Gates, 59-year-old Hazelton farmer, was in a local hospital Sat- urday. Gates was burned about the face, arms, hands, and legs but is not in serious condition, according to his at- tending physician. The farmer was siphoning the gaso- - line from the tank on his automobile to a pail when the explosion occurred. It probably was caused when he plac- ed a lantern too near the gasoline stream. Gates was brought here immediate- ly after the mishap, entering the hos- Pitel at 10:30 p.m. His farm is 14 miles northwest of Hazelton. ? | they can to relieve those in need, the | pontiff writes, and if they need more | they must get it from their superiors. | The stricken ‘with the Minneapolis Tribune, Mil- |ranged by a group of friends and at- ; accomplishments of Milloy in build- + | will continue many of the projects in {those two states, Mnotena and South Dakota. —?

D., Oct. 3.—()—James :S. Milloy heard more good things| said about him Friday night than ever before in his life. Retiring as secretary of the Greater North Da- kota association to become. associated loy was guest of honor at # dinner in the Fargo chamber of commerce, ar- tended by 150 of them from North Dakota and other sections of the northwest. North Dakota's chief executive and other speakers united in praising the ing an organization six years ago unique in the United States and: ope- rating it so effectively that since then the three states surrounding North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and South Dakota, have established bodies patterned after the ‘one in this state. New Employer Talks Declaring the people of Minnesota and North Dakota have the same culture, the same habits, the same interests, F. E. Murphy, publisher of the Minneapolis Tribune, said Milloy which he is now engaged but that his field will be extended to include “If not a word were said, this gathering in itself would be testi- mony of the work you have been do- ing,” said H. D. Pauison, editor of th Fargo Forum and toastmaster, in addressing the honored guest. “Ten years ago a number of state and local organizations were work- ing on various development projects,” said C. E. Danielson, Minot, presi- dent of the Greater North Dakota association. Milloy welded them into) a single, efficient organization.” RYAN IS APPOINTED ACTING EXECUTIVE Fargo, N. D., Oct. 3—(P)—At a meeting of the executive committee of the Greater North Dakota associa- tion Friday, the resignation of James S. Milloy was accepted as secretary and he was named chairman of the board of directors. Announcement was made that M. O.

Gust Eckwortzel had been fighting with his brother John. Frank Ereth became similarly in- | volved when he and his brother, Vincent, got into a dispute. As a result Gust and Frank were hailed into court to answer charges of assault and battery. Vincent charged Frank with striking him after an argument over room rent while John al- leged that Gust slapped him fol- lowing a quarrel over horses. The Ereths are from Fort Rice and the Eckwortzels live near Blue Grass. ; Both dfendants pleaded guilty and were assessed fines and costs totaling $20 each.

Following a conference, they plan to go to Washington, where they will ask Secretary Arthur Hyde for a modifi- cation of regulations so funds may be advanced more easily to producers of livestock as loans to carry their herds over the winter. Governors George Shafer, North Dakota; Warren E. Green, South Da- kota, and J. BE. Erickson, Montana, plan to present a united plea for a change in the regulations for the making of loans. Under the plan, holders of first- mortgage security on livestock are asked to give up thelr prior liens and share with the government apportion- ment of claims against the livestock on which loans are made. Shafer said most farmers in the’ stricken counties already have or- rowed from banks, livestock loan companies and credit companies on their stock, and, under the present. regulations of the government that the government share 50 per cent in the first lien on the cattle, were un- able to benefit from the federal loans. “The present regulations place - a other financial houses that already have toaned to the farmers since they would have to surrender half of the collectable value of their loan,” Shafer said. Green pointed out that with many loans on cattle made by banks now closed, the farmers seeking govern- ment loans were placed in an unfav- orable position, since the receivers of closed banks cannot very well jeo- pardize assets by giving the govern- ment a 50-per-cent interest in the first len on the cattle. Erickson said recent rains have improved materially the condition of the ranges so they will be in good shape until snow flies. The governors of the three states have completed surveys showing the status of mortgages in the drouth area, which data they will present to Secretary Hyde. The Farmers’ Union Terminal as- sociation reports eight of nine cars of foods, clothing and fruits have been obtained from various points in Min- nesota, Wisconsin and eastern North Dakota to be used for the drouth suf- ferers of northwestern North Dakota and northeastern Montana. Nevada Gold Rush | Attracts Hundreds , 6 _—_———+ Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 3.— (®)—A gold rush was on Satur- day as hundreds of prospectors and amateur miners headed for the hidden Forest Mountain range, 48 miles northeast of Las Vegas. An assay of samples of ore revealed a reported value of $5,000 per ton. Automobiles took the more fortunate to the mountainous country. Others went on mule back and some started afoot. A local restaurant man, vet- eran of five gold rushes, said he planned to go to the scene. “Tl get $3 for ham and eggs,” was his boast. Investigate Hanging Of Rutland Resident Rutland, N. D., Oct. 3—()—An in- quest was being conducted here Sat- urday into the death of John C. Johnson, 38-year-old Rutland resident found hanging in a garage here Thursday morning. A coroner's jury expected to bring in a verdcit of suicide as finger prints found on a hammer beside Johnson’s body and Johnsons are identical, ac- cording to Andrew Quam, finger print expert of the Fargo police depart- ment. It was thought Johnson may have been murdered as marks of a ham- mer were found on his skull. ‘The finger print report indicates he beat himself with the hammer be- fore his death by strangulation.

Scotland Stirred By New Disorders Sunday School Body] Police Clear Streets and Re-! store Order After Battle With Mob MANIFESTATION BROKEN UP Shops Are Broken Open and Food and Other Merchan- ! dise Is Stolen Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 3—(#)— The most vindictive rioting and loot- | ing in years, extending intermittently over two nights and a day, came to a climax early Saturday when police \Swept the streets clean and restored | order. Resuming about 8:30 Friday night, the battle between jobless men dem- onstrating against dole reduotions, and the forces of the law raged for more than six hours. An undeter~ mined number of the rioters snd several police were injured and up- wards of 100 arrests were made. The melee began when police charged a body of about 100 men holding a manifestation outside the jail in which John McGovern, labcr |M. P., and his lieutenants were held jfor Thursday night's outbreak. Al- most simultaneously trouble started jin the Gallowgate, Glasgow’ and other sections of the city. Far outnumbered, the police tried on foot and horeback to disperse the mobs. They charged time and again with loaded batons and the rioters replied with hammers, hatchets ard makeshift weapons of every descrip- tion. A variety of missiles thrown from neighboring houses added to the uproar. As fast as the demonstrators were driven off the main streets they darted into alleys and formed for re- newed attacks. Throughout the night and early hours they broke in- jto countless: shops and carried away great stocks of food and other mer- chandise. The damage was estimaved| at thousands of pounds and the loss in: foodstuffs was considered incal- culable. The police finally got the upper hand and mounted patrol over Streets that were littered with loot and the debris of battle. Scores cf marauders were dragged into police stations with blood streaming from their wounds. A few went to hospi- tals and hundreds nursed battered heads and broken limbs within the privacy of their homes. The outbreaks occurred in all parts of the city. Their object seemingly was the theft and destruction ot property as a protest against the government's economy measures.

The holdup occurred across the street from police headquarters with scores of witnesses. One woman was slightly injured during the ex- change of shots between the bandits and a messenger. Ten minutes after the trio of ban- dits held up the messengers, Bruce Britts, 22, and Peter Merstad, 65, they commandeered a car driven by Clarence Bertram, kidnaped him and forced him to accompany them for about 40 miles north of Duluth where they released him.
