BISMARCK HORSES TAKE FIRST MONEY AT FARGO Major Ong,Owned by J. R. Waters Cops 2:10 Pace, and First | Fashion Wins Two Bismarck horses took first money at the Fargo fair last week, when Major Ong, owned by J. R. Waters, state examiner, captured three out of four heats in the 2:10 pace for a purse of $500, and First Fashion, owned by Jeff May, first in a five-eighths ne 34 race. Major Ong’s best tima._made over a heavy track, was 2:12. Under better conditions, jthe Water's horse would easily have made his mile un- der 2:10. First Fashion made a good showing against a poor field and on a track not made for running. The horse is a thoroughbred, well known in this city. JAMESTOWN BROKE ALL HEAT RECORDS IN N. 0. _— ‘(Continued tromPage One) hail stoi ‘al 10 miles long and two miles wide, and which covered’ thé ground to a depth of two inches, wiping out crops and damag- ing stock and property. Suffering Saturday throughout the state was intense. Everywhere fields are reported to have withered up. Irreparable damage was done injmany sections. Pastures were burned bare. Stockmen in many sections are al- ready planning to sell their herds. The rains have helped pastures some, ‘but nothing short of a steady 24 hours’ downpour will revive the graz- ing to a point ere any hay can be cut. Lah “¢ékn, take! Bothtdes. Corn) Max} Potatosstdnd late oats were the greatest sufferers. Wheat and rye generally dre so far along that they could not be much more harmed. Everywhere Saturday farm- ers were reported to be preparing to plow under fields which would not pay for the harvesting. Although no lives were lost in yes- terday’s storm, which swept over this section of Ransom county, causing severe loss to property and crops, reports received here today indicated ‘that the total damage done by the storm would be considerable. While no definite estimate could be made as to the probable amount of dam-|° age done, on account of interrupted wire communication, Lisbon is said to have suffered a loss of $50,000. The storm, which covered an area 30 miles long and 60 miles wide swept down with tremendous force. ‘Livestock, buildings and crops, in the storm area, were levelled to the ground in many cases, according to the reports. CANE BOARD SCORKS MORTON COUNTY AND BUYS (IN BOTTINEAU Rather than Be Bilked by ‘‘Com- mission Men,’’ It Pays More for Smaller Tract Rather than be bilked -by Morton county “commission men,” who, ac- cording to a recent “expose” are a very bad bunch, the ‘North Dakota game and fish board at a meeting here voted to locate the proposed game farm in Bottineau county, and to pay a larger sum for a smaller tract as a site for the farm, about three miles outside of ‘Bottineau. Mrs. Sarah Kaulbfeisch is the own- er of the 70-acre tract which the board voted to buy at $30 the acre. (Mrs. Kaulbfleisch is the wife of John Kaulbflesch, an employe of the Imper- ial Lumber Co. at Bottineau. } Can Propagate Trout Judge John H. Kirk of Bottineau, a member of the board who favored switching the location of the farm from Morton to Bottineau county, ex- plained today that the Bottineau tract is fed by springs and has a good all year roun stream running throught it. Brook trout, Judge Kirk states, can be propagated there, and this would not have been true of the Morton county tract. Land surround- ing the game farm site has_been leased for a game refuge. A hatch- ery will be installed, and an exper- jenced game farmer ‘will be placed in charge. The board also considered improv- ments to the hatchery at Lake Upsi- lon, near St. John. It approved the recent purchase of a Ford by John I. Eloom, fish commissioner, to be used instead of a team in transporting fish fry from the hatchery to the station. ™ay ‘Be Lucky Later Morton county, or some spot in central county, may later have the good fortune to get a game tarm. For the present, all of the hatcheries, game farms and other impedimvntia f the commission will be located in the northern part of the state, near the Canadian line, where a majority of the members of the commission reside, making it more convenient fot all’'the ‘board members. ‘Those ‘in attendance at the meet- ing heré included Commissioner John I. Bloom‘of Devils’ Lake, Dr. Charles MacLachlan of'"'''New Rockford, George M. ‘Hogue: of Steele, secre- tary, and Judge Kirk. I. W. W. Fired; Fires’ Prairie; Tons of Hay Burned for Revenge Mott, ‘N.

