v Gunsalus Suedfor suo’oo_for |PRESIDENT nHmMmtn 0 END_STRIKE Throwing Water on Minister Rev. J. E. Cadwell, through his attorney, Carl L. Heffron, has com- menced suit against Harry Gunsalus, proprietor of the “Big Harry” soft drink parlors, for $1,000 damages. It is alleged that Gunsalus threw wa- ter on Rev. Cadwell while he was glving a county option address in front of Gunsalus’ drink parlor. Attorney Heffron in his statement for Rev. Cadwell, alleges: “(1) That on the 8th day of Au- gust, 1916, the plaintiff, during the early evening of the said day, went to the east side of Minnesota Avenue in the City of Bemidji, Beltrami County, Minnesota, at a place about twenty feet south of the intersection of the said Minnesota Avenue with Third Street in said City, and there took his stand upon the pavement in the said street for the purpose of de- livering an address to the public in support of ‘County Option’ and for the purpose of soliciting votes for the County Option bill which was to be voted upon on the following Monday in the said City and County and in opposition to the ‘Liquor Interests’ which were opposed to the passage of the said County Option measure. Minnesota Avenue and the said Third Street was a saloon building then used austensibly as a soft drink par- lor and commonly known as ‘“Big Harry’s Place” of which place the defendant was owner and proprietor. “(3) That then and there the plaintiff proceeded to deliver the ad- dress before mentioned and while he was in the act of so doing the de- fendant came out of his place of business and wilfully, maliciously and unlawfully assaulted the plain- tiff and did then and there throw a pitcher of water upon the plaintiff with the malicious and unlawful in- tent of interfering with- the plain- tiff in his rights to such an extent as to force him to desist from deliv- ering the said address and for the purpose of ridiculing, humiliating and exposing to the contempt of the public, the said plaintiff. All of which the defendant succeeded in do- ing except that the plaintiff contin- ued the said address in support of the said County Option. “(4) That by reason of the fore- going facts and circumstances the plaintiff has been damaged in "his reputation as a minister of the Gos- “(2) That in front of the plain- tiff and on the corner of the said pel and otherwise in the full sum of one thousand dollars.” Red Lake Indians to Have Exhibit at County Fair Here The Red Lake Inwian agency will have an exhibit at the Beltrami coun- ty fair which will be held Sept. 13- 15, according to W. F. Dickens, su- perintendent of the agency, who was a visitor in Bemidji today. Ar- rangements are being made by the Indians to exhibit bead work and other Indian work, besides entering agricultural exhibits. Best One Ever. Plans are being made to make the Beltrami county fair one of the best county fairs in the. northern part of the staté"this vear. Two thousand dollars will be given in premiums. Already a num- ber of exhibits are being received. It is expected that every farmers’ dod e club in the county will have an ex- hibit. Horse and Auto Races. A program of horse and automo- bile races, besides a program of field events has been arranged for the fair. It is expected that since an exhibit from the Red Lake agency has been entered that a-large num- ber of Indians will attend the fair here. Members of the Red Lake agency are busy preparing their exhibit for the state fair. Superintendent Dick- ens of the agency will have charge of the Indian exhibit at the state fair from- all- the-reservations this. year’ The state fair board has appropriated $200 for agricultural exhibits by In- dians.

Forrest (United Press Staff Correspondent) With the British Army in the Field, July 20.—(By mail)—If it’s possible to imagine dozens of heavy thunder storms blended into one con- tinuous roar, the shrieking and whin- ing of tons of unseen steel and high explosives, racing through the sky, lightning flashes of bursting shells continuously specking the horizon, like a giant Fourth of July display, then it’s partly possible to visualize the newest phase of war on the west- ern front. Just Ugly Bloches, The United Press correspondent saw and heard all this today from a high stretch of ground commanding the scene of a dozen of the most ter- rible conflicts of the British drive. Dotting the green hills and valleys here and there were distinct dots of brown, visible against the naked skeletons of trees. These ugly blotches of landscape a short time ago were pretty villages, each with a church spire and red-topped houses snuggled down between the rolling hills. Today they were mere ugly blotches, mostly a pile of bricks that resembled nothing. Heavy Counter Attack. From the vantage point I observed Vontal Maison, Bazentin le Grand, La Boiselle, Nametz and small woods which have figured prominently in the communiques. Just beyond the ‘range of vision lay Longueval and Delville wood, where at the moment, the Germans were engaged in a heavy counter attack, which gave them back a part of the wood and a few houses of the village. A British attack soon reversed the situation. ‘Fight- ing of this character has been a pe- culiarity of the British offensive. All captured points are strongly held. Wherever the Germans concentrate their reserves and carry out a coun- ter attack, any, success they gain is of short duration. A systematic British advance makes it possible to retaliate quickly, mostly in force. News is Censored. Precaution prevents the publica- tion of news relating to troops and movements of troops, but it can be said with safety that there is mno shortage of shells or men or guns be- hind the British line. From the viewpoint of the non- military observer, there is no short- age of anything. For miles along the tetwork of country roads well be- hind the fighting lines, great masses of men in khaki, most of them wear- ing the picturesque steel helmet, are awaiting for their turn. Motor lor- ries in great droves are also perform- ing their functions. Passing along the roads, miles and miles to the rear khaki is everywhere. Are Taking Rest. Peaceful littre villages, which fate has left so near the ravages of the conflict, still untouched, are -filled with it. Every doorway shows a “Tommy,” every courtyard shows a group of Tommies. These men are in billets. Many of them have had their turn at fighting and are taking a well earned rest. Men, freshly arrived from England, as can be seen from the neweness of their uniforms, are also seen. The veteran fighting Tommy is a trifle more stained. The roadsides are dotted with de- tachments of newer contingents. Schools-of bombing and musketry are scattered here and there. Northern France is one great panorama of ‘war.

The object of this meeting, Mr. Anderson explained, is to ascertain the erop neretfge, the yleld per acre, the actual cost of production and marketing, allowing a reasonable profit. Farmers who have already arrived in Fargo to attend the conference are pessimistic about the wheat produc- tion. This is especially true of North Dakota farmers, many of whom will not even cut their wheat fields.
