Papers have been prepared in an ap- Plication for a writ of injunction, re- straining Lee Nichols, auditor of Mor- ton county, from certifying to the sec- #, retary of state the returns of the re- cent election, when division was vot- ed on. The election, so far as divi- sion is concerned, was illegal, the applicants claim, inasmuch as one townghip in the notice’ published \n the Carson Press, it is alleged, was improperly ,described, the northwest corner being used where the south- east corner should have been speci- fied. j The application will be made this week, it is anticipated, probably be- fore Judge J. M. Hanley. It is rumor- ed that back of this new development is a community, or several commun- ities, who do not like the lines along which Morton county was ‘divided and who are not satisfied with the trend of the race for the county seatship has taken. It is hinted ‘taht-if an in- junction cannot be obtained in dis- trict court, the matter will be carried to the supreme court. New Liepsiz, Carson, Elgin, Bris- bane and Leith are engaged in a bat- tle to the finish for the county seat of the recently created Grant county. The decision rests with Governor L. B. Hanna, who has to guide him the first, second and third choice of the chairmen of the various delegations as registered at the hearing held in the house chamber yesterday atter- noon. Governor Hanna will announce his decision as soon as he is officially advised that Grant county has been formed. Late yesterday afternoon he had not been so informed, and he did not anticipate a formal. \notification from the Morton county hoard of can- vassers until Friday, 9. 46:55 6 Odd Procedure The procedure adopted in determin- ing the first county, seat of Grant. is rather confusing. Apparently, . the chief executive has no power beyond the appointment of the commisaion-, ers to serve the three, districts, into, which Grant has been divided.” The governor, however, in, asking ycster- “{ day afternoon for an advisory note from the chairman of the different del- egations, considered ‘only the prefer- ence for the county seatship. Inas- much as practically every delegation 4 expressed a different choice for com- - missioners, and since only one—Car- zi | Mr. Hanna is to arrive at his y ie clusion. son—named a full slate of, three, it is rather difficult to determine just how con- The Hearing {The house chamber: was filled when 7) the governor called the hearing to or- der at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hanna announced that everyone would be recognized, whether advo- cating the name of a.town for county _ seat or urging the appointment of candidates for the commissionerships. To expedite matters, the.towns were heard alphabetically Brisbane First Brisbane was heard first. through M. M. Hayden, who stated that his community believed it was as well lo- cated as any to command the favor of the new county, and that he, proposed for commissioner the name of Peter Ferguson of Wade, whom he believed acceptable not only to Brisbane, but to the entire southeastern part of the county. He was seconded by Mr. Lu- beck of Freda, who felt that Brisbane was the proper location for the coun- ty seat, and, more particularly, that Ferguson should be a member of the county commission. Mr. Jensen of Raleigh was mofe interested in the commissionership than the county seat, and he insisted that Ferguson should be named to represent his dis- trict. Mr. Gross of Stebbins second- ed the nomination of Ferguson and al- so nominated Mr. Wade. Carson on the Job Carson was represented by H. H. Halenberg, who had prepared an ad- dress which he delivered effectively. He called attention to the fact that Carson was the oldest postoffice in Grant county; that the Carson Press. as the oldest and best established newspaper in the new county; that * during the past year the Northern Pa- ‘ cific had invested a large amount in a permanent water supply system in -Carson; that Carson boasted of the best water west of the Missouri; that good wagon roads led to Carson from the most remote portions of the coun- ty; that Carson is the only represent- ative North Dakota town seeking the any outside trade influences, but which buys its supplies and spends its money in North Dakota; ‘that awkward _railroad facilities al- _-ready have cost the state many thou- sands of dollars, and that the new seat of government should be acces- ‘sible not only to every part of Grant “county, but to the state capital as well. Mr. Hallenberg closed with an en- dorsement of John D. Thompson, Thomas E. McDowell and W. E. Scripture for members of the Grant county commission.

Entente Press Bitter. The journals of the Entente Pow- ers are especially bitter in their com: ments. This, from the Matin, Paris, is typical: _‘“The sinister old man who for 68 years wore the double crown, disap- pears too soon, notwithstanding, his 86 years, for he has not seen the ap- proaching hour of expiation of the crimes for which he will bear eter- nally in history, a crushing responsi- bil and stigma. But the spectre of punishment must have haunted ‘his latter days if this man, so monstrous- ly indifferent, was accessible to any feeling whatever—this man who wit+ nessed, unmovéf, the worst catastro- phes heaped up by fate on his family and his country. The ireny of fate! “If he had disappeared from the scene three years sooner, the world would have forgotten his calculating cowardice, his ferocious egotism, his hypocrisy, and would have remember- ed only the private and public mis- fortunes which marked almost all the years of his reign, without reflecting that these misfortunes were all de- served. He perhaps would have’ been pitied. But justice has not permitted that he swindle the world out of this supreme homage. It has made for his death a setting of reprobation and horror.” President Wilson today sent the following message of condolence to Emperor Kar! Franz Josef, of Austria- jHaneaty upon receipt of word of the death of the late emperor, Francis Joseph: “T beg of your majesty and the im- perial and royal family to accept the sincerest sympathy of Mrs. Wilson and myself in the great loss which you have sustained in the death of your illustrious uncle for whom I en- tertained sentiments of high esteem and regard. Extend Condolences. “I also extend to your majesty the condolences of the government and people of the United States and con- vey to you my best wishes for your personal well being and prosperity.” The president addressed the new tuler as, “His Majesty Karl Franz Josef, emperor of Austria, king of Bo- hemia and. Apostolic King of Hun- gary.” Emperor Charles Vill, new ruler of Austria-Hungary, exercised his first powers as soverign by issuing or- uncle’s reign. WERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

The hattle was fought from November 15 to 17, after the German and Austro- Hungarian forces. in a week of si ‘combats, had forced their way from the summits of the mountains on the Roumanian-Transylvanian frontier to the foot of the Alpine regions, magter- ing the armored turrets of the per- manent frontier fortifications with big mortars and breaking the Roumanian resistance wherever it was encount- ered. > Ejected from the wild, mountain ous zegions to the rolling foothills be- yond, the Roumanians, who by now had received heavy Russian rein- forcements, elected to stand on the range of hills running east and west and lying south of Tirgujtullj, the Srat important town south of the moun- tain. The positon was naturally stromag and a heavy fog enabled the Rouman- ians to take up their positions unmo- lested by the pursuers, The German and Austro-Hungarian forces attacked them with fervor and after three days of heaviest fighting, crushed their way by frontal attacks through the middle of the Roumanian line from the Jiul to the Filort riv- ers. The Roumanian losses in the battle are described as. very heavy. The German cavalry had been held in readiness behind the line and the squadrons now poured through the breach and raced down the valley towards the railway 30 miles away, driving before them the fleeing Rusians and Roumanians and breake ing the efforts at resistance of all but the strongest units which still held together.
