Gettysburg, Pa, July 23.-On the
eve Of their departure for their
homes, at least six men of the Penn
sylyania national guard we're struck
dead in one of the most severe cleo
trical storms ever experienced on
this historic battlefield about 10
o'clock tonight. The identified are:
Private Bartz, 18th regiment; Prf-
vate Morrison, 10th regiment; Pri-
vate Carver, 10th regiment. Three
additional bodies have not been iden-
titled.
The body of Carver was severed in
twain as though by a sword. The
greatest confusion prevails and Wis
itors to the camp, as well as many
of the troopers are panic stricken.
AT least six troopers were killed and
over two seriously wounded. The
field hospital is crowded with injur--
ed and the molonel Of the Tenth
regiment has given up his quarters

London, July 233.The unfortunate

since the opening of the Olympic

Carpenter of Cornell university; Tay-

United Kingdom, qualified. With the
exception of Taylor the men got off
quickly. Robinson had the pole, Car
penter was next, with Halzell behind
him. II looked like any body's race as
they approached the last turn The
three leaders being punched, and their
squirt for the final hundred yards was
fine, when suddenly one Of the officials
rushed on the track. the tape across
the finish was taken down and the
race was declared void.
It was hard for time to know what
occurred, but the official announce
mem was that Carpenter had fouled
Halzell at the turn. Every ody close
to the spot had noticed that the three
men had sWerYed toward the outside
of the track as they came around the
bend at the terrace, but there was no
signs of a deliberate foul visible to
those in the press stand.
An uproar followed such as seldom
or never was witnessed on any ath-
letic field against the officials of the
Amateur Athletic association They
ran along the edge Of the track shout
ing foul, and appeared even more
excited than the runners who, with
the exception Of Taylor. ran the race

Bryan Entertains String Of
Callers all Day, Includ.
ing CO0ns
Bryan Quits the COmInOner
and Donates Its Profits
to the Party

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 23.-
A steady stream of visitors to Fair
view kept WiWlliam J. Bryan on the
qui viye all today and tonight. They
began coming early in the morning
and included returning delegates to
the Denver convention, politicians,
representatives of new Bryan and
Kern club, members Of the local or
der of Maccabees and many others
who came out merely to pay their
respects. , -'...
1t was perhaps one of the busiest
days the Democrats have spent re
Gently. Probably the most important
visitor was Josephus Daniels, of Raj
eigh, N. c., proprietor of the News
and Observer, a national committee
man and member of the sub-com-
mittee of eleven to select a chair
man an dother officers of the COM
mittee He was summoned here for
conference on special reference to
contributions in the southern states
The Democratic nominee was assur-
ed that the south would be soIid1y
for him and that the claims alleged
to have emenated from the Republic,
can sourses that they would carry
South Carolina, Virginia. and eorg-
Ia, were but sDog-Day'' politics.
The most interesting happening of
the day was the visit of a delegation
of local negroes, heretofore staunch
Republicans, who called to pledge
their active support to the Democrat
ic party.
Beginning with today Mr.. Bryan
retires as editor of the Commoner,
signed letter in the paper announc-
ing that his candidacy for the presi-
dency makes it necessary for him to
take such action. Coupled with it is
an interesting statement that a per-
sonal campaign contribution, the
profits of the Commoner over and
above the actual expenses, will be
turned over to the Democratic ma
tiona1 committee.

Opening OF new EMPIRE
To MARKETS OF WORLD
PlatS of Definite Location Of the Western Dakota RAILWAY
Filed in the Bismarck and Dickinson Land Offices
The New Lines Follow the Cannon Ball and North
and South Forks and Cut Off the Milwaukee

