OIL FUEL TEST ON
N. D. A SUCCESS
RATTLESHIP NORTH DAKOTA
SHOWS ECONOMY or
ACQUISITION.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The official
trials of the North Dakota included a
new feature to the results of which
much service interest attaches. These
are the two-hour oil fuel runs, which
terminated in the official trial of the
ship.
These made use of the LIQUID fuel
stored in the double bottoms OF the
new battIeship to the extent Of about
500 tons, which Is supposed to be
equivalent to 900 tons of coal in its
increase OF the steaming radius of the
vessel. The North Dakota lis designed
with auxiliary equipment. which will
permit the use of oil fuel in conjunc-
ton with coal
The storage of the oil in the double
bottoms makes use OF space which
would otherwise be unoccupied, so
there lis no difficulty in taking care of
this material other than an increase OF
weight to be carried by ship.
When 1t is considered that the
steaming radius Is increased 80 per
cent by this addition to the fuel supply.
there Is appreciation Of the advantage
OF the acquisition.

SOLE, RESPECTED FOSTER co.
FARMER WAS HIS VICTIM.

Wanted on the charge of murder in
the first degree at Melville, Foster
county Joe Slycourt, believed to have

every peace officer in the northwest.
Last evening the information was
licked over the wires that Frank
Batesole, highly respected Melville
farmer who Slycourt attacked with a
crowbar, has succumlbed from the in
juries received, which resulted in adj
ditional impetus on the part of off,
GERS who are on the case.
For three days Batesole fought be
tween life and death and during a
portion OF this time, Slycourt was get
ting as far away as possible. 1t was
believed THAT he boarded an east
bound train out of Jamestown Satur-
day evening. All trains were met, but
rived here, 1t is now believed that he
changed to the 500 at Valley City and
made his escc pc that way.
The alteration between Slycourt
and Batesole occurred Thursday when
both were engaged in moving a house
belonging to another man. Slycourt
was employed by the man who owned
the structure while Batesole was mSre-
~ assisting him. In the heat of pas
sion, over disagreement, Slycourt
picked UP a crowbar which h welded
on Batesole's head. A coroner's in
quest today reached a verdict that the
victim came to his death at. the hands
of SIycourr. An examination showed
that the skull was fractured Batesole
