Christmas services in many Of the
Fargo and Moorhead churches yester-
day morning we're largely attended.
Special music marked the feature Of
many Of the services in the churches
and it was greatly appreciated.
The Christmas morning service at
Gethsemane Episcopal cathedral drew
a large congregation. Dean Downing
OF the cathedral preached the sermon,
urging a greater and stronger church
manship. An early choral service at
1880 o'clock drew a great many. A
fine programme of Christmas carols
was sung by the choir under the lead
ership of C~hoirmaster Richards. At
the 1890 o'clock service, Mrs. n. H.
Hinckle, the new cathedral choir So
loist, sang Adams Cantique de Noel
during the offertory.

st. Mary's Roman Catholic cathedral

which was attended by n of the

LYNCH VICTIMS
BODY IS BURIED
REMAINS OF CLEEE CULBERTsON
INFERRED AT WILLISTON-
NO MOURNERS.

Williston, N. D.. Dec. 26.-The body
Of Cleve Culbertson, slayer of three
members of the Dillon family rear Ray,
and a victim Of a mob, who lynched the
man after removing him from the jail
here, has been inferred in a lot in
the local cemetery, which his aged
father furnished the means to pur-
chase.
Not a relative or friend followed the
remains to the cemetery and not n pity
ing face looked into the casket contain
ing the body of the author of a crime
which at the time stirred the whole
community. While there is general in
dignation over the blot on the state
and county as the result of the mob's
act in defying the law, it is safe to
say that there are none to feel pity
for the author of the cold blooded
triple murder.
The deserted wife, who had wired
anticipated and her suggestion that the
body be crematcd was ignored in view
Of her failure to put in an appearance.
Nothing more has been heard from the
aged father, who wired money to pay
the funeral expenses, and Culbertson
will soon be forgotten, although his
crime and the subsequent vents Will
long be a, subject Of discussion here.
1t is stated that the attorney general
has completed his investigation and
that he will report to Governor Hanna
this week, the latter having taken an
active part in probing the lynching and
following up every clue by which the
guilty ones may be brought to justice.
Nothing more has developed relative
to the reported request for the reslg-
nation of the sheriff, following the in
vestigation made by the attorney gen.
eral and prosecuting attorney.
Nc Report ON
It is expected that Attorney General
Miller will make his report to Govern
or Hanna Saturday and after that the
question of the removal of Sheriff Err
| ickson will be decided.
The Williston Herald is authority for
the following statement on this phase
| of the situation:
eff Sheriff Erickson does not tender
his resignation as sheriff OF Williams
county, ! will take the matter up with
sist that Erickson quit his job" Attor-
ney General Miller told The Williston
Herald.
Attorney General Miller, who has
been Investigating the lynchinE of
CIeve CuIbertson here, with States At
ty. r.. J.. Burdick, demanded the sher-
IFS resignation following an inquiry
into the manner in which the sheriff
tried to prevent the lynching of the
murderer of the three members OF the
Dillon family
Erickson is a socialist and the social
lists of this section are greatly incsnsed
over the attorney generals action in
the matter. A meeting of socialists
was held here to discuss the latest de-
velopments in the lynching case and
the turn It has taken for the sheriff.

BOUNDARY DISPUTE
TO Be SETTLED SOON
Commissioners From Two Sides
of Potomac Will Settle
Ownership of Rights.

When George Washington assembled
the delegates from Virginia and Mary
land at Mt. Vernon in 1855 to settle the
question Of trade and navigation on the
Potomac river, he probably did not
realize he was aiding in a step that
would give Marylanders grounds for dis
pute for the succeeding 12s years.
Such has proved to be the case, but
there is a promise of ending the dispute
soon as commissioners appointed by the
two States at the last session of their
Legislatures will meet soon to settle the
controversy. The dispute is over the
boundary line between the two States,
and 1t involves the question of regulat-
ing oyster fishing in the lower Potomac
river.
The compact Of 1855 carried the agree
ment that the Potomac should be a
common highway with the proviso that
'the right of fishing in the river shall
be common and equally enjoyed by the
citizens Of both States" In 1877 an ar
bitration commission made a finding on
the boundary dispute between the States
by deciding that the boundary line
should be the low water mark on the
Southern shore
This placed the Potomac river wholly
In Maryland, but Maryland has been
prevented from legislating as to fishing

Guard tonight. A total of 10000 will

bers of the Second regiment, the bat

the First separate battalion will be

Last night ZOO was distributed to

The Department of Justice for years
mas occupied a converted residence
which is far from being adequate as a
home fcI the legal department of the
Government. The State Department
has found its wing of the State, War
and Navy building much too small and
not fitted up in the dignified manner

War and Navy Departments also are
crowded and have been forced to look
about for other quarters. The Depart
ment of Commerce recently has leased a
building for three years in order to
find room in which to house its scat
tered bureaus.
The chiefs of the bureaus in the
Treasury Department are taking up the
estimates for their divisions with the
Secretary and within a few weeks the
work of preparing complete estimates
of the needs of the department will be