The west Missouri country, com
,prising about one-third of the terri
tory Of the entire state, and having
only the Northern Pacific running east
and west through the middle of it and
the Milwaukee road in one corner Of
it, is soon to have a new railroad, or
rather extensions of the Northern Pa
cific covering the Cannon Ball River
valley, the north fork of the Cannon
Ball and tributary country through to
the Manitoba line.
The plats of definite location of the
Western Dakota railway have been
filed in the Bismarck and Dickinson
United States land offices. This line
with the several other branches, the
routes of which have already been
recorded, will give the settlers in the
western part of the state railroad fa-
lcilities equal to the older portion of
the state. Il
s To be sure, the lines have not been
built yet, but barring unforeseen eli
matte difficulties, and like wise the
Organizing of the governmental poll
cies of the government, these extern
sions are likely to materialiZe during
the next two years.
1t will be remembered that the
Northern Pacific has already made
permanent survey for the two lines,
one north from Mandan along the Mis-
souri, river, and thence west to Glen
dive water level route land one line
south along the river to Standing
Rock Indian reservation. 1t was ex-
pected that work would have been be-
gun on these lines this season, and
assurances are given that work on
the south line will soon be contracted.
The Western Dakota railway
branches off from the south line from
Mandan at a point in section Is, town
ship 1877, range 70, just south of the
confluence of the Missouri and the
Cannon Ball rivers, opposite Parkins'
ranch. The line follows the Cannon
Ball valley southeasterly, crossing
and recrossing that stream u times
in the first eighty miles.
| The plats filed in the Bismarck land
office show one line running alont
the. main Cannon Ball river to point
near Howe, in 22-130-sO. The survey
LOT this line is continued, by the plats
lifted at Dickinson, along the south
fork of the Cannon Ball, through the
central and entire length of Adams
county, thence west into Bowman
county near Saltwater, thence on
north and west into Billings to the
west line of 2s-133-1OO, about twelve
miles north and paralleling the Mil
waukee road from Morton county
through to the Montana line. e
| The other line leaves this surve.

north and south forks of the Cannon

GIVES BRYAN
RICH BROWN ROAST

Macon, Ga, July 23.-Thomas e.
Watson, populist candidate for presi-
dent, opened his campaign here to-
night in speech of one hour to an
audience that taxed the capacity of
the Grand opera house. He asked
for Georgias electoral vote, and said
that if necessary he would move them
to defeat Bryan. His assaults were
all directed at Bryan and his praises
were for Roosevelt and Taft. His
charge against Bryan of refusing to
vote for Crisp for speaker because of
his being a confederate was heard in
silence, but his attack on the Ne
braskan for his attitude in giving the
negroes comfort in the Brownsville
matter was repeatedly applauded.

west to point in 10-193-93, a couple
of miles south of Mott, in Hettinger
county. From this point it continues
northWard. Edton is about four miles
south and Horswi1l three miles north
New England is favored, the line run
ming just south of the river on the
southwest quarter of section 4-135-97.
From New England the course is
northwest ten miles and then west to
the west lines of section 7-136-100, a
point in Billings county, seven miles
northwest of Midway. Daglum is about
eight and Gaylord nine miles north.
Commenting on these surveys, the
Dickinson Press says: "The south
fork survey runs through Showers
1.-THE old Merry sheep ranch), and near
the Edwin Kirk and j. j. Barth ranch
es. 1t runs two miles north to Geo.
Harkins' and about the same distance
north of Saltwater.
| This survey was commenced by the
N. P. in the territory above traced on
February Is, 1907, and was finished
/ May 16 of the same year.
The north fork survey was begun
May 20 and ended July rs, 1907,
The filing of these plans for the
/ territory in the Dickinson land dis.
/ trict for a little over sixty miles each
and in the Bismarck district for the
routes in Morton county, means that
4 the Northern Pacific has arranged fol-
the right of way for these branches
and that the same must be construct
ed during the next five years, or all
rights will be forfeited.
Gas these plats are filed, it looks as
| if the old Pioneer lines proposes tc
take all the business for fifty miles
/ south of its main line, and cut even
I with the Milwaukee for business in
the ten-mile strip between the Cedar
creek branch and the Milwaukee.
Gin some quarters it is believed thai
! the Milwaukee will retaliate by con
structing branch line north to Dick
inson.'
1t is likely the N. P. expects also tc
run line southwest down into South
! Dakota into the new Lennon LAND
district. The building of these lines
means the rapid development of the
west Missouri country tributary tt
