State troops under the command
OF Adjutant General c. F. Barrett, ar
rived at . o'clock to take charge of
the situation, augmenting local units
OF guardsmen who were called out
last night. At this time there were
reports of sporadic shooting and the
situation seemed to be easing.
Cuardsmen On Duty.
Detachment of guardsmen were
scattered throughout the city, prepar~
ed to meet all emergencies with ma.
chine guns ready for action. Guards
surrounded the armory while others
assisted in rounding up the negroes
and segregating them in the Jail, con-
vention hall, baseball parks and other
places which had been turned into
prison camps.

ed assault on an orphan girl in an ele.
vatOr. ...

section was made about 1880 o'clock

streets, used by more than SO negroe;
as garrison, were set afire at that
time and an alarm was turned in. Ell
forts OF the fire department to Law

cd white men and the department re-.
turned to its station.

ter in ashes was resumed at GAO

simultaneoy1ly.sfre. began to burst
forth from, the doors and windows of
frame shacks along Archer street.
Soon dense clouds OF black smoke en-
velOped the locality. Under cover of
the smoke screen armed men in motor
cars and afoot. threw Gordon about
the place where the negroes were sta
toned and occasional shots gave
warning that the conflict still ragged.
AS the fire enveloped the houses
negroes were seen to dart out from
the flaming do0rways with appraised
hands shouting, Don't shoot"

Public Exercises in the City
Auditorium Mark Informal
Opening of Grand Lodge
Session.
DELEGATES STILL COMING

Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of North
Dakota, in session today, got down to
serious busines this afternoon with
meetings of the grand lodge Of Odd
Fellows and the assembly of Rebek-
abs. =. .."1 r..
The morning program consisted
chiefly of public exercises at the city
auditorium. The visitors were well
coined by Mayor Lenhart. A memori-
al service was held for the late Rob-
ert NJ. Pollock. past grand master Of
North Dakota.
Delegates and visitors continued 70
visit the city, during the day and the
full strength of the convention will
not be reached before tonight, it Is be-
lieved. One party coming from the
north was reported to have encounter
ed muddy roads and was held up, but
was expected to reach the city today.
The Cakes delegation Of between 40
and so, probably the largest from any
one city, drove into the city in auto
mobiles last night through a driving
rain. More than 80 visitors and dele
gates! were expected here by tonight.
A short musical program preceded
the welcome address to the visitors
at the morning meeting. The re.
sponse was made by Grand Master
Robbie. DIR. H. J. Rowe, Of Lisbon, q
lifelong friend of Judge Pollock, de.
livered the memorial address in his
honor, paying beautiful tribute to
his memory.
Memorial Pageant
A memorial pageant in honor OF
those who gave their lives in the
defense of the nation was presented
by 20 ladies of the Bismarck Rebekah
lodge, with Mrs. Nellie Evarts in the
leading role. Glad in flowing white
gowns the beautiful patriotic cere.
mony was enacted in solemn and i'm
pressive manner. A memorial ad.
dress was delivered by Harold Thomp
son, of Cavalier:
Special honor was paid to Odd Eel
lows and Rebekahs. at the exercises
when the degree OF chevalier was con
ferred. At O'Clock the delegates
marched to the federal building, where
q picture was taken Of the entire
group. l gs
- Home Committee u.
Little talk has been heard OF can
didates for the next convention, but
Minot delegates have let 1t be known
that they would be glad to report
back to their lodge that the 1929
grand lodge meeting had been award
ed that city.
The home committee of seven, up.
pointed last year to consider sites for
the home and which was charged with
the duty of selecting sites, is ex'
pected to report its findings to the
convention tomorrow.
The Odd Fellows program has been
somewhat disarranged by pressure OF
business. 1t is planned. however. to
have a banquet Thursday evening, a
parade at 1880 Thursday evening, fol-
lowed by street carnival and dance
and entertainment at Elks hall. The
automobile trip around the city, ten
dered by the Town Criers, may not be
taken because of the inability of the
grand lodge to find time in which to
permit delegates to 60.
