Law KNOWS NO
N0NPARTlSANS,
ELTON STATES
Ballots for Republicans,
Democrats and Socialists
Only.

It developed today that several vot-
ers in the county have registered as
"Nonpartisans," and that considerable
doubt is found among the voters as to
whether this procedure entities them
to cast their vote at the primary, cleo
ton on Wednesday,. States Attorney
Theo. B. Elton, when appealed to for
an opinion, made a statement to the
effect that the only parties officially
recognized are the Republican, the
Democratic and the Socialistic, and
no others.
Following is the text of Mr.. Elton's
opinion given today:
I'm other words. only voters either
registered or to be registered as Re-
publicans. Democrats or Socialists are
entitled to participate in the election
of June &c on strictly party matters.
This of course does not bar qualified
voters who failed to have their names
enrolled or registered either because
of sickness. unavoidable absence from
the election precinct at the time OF
enrolment. or because of attaining
the age Of twenty-one years after the
date Of enrolment, who may swear IN
their votes on primary day. Nor does
it in any way affect the right OF
qualified voters, no matter under what
designation they are registered. to
vote the non-partisan school and
judiciary ballots, or their right to vote
any special propositions that
may be submitted to the electors for
their approval or rejection. All quali-
fed voters, whether registered or not,
are entitled to vote such ballots" IT,

ALL EGGS TO
Be CANDLED
New Regulations Take Eff
feet Here-Only Good
Eggs to be Sold.

Mrs. R. A. Sprague, local repre-
sentative of the federal food admins
traitor for North Dakota, this morning
announced that after this date all
eggs sold in this city and county must
be candled by the buyer or seller in
order to prevent the sale of rotten
and spoiled eggs in the community.
Statistics procured by the United
States food administration from re-
liable sources show that for the past
five years. during the period from
June / to october 1, Is per cen of
all eggs were a total loss and 40 per
cent materially deprecated in food
value. These losses were due to i'm
proper handling by producers and
dealers.
That there is a deplorable loss Of
food stuffs and a serious waste of
valuable transportation space in
North Dakota every summer from
secured by the pure food department
Of the state government. One North
Dakota firm reports that their rec
ords show that out of 1888 cases of
eggs, handled by them during the
month of July, 1917. they had a dead
loss Of 9 1-2 per cen from black rots
and IL per cent heated of No. 2 eggs.
In other words this was two and So
dozen eggs per case spoiled with
black rot. These eggs all came from
territory within 100 mile radius of
Fargo.
The food administration says:
"a rotten egg feeds nobody, 1t
brings nobody n money, it helps on
ly the enemy" e
Because Of these facts the follow
ing regulations are effective in North
Dakota from this date:
The buyer, huckster, retail mer-
chant or others must candle carefully
every lot Of eggs that he buys. He
shall discard all ''black spots" BLACK
rots." and n other eggs Of un-
wholesome nature. He shall pay only
for good. edible eggs. He shall re-
turn to the producers, if possible. the
rejects for the producers own exam.
ination. The good eggs shall be KEEP
in a cool dry place until shipped and
they shall be shipped as soon as pos
sible.

Mysterious Fires in Two
Cities Occasions Consid-
cradle Suspicion.
BLAZE LAST NIGHT
CAUSED HEAVY LOSS
Livery Barn on Gertrude
Avenue Totally Destroy
ed Horses Killed.

