A case came up in the justice cour

A case came up in the justice court
at Sarles on last Monday which prov
ed more exciting than had at first been
anticipated. A. w. Bucholz sued
t.. c. Leppert for a sum OF %136. 90
which the plaintiff claimed due him
when he quit the Leppert farm.
Attorney Fletcher of L%angdon repre-
.ented the defendant and Attorney
Wehe of Devils Lake was looking
after the case for the plaintiff. The
argument became so heated that
words evidently could not settle the
question and the attorneys resorted to
their strength and pugilistic ability,
Outside of breaking the Bug window
If the building in which court was
being held and each party receiving a
few scratches, no damage was done,
but it is said the affair was real lively
FOR awhile. Court adjourned at a
late hour and Justice Eeeren decided
the case in favor of the plaintiff the
following day.-Sarles Advocate.

the Westminster guild of the Presby-

truth.

offering for the relief Of suffering
Armenian children and the Sunday
schools of the church are asked to
contribute and the school of the Lang

ing for that purpose on Sunday. In

L.angdon's inspection day held last

Langdon's inspection day held last
Friday resulted in a general civic
awakening and the improved con-
ditions can easily be detected by
anyone taking the trouble of maxi
ing an inspection of the city. While
he clean up campaign lacked some
what i~nsystematic work, there were
many conditions that contributed to
this, unavoidably. Nevertheless, most
of the individual property owners re.
sponded %splendidly and the campaign
has not been in vain. The result is
a cleaner and a better Langdon and
che impress left by this municipal
movement will continue to be felt
throughout the year.

This week the name of John L..
Schwartz, candidate for register of
deeds is added to the list Of those that
will appear on the democratic ballot
at the primary election in June.
For a while it was debatable whether
Mr.. Schwartz or Fred Borusky of
Mimic township would make the run.
The two men We're in nowise oppon-
ants for the nomination., but had in
view solely what might mean most
for the success of the party ticket in
she fall election. We are satisfied
chat John l.. Schwartz is the logical
candidate to make the run against
Register of Deeds McGauvran. His
efficient conduct of the office during
the n term of his incumbency there
of, together with the neck-and-neck
iinish which this event furnished or
the political card in the campaign OF
1914, make just as strong an argu,
ment as can be presented for Mr..
Schwartz's candidacy. Old timers
over the county who have had business
at the register of deeds office under
his many years Of d%eputyship also
give strong endorsement to his RICH
to seek the nomination and will do
their part to secure his election.

HERE FROM NEW MEXICO

Rev and Mrs. D. Matheson were
arrivals Saturday from Las Cruises,
N. Mex, for a vacation visit which
will extend through most of the sum
mer. Mr.. Matheson has for the past
two or three years been in charge of
a pastorate of the Presbyterian church
at Las Cruises, but north for
the summer expecting that the change
of climate may prove Of benefit to his
health. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Matheson
state that they have heard more about
the trouble along the Mexican border
since coming north a week ago than
they did while living at Las Cruises,
which is on the Rio Grande between
the states of New Mexico and Texas,
and about fifty miles north of the
Mexican boundary at Ell Paso. All
the trouble it would appear has arisen
in the smaller villages and towns
while the newspaper reports would
seem to have played the border line
warfare up considerably stronger
than the actual conditions warrant.

Literary Society Gives
Clever Entertainment

So popular are the entertain
ments of the D. X. w. literary
society of the High school, under
the direction of Miss Rose Ganson,
that the Colonial Pageant" given
Wednesday evening was witnessed
by more folks than could be CON-
fortably seated in the gymnasium.
Early days in our colonial his.
tory were portrayed by separate
scenes each with prologue we'll
given by Gertrude Mccall.
Miss Esther McGinnis as pre-
sident of the society was in charge
of the meeting, with Miss Pansy
Robinson as secretary.
The first scene portrayed the
coming of the white man introdu-
cling to the Indians whiskey, guns,
and tobacco to chew and smoke.
In tie second scene church
meeting was disturbed by Indians
who were quickly disbursed by the
hardy pioneers with guns to CON-
hat bows and arrows.
The third part showed how
wastrels came and hardships gave
way to jolly times and jolly danes
and gentlemen danced pretty
Maypole dance.
In the fourth act Mary Donnelly
as a Puritan wife was accused of
witchcraft and sentenced to die.
Then followed Virginia reel of
gaily dressed dancers.
Just glimpse of school of the
olden time showed the little folks
busy with hand work as well as
the three Rs.
The last act showed just how
Charter Oak got its name and gave
good chance for Pansy Robin
SON s clever acting as loyal sub
ject of Connecticut.
Among those in elaborate cost
umes were Walter Bates as gen
tleman of the sword and plumed
hat; Claude Hancock as a clown;
Grace Curnow, Agnes Cribbis,
Savilla Mitchell, Aileen Collins,
Anna Macleod and Letha Ives as
colonial bellies; Dewey Clark,
Albert Slower, George Snyder,
James Hancock, Herman Stangier
and Frank kuntz as gay gentle
men of the early days.
The play was well staged with
pine trees for the primeval forests,
and the parts were well taken for
amateurs The subject matter was
particularly appropriate for the
Thanksgiving season, and Miss
Ganson deserves great deal of
credit for this portrayal CT our
early history.
Between scenes were songs by
Misses Violet Robinson, Pansy
Robinson and Ethel Chapel,
accompanied by Della Dumont.
