initiated a class of "a candidates on
December 18th, the same number as

prevented some ~ other candidates
from presenting themselves.

body, the line being formed at the
St. Charles hotel. The special SER

vicor general of the Bismarck diocese.

initiating was commenced at the
armory under the direction of State
Deputy Thomas Hanneher of Fargo.
The first and second degrees were put
on by the team from the local coun-
Gil, while the third degree was worked
by the visiting team from the Fargo
council.
In the evening an elegant banquet
was served in the Elks' auditorium
where 300 sat down to the feast pre-
pared and served under the direction
of Mrs. Charles Hughes. The serv-
ing was done in great style by a
large number of young ladies: Car
nations were used in profusion in
the decorative scheme Of the tables.
Music was furnished throughout the
meal by Torrey's orchestra. Follow
ing the feast a fine program of
toasts was given, Attorney James P.

marks, he introduced the following,
who ably responded: Attorney T. F.
Murtha, Thomas Hannacher and Mike