A fire which last night destroyed
completely the large barn on the cor
ner of Fourth street and Gertrude
avenue, was the sixth of mysterious
origin in Grand Forks and East Grand
Forks during the past two months, and
the chiefs of the fire departments on
both sides of the river are beginning
to seriously suspect that a freoug
may. be operating here-a firebug with
a preference for livery barns since
four 81 them nave been either totally
or partially burned down within the
last few weeks.
1t was reported today that Fire
Chief Tom Powers of East Grand
Forks and Chief John ]. Fitzgerald
of this city are discussing the posi-
bility of asking the fire marshals OF
Minnesota and North Dakota to con-
duct an investigation, and meanwhile
the police departments of both cities
are alertly watching for clues that
identity of the supposed pyromaniac.
Fires Since April Fl.
A fre' broke out in Tom Whalen's
livery barn. 1112 Dakota avenue, some
time during the night between April
2f and 90: the building was Destroy
ed. and four horses killed. At that
time Mr.. whalen said that he found
someone had been tampering with the
barn door which, although he had
closed it shortly before retiring, had
been opened about twenty inches.
This circumstance was considered sus-
picious. the more SO as no plausible
reason could be given for - start of
the fire.
In the evening of May IA the smitl,
& Sinclair barn on the East Sid
caught fire and was completely de-
stroyed.: The origin of this blaze still
remains a mystery.
When R.. r. Smiths barn, or the
corner of Second street and Kittson
venue East Grand Forks, was set on
fire last Sunday morning, nothing was
found which would throw light or
the origin of this fire.
Two Fires on Thursday.
Thursday morning Of this week the
East Sid fire department was called
to the home OF May Mccullough on
North Fifth street, East Grand Forks
Investigation revealed the interesting
fact that attempts had been made to
set fire in three places, but no clue
Of any value was found.
This fire started at 3:40 Sunday
morning. and Immediately after the
f1remen had returned to their hall
they were called out again at about
4:10-this time to the home of Geo
Tinker. The cause of the fire at the
Tinker house is not known.
Last Nights Fire.
The fire in the James Murphy and
Bacon & Van Alstyne barn last nigh
started at about 1880 and caused 6
loss temporarily estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000. The building was
RACED to the ground. about 25 vehicles
Of all kinds we're destroyed and -four
horses killed. The building adjoins
that Of the South Side fire department
so no time was lost in responding tc
the alarm, but although only a few
minutes elapsed between the discov.
cry Of the fire and the beginning Of
the rescue work. the fire had made
such Roadway that the department,
concentrated its efforts chiefly upon
t. e - =" ~. Lf-'H
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-06-22

attempts to prevent the flrc from
spreading to other buildings.
In the Deaconess hospital, on the
opposite side Of Fourth street, steps
were Immediately taken to keep
knowledge Of the fire from the pa
tients as 1t was feared a great deal OF
possibly dangerous excitement might
known. All shades were pulled down,
and so effective was the work Of the
hospital staff that the patients knew
nothing about the fire until this morn
ing.
Eighteen Tons of Hay Destroyed.
The loft Of the barn where 1S tons
oon destroyed with its contents, as
were also many buggies, wagons and
cutters. A great many were pulled
out Of the building in time to be saw
ed from the mass of flames which in
creased from minute to minute.
Firemen and civilian helpers were
successful in leading most Of the
horses in the barn into safety, but
four could not be taken out and were
smothered to death or killed by the
flames.
The barn was owned by Nelson e.
Digness, but occupied by James Muir
ply and Bacon & Van Alstyne. We
hicles and horses belonging to several
business men in the city we're in the
barn at the time of the fire.
1t was said today that in 1906 an
other barn on the same site was de-
stroyed by fire, and the one which
was destroyed last night, vas built
shortly thereafter.
Origin of Fire.
Chief Fitzgerald said today that he
could not commit himself by the way
of asserting that the fire was Of in
cendiary origin, but he admitted that
there was much to indicate thai such
was the case. One circumstance which
the chief recalled in this connection
was that he had found some weeks
ago a small pile of straw on fire. evil
IDENTIFY placed on purpose close to the
barn on the Gertrude avenue side.
Marks from that small blaze are still
visible near one of the doors remain
ing in the ruins.
The chief at the time Of his discov-
cry had looked about for cigars or
cigarettes, but found nothing which
could explain how the fire was set to
the straw pile.
Chief of Police Odin OVERLY said
this afternoon he was trying to get
at the bottom of the rumors circulat-
led regarding the origin of the fire,
but had no definite clues to work on.
One theory, secuted at Immediately
by electricians, was that electric wires
had been crossed and thai a short
circuit had Il the fire.
Another was to the effect that an
Unidentified nan late last night had
taken his horse to the barn and in
looking for the proper stall had
struck a ~match-which might have
caused the fire.
Munsey Is Better.
Hubert l.. Munsey. a fireman. was
injured while holding a hose into a
second-story window in the real of
the building. He was taken to a hos
pital and this afternoon was reported
to be we'll on his way to
The fire was n of the most spec
tacular seen here for several years
and attracted a great number of peo-
pie from both sides of the river.
twas said today that the barn will
not be rebuilt by it's owners, and il
was suggested that the city take steps
to erect a barn where farmers may
leave their horses when visiting here
