Before U. 8. Commissioner. Here. EXTENDS INTO BALDWIN Considerable Quantity of Mash is Confiscated and Real Cop- per Still Found. Some prohibition raids were staged north of the city, in the vicinity of Baldwin yesterday afternoon and sey- eral farmers were summoned to ap- pear before United States Commission- er John F. Fort’ in Bismarck this morning for preliminary hearings. A considerable amount of moonshine whiskey was. found by officers who made the search, according to F. L. Watkins, state license department in- spector. Others on the raid were J. E. Stone and C. E. Warfield, federal enforcement officers; and two deputy sheriffs who were called upon to serve the search warrants sworn out be- fore Police Magistrate Howell, The farmers were not engaged in running booze from the Canadian bor- der, it is said, but were making it on their places or evidence showed they had made it. Rum running from the Canadian border was greatly in- creased lately, according to federal prohibition officers. One of the routes is said to. be from Estevan through Minot. Automobiles loaded wit! booze have frequently been seen north of Bismarck, according to re- ports in circulation here. Visit Risch Home The first place visited by the en- forcement party yesterday afternoon was that of John Risch, three miles northeast of Arnold. Risch was not at home, but his wife and) children were there, Mr. Watkins said. A real copper still was found, the officer said, and in addition about 90 gallons of mash and about 7 quarts of moon- shine. Mr. Watkins asserted thal Risch had peddled whiskey far and wide, according to his information. The still was confiscated. The second farm visited was abou'|! three miles northeast, the home of El- mer Ames. A big cooker was obtain- ed there, Mr. Watkins said, Ames tell- ing him he’d loaned: the coil to an- other ‘man, Amés said he hadn’t cooked’ any mash for a couple of months, but admitted he’d made the stuff both at home and at the Van Couches, according to Watkins. “Where did you get that you sold me,” Watkins asked. “I bought it.” replied Ames, accord- ing to Watkins. Ames had sold the moonshine for from $2 to $4 a quart, the ‘agent ‘said he was informed. Files in Mash At the Van Couch home the party found a milk can filled with moon- shine mash, about 40: gallons in 2 barrel, and another keg of 5 gallons of mash. Most of it was said to be ready to cook. A big lead coil was found, but no cooker. Watkins said Van Couch admitted making moon- shine with Ames and with Couche’s father-in-law, Joe Parsons. “The people who drink this moon- shine don't know what they are drinking,” said Watkins. “We found 10 gallons of mash scurred in a milx can. There were thousands of flies in the granary where this was and the mash was filled with dead flies.” The party then went to another farm on which Morris Satter lives to search for whiskey, but found no in- dication of anything cooked. Going into Baldwin the party visit- ed the Frank Kocher home, which was searched and two and one-half gallons of moonshine confiscated, the officers said. Star Whiskey Maker “Friends of Kocher say he makes the best moonshine of anybody around in that part of the country,” said Watkins. Elmer Ames, Joe Parsons, Van Couch and F. J. Kocher appeared be- fore the United States commissioner. It was understood they would ask a hearing, which would be set for Au- gust 31. < ONE IS KILLED IN FIGHT OVER “PRIVATE STOCK” Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 27.—A party was in progress at the home of Char- les W.

STATES FIGHT OVER BOUNDARY OF LONG STRIP Texas and Oklahoma Have Legal Battle, Because of Shifting River |Bank. OLD LANDS. CONTESTED Piece of Land 500 Miles Long Are | Subject to Much Debate and a Legal Tangle. Austin, Tex., Aug. 27-—One of the greatest legal struggles the Unite ; States has ever Known will. dev2lop from the Texas-Oklahoria boundary ‘suit now pending in:the United States {Supreme court, accordiny to C. W. | Taylor, Texas assistant attoruey gen- ‘erat. The United States, Oklahoma and Texas claim’ jurisdiction over the lands involved, None of the factions in tne three cornered fight is advancing claims for definite bodies of land this early in the struggle. » In’ a genera! way ; Oklahoma claims that the south hanix ,of the Red river, as it floWed in 1819 ‘when the treaty betiveen Spain and the United States fixed the boundary ! between their respective holdings is \the line. The United States:supports the Oklahoma contention where Indi- ‘an lands are involvéd and claims jurisdiction over these lands. Texas contents that the center of the present | river bed is’ the boundary 500 Mile Strip Cotitested These conflicting claims leave the title to.a strip of land along the !meandering of the river for at least five hundred miles in doubt. Only |the length of the strip is definitely set out in the claims. Its width varies trom a few feet to several miles. Texas will first contend for the ‘middle of the river as the boundary. 'Mr. Taylor said, and if it loses this fight will claim’ the ordinary high {water mark of the present rivay 2s ,the south bank. . Every foot of the jland south of the high water mark jon this side of the river will be con- {tested. If Oklahomads claim that the {river has‘shifted north in places since ‘the treaty was signed is allowed, he }continued, Texas will ask that ‘homa be required to prove every shift of the river which allows encroach- ment upon soil now held by Texa: | In rebuttal, he added, it is possible |that Texas will attefnpt to prove that places, and thus placed Texas land on the Oklahoma side. Oklahoma has ‘designated only o or two points jwhere it is alleged: the river has (shifted north. jy Gi bank peted In the south hank of the river in !1819 is fixed as the boundary, Mr. aylor said, the question of fixing the old bank of the stream will in- crease the magnitude of the suit, which will then resolve itself into ja series of tangles with masses of evidence to support claims and coun- ter Claims at numerous points, alongs the river. The boundary between the two states has been disputed practically ever since the land was worth claim- ing. While Oklahoma was a terri- tory the United States entered suit land recovered Greer county from Texas on the grounds that the south branch of the river, instead of the north branch was the boundary and that all the land in the forks of the river belonged to Oklahoma. But the dispute. between the two states! was held to local properties unti? the dis- covery of oil on the Texas side in Wichita county. Then in November 1919, Oklahoma claimed lands betweer: jon the Texas side under the allega- ition that ‘the river had shifted from |the bluffs northward since the treaty was signed, and from this suit grew the one involving the whole boundary. Practically all land involved is held under the title issued either hy Texas or Oklahoma. If jurisdiction over lands is changed, these titles will become void, it is said, and, the prop- erty subject to resale by’ the state jacquiring it, unless provisions are made to the contrary in the settle-- ment of the suit. The first hearing of this case he- fore the supreme court is set for November 15, when the question of | whether the decision in the Greer county case sliall apply in this sult will, be submitted.

