END Is Nj YET

We have been inclined 10 believe
that perhaps there might be limit
to the prevailing high prices of food
staples and OF meats in particular
bat recent developments in tie sheep
market have rather placed a damp
ener on that hope. A s0newhat
unique condition exists in the sheen
houses of the country. FEEDERS are
bidding higher prices for sheep than
'liers want to pay and It Indicates
that they believe another six months
will show range Of prices alto
gether unprecedented. Dur-ne the
present week an Illustration of this
was afforded. A tive-car corsi -nment
OF Idaho lambs could not elicit a het-
ter bid than $500 from a kil,er on
the Denver market. A faeder hill

got it, AS he was preparing 10 shin
out the entire lot, killer bid $40
for the two fattest loads raduc,n. !,
the cost of the others to $50. but
the incident shows how confident the
feeders are that the present nr,ces
are justifiable. Feeders are having

FIRE Loss OVER ONE MILLION
Block in Monterey Swept by Flames
in Business Heart of CITY.

Monterey, Mex, Aug. 23-The
losses in the fire which destroyed
the Botica Leon and the building oc-
cupied by J. B. Sanford & Co, Satur-
day night, will amount to more than
the original estimate and statements
from members of the firm involved
place the total loss at $1,450,000.
This loss falls mostly on the firms
and is divided as follows: Edo Bre-
mer q Co, on stock and buildings,
$500, 900; j. B. Sanford Il Co,
I$400, 900: Puerto de Liverpool,
$150000; other concerns in the
block, about 100000
The fire was the largest that has
ever occurred in Monterey and for a
time threatened the destruction of
the entire business section of the
city To the absence of wind is as
cribed the fact that the fire was
confined to the one block. although
buildings on the opposite side of the
street from the fire.
! The fire was brought under con-
troll about 10:30 O'Clock Sunday
morning. A large force of gendarmes
were kept on duty all day. Several
/ streams of water were kept con-
! stantly on the smouldeTing ruins
! during the day.
/ On account of the danger from
falling walls street cars on the
streets through the fire district were
detoured over other lines. Tele-

entirely cut off by the burning down
of poles, but the Fedral company was
able to re-establish communication

Shortly before $50 o'clock tonight
mob of men gathered about the
Schoenville entrance to the Pressed
Steel Car works and suddenly made
concerted attack upon the big
swinging gates of the stockade. The
attack was resisted by state troopers
and deputy sheriffs, who used riot
maces. In the melee Harry Exler,
a deputy sheriff. aged 80, was shot
and instantly killed by an alleged
strike sympathizer.
In an effort to arrest the man,
picked out of the crowd as the one
who did the shooting, State Trooper
Williams was instantly killed by a
revolver bullets. Two other troopers
on foot were fatally wounded falling
into the arms of their comrades.
For the first time since the in
ception of the strike the state troop
ers tonight opened a volley of fire
on the mob. Six strikers fell at the
first round. Three of them are re-
ported fatally shot.
Members of the mob then opened
fire and two troopers fell from
their horses mortally shot. They
were taken to the Ohio Valley hos
pital in a dying condition. AS an
ambulance made its way from the car
company plant to the hospital car
rying the wounded troopers, the We
hicle was attacked and the driver
forced TO flee for his life. The
frightened team of horses attached
to the ambulance plunged wildly in
and about the crowd. Two men were
trampled under the horses hoofs.
! The ambulance was finally driven
to the hospital by detachment OF

THREE DEAD AND ONE DYING
Fire in Farmhouse Fatal to All
the Children.

Joseph Kohl, a homesteader living
twelve miles from Dickinson, was in
his farm yard while his wife was
away from home, when he saw flames
break out in the house.
Four young girls were in the build
ing and the father rushed in to find
the eldest girl had been burned to
death. Taking the next and most Sc
riously burned girl Kohl started for
the nearest neighbor, but the child
died before he could reach aid. When
he returned he found that another
child had succumbed to the flames
and still another was severely burned
and physicians say she cannot recover.
The fire also communicated to and
burned the barn, together with the
horses and grain. The family is left
destitute and childless, and sympa-
thizing friends are coming to the aid
of the husband and wife.

The Barton State bank of Barton is

how they will fare.

MIN0T MILL CLOSED DOWN
Action Taken Because of WyIie's
BIeached Flour Decision.

The Russell-Miller mill in Minot is
closed and will probably remain closed
for a week, awaiting action on the
part of the board of millers who are
investigating the decision OF Expert
Wylie regarding bleached flour. Some
time ago the United States expert. Mr..
Wylie, confirmed the decision of Pro-
fessor Ladd of this state, claiming
that bleached -four was injurious, but
allowed the mills to run under the
present system for six months longer.
The mills will undoubtedly fight the
case, as they have experts from all
over the country to show that the
process which they use, an electrical
one. does not injure the -four in the
least, but makes it more %presentable
for household use.

NOVEL GOLF BY TRAVERa
Champion Beat Best Ball of Three
Players With One Club.

Jerome d. Travcrs showed his
championship golf ability in Il con-
vincing though novel manner a few
days ago at the Montclair On. j. Golf
club when, using but one club, a
driving mashie, he defeated the best
ball of three opponents. The match
was the result of one of those en-
thusiastic discussions which often oc-
cur around the nineteenth hole, when
the players have adjourned to the
cafe, regarding the proves of GER
tain golfers and their ability to beat
an aggregation of supposedly heavy
weights.
The discussion growing warm as to
how large a handicap Travers might
give and yet come out victorious, one
energetic member who believed that
the national champion is about the
best golfer the United States ever pro-
duced offered to bet that the cham
pion could beat three good players
and use only II club at that. The
bet seemed good, and as the Travers
man was ready to give odds a bet of
5000 to 500 was arranged, the condi-
tons being that Travers should play
the best ball of three members who
averaged around the eighties for the
course. Travers WAS told he might
select his club. and he chose a driving
mashie. To the surprise of his friends
Travers finished the eighteen hole cir
cult in seventy-sevcn strokes. the anna
tour record, held by himself, being GS.
and he beat the best ball of his three
opponents by two or three holes

Neither bag. satchel, p%ocketbook nor

may be slowed away in pockets. A
