MEETING OF THE
SHAREHOLDERS
FERGUS COUNTY FAIR .ASSOCiA-
TlON TO CONSIDER PROPOSED
TRANSFER.
DIRECTORS ARRANGE FOR THIS

The directors of the Fergus County
Fair association met at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning at the office of the
Hilger Loan and Realty company for
the purpose of considering the county
ownership Of the fair grounds, which
are now the property of the asSocia-
tion. Present at the meeting were:
Messrs. Hilger, Lane, Wright and
Wiedeman,a ndi the absence of
Fl. G. Cutler, former secretary Of the
board l.. ID. Blodgett was appointed to
that office
The question at hand received a
very full and satisfactory discussion,
and the secretary was instructed to
notify all the shareholders OF the as
sociatiOn that a meeting would be held
on November 10, at 10 a. m. in the
Chamber of Comerce office, for he
purpose Of acting on the proposition
Of authorizing a sale or lease of the
real and personal property belonging
TO the association
The matter of purchasing the fair
grounds from the Fergus County Fair
association is now under adyisemcnt
by the county commissioners. They
instructed Secretary Blodgett of the
Chamber Of Commerce some days aga
to obtain a statement OF the valuation
which the association places upon its
property The ultimate plan, suggest

MOST FARMERS
HOLDING WHEAT
NOT MORE THAN t2 PER CENT.
OF THE COUNTY'S OUTPUT
SOLD THUS FAR.
SIXTY PER CENT. NOW THRESRED

Fergus county farmers, as well as
farmers in other wheat sections of the
county, are showing a tendency to hold
their wheat in expectation of greater
market price than has been offered
SO far this season. An approximate
estimate obtained from one of the ele-
yator companies here gives only about
10 or II per cent of the entire Fer
gus county wheat crop as being ac-
tually sold so far this year About
20 per cent OF the wheat they have
handled has been stored, according
to the company's figures.
On an average, perhaps 60 per cent
of this county's crop has been thresh-
ed or stacked, up to date, All thresh-
ing in the section east Of the Judith
mountains is more than 80 per cent
complete, the last of this work in the
Winnett country being finished up last
week. In the Denton country and to
the north, perhaps rs per cent has
been completed but in the Judith ba-
SIN proper, and especially around Buff
falo, fully 80 per cent is as yet un-
touched, according to an estimate
given by County Agriculturist Peter
son.
1t is impossible to give any accurate
estimate of local wheat conditions un-
til threshing or stacking is entirely
completed and due to weather condi-
tions, the movement of grain has been
greatly retarded.
1t is hard to say, at present, whether
the local farmers will realize the price
they hope to receive or not, but they
seem lie pretty unanimous in their
reluctvEcc to sell.

sonal affairs, his friends and members
Of the family welcomed the distinct
change which it brought about in his
health and spirits. 4. e..
No word as to plans for the we'd
ding was said to be available as yet,
but it generally is presumed that
Mrs. Gait, who is of democratic
tastes, will prefer private wedding
in her own home instead of in the
White House.
Tonight at the end of a busy day
for the president, during which he an
nounced that he would vote for wo-
man suffrage, took a firm position in
favor Of national defense and re-
ceived a number OF callers-Mrs. Calf
was dinner guest at the White
House. At the moment when Secre-
tary Tumulty stood in the executive
offices announcing the engagement to
a large number OF Washington cCrre-
spondents who had been summoned
for the occasion, the president and
Mrs Gait were spending the evening
with DR.. Cary T. Grayson and Miss
Bones in the White House parlors.
The news was given out in brief
statement which read:
"The announcement was made to-
day Of the engagement of Mrs. Nor
man Gait of this city, and President
Woodrow Wilson,
Grover Cleveland was the last presi-
dent to be married in the White
House. Should Mr.. Wilson eventual
ly decide to be married there it will
lie the third wedding in the mansion
under his administration, the first be-
tween Jessie Woodrow Wilson and
Francis B. Sayre being held in the
east room, and the second, between
Secretary McAdoo and Miss Eleanor
Wilson, being solemnized in the blue
room.
The announcement of the engage
ment generally was regarded as a
fore-runner of an interesting social
season for Washington, with the new
first lady OF the land at the head of
the receiving line at official recep-
tions.
The wedding, it is understood, will
take place before the first series Of
state receptions ard dinners is held.
Mrs. Gait was present at the first
ocNiui pui li%iJilCu III ny Lhe'
president and Miss Margaret Wilson
in mere than a year. 1t was tea
given by Miss Wilson to neighbors
in the artists colony at Cornish, n. H.
Since the return of the president
to Washington he and Mrs. Gait have
spent many evenings together, some
times at the White House and often
at her home. Last week she occu-
pied prominent seat in the presi-
dents reviewing stand at the G. A. r..
parade. She was with her mother in
the midst of a circle of the presi-
dents friends and wives of cabinet
members.
The president was in happy mood
tonight. The satisfactory settlement
OF the Arabic case and the disposi-
ton of many other important ques-
tions pending, together with the an
nouncement of his engagement, had
buoyed his spirits. He will go to
Philadelphia Saturday to attend the
worlds series, and it is likely that
Mrs. Gait, together with Miss Bones
and other members of the presidents
immediate family, will be in the
party.

EXPLANATION THAT IS OF | i.
INTEREST TO ALL TAXPAYERS
NOTICES NOW .,REING4 SENT OUT
DO NOT INCLUDE SPECIAL
IMPROVEMENTS.

County Treasurer Rufus Poland is
now sending out the tax notices, there
being about 10000 OF, them in all this
year. The special Improvement as
sessments were only certified up to
Mr.. Poland yesterday by the city, and
these assessments will be mailed to
the tax payers separately later. All
who receive the first notices should
bear in mind that these special i'm.
provement assessments are not in
cluded in them. This applies equally
to the tax payers at Stanford.
In the absence Of this explanation
tax payers would, perhaps. be con.
fused when the second notice for
special improvements reached them.

Joseph Sehutt, who was arrested at
the Gies rooming house last July af-
ter creating disturbance and shoot
ing at Police OFFICER John Crowley,
was last night found guilty of assault
in the second degree and the penalty
fixed at from one to two years III the
penitentiary. Schutt will be sentenced
by Judge Ayers tomorrow The jury
reached an agreement shortly before
9 o'clock.
Schutt came to the city on July 81
last from Stanford. He secured a
room at the Gies roomng house on
Main street and after doing a lot of
drinking returned there in the eve
ming. Late at night he came out of
his room flourshing a gun, but final
ly went back to his apartment. The
police officers were called and while
Officer John Crowley was trying to
get into the room. Schutt fired
through the door, just missing the DO
liceman. Chief L. W. Ray and officer
BlgSers took part in the effort to get
the man out and he fired two more
shots. 4 bottle or formaldehyde was
poured into the room through the
transome space and Schutt then gave
up. He was represented at the trial
by McConochie & Williams, while
County Attorney Frank Wright and
Assistant County Attorney Raymond
Dockery represented the state. The
defense undertook to show that Schutt
had been drinking heavily before he
came to this city and that after ar
irving he continued this until on the
night in question he was on the verge
OF delerium tremens and did not know
what he was doing An effort was
made to strengthen this theory with
medical testimony, Drs. A. C. Biddle
and A. w Deal testifying Their tes-
tlmony, however, failed to add any
weight, Is both were non-committal
N their replies to the hypothetical
question framed by the defense One
witness for the defense, Max Haller-

ant that night and considered that he
had the delerium tremens.
