GOOD PROGRAM
CARR|EDL0U
LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE
OF TEMPLE WAS A VERY
PLEASANT AFFAIR.

There was history made in this city
Tuesday afternoon when the ceremony
of laying the corner stone to the beau
tiful new Masonic temple was carried
out in due form.
Promptly at 800 P. NJ, the MEM
bers of the various Masonic bodies of
the city accompanied by the Grand
Lodge officers of the State of North
Dakota, assembled at the Masonic
hall, and headed by the Devils Lake
band marched in procession to the new
temple being erected. There were ov-
er two hundred in line, and had the
weather and roads been so that autos
could have been driven it is estimated
that the number would have been
doubled. However there was several
days rain and the roads were almost
impossible and those from outside
who did attend had to come by train.
During the afternoon there was a driz-
zling rain, which made things little
unpleasant, but the entire program
was carried forward in splendid style
without hitch. The Grand officers
were escorted by a guard of eighteen
members of the local Commandery in
full uniform.
Upon reaching the place of laying the
stone the first on the program was a
song by the Masonic male suartette
consisting of Bros. Moe, Moody, john
son and Peterson. Bishop Tyler of
the Episcopal church was in the city
and took part in the ceremonies, and
he was called upon to deliver the open
ing prayer. The laying of the corner
stone was then performed according
to the ritualistic form by Grand Mas.
ter Harry Lord, after which there was
another song by the male quartette
and to close Grand Secretary W. l.
Stockwell of Fargo, delivered a splen.
did address. A. ]. Halliday, who is
master of the local lodge then made 8
few brief remarks, and the benedictior
was rendered by Rev. F. H. Oehler
The procession then again formed ane
marched back to the hall where there
was a general greeting Of the mem
bers.
At eight o'clock in the evening there
was social session and smoker, aftel
which a lunch was served, and the
evening was thoroughly enjoyed b!
the large number present.
The complete program was vel
carried out and reflected much credi
on the work Of the officers and other
who took part. It was beautiful
ceremony and will not soon be forgot
ten by those who witnessed it,

vantages could be derived and what
wonderful conveniences would be at
the command of the purchasers of the
service of the Consumers Service and
Supply company. For this service he
charged the insignificant mite of $50
o year which could easily be saved on
one order of goods. He would take a
note for $50. He was as smooth as
grease and inveiged quite number
of local parties to bite, signing notes
of from $50 to $125 each in payment
Of from one to five years service.
Some of these notes the agent cashed
at local banks.
When the purchasers began to re-
cover from the effects of swallowing
his CUFF they grew suspicious that
such goods could be bought at such
prices. Suspicious led to investiga-
tion, investigation to the arrest of the
solicitor.
The prisoner was taken to Willis
ton. The sentence for the crime OF
which he is charged is from five hun
dred to thousand dollars fine or from
one to three years in the penitentiary
Mr.. Lessleyoung states that he is
innocent of any intent to defraud anc
lsays that if there is any fraud, which
there might be beyond his knowledge
of the company, it was the company
and not he. He claims that he is con.
fdent of acquittal.
Those whose notes have been cashet
by Mr.. Lessleyoung are losers, and i
is thought that he gathered quite F;
wad while working in this vicinity.

RAIN DELAYS

Almost continuous rains the latter
part of last week and the first part Of
this week has delayed threshing con-

in many counties of the state it is
hardly fairly started. Monday there
was a few flakes of snow fell here,
and north of us from Brandon to Rock
Lake the ground was covered with
snow. There was nearly four inches
fell at Brandon. Although it is yet
early, the matter Of getting all the
grain in this state threshed this fall
is fast becoming a serious problem,

good threshing weather, the outlook is
that there win be shocks left stand

Ardmore, Okla, Sept. 28.-The dis
covery of additional bodies in the ruins
here due to a gasoline explosion late
yesterday, when a tank car exploded,
increased the number of known deaths
to So.
It is believed the death list probably
will reach 60, if not more. The prop

81 100000. :,
There are at least 200 injured, and
some of these probably fatally. Of

The. explosion shook Ardmore to its
.ery foundations, occurred late Mon
day afternoon in a tank car contain
ing 5000 gallons of gasoline.
Six blocks in each direction from the
Santa Fe freight and passenger de-
pots were affected. Railroad men state
that the car was shunted to a siding
on account of being in bad order, and
leaking gasoline to such an extent

ground.

When the switchmen refused to
move the car further, an inspector was
called. Ira Woods, car inspector
mounted the era and unscrewed the
tap, and peered in. Just as he did
this the gasoline ignited, and Woods
the car and every loose piece of ma
terial within 100 yards were hurled
high in the air.
The first reports, that there were
two explosions, are confirmed. A
quantity Of dynamite in a freight store
house was set off by the conclusion o;

The greatest damage in the cit!
was done by the shock. Nearly /;
score Of buildings were demolished b!

ANOTHER
VETERAN
LEAVES RANKS
GEO. A. vANNIER, ONE OF THE
PIONEERS OF COUNTY ANS
WERS LAST CALL.

Sunday morning Geo. A. .Vannier,
who the day before had suffered a
stroke of paralysis passed away in
this city. At the time he was stricken
it was thought he would recover and
his sudden death has cast gloom over
the city. !,
Mr.. Vannier was a we'll known and
highly respected citizen and had done
his part in making the early history
of this county, having come to Devils
Lake in the early eighties, and took a
homestead west of the city, and at
the time of his death was residing
with his wife at his comfortable farm
home. For several years Mr.. Vannier
retired from farming and moved to
this city where he conducted hotel
where the Mann department store now
stands. He had kind and generous
disposition and to know him was to
like him. He had pleasant word for
all and was ever ready to extend the
hnd of charity to those in trouble.
He was born in Utica, N; ", in 1912
and lived there until he was 19 years
old, when he enlisted in the army ir
1861 and served his country in that
terrible struggle, going through much
heavy campaigning and was wounded
in the hip. After returning home af.
ter the war he drifted west to lowe
and in 1868 he married Miss Ursula
Beckel of North Washington, Iowa
The family then moved to this county
where he continued to reside, with the
exceptions Of a couple of years, whe1
he and Mrs. Vannier made their home
in Oregon. He leaves to mourn :
wife, three sons, George, Herbert an,
Henry, and two daughters, Mrs. F. J
Trainor of this city and Mrs. B. M
Lewis of Portland, Ore, besides a hos
| of friends. The funeral services wer
} held from St. Joseph's Catholic churcl
in this city Wednesday and the re
, mains were laid to rest in the G. A. R
cemetery near the city. The member
of the local G. A. R. and w. R. G
attended in body.
