EIGHT FRENCHMEN KILLED
Moors Lost Heavily in Recent Fight
at Casa Blanca.

Casa Blanca, Sept. 5.-Eight French
men were killed and seventeen wound
ed in an engagement Monday outside
the camp. The dead include Major
Provost Of the First battalion Of the
Foreign legion and Lieutenant BeniZ-
zas Of the Second battalion of AL
gerian sharpshooters. The Moors
concentrated the largest force they
had yet mustered in this vicinity and
returned to the attack again and again
after encountering the deadly fire of
the French artillery and machine
guns. The enemys losses are de-
scribed as enormous. The fighting
was started by an attack made by the
Moors On French scouting party.
About 5000 Moors participated in
Mondays fight. The Moors, who were
repulsed On all sides, made most i'm
pressive picture as, garbed fantas-
tically, mounted on white horses and
carrying their banners in the front
line, they swept down from the hills
In splendid formation and charged
thunderously to within about 400
yards of the French camp, which for a
moment seemed to be in danger of
being Overridden.

preliminary Injunction in the suits
brought by number of stock
holders Of ten railroads operating in
Minnesota for the purpose of enjoin-

These suits are regarded by lawyers
as among the most important that
have been brought in a generation, as
the ultimate decision thereon will de-.
fine the respective powers of the fed
eral and state governments in regard
to rate regulation over roads engaged
in interstate commerce. The ques-
tion is whether the state in regulating
local rates interferes with the exercise
of the recognized powers of the gen.
eral government to regulate interstate
commerce.

anches-We will bore the second hole.
Next stretch q chalk line from center
to center Of these holes and bore the
third hole halfway between the other
two and on the chalk mark. Now we
will bring the other slab up close to
and behind the front slab, fat side to
the north, but with the end slipped
west to a point within three or four
inches Of the first hole we bored, and
after carefully adjusting the slabs
we can mark for all three holes on the
we will prepare three stakes and slip
the slabs on to the stakes about thirty
inches apart and wedge them Sc
curely. 4
These stakes should be sawed Off
smoothly in front or they will clog
the earth as it drifts along the slab,
but the wedges and stake ends may
protrude at the rear, where they will
save you much time and bother by
mutely explaining exactly how the
slabs are held together.
The hitch may be a strong wire or
chain. A trace chain and one-half is
about the right length. Pass one end
over the top OF the front slab at the
rear end and loop it around the stake;
the other end should be passed through
a hole made for it two or three inches
from the ditch end and at the center of
the slab.
If forced to use plank, get elm or
cypress 2 by r. Of the proper length
and a 2 by Of the same length. Use
the 2 by to re-enforce the 2 by II
lengthwise of its center, SO that there
will be four inches in thickness of the
wood through which to bore the two
inch holes. By this arrangement Of
the plank the shape Of the log slab is
approximated At the end Of six
months use the road will become so
hard that the front slab will need to be
faced with three or four feet of steel
or iron. Any fat piece will do. No
bolts are necessary except to fasten
the fat steel to the ditch end of the
front slab.
The length Of the drag will depend
on the team that is to be used. For
horses that weigh 1900 pounds seven
foot drag is large enough. Two horses
weighing LOO pounds each will han
die nine foot drag.

try to explain how to secure the best

After getting the drop on Clerk E.:

masked men made a hurried exit from

Mr.. King sleeps in the bank build

masked men, who instantly covered
him with revolvers and ordered him to
throw up mis- hands and make no
noise. They then warned him that in

ROOSEVELT NOT ARRESTED
|sNo Evidence That Presidents Son vio-
lated Minnesota Game Laws.

~ ! -.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., the son Of
the president, apparently was not ar
rested by state game wardens, for he
returned to Duluth from Coleraine
on Sunday afternoon and went di-
rectly to the Omaha depot to take the
Limited for Chicago. He declined to
talk and there is no evidence that
he hunted in Minnesota without a
license.
IL When the statement appeared in
print that young Roosevelt had left
Duluth for Coleraine to hunt, officers
Of the state game and fish commission
in st. Paul looked up the records and
found that he had secured no nom
residents license to hunt in Minneso-
ta. If he undertook to hunt without a
license he would be violating the state
game law It was not thought that
the son of the president would de-
liberately violate the law and if he in
tended to hunt without a license, it
would probably ke because he did not
know that a license is required.
But word was sent to deputy game
warden at Bcnidii to so at once to
Coleraine and If he found that young
Roosevelt had violated the law, to ar
rest him. The deputy has not been
heard from and the question is did
the presidents son violate the law?

