ONLY FOUR DEMOCRATS FILE FOR OFFICE

Republicans Will Havfi__No. Opposition in iiiree Office®—Only Contest For Clerk. But four democratic candidates filed with City Clerk Charles Morlan Saturday, which was the last oay for filing declarations of candidacy for the primaries to be held March 6th. 'l'ne democrats who filed were: Nattie Scott and Ed Herath, candidates for councilmen at large; Cleve Eger, candidate for councilman of the firit ward, and James Snedeker, councilman of the third ward. The candidates who filed Saturday werei — For Mayor—C. G. Spitler, R. For Treasurer- —Chas. M. Sands, R. For Clerk—Chas. Morlan, R; Emmet Laßue, R. Councilman Ist Ward—H. R. Wood, R: Cleve Eger. D. . - . Councilman 2nd Ward—Frank Tobias, R. Councilman 3rd Ward —F. R. Waymire, R; James Snedeker, D. Councilmen at Large-—Conrad Kellner, R; Rex Warner, R; Nattie Scott, D; Ed Herath, D. Committeemen —W. H. Kresler, R, 3rd;» Floyd iMeyers, R, Ist; D. E. Grow, R, 2nd. It will be seen by the above that the only contest on the ticket among the candidates to represent their party is for the city clerk position, two candidates, Charles Morlan, present clerk, and'Emmet Laßue. All of the rest of the candidates will make the race at the election to be; held this fall. The law provides that candidates must file not more than sixty days and not less than thirty days before the primary date. The situation this fall will be very quiet owing to the lack of contestants. Mayor Spitler, Charles M. Sands and Councilman Tobias are already elected, for they will be without opposition at both the primary and at the election this fall. This is probably the first time in the history of the city that both parties have not 'been represented by a candidate for mayor.

PROVED TO BE AN IMPOSTER

Delaware Girl Took Advantage of Advertisements to Receive Money From Wheatfield People. Recently there was published in The Republican tin article telling of Mrs. John Nordhouse, of Wheatfield. finding her daughter, Sadie, through an advertisement in the papers. Her daughter had been missing for fifteen years. As a result of the advertisement a young lady of near Selbyville, Delaware, took advantage of the -op* portunity to procure money, and as a result is under arrest. Mrs. Nodnhouse, following the publication of the advertisement, received a letter from her supposed daughter, who asked that she wire her money with which to make the trip to Indiana. The money was wired by the Bank of Wheatfield to the young lady. Mrs, Nordhouse also sent more money in a letter which she wrote and asked that her daughter ornno immediately to pay her a visit. The days passed and the supposed daughter failed to put in an appearance. Hearing nothing further from the girl it was decided that Mrs. Nordhouse’s David Lintner, make a trip to Delaware. On his arrival there h ewas unable to discover anyone by the name of Sadie Lintner. The matter was reported to the Selbyville postmaster, where the letter had been mailed. A woman wso resided in the country near that place was finally identified as having sent the letter and. received the money. Her real name was Ethel Boles. She was placed under arrest by the fedral authorities along with her father, who had identified her as Sadie Lintner. David Lintner will appear as a witness for the government when the case comes to trial Oil February. 10th. The Lintner girl had been missing for several years and recently the family advertised for her in hopes that they might get trace of her.

Early Morning Fire Does But Little Damage.

-At 5:40 this morning the shrill fire whistle was sounded and our fire company was called to the home of Charles Leavel, who lives in the Gus Yeoman property in the northwest part of the city. The .extremely opld weather and the cutting wind made the trip very disagreeable and Fire Chief Montgomery says it was one of the wDret-hiws K & everm Fotrunatsly the fire 'had not gotten under much headway and was easily put out with chemical extinguishers. The roof had taken fire from a spark from a wood fire and a hole about two feet square was burned near tihe chimney. The damage is very slight and it is certainly very fortunate for the firemen and for the property owners that it was of so little moment.

Gainest of Dog Mushers Fails In Final Stages.

Fred Hartman, the plucky American dog nvusher from Boston, with his feet frozen, one dog dead and another in such a weakened condition tlhat it had to be carried on his sled, failed in his final attempt to, reach the leaders when near the finish line m the great dog derby from Winipeg to St. Paul. The race of the American under such conditions was remarkable ' hSRi "Although Albert Campbell, a Cree half breed, took first place, the greater portion of the glory goes to Hartman. When about forty miles from tihe finish line the five drivers in the race halted at the same town for the night. Hartman arose at 2 o’clock, intending to get a three hour start on his rivals after going without sleep for practically two days. Had it not been for a native who warned the other drivers, he would have slipped away and won the race. After crossing the finish line at St. Paul Hartman started to lie down in the snow for his long rest.
