Attorney A. M. Christianson of Tow
:ner, who holds the western part Of
the state in his grasp as one of the
best legal lights, spent Tuesday in
the city en- route to Grand Forks.
"a. M" as he is generally called is
actually getting fat, if such thing
Us possible with the man who has
always been looked upon as one of
the leanest attorneys in the state,
in point of stature. When he was
running for district Judge against
Judge Burr several years ago, 1t is
said that "A. M" was speaking at
Berwick, when a gust of wind came
along with such force that he had to
finish his address at Rugby. During
his stay here he visited old time
friends, including the serumgards,
John Maher, Henry Hale, Judge Cow
an and others of the legal profession.
He was accompanied by his charming
wife and Miss Alice Gilbertson of
Towner. 5G f5ts5' $iat "5+3S. = i5sLa
4 A great crowd which lined both
sides of the river and packed the
street witnessed Fargo's first water
carnival. It is doubtful if the value
of Fargo water front was ever more
definitely realized than at the demon
stration Saturday. Autoists by the
score lined both sides of the street
and the interest throughout the entire
programme was intense. The first
event was the ring dive. First place
was taken by Hallenberg and second
by d. Smith. The next event was the
sixteen-foot dive from the new pier;
First, second, and third places were
won by, Bregman, Love and Keeps.
The next event proved the feature Of
the afternoon and was the remarkable
life saving demonstration by Physical
Director Henderson of the Y. tM. &C.. A.
A canoe was tipped over in the middle
OF the river and the. occupants thrown
into the water. From the shore{ Hen
'derson swan to the struggling couple
and after showing how II strange
hold may be broken and the drowning
person taken on the back to the res
cuer he swan to the shore. Here; a
spectacular feature occurred. The pull
motor in a fire department hose wagon
came just as. the persons were brought
to shore, the machine being operated
by Dr.. Burton and E. j. Sullivan. The
method of using this wonderful piece
of apparatus was demonstrated after
which the spring board dive was given
from the Moorhead side of. the river.
In this event Smith won, first place,
Ward second and zelinsky third. In
the thirty-foot dive Dunn took first
place, Smith second and Keeps third.
Physical Director Henderson, cham
pion fancy diver of the west then gave
a very interesting exhibition from the
thirty-foot pier. The handstand dive,
the double somersault and the back
ward dive showed his remarkable
ability in this line. The canoe regat-
ia in the evening proved a most
beautiful feature. Coming far down
the river the Pickering lights OF the
canoes sparkled on the dancing water
and with their festive decorations the
effect was one Of great beauty. Weav-
er won the first prize for the best de
corations and Keeps second. In the
taper race when the contestants swan
across the river with lighted tapers in
their mouths Claud Ward won first
and McDermot second Fargo Forum.