Affairs Of Watson { Co. Not as. as.

ASSETS OF ABOUT 81 100000
Creditors Of Minneapolis Concern Ex
pected to Be Paid in Full-News
Of the State in General. =.

Developments in the case Of Watson
& Co., the Minneapolis grain commits
sion and Stock Exchange house that
was declared in financial difficulties
on Thursday, are SO increasingly IA
vorable as to make it seem almost
certain that there soon will be re-
sumption of business. 49,. s#
No statement of the exact standing
of the firm is yet possible, but the
showing of assets of nearly $1,00O,0O0
available in the New York Office made
the situation better and as conditions
are brought out more in detail it ap-
pears that the firm is much stronger
than was supposed when the an
nouncement of the receivership was
made. ..,.
The statement that all claims will
be paid in full and that no one hav-
ing money due from the firm will lose
dollar seems warranted.
The Offices of the firm, though not
accepting business, are open and all
connections have been maintained
and in the event of the perfection of
the necessary arrangements, which
now seems almost assured, business
can be resumed very promptly. H. P.
Watson said:
'"rhe reports about the connection
of Mr.. Hill with our firm are wholly
unwarranted. Neither Mr.. James J.
Hill or Mr.. Louis w. Hill ever had any
connection whatever. with Watson &
Co. Neither of them ever did any
business with us. We never had a
transaction for either of them at any
time since we have been in business"

done so. I have no quarrel with these
men. For years 1 have been saying
that any tool which will smooth the
surface of the highway and move lit
tie earth to the center Of the road is a
good drag. But also would remind
the reader that have myself spent a
great deal of time years ago trying to
improve the drag and gave it up as i'm
possible. With all Difference to the
opinion of others I feel that one might
as we'll try to improve an ak or a
spade. I have seen and know Of a
great many different styles of drags.
Some are made of one slab with a
tongue, others are built in the shape Of

'front.' working both sides Of the road
at once, and so on. Any one of them
is better than no drag and will i'm
prove the road if properly used.
However, I have been asked to tell
how to make and use a split log drag,
and, with the concessions made above,
to indicate that am more anxious the
road should be cared for than to insist
it must be cared for by any particular
style of drag, 1 will confne myself to
my task.
The best form Of material for build
ing is the log. The straighter the log
and the straighter it's grain the better.
Other things being equal, prefer the
1ightest log. Weight, when needed,
can be added to a light drag, but a
drag constructed of heavy material
cannot be lightened. The weight Of the
driver on the drag will generally prove
sufficient to do good work. II given
my choice would prefer log Of the
sort Of wood in the following list, in
the order given: Red cedar, walnut,
elm, cypress, soft maple, box elder,
with oak, ash and hickory in a class by
themselves and last on the list. Even
cottonwood or willow is preferable to
the heavy woods.

France and Spain to Occupy Mo-
rOccan Coast Towns.
POWERS APPROVE THE PLAN
Although Occupation Is Only Pro-
visional the Opinion Is General
It Will Last Indefinitely.

Paris, Sept. IA most important
change, the Associated Press is in
formed, has occurred in the political
aspect of the Moroccan question, a
change which may have a farreaching
effect on the future of Morocco and
the relations of the powers thereto.
France and Spain have the intention
to occupy the littoral ports of Morocco
with their own forces and establish
police organizations. This contem-
plated action results from the Official
announcement of the Moroccan gov
ernment, through the war minister,
El Gabbas, that it is unable to guar
antee the safety of the European in
structors of the international police
force, which, under the terms Of the
Algeciras convention, was to be COM
posed of Moors. The dilemma of
France and Spain, who by the terms
of the Algeciras convention are COM
PEELED to organize the international
police force, was submitted to the sig
natOry powers, including the United
States, and they all agreed that the
situation demanded that France and
Spain police Morocco themselves. Al
though it is distinctly stipulated that
such occupation is merely provisional,
or until it is safe to recruit the police
from among the Moors, there is a
strong feeling that the absolute an
archy reigning in Morocco means that
this occupation of the ports may be
long drawn out, perhaps lasting in
definitely. Moreover the occupation
of the ports may cause serious COM
plications, resulting from the contin-
ued hostility of the fanatical Moors, a
possibility which may compel an en-
largement of the police action and
culminate in virtual military control
of the Moroccan empire. This, how
ever, will depend on the attitude of
the Moors.
France has planned to occupy Maza-
gan, Mogador, Safi and Rabat and
Spain is to occupy Ell Araish and
Tetuan. France and Spain together
will occupy Casa Blanca and Tangier.
