The convention unanimously adopt- ed a resolution urging :modification of the Volstead act to permit manu- facture’ and sale of beer.

D., June 22.—Raymond Everetts, the 11-year-old son of Tom Everetts, one of the three victims of the cloudburst near Medora, N. D., located the body of his father after search parties had searched fruitlessly for the ‘past three: days. a Young Everetts had a dream in which he saw the place where his father’s: body lay and insisted that he be taken there as he was positive where it was located. He gave such a vivid description of the location that credence was given to his assertions and he was taken to the spot. The people looked around the place, he described—a washout near the fence on the right away—and were about to give up but the boy insisted that his father was there and to satisfy him one of the men went to the spot indicated, and just as the boy said, he was under the wire in the water and adrfit. The body was in a comparatively good state of preservation considering the fact that it had been so long in the water. The bodies of the other two victims were found yesterday. This is the second time that young Everetts has had a prophetic vision. Several years ago he told the family that an aunt had died and described her death and in a few hours a telegram confirmed his prophecy.

Adams of ee Association CO-OPERATION IS SCORED Big Cattle on Marketing Staged at Mill City Meet, June 22-24 Minneapolis, Minn., June 22.—Meet- ing in one of the most important con- ventions ever held by that body, the Tri-State County Grain Shippers asso- ciation will convene in annual session here June 22, 23 and 24. County grain. shippers from North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Wis- consin, which makes up the assocla- tion, are expected to be well repre- sented. About 1,500 delegates are ex- pected at the convention. according to J. H. Adams, secretary of the associa- tion. Importance of the meeting will be emphasized by the position taken dur- ing the convention ‘in regard to the newly created Farm Bureau Federa- tion. Taken as a whole, the graiu shippers’ association ‘is unalterably opposed to the federation and its col- laborator, the Committee of Seven- teen,” Mr. Adams said. Both he and A. E. Reynolds, chairman of the legis- lative committee of the Grain Dealers National Association, of Toledo, Obto. will speak at length on this subject, he sald. Secretary Adams charged that the Farm Bureau Federation scheme as followed out now, is the same plan sponsored by the Nonpartisan League some time ago, although league lead- ers “are not all at the head of the affair.” Costs Lot of Money. in the river at the time of the trag-|' the girls, clasped together, go under river, eight miles west. of Finley, ing to Call |STOCK PENS ARE BURNED Livestock is Saved But Damage Said to Amount to $4,000 to $5,000 ponent oo a Fire which just oefore last midnight in the killing house of the stock barrs and yards of George W.

Policeman Ed Randell was serious- ly dnjured_on duty at the fire. He and Policoman Ed. Serres were head- ing off cars coming down Fifth street, to clear the way for firemen. John Nord came down the street with Fire Chief Bob Jager in his automobile. Randell tried to head him off, not knowing he was carrying the fire chief. The auto hit him while going at a speed Serres estimated to be 25 miles an hour. Randell was given medical atten- tfon and was in bed today. A bone in his left arm was fractured, his shoul- der wrenched and his body badly bruised. It is feared he may have suffered internal injuries. Cause Dehated, The cause of the fire is not deter mined. Mr. Gussner said that he was unable to say how it startea. Fire- men said that it was probable the blaze started from a fire left in the killing house in the center of the yards. Six hogs had been killed and were hanging up in the building, they said, and they believed the fire had not been extinguished. Some express- ed the opinion that the fire was in- cendiary. A number of hogs and cattle were} in the barns and yards. Mr. Guss- ner stated this morning he believed all stock was saved. The loss, Gussner estimated at $4,000 to $5,000 and ‘he sald he did not believe that he had any insurance. The fire was discovered in the cen- ter of the stock barns after it had gained a quick headway. There was little firemen could do except to con- fine the blaze as much as possible, and save a part of the low barns.

There is, however, no indication of when the present train service will be changed. The Red Trail is open all the way through the Bad Lands, according to a telephone message received over the telephone by G. N. Keniston from County Auditor W. T. Ray, of Billings county. The county commissioners of that county have the roads in good shape, and the rivulets which were swollen by the cloudbursts, are now virtually try and easily passable, the message added. Northern Pacific trains, which had been deterred to Havre, now lead the N. P. tracks at Glendive, according to information received here, indicating the new washouts in Montana were quickly repaired. Carloads of gravel are being rushed through Bismarck to the Bad Lands. where a great force of men are re- pairing the railroad damage.