After a conference arranged at the White ‘House-between Senator Cham- berlain and the president to meet again in an effort to smooth out the only remaining points of difference. The president was expected to insist on an abondonment of the plan of establishing a congressional commit- tee for the supervision of the war) expenditures, President Wilson declared his op- position to an amendment to the food control bill now in conference pro- viding for an administrative board of three instead of one and for the; creation ef a congressional commit- tee on expenditurgs in the conduct of the war. Methods of increasing revenues from the war tax mill from at least $1,943,000,000 from its present to- tal $1,670,000,000 were considered to- day by the senate finance committee. Chairman Simmons hoped to report the revised bill to the senate by Thursday or Friday, so that debate might begin by the first of next week at the least. Tentative plans call for the remainder of the. additional amount from excess profits on ‘to- bacco. Woman Mrs.. Totten Entertained Indicted ByFederalGrandJury Fargo, N. D., July 30.—Mrs. Kate O’Hara, a socialist lecturer, who was alleged to have made an unpatriotic Aldress at Bowman, N. D., recently, pleaded not guilty in the federal dis- trict court here today on a charge of having obstructed enlistments, after being indicted here late Saturday by the Federal grand jury. Mrs. O’Hara was entertained by Mrs. E. P. Totten, postmistress, at Bowman, and her husband,’ the night | w after she is declared to have made the speech. Senator McCumber, on the floor of the senate recently declared that ne was ‘informed that the postmistress and‘ Her husband were active in anti- enlistment propaganda work in Bow- iman, and as a résult federal investi- gation was begun but so far the fed- eral grand jury has failed to return any indictment against Mrs. Totten. SUSPECTED INFANTILE PARALYSIS CASE TURNS OUT TO BE BLOOD CLOT \Not satisfied with a diagnosis which attributed ‘the death in the Bismarck hospital of Floyd ©. Weber, little three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Weber of Cleveland, to infantile paralysis, Dr. W. H. Bodenstab per- formed a post mortem examination whichéstablished the fact that infan- tile’ paralysig_was not present, and that death was‘due to a blood-clot the size of a walnut in the right occipital region. The Weber child was seized with convulsions and vomiting at the home of his. parents in Cleveland several days ago. Twenty-four hours prior to his death he was brought to the Bis- macrk hospital, where he regained consciousness for only a few mo- ments. Some symptoms of the little sufférer's malady indicated infantile paralysis, and there was much anxiety when it first was reported that he was afflicted with this scourge.

ASKS U8, SUPREHE COURT: TO PASS ON ANGENT DOCTRINE Fargo-Moorhead Street Railway Company Appeals to High- est. Tribunal Whether the ancient fellow-servant doctrine can: be’made to apply in this day. of intensified industry to person- al injury sustained through the negli- gence of a fellow eniploye is a ques- tion which the United States su- preme. court willbe’ asked to answer in, the case of James Peterson ver- sus the Fargo-Moorhead Street Rail- way. Co., appealed’ today by the de- fendant company from a ruling of the North Dakota’ supreme court, re- versing a decision of Judge Pollock in the Cass county district court in favor of the defendant, and demand- ing the ‘action. for retrial. Peterson was a conductor on the Fargo-Moorhead ‘street railway, and|’ he was injured, it;is alleged, through the carelessness of the motorman on his car. The fellow servant doctrine as a defense has been eliminated by, ‘North Dakota statute in the case of common carrier. «Judge Pollock ‘rul- ed this statute. to ‘be class iegislation and unconstitutional when he direct- ed a verdict in district court in fa- vor of the street: railway company. In- reversing Judge Pollock, the su- preme court held the street railway company @ common carrier under. the terms’ of the: statute and upheld the copstitutionality ofthe act. i © ‘Fargo-Moorhead line also chances to be an interstate carrier, which.enables it: to. obtain dir, ‘tion on ‘its’ appeal from the’ States supreme court.

REGIMENTAL BAND HERE WEDNESDAY Famoys Harvey : Organization Will Be Stationed With Headquarters Company The second ‘regimental band, Har-|; vey’s famous 28-piece organization, will arrive in Bismarck not later than Wednesday noon to be stationed here permanently as a part of the head- quarters company under ‘command of Capt. H.' T. Murphy until the second ‘regiment moves. The band played last week at the Fargo fair and -has just completed. a long concert tour. It was inspected yesterday by Capt. F. A. Cooke, U. S. A, at Fargo, and’ Capt. Murphy, who was present, states the band- men made an_ excellent’ showing. Captain Cooke in company with Cap- tain’ Murphy also inspected his- half of the second regiment with the in- spection of the Langdon company to- day. He and Captain Huddleston, who join forces at Fargo on Wednes- day, report at once by wire. their recommendations as to federal recog- nition for the second, Captain Murphy is at a loss to pro- vide accomodations for the regimen- tal ‘band. ‘No cots or blankets: are available, and even if there were, there’ is little space to let in the ar; mory, where the members of Co. 1 are quartered. Captain Murphy has turned his dilemma over to Sécretary Keniston of the Commercial club. It it anticipated that inasmuch as Bis- marck will derive.much entertain- ment from ‘the’ presence of the band here, it will not be slow in seeing that they are provided with suitable sleeping accomodations.
