The response of the people TO Judge

the committee off its feet, Friday ar.

or the two propositions, in the same
form in which 1t Is printed on the
petition. The common council. il II

Aid. Lodge made a vain argument
in favor OF the other proposition, call

not think it prudent TO submit two
amendments, one for spring cleo

day, with two horses, has been
executed by Mexican federals.
Colonel Taggert went to the
federal line, yesterday, to in
vestlgate the whereabouts of
Parks, but was given little sat

said to have declared that they
were under orders to shoot any
uniformed American coming in
to the lines, but would not speci-
fically admit that Parks had met
his fate.
Last night a railroad man is
understood to have informed
Colonel Taggert that soldiers
of General Mas command had
told him Parks had been shot to
death. He said the soldiers also
declared another American in
uniform, who appeared to be a
soldier, had been shot two nights
before.

DECISION ENDS
ROW IN CHURCH
The Liberal Element Left in
Charge of Thingvalla
Congregation.

The liberal element in the Thing
valla Lutheran church, in Pembina
county, will remain in possession of
the property of that organization, ac-
cording to decision just handed
down by the supreme court.
A schism arose in the church three
years ago over the doctrine of the
plenary inspiration of the bible,
which was later adopted by the gen.
eral synod Of the church.
A majority of the congregation dis
approved of this doctrine, however
and withdrew from the synod. The
synod thereupon declared the minor
ity members who adhered to the plen-
ary inspiration doctrine to be the
true members of the church, and or
dered the church property handed
over to them.
The case was taken to the district
court, which rendered a decision in
favor of the minority or orthodox ele-
ment of the church. The liberal ele-
ment then appealed to the supreme
court which rendered decision in it's
favor.
The liberal party has been in actual
possession of the property Of the
church ever since the case arose, and
will continue in such possession under
the court ruling.
