The stipulation, signed today, as, follows, in part: “Whekeas an order has been is- sued requiring the defendant to show cause why an injunction should not he issued during the pendency of this action, and “Whereas the deiendant, acting as the state highway commission, officially determined to in all things abandon plans to lay out and im- prove the proposed highway in ques- tion and has agreed to inform and advise the plaintiff in case of de- termining in the future to take fur- ther steps in the laying out, estab- lishment and improvement of said highway, “Now, therefore, be it hereby stip- ulated that the above entitled action be and the same is hereby dismissed without further cost to either party.” Friends of the St. Anthony road claims the highway commission has entered into a contract to gravel the thoroughfare, and ‘hat the mwork will proceed despite the dismissal of the injunction proceedings, ‘They assert today’s developments |, will not halt improvement of the cutoff artery. The cutoff action originated when District Attorney Kelsh sought an injunction to prevent improvement of the St. Anthony road. Mr, Kelsh asked the injunction on the follow- ing grounds: 1, The St. Anthony cutoff is not a state thoroughfare and it requires the sanction of Morton county to legalize laying out the road. Morton county should not be taxed for an improvement which it has not. authorized. Improvement of ‘the cutoff has been agitated by Bismarck business men for upwards of a year. The road is at present impassable. Local merchants clgim graveling of the cutoff road would create a short- er route to Bismarck for farmers living on the west bank of the Miss- ouri river in the vicinity of St. Anthony.

In the view of officials there seems every reason to believe that negotiations now proceeding between the two governments will end in a satisfactory settlement. Kalfoff, Bulgarian foreign mini ter, in an interview with the Greek charge d’ affaires yesterday tld him the trouble was largely due to the influx of Greek referces from Asia Minor and the opposition of the original Bulgarian land owners. Bulgaria, he said, had pointed out long ago that this was likely to cause trouble, but her protest and advice were not heeded.

OPPOSITE VIEWS IN DEATH CASE, Mattoon, theories have resulted from almost a week’s investigation of the death of Miss Cora Stallman, 48 year old former Cincinnati teacher, whose body was found in a‘cistern on her sister’s farm near here Sunday. State’s Attorney Fletcher holds a suicide theory. He believes threw herself in the cistern after taking poison. Coroner thinks she was dead before the body was placed in the cistern, Authorship of eryptic and threat- ening letters found with the body is attributed by Fletcher to Miss Stall- else, Physicians who examined the body found no water in the lungs and no poison traces, they said.
