CITY Fathers
GRANT SEVENTEEN
SALOON LICENSES

AT the regular meeting of the city
council on Thursday evening licenses
to conduct saloons were ordered graM-
ed to seventeen applicants, but the ap-
plication of Carl Zimmerly was defer
red for action until the next meeting
of the council as was that OF the tws
brewing companies as wholesalers.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the resurfacing of Ash street from
Fourth to Tenth avenue, the crushsd
rock to be finished with n coating OF
tarvia, the oil finish.
AS was foretold exclusively" in the
News on Thursday the report Of the
committee of finance on the auditing
of the city books was presented 10 To
council. 1t embodied practically the
same tidings that were published in
our news columns yesterday.
F. J. Laurent Of the Audit BoRd
Company of America, an auditing COM
pany with headquarters in st. Louis
was brought to Baraboo TO look over
all the city books, including those Of
city treasurer, city clerk, chief OF pe-
lice and justices Of the peace. TIE
report states that nothing was fouKd
to require attention except the reA-
ords of the city treasurer, and accord
ing to the. committees report, the ar4-
itor's investigation shows numerous
irregularities to exist in relation to
the water fund during the period be-
tween July 1, 1915, and April 30, 1915.
According to the report, all moneys
shown by the books to have been re-
ceived are not accounted for. For this
reason the investigation was extended
for period from May I, 1912. AS this
has not yet been completed the finance
committee chooses to embody the en-.
tire transactions as they may develop,
in one report. The committee expects
to be able to report definitely at the
next meeting Of the council

Sunday the guest of Sheriff Hale, has
gone to Buffalo, ". Y, to attend to
some business matters, after which
he expects to return to Reedsburg.
About HAS on Friday night resi-.
dents in the vicinity Of Fifth avenue
and West street were disturbed by
an auto stopping suddenly at the cor.
ner. Upon going to the window, they
saw two men jump out of the ear, one
on each side, as man came in vie,
on the sidewalk. They Immediately
bounced upon the lone pedestrian.
Amidst the confusion, the man was
distinctly heard to say that he had
only two dollars and a half, but that
they were welcome to that. This.
however, did not seem to satisfy thera
and for all his protests the man was
loaded into the car and hurried from
view. This happened directly under
an electric lamp and the three people
who distinctly saw the act and heard
the fracas have wondered that no ne.
port has been made to the police.
None of the men were recognized.
Possibly the marauders were collect.
ing their just debts, but in rather a
domineering manner.

Democrats Plan to
Make Active Fight
in N. D. This Year
Placing State Ticket In Field at Meeting Here Today
Will Take No Action In Connection With United
States Senatorship and the Governorship. =

Democrats Of North Dakota, just as
sanguine as ever. just as hopeful of
seeing success crown their efforts as
In seasons gone by, are in Fargo today
determined to bury the hatchet and
get behind a ticket of candidates for
office.
Everything is harmony-almost.
The Democrats are honest in their
belief that they see in North Dakota
this year an exceptional opportunity
for success. They expect to elect at
least a United States senator and a
governor. Then they are going to put
in the strongest men possible to de-
feat the three present Republican
congressman, and that task completed,
they are going to give their attention
to the balance of the state ticket.
Opening their session at 10 o'clock
this morning at the Gardner hotel
with a series of short talks by COM
mittee members-some of them very,
very short-the committee got down
to business before noon, and had a
committee on ticket selected.
This committee will nominate can
didates for all state offices for which
there are no candidates at the present
time.
The committee. it is expected, will
take no action in connection with the
