LARIMORE MAYOR
RESIGNS PLACE
FRICTION OVER APPOINTMENTS
CAUSES MARTIN NELSON
TO QUIT

Larimore, N. D., May 5.-Martin
Nelson handed his resignation as
mayor of Larimore to the city coun-
Gil Monday night, and that body i'm
mediately appointed Arthur Bridge
ford to the position thus made vacant.
The new mayor Immediately re-
moved M. w. Edwards and E. c. Wal
ster from the positions of chief of
police and city auditor, reappointing
Richard Fadden and N. J. Powell in
their places.
The resignation of Mayor Nelson
was due it is understood to friction
which followed his removal of Fad
den and Powell. Petitions were cir
culated asking that Fadden and
Powell be retained, but Mayor Nelson
persisted in sending his new nomina
tions to the city council which re-
fused to confirm them.
Mr.. Nelson obtained the mayorality
after a long legal contest with NJ.
Gass, which was finally settled by a
drawing of lots in which Mr.. Nelson
was the winner.

FAKIRS OPERATE
OLD TIME GAME
FARGOAN PARTS WITH $35 TO
PAY CHARGES ON EXPRESS
PACKAGE

St. Paul, Mimi, May 2.-Martin
Binnes, enroute from Fargo, N. D.,
to Des Moines, Iowa, parted with $35
to a J. Rufus Wallingford-sort-of-
looking man in the Minneapolis Greac
Northern station today. The old-time
express package game was the modus
operandi.
An affable stranger bedecked with
many sparkling gems, struck up a
conversation with him, during which
Binnes became convinced he had met
"a latter-day Croesus. The stranger
showed him a draft bearing figure
larger than Binnes could remember
having seen before.
Just then the accomplice appeared,
but Of course Binnes didn't know he
was an accomplice. He thought he
was the express messenger he pur-
ported to be.
"If YOU want this package to go out
on this train you'll have to hurry and
pay the charges" he said to Mr.. J.
Rufus. "They are $50"
]. R. had only SIS. Would Mr.. Bin
mes let him take the other neces-
sary $35?
Would he. With pleasure and dis
patch. Half an hour later, when he
told a policeman, he was sorry.

POSITION OF
BOARD DEFINED
ANSWER TO CARRANZA PLACES
MEDIATION ON MORE FIRM
BASIS

Washington, May 5.-The text of
the Mexican mediators' telegram to
General Carranza, eliminating him
from the mediation proceedings which
became known today, disclosed for
the first time that the mediators hold
that "all the difficulties that con-
tributed toward the present situation
in Mexico bear either directly or in
directly on the solution Of the pend
ing conflict between Mexico and the
United States" .:-..
The mediators declare, in their an
swer, that all these differences
"should be made the subject of con-
sideration in the negotiations" for
whose successful conduct 1--WE have
deemed it indispensable to suspend
hostilities."
Should Carranza not deem it so
the mediators state they will be COM
PEELED ITO withdraw as inopportune,"

MAKE CHANGE
IN SECOND STREET
FORMER DENNY HOUSE TO BE
MOVED AND BALANCE OF
STREET OPENED UP

There is to be a change made in
West Second street which will set
back one of the old land marks of thr
citv but which will make a decided
change in the appearance of this
street. At the meeting Monday even
ing the City Commissioners awarded
the contract to julius Nelson for NOV
ing the former Denny residence back
for enough to allow the opening up Of
the balance Of this street. This home
was on land which butted out into
second street eight or ten feet. This
land has been purchased and the
street will now be opened straight
on the north side.

The railroad boosters meeting held
at Rudser last Saturday was 9 success
in every sense of the word 1t was q
success as to attendance, interest and
achievement. The meeting was called
for the purpose of talking over the
feasibility Of getting a railroad built
up the Muddy Valley and going north
and west toward the old site of West
by, Divide county. The commercia!
club of this city had taken decided
stand in favor Of the proposition and
Saturday something like fifteen auto
loads Of citizens journed northward
to attend the meeting. Among the
number attending were the president OF
the Commercial club, the Williston edi-
tors, attorneys, doctors and others ~
we'll as Mr.. Sinclair and Mr.. Arthur
of the Irrigation project. The sheriff
was taken along and he came in real
handy every time an auto got stuck.
He would say "Yank her out boys"
and "Yank her OUT they did.
The meeting was called to order
about three thirty by Hans Larson,
president of the Scoria Farmers Club:
A. H. Brown was asked to preside and
NJ. A., Ulvein acted as secretary.
Mr.. Brown in presenting the sub:
iect stated that he had been appointed
as one of the members Of commit
tee to work in the interests OF the
road. AS such he had been asked to
present the proposition to the Com
mercial Club of Williston and see how
they stood on the question. AS a re-
snult of that meeting said Mr.. Brown,
II have today brought committee
from the club consisting Of thirty or
forty members among the number
being the President of the Club and
I will call upon him to tell the people
of sRudser and surrounding coamun-
ity what the club proposes to do.
Mr.. Bergman addressed the meeting
and assured the people that Willis
ton was heartily in favor OF the road.
That the reports to the contrary were
not true and that the Commercial!
club would do anything possible to aid
the farmers in this work. He said
that he believed the farmers were
working along the right path and that
they should take the inetative. That
by doing so they would accomplish
more than if Williston took the lead.
Mr.. Sinclair was called upon TO
give some information as to the con-
struction and running of an electric

RECENT STORMS
A GREAT BOOST
FARMERS OF COUNTRY DE-
LIGHTED WITH SNOW AND
FARMLAND IN FINE SHAPE

A great deal Of the wheat seeding
was done when the last two storms
struck the country and the farmers
were therefore not greatly handi-
capped. The storm Of Tuesday and
yesterday was 4 soaker and the
ground is now full Of moisture. Any
little delay this may cause in the
farm work will be more than overcome
by the excellent condition in which
the soil will be. Grain that is already
in. will grow very rapidly when the
present cold spell is over and grain
seeded later Win be all the better for
this fall Of moisture.
