DEATH FROM THE FLAG.
Banner Breaks Live Wire, killing
Four Persons.

Banner Breaks Live Wire, killing
Four Persons.
PITTSBURG, July 6.-During the
progress of a terrific rain storm here
four persons were killed in an accident
of most unusual character.
The dead are: Joseph Visa, Giuseppe
ReNda, aged twenty-one years; Mrs.
Francesca Statti, aged fifty-four. and
Giuseppi Statti, her son, aged twenty
two.
All. of the victims except Visa were
of the same family.
A large American flag suspended
from a grocery store became soaked
with the rain, and the high wind blew
it against an electric light wire which
was carrying 1000 volts. The wire
snapped under the pressure and fell
into the street, one end lodging in a
pool of water, charging it to high de-
gree. The first one to fall victim to
the wire was Visa who was running
for shelter from tlre rain. In crossing
the street he stepped into the pool of
water and fell as though he had been
shot. His death was instantaneous.
Shortly after this the Statti family
came driving along the street in a sur
rey. There were seven persons in the
vehicle, and the driver was hurrying
all he could to reach place of shelter
from the storm. As he approached the
broken wire hundreds of people tried
to warn him of the danger, but could
not make him understand until too
late. He tried to pull away from the
wire, but one of the horses stepped into
the highly charged pool of water and
fell paralyzed. The occupants of the
surrey Immediately began TO jump, and
the four who leaped from the side, OPP
posite the wire escaped injury, but the
three on the other side in their excite
ment stepped on the wire and were
'hocked to death almost instantly.

WANT NEW JUDGE
Fifth judicial District Also.
Moves for an Addition
Judge.

Attorneys Of the 18th judicial
district who have undertaken to
persuade the legislature to pro-
vide an additional judge for the
district, will be interested in a
similar move which is on foot in
the Fifth district, of which Bel
trami county is a part. It is ev-
ident that a bill will be introduc-
ed from the Fifth district for an
additional Judge. The fact that
these two districts, whose terri
tory is contiguous, will each ask
for an additional Judge may in
cline the legislature to change
the boundaries Of the districts
and possibly create a new dis
trict, a achange which would prob
ably not be acceptable to the bar
Of the 14th district.

today: Indications all point to

ST understand that the Red

it.

titions for the establishment OF a
new United States land Office up
into the new land area. Without
question, this should be done,
and I believe it will be. The ac-
commodations and conveniences
Of settlers in making entries and
attending hearings and making
final proofs must be consid cred.
A new Office in the center at res.
eryation activity will be in the
interest Of the settlers and the
government alike. The secreta-
ry Of the interior can change ex-
isting boundary lines Of the land
districts without congressional
action, but I should support a
a bill outright to locate a land
office in the new territory for the