Marion, Ohio., Aug. 27.—Confidence that Senator Warren G. Harding will secure the establishment of an accept- able international _ tribunal was ex- pressed in a statement made public here by Cl les Evans Hughes, the 1916 Republican presidential candi- date, who came to Marion yesterday to talk over campaign issues with the senator and his advisers. “It is hardly necessary for me to, 3ay that | shall earnestly support Sen- | ator Harding,” the statement: said. “He is a man of rare poise, highmind- ed and sincere. No one can meet him! without being impressed by his ex- ceptional capacity and his integrity of purpose. “We cannot afford to have a Tam- manyized federal government. The| nomination of Governor Cox was brought about by the skilful and de-! termined effort of local democratic bosses who represent the most bane- ful influences in our political life. There is one sure way {fo defeat their effort # capture the government at Washington, and that is to beat their! candidate. “I believe also that Senator Hard-! ing'acelection will afford sihesurest way of securing our, proper relation to international ‘cooperation. This country must do its part, but it must reserve the right to act in any fu- ture contingency according to ita duty as that contingency reveals it. The essentials in any really effective plan for international cooperation are to establish a tribunal of inter- national justice, to provide the ma- chinery of conciliation and to secure the advantages of international con-! ference, All this can be secured, and | I believe will be secured under the presidency of Mr. Harding, without guaranties which attempt to commit us in unknown contingencies and which will serve as trouble breeders and not as peacemakers.” GHEMTS. WIL HEAR PLAN TO GET GASOLINE Chicago, Aug. 27.—New ways of ob- tion of it direct from natural gas will be described at the sixtieth gen- eral meeting of the American Chemi- cal Society opening here September 4, it is announced. How more power can be obtained from the derivatives of petroleum torms one of the important subjects of discussion. pervising chemist of the chemical section of the Pittsburgh experiment station of the United States Bureau | of Mines, and his associates, A.

Another paper fuelssymposium describes how arti cial gas can be produced in larg: quantities and at lower cost by en-; riching it with natural gas in re- gions where that vapor is : able.

HORSE SURPLUS OF STATE. WILL AD UP FOR SALE Minot, N. D., Aug. 27. — County agents of eight northwestern North Dakota counties were in conference in Minot yesterday with H, B. Fuller, director of agents, and Silbey Hoop- er, assistant, planning work for the j fall. months. Most important among the several projects considered were the pooling of wool and the conduct of a series of at least 30 horse sales in western North Dakota. The horse sale plan contemplates the disposal of surplus horses in the western part of the state. Accord- ing to Mr. Fuller, investigation has disclosed that it costs from $140 to $160 a year to maintain a horse. In western counties the! agents have found that there are more. horses than are required to handle the work. Sales Open Oct. 1 Kd. S. Delancey of Valley City, is associated with the extension de- partment of the North Dakota Agri- cultural college in disposing of the horses. Market for the heavy horses is expected to be found among Mich- igan lumbering firms, while the light- er horses will be placed with: St. Louis buyers. The sales will be held within the state commencing about Oct. 1-in Golden Valley county. Mr. Delancey already has interested -nu- merous prospective biders in the sales. The wool pool that is being organ- i ed this year contemplates the pool- ing of wool in Fargo. About 325,000 pounds of wool already is stored in Fargo, while it is expected that as much more will be added to the sup- ply. Mr. Fuller told the agents. that there is no market for wool at this time; that the farmers storing wool for which warehouse receipts are is- sued, are able to borrow about 20 cents a pound on the product, that being the present market; and that it is expected to sell.at about 50 cents that the wool market will strengthen. Under the state wide wool pool plan, wool will be sold direct to the mills, and will be shipped from Far- go to the mills without the services of brokers or commission houses. The first of the county agent con- ferences was held in Bismarck Tues- and the series will close at Far- turday. OF LIQUOR GROWS London, Aug. 27.—Convictions for drunkeness in England and Wales in 1919 was nearly double the figure for 1918. The total was 57,948 as com- pared with 29,075, according to an official report just issued. Great London and northern England a counted for 93 per cent of the total. Among some of the reasons given for the increase are that there are more men at home and fewer of them in khaki, more policement and those less overworked available for street duty, more hours for drinking and stronger liquo ENOUGH LABOR _ IN DISTRICT The labor demands of this district are pretty well filled, according to the eport of the federal employment bu- reau here.
