Nome Lumber Yard
Has Changed Hands

Nome Tribune: The first of the
week a deal was closed between the
Salzer Lumber Co., and H. G. Wolfarth
whereby the Salzer interests became
the owners of the lumber and fuel
business of H. C. Wolfarth, which he
purchased of D. C. Cullen the first of
the year. Messrs P. C.. Burfening, of
Minneapolis, J. E. Salzer, of James
town and J. T. Skaare of Amherst, S.
D., arrived Monday and commenced at
once to take inventory of the stock
and in short time had it completed.
Mr.. Wolfarth has been here for few
months, but in the short time that he
has been here he has made a great
many friends both in and out of busi-
ness and think that he has enjoyed
some business that heretofore was
new to this yard. At present Mr.. VOL.
farth has not decided as to where he
will locate, but wherever it is he
leaves a great many friends here that
will wish him success and prosperity.
The Salzer people will put in Mr..
Skaare as manager here, who is now
on the job. There is no doubt but
what the Salzer Co., will enjoy as
good business as their predecessors
have. This paper joins in with the
community with wishing them success
here.

Nome Man lnstals an
Electric Lighting Plant

Nome Tribune: James Nelson has
his electric light plant installed and
had the juice on last night, and it
certainly looked good, and Jim wasn't
stingy with his lights either. He had
several installed on the front and it
lights up the side walk and the street
in front of the store, and light across
the street at the garage that lights
the walk there, and one at the back
Of the building at the alley, so he has
the street well lighted up around his
buildings. He has several lights in
the garage and his living rooms and
the store well lit up. It puts on quite
a metropolitan appearance and shows
that there is another business man
that has progressive turn of mind.

Democrats Name Mcdonald
to Make Run Against Young

Fargo, May 22.-The democratic
state and congressional ticket was fll.
ed at meeting Of the state executive
committee, held in Fargo on Saturday
evening and Sunday.
Hugh Mcdonald, of Valley City,
candidate for the nomination for con.
gress in the second district was the
last member of the ticket to be select
ed, his candidacy being announced at
the conclusion of the committee ses.
sion. .r...,. ~
Previously efforts had been made to
bring Wesley Mcdowell, Of Marion,
into the field as candidate for the
nomination, but he refused to make
the race at this time. Mr.. Mcdowell,
who gained considerable prominence
in the state several years ago, while
a member Of the state senate, has
dropped out Of active politics during
recent years, because of The press of
private business interests.
Mr.. Mcdonald, the chosen congress
sional candidate, is one of the best
known democrats of the state. He 10
a pioneer of the Valley City district,
and has served in several official
pacities-including membership on
the Valley City normal school board
for several years under appointment,
by John Burke, former governor.
E. H. Stenvick, of Minot, while not
a member of the executive committee,
was in attendance, and it is generally
understood that the purpose of his
coming was to explain some features
of the recent attempt made by him to
have D. H. Macarthur made land Office
receiver at Minot. Members of the
executive committee are political
enemies of Mr.. Macarthur, and at no
time looked with kindly eyes on the
attempt to land Macarthur in the
Minot job.
That McArthur's appointment is no
longer likely, is now the general con.
sensus of opinion among democrats.
1t is understood he is without the
support of the state committeeman
H. H. Perry, of Glendale.
Mr.. Stenvick's candidacy for the
Craftsmanship of the state committee
was announced here, he proposing to
succeed Mr.. Perry. The change will
be made in few weeks.
The executive committee adopted
resolutions urging the democrats to
bring out full tickets of county candi-
dates in all counties.

actions with his feIlow-men, he
drew around him a circle Of loyal
friends who will be shocked to
learn Of his passing. He was one
Of the most prominent members

DR.. J. L. Stump

Rev. John S. Stump has been
notified of the tragic death of
his cousin, DR.. ]. l.. Stump, a
prominent physician of Charles
ton, which occurred some days
ago at the plantation in Florida,
near Titusville. where he was
spending the winter with his
family.
Mr., and Mrs. Stump had driv-
en- out to their plantation in their
automobile from their residence
in Titusville. to get some soil to
be used about the lawn of their
town house, it being the third
trip they had made that day.
From the road near the woods
DR.. Stump noticed a fire which
had spread to his property from
an adjoining place, and he left
Mrs. Stump in the car and went
to put it out before it reached q
small building he wished to pro.
tect. He had cautioned Mrs.
Stump not to come into the wood
because Of the danger of her
clothing catching FIRE,
She waited for about an hour
after he left her for his return,
but as he neither came nor an
swered to her calls, she left the
car to investigate. She found
him dead where he had fallen in
the path of the flames. He had
worn a celluloid collar and this
had caught fire, it flames, it is
believed, being accountable for
the terrible manner in which his
face was burned. -Parkersburg
