FOR HAYES farm

..., ...... Figure.

The highest price that has ever
been paid for farm land in Burleigh
county was in the sale of the Hayes
farm, located four miles north of Bis
marck, when it. was sold by Dan Ca
hill to Mr.. Williams of Albion, Neb-
raska, for $500 an acre.
The consideration was $4,000. 90
for $50 acres and Mr.. Cahill is well
pleased with his investment as he
bought this land about ten years ago
for $1,000 an acre.
After Mr.. Williams had looked over
the farm he had purchased, he was
shown the large alfalfa fields near
Bismarck and he stated that in his
Judgment, land that would grow such
alfalfa was certainly not high at $75
an acre.
This farm was originally owned by
President Rutherford b. Hayes, who
operated it before his death. This
calls to mind that two presidents OF
the United States have owned farms
and ranches in North Dakota as it will
be remembered that President Roose-
welt for number of years, operated
a stock ranch near Medora.

an ARGUAENlATIVE SESSION
The Support Of Ticket Will Un-
doubtedly Result From the
Discussions.

The executive committee OF the
Progressive Republican League held
an all day session at the Grand Pa
cific hotel to wind up the affairs of
the campaign, just closed. The ex.
chequer had been depleted and an
attempt was made to secure the nee
essary funds to settle all .outstand
ing accounts and leave the slate
clean. The subscriptions were Sc.
cured and the League adjourned af-
ter very argumentative session.
No Endorsements.
The main question which was be.
fore the members was regarding and
endorsing the republican ticket and
Alex Mcdonald remarked that in or.
der to maintain the organization IL
was necessary as republicans to en-.
darsa the entire ticket. This seem
sd 10 be the co1census of all pres
ent. No action however, was, taken
along that line. VI
Will Support Ticket.
The presumption is, that all will
support the entire ticket as nominat-
ed at the primaries. The failure to
do so on the part of the progressive
republican league would fasten up
Oh them the stigma Of primaries for
office only" and indicate that the
league was only seeking its own ag
grandizement at the expense of the
entire republican party.
Secretary Langer said:
''We endorsed no one, and we will
probably not do so but it is likely
that each one will support the ticke,

Information direct from the scene
of the conference assert that terms
of settlement had been reached. These
reports generally are credited here
and it is believed the adjusting of
these affairs will be followed by a
decision soon on the part of the con-
stitutionalist generals regarding the
invitation of the mediators for con.
stitutiOnalist representatives to meet
with Huerta delegates and discuss
Mexico's international affairs.
Mutiny Breaks Out.
A mutiny which broke out among
the Mexican federals near American
outposts near Vera Cruz is subject of
keen interest in american official
quarters. Several messages on the
subject were received from General
Funston, who reported fighting be-
tween the federals and mutineers.
The Mexican federal commander
previously warned Funston that the
mutineers threatened to attack the

be on the defensive, but not to con-
slider such irresponsible movement as
an attack.

ended as far as vital facts are con-

results are satisfactory.

half section of land and his horses
and is not thought to have been in
debt. He was a bachelor and lived
alone. He told the neighbor he would
ibe absent for three days but has now
been away six weeks. 1t was thought
at first he had gone to Williston or

When Tournament Opened
Monday at Bismarck.

The conditions for the first day
of the two days tournament rendered
by the Mandan Gun club were little
more favorable for the betterment
of scores than the preceding day on
the grounds of the Bismarck Gun
club, as the wind was not in such ev-
fdence, and conditions are reflected in
the scores.
Thirty-five entrants responded to
the word, pull" and the events pass
