative session in order to more
thoroughly post himself on the needs
Of his district, which may be brought
up in that body for consideration. His
many friends will have an opportunity
to see him there before he leaves fol
/! Washington.
According to his present plans, Mr.
Norton expects to leave for the ma
tional capital about March /. His
early arrival will give him an oppor-
tunity to meet some of the outgoing
congressman as well as to get ac-
quainted with the incoming members
lin addition to witnessing the inaugur-
alton.

THREE ARE ARRESTED

Agent One of Those Ac-

United States Department Of Justice: J.
L. Mott, his assistant, and Ernesto Fer
nandez Artoaga, representative here Of

the charge Of blackmail.
The arrests resulted from an appeal
made to the local police by Emmanuel

state of Campeche, Mexico. who stated
that he had been approached by one Of
the three with the copy OF telegram
which purported to have come from
Washington signed 'McReynolds,' order

Brito says he was informed that $500
would extricate him from the situation.
At this juncture he apprised the local
detectives. All concerned met at No.

rests followed.
Assistant Chief Of Detectives Daniel
Mouney, who filed the charges, said he
found $500 in marked bills on Matthews.
The officer said that when he began
searching for the money, Matthews drew
it from his pocket saying:
Here it is, you don't have to search
for it."
