 The story of the affair as clicited from the witnesses this morning is so mixed that blue mud or the prover- bial fifty-seVcu varieties all mixed in

The weapon was taken from him by CEllardo who later gave it to Tanez and persuaded Mon fanOs to come with him to find an officer. as he feared trouble between the two men.

Dakota Homecoming.

The Dakota home coming and
celebration Of the twentieth ami
versary of Statehood for North
and South Dakota, according to
reports received by T.. B. Roberts,
the secretary, bids fair to be the
largest and best meeting Of the
kind ever held in the northwest.
Not only are the old settlers get
ting interested, but those who
came into the two states after
statehood, are promising to be
present and help celebrate the
twentieth anniversary. 1t is to
be q joint celebration, and a citi-
zen who may have resided in the
Dakotas but a month will be
warmly welcomed. The railroads
have promised cheap rates, which
will be announced later, and the
citizens of Aberdeen will allow
nothing to stand in the way Of
presenting suitable entertainment
for the guests who may be in the
city. The impression seems to
be that this is purely an Aberdeen
gathering. This is not true. The
thought Of the Homecoming did
not originate in Aberdeen, but
was thought out by outside part
les and Aberdeen selected because
Of its accessibility to the greatest
number in North and South Dak-
ota. IF you were a resident of
the territory of Dakota, no mat
ter where you lived, you will meet
your old friends if you come to
Aberdeen June 1918. Don't for
get the dates.

INSURANCE LAW IS
WISE LEGISLATION
People OF Oklahoma Protected From
Wild Cat Insurance Companies
And Fraud.

Guthrie. Okla, Aug. 7.-One of the
wise provisions made by the demo
cratic legislature for the protection
OF the people against wild cat insur.
ance companies was that compelling
foreign insurance companies to ap-
point the insurance commissioner their
agent, upon whom service could be
had in the event of a law suit.
Previous to this time foreign com.
panies could come into Oklahoma, So
lieit insurance and with impunity
deny the payment or losses and defy
the insured because there was no way
by which suit could be brought to
compel the payment of losses.
Reputable foreign companies have
complied with this provision, but there
are few companies of the wild cat
variety who seek to evade the law
and prey upon innocent people by so
liclting insurance upon which they
have no intention OF ever paying ii

Concrete in Ancient Construction.
The extent to which concrete was

in the corridor of the house ef Au-
gustus, on the PalatIne, where the
grain OF the wood can be clearly seen.
These walls are some "a feet above
the ground Level. and. though the con-
struction of the forms seems to have
been carelessly done, the result Is
none the less interesting. He is a
splendid opportunity to see concrete
and to leIsurely inspect il from every
point OF vantage.
Above these concrete foundations
rose the palace Of Augustus. formed Of
those stupendous walls and vaults Of
brick, which here, as elsewhere in
Rome, thrust their arches through the
air with such poise and precision that
they are to this day the admiration
of every beholder, and gave to the
Romans their proud position among
tne master builders OF the world

wood from the old forms may atill be

Some recent excavations at the
Arch Of Titus have disclosed the fact
that this structure rests entirely upon
