ELEVATORS JAMMED, MANAGERS REQUEST PERMITS T0 CLOSE Heaviest Delivery Is in Northern and Western Part of State; Houses Open Here — Crowding at local elevators in some parts of North Dakota has resulted in numerous inquiries to the state rail- road board indicating that some ele- vators may seek permits to close in the near future, it was said at the board offices today. Under the law an elevator must ac- cept grain as long as it is open for business. Some elevator managers have reported that their houses are blocked, or nearly so, and are con- templating closing in order to avoid more grain delivered to them than they can handle. The heaviest delivery of grain in this state has occurred in the north- western and western parts of the state. In the southern and central parts of the state some elevators which operat- ed last year failed to open this year be- cause of the short grain crop, records of the board show. Among its other duties the board has charge of grain arehouses. {|Large Gathering of Towns- jwith Huddleston’s daughter. people Look on While Farm- ers Shoot Each Other 1 Tee: | ENMITY OVER ELOPEMENT! One Became Enraged Because the Other Made Love to His Daughter; Both Married Clover, Ga., Aug. 23.—(AP)—Two men who met in the center of town by tryst to fight a duel with shot-| guns at arm’s length were dead to- day as the culmination of a father’s objection to a married man’s pur- ported attentions to his daughter. The duel, witnessed by a gathering of townspeople, marked the end of months of enmity between Pate Hud- dleston, 53, and Marcus Brown, 42, both farmers. The trouble between them was climaxed by the second alleged elopement of Brown, who was the father of eight children, The father sent a message to Brown warning him to desist in at- tentions to his daughter. Brown, in- furiated by the message, was said to have challenged the father to} meet him by a designated store on the town’s principal street yester- day afternoon. The townspeople had heard little of the challenge, and a crowd of-men had gathered with hope of prevent- ing the duel. Huddleston had already arrived and was seated in front of the store with a shotgun on his Jap when Brown came up, also carrying a shot- gun. Both guns were loaded with buckshot. Brown wheeled, firing the load of ‘one barrel into Huddleston’s stomach. Huddleston, fatally wounded, fired from his hip, the charge taking ef- fect in Brown’s chest and causing instant death.

RAIN REMAINS ONLY HOPE IN BATTLE WITH WESTERN FIRES Queen Is Ill ANE More Than 2,000 Men Are Ar-; tayed Against Flames in Montana and Idaho GEM STATE FIRE ADVANCES Forestry Service Is Spending $30,000 a Day in Attempt to Save Property Missoula, Mont., Ag. 23.—(AP) —More than 2,000 men today were fighting forest fires in western Mon- tana and northern Idaho, but rain remained the only hope of saving large areas of timber. The fires already have burned over thousands of acres. The Bald Mountain fire in north- ern Idaho threatened a large stand of timber on the south side of the Loscha river and was slowly advanc- ing in that section, despite desperate efforts to stop it. Emergency crews,: fighting on a four mile front, have the Half Moon fire in the Blackfeet forest in Mon- tana, partly under control and it was believed that danger to towns in the region had passed. A fire at Wales and Your Name creek, near here, was spreading rapidly despite efforts of some 300 fire fighters. Forest officials here estimated that the forestry service is spending $30,000 a day in fighting forest fires in this district.

Important troop movements were in progress, both in the U.S. S. R., and by the Provincial and Chinese governments, although there was nothing to indicate there had been an actual outbreak of fighting be- tween the rival armies other than minor border clashes. Chinese sources maintained they had information of an impendin Russian advance in strength, wit! the plan of battle given as advance on Pogranichnaya from two sides, after which Harbin would be taken, with Soviet gunboats advancing down the Sungari river to aid in the fighting. | The Soviet organization was re- {ported to be completed, with Gen- eral Blucher taking command of the army of the far east with General Al Budenny, famous cavalry leader, his chief subordinate. The Nanking central government. was said to have offered even more reinforcements after the Manchurian government’s request. A high military council held at Mukden was said to have placed command in the Harbin area in the hands of General Chang Tso Heian, so-called “string man” of Manchurit So grave was the situation consid- ered it was decided to withhold 20 per cent of”salaries of all officials to purchase war materials.

If necessary, the Ni authorities will be petitioned to des- patch reinforcements and also pro- vide money for war materials.” FORMER CASHIER OF BANK PLEADS GUILT Elmer N.
