fine RESPONSE, TO
APPEAL FOR BOOKS
Over 700 Already Collected at Public
LFbrary-PIaeards Placed In
Business Houses.

In order that none might miss the
| appeal being made in Fargo and all
over the country for good books and
magazine reading matter for Uncle
Sans soldier boys, attractive plac-
ards were on Wednesday placed by
Miss Winnie Bucklin, public librari
an, and Miss Clara A. Richards,
Masonic temple librarian, in. ma
jority of the stores and other bust
ness houses along the main thor
oughfares of the city. These placards
explain briefly and to the point, how
you can do your Bit" and it is an
ticipated that they will add largely
to the donations of reading matter
being received at the Fargo public
library.
Between 700 and 800 volumes have
already been turned in to the pub
lie library, aside from a large stack
of magazines of wide variety,
which indicates fine patriotic spirit
on the part of the general public,
for the movement launched by the
National Library association at the
behest of the United States govern
ment was only begun here last week.
Practically every minister in Fargo
and Moorhead called the attention
of his congregation to the appeal
dIlu OHO
lister of Fargo, who asks that his
name be withheld. has donated for
this cause a group Of splendid scrap
books containing articles along many
lines, stories and serial tales which
he has been collecting for several
years. Pamphlet reading matter is
especially welcome in the hospitals,
for patients who are convalescent
enough to wish diversion, but are
easily tired by handling books.
Most Of the books donated are by
standard authors. particularly those
who write stories of the type that
attract virile young men, and the
magazine selection already turned
in is also a good one so far.
Miss Bucklin expresses herself as
much pleased with the response so
far, and anticipates that a very
creditable shipment will be made
from Fargo, as, in the absence from
that city of the regular librarian, the
donations of Moorhead residents are
also coming into the Fargo library.
The books must all be turned in by

Controversy

Judge A. T. Cole of the district
court, this morning denied the mo-
ton for a new trial in the case OF
Paulson VS.. Reed, which gives
promise now of going to the supreme
court for the third time.
Judge w. S. Lauder of Wahpeton,
made the appeal to the district
court for the defendant, ]. A. Reed
Of Richland county. The case has
been to supreme court twice before
and decisions of the lower court
severed, each time.
The case which grows out OF
commission in a land sale, said com
mission amounting to about $1,000,
was first tried before Judge Allen
and decided in favor of the plain
tiff. Judge Charles A. Pollock heard
the case the next time and decided
similarly.
The third time the case was called
in the district court of Richland coun-
ty, Judge A. T. Cole of this district,
presided, and decided as did the
former two justices.
The case will be taken to the su-
preme court for the third time, the

COUNTY MINISTERS CALL
ON GOVERNOR TO PUT
END TO MILLS
SHERIFF ON GUARD
DAVIS GETS INSTRUCTIONS FROM
GOVERNOR MMANDING HIM
TO SEE THAT LAWS ARE RIGID.
~ ENFORCED.

The death knell OF prize fighting in
La Sale county was rung this morn
ing when Sheriff +. NJ. Davis ordered
q boxing exhibition that was to
have been given tonight at Streator
summarily dispensed with. The order
came when scheduled bouts were ad
vertised about the county and mem
bers Of TIE Streator Ministerial Asso
citation called upon Governor Lowden
to put a stop to the mills
In this mornings mail the sheriff
received an order from the executive
at Springfield instructing him to do
his duty and prevent the fights from
taking place. In compliance with this
mandate Sheriff Davis got into com.
munication with the promoters and in.
structed them to abandon their plans.
Activities against the squared riag
sport have been conducted by county
ministers since attempts were made
to revive the game" In Ottawa, La
Sale and Streator. AT their monthly
meeting the Association unanimously
agreed to use its influence to cause
enforcement Of the anti-ight laws.
That the ministers were determined
to prevent the bouts Is evidenced by
tn manner In which they went about
their task They left no, unturned
stones in their path and covered every
little detail--even to obtaining docu
mentary evidence that could be used
against the fighters, promoters and
inatch-makers In case prosecutions
should follow.
Tie matter was put so squarely up
to the sheriff 1t left him no alternative
but to act. and act promptly. With
the governor giving the command he
took immediate steps to see that the
executive mandate was abided by to
the detail. Together with Deputy
Sheriff Goebel the sheriff went to
Streator this noon to pave the way for
putting the rule into force. Later this
afternoon the remainder of the deputy
force will be moved over to Streator
to see that no evasions be carried Out
and the fight staged somewhere else
than advertised
There will be no fights in La Sale
county tonight, II know it, was the
sheriff's determined statement. y
will not be made the goat in this
manner, and no power under the SUI
can make me change my mind. Pres
sure will be brought to bear in an at
tempt to make me relent, but ! am go
ing thru with the order no matte
what happens he ended.
With the ministerial association
thus organized, and certain beyond
question Of a doubt that they will stoI
all further fighting in the county,
appears to the sportive element tha
the game Is doomed for ever NOR
hereabouts unless, of course neN
laws are enacted legltimatizing fight
