One of the era’s worst Soo Line wrecks occurred in Enderlin North Dakota at 2 10 am when east bound train 106 crashed into a freight engine. The smoker area suffered heavy fatalities and injuries with a long list of named dead and wounded from North Dakota Minnesota and Canada.
E S Grant formerly of this city has purchased the McCormick grocery store on Broadway from Adam McCormack and will take charge January first. Grant, previously manager at the Minot Branch for Stone-Ordean Wells & Co., plans an exclusive modern grocery store with his wife, a noted vocalist, in Grand Forks. The piece also notes North Dakota crime case coverage, mentioning a Mondak arrest, a trunk seizure, and Julius Tysver’s father hiring counsel for the preliminary Mondak hearing set today.
The Stand Forks Herald notes a new primary election bill by John A Sorley to nominate U S Senators congress members and state and local officials at a primary. It excludes city offices and includes party national committeemen voter change notices 30 days before polls and petition thresholds for ballot access with mailings from the secretary of state to candidates and a five day response window.
The secretary of the state must publish in a Bismarck newspaper all nominees who signed the pledge and those who did not. A candidate may seek a recount by affidavit to district or supreme courts, and, if an error or omission is shown, may include recount results in contest pleadings.
A crowded Williston court house Friday evening enjoyed the Third Band Concert. The program opened with four band numbers followed by two chorus pieces led by Prof. Onstad. Mrs. Hardaway and Mr. Evans sang a duet I Waited for the Lord, and Mighty Jehovah drew strong applause. The chorus, first time accompanying a band, was well received. Mrs. Blakey's violin moved listeners and a cornet and trombone duet by Davis and Gordon drew encore. The concert closed with Joy to the World and Forge in the Forest, noted for its descriptive finale.
Reports say a move at the next legislative session will create a new district in this area by carving McHenry and Bottineau counties and adding Pierce. The eighth district would then include Ward Williams and McKenzie. A Rugby meeting will discuss this eastern shift with Attorney Burr named as a potential judge candidate.
