Boarders at Hotel De kelland

In the past week two new guests
have registered at the boarding house
Of Sheriff Jerry kelland in the base
ment of the court house. One of them
is William Dewitt, quite we'll
known resident along the internation-
al boundary line near Elkwood, who
is being held upon charge of boot.

ber OF subpnenas served upon his al
legged customers it would appear that
he enjoyed quite an extensive trade
here in Langdon as we'll as at points
scattered between here and the
boundary. Dewitt had hearing set
for tomorrow, the 25th inst, but in
order to insure his appearance at that
time he was brought here to Lang
don on Monday and waving examina-
nation was held for trial. His part
ner. "Scotty" was discharged, the
state deciding there was not enough
evidence to warrant his being held.
The other guest whom Sheriff Kel.
land Is entertaining at the county's
expense is man named Adolph
Dietz. who was brought over from
Nekoma charged with statutory
crime which is now shown in the
complaint to be that of rape. At the
hearing Dietz entered a plea of
guilty and has been remanded to Jail
awaiting his trial at the next term
of district court.

[. H. s. Team Is
Awaiting iii Finals
All Star Quint Ready to Play
In District and State Big
Pennant Struggle

Two basket ball teams from the
Langdon high school, a girls quint
and the boys second five, played games
at Park River on Monday evening.
AS Agent Bolton sold sixteen tickets
rom Langdon to Park River on Mon
days train it is indicated the players
had quite home town support at the
ringside. The out come did not
exactly hang the scalps of the Park
Riverites on the belts of their Lang
don invaders-neither was it walk
away for the bunch down the line.
They had to play hard enough for
fer every score they made and had
nothing to spare when time was
called. 1t was a most creditable
double header of games, win or lose.
With the district championship at
Grand Forks only week distant
the basket ball boys team of the
Langdon high schoni have only two
of their scheduled games left un
played. Both of these are to be dis
posed of here the latter part of this
week with contending teams being
furnished by Lakota and Milton.
When Langdon enters the tournament
for the district championship next
week it will do so with the record of
having met defeat in only one of its
schedule of games with teams COM
prising the district. The game lost
being the one it played last week at
Grand Forks. 1t has also been defeat
ed by narrow margins by Devils
Lake and the Legion team here, the
later being an outside game while
the only chance of Devils Lake and
Langdon meeting on the floor being
as contenders for state "champs. "
Honestly we don't know of high
school basket ball team in the whole
state that enters the championship
t0urnay with the district series of
next week that has better picked
and more likely lineup of all star
players than the one composed of
Harold Mausten, Joe Kellner. John
Milne, Will Stevenson and Eugene
Row. Under the training of Coach
Rude they have developed into a
fast. clean playing bunch that has
done a whole lot to put Langdon on
the msp as live town and especial
ly when 1t comes TO playing the game

afternoon marks it as being the big

appreciated at it's true worth by the
men and women for whose entertain

ly added feature, the poultry exhibit,
no wever, was perhaps the biggest
drawing card of the whole lot The
exhibit was big in every department
and what it spelled for the success Of
this years midwinter fair is no doubt
in large measure due to the attrac-
tive and valuable list of premiums
that were offered to the winners,
The management of this years fair
and convention can take upon them
selves the supreme satisfaction and
credit of having planned and carried
through to a successful completion
the best covention program and the
finest mid winter fair exhibit that
Langdon has ever presented to it's out
of town visitors from over the county
and this was accomplished in year
when the task meant an unusually
big thing, financially and otherwise.

A CRUCIAL POSITION.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE market
is in a very crucial position. due
largely to the recent hysterical action
of Mexican Petroleum
There are a small group OF men In
the street who know what IL actually
taking place, and they are maintain
ing a strict reticence-
The larger number OF brokers and
traders are up in the air and are be-
coming worried.
The continued weakness In Mexican
Petroleum has ruined the confidence
of traders, and as a result attacks on
other issues has caused some real
liquidation.
A good rally was started Tuesday
which held considerable promise until
the sudden attack was launched. This
caused general weakness, which has
continued since.
While the successful raiding OF
Mexican Petroleum continues there
can be little hope OF rally. Lower
discount rates--unexpected regular
dividend declarations--and other fav-
orabie happenings will be over
shadowed.
