IRRIGATION SAVES CROPS
IN SOUTHWESTERN DAKOTA

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Farm-
ers in Western North Dakota began
to realize during the latter part of last
month the benefits which hey could
receive from the irrigation projecds
in their territory. Owing to the hign
temperature and scorching winds
whicE' swept over the state late in June
and early in this month, unripened
crops were practically burned up, 50
Jhwt many will not be worth harvest
ing, and the best yield that can be
expected on dry land will not be with
in so per cent. of normal, according to
the Reclamation Service.
But the dry weather caused the Re-
Service to be besieged with
requests for water. In spite of the
neavy demand the service by more
than doubling the force of men and by
working the power and pumping ma
3hinery at full capacity, with a limit
ed amount of coal, furnished good lead
Of water in practically all cases where
water was asked for, so that irrigat-
ed crops are reported now to be in
excellent condition.

Especial to Times-Recorder. }


Elliott, Miss, July 22.-Five negroes
Were killed and two others mortally
wounded here when the seven, taking
issue with Deputy Sheriff Sid Cauley,
who was endeayoring to take them
into custody on a minor charge, ad-
yanced on the officer with weapons and
with the avowed intention of cut
ting him down..
Bearing warrant charging the
seven with assault, Cauley and two cit
liens deputized by him to assist, went
to the home of Henry Beck, a coIored
farmer, near Elliott. AS the posse
approached the negroes ceased their
work in the field, and grabbing pitch
forks and other tools, made for the
deputy.
Cauley, however, opened fire with
two revolvers before the beIIigerenrs
came within striking distance and be-
fore the others of the posse had re-
gained their wits, five Of the attack
ing party were dead and the remand
er wounded. The deputy surrendered,
but was released to appear for formal
hearing tomorrow.
Several days ago an attempt was
made to effect the capture of the ne
groes, but the arresting officer with
drew when they employed similar tao
tics to those of today.

FINE REPORT OF CHIEF
is MADE TO COUNCIL
Covering the Fiscal Year
Just Ended.
Except One Large Fire
Beyond Control Loss
is Light Past Year.

But for the confagration in No
yember last, which swept away the
plant of the Americus Construction
Co., entailing loss of probably $50
600 or 100000, the total fire losses in
Americus for the fiscal year ending
July 1st would have been at the min
imum figure.
Chief Macarthur has Just filed with
the city council his annual report for
the twelve months ending July 1st,
and it is a good one, as usual.
Fire losses were held down to the
minimum, except in the confederation
mentioned, fire which no human
power could have averted.
In this, the eighteenth annual re-
port OF the Americus fire department,
Chief Macarthur reports a total of
eighty-five fire alarms for the year
Of this number 25 were for burnina
grass, which resulted in no loss what
ever.
Defective stove fues fired six kitch-
ms; exploding gas stoves, six; care
lessness with lamps, four, while ASH
pits caused five fires.
The other alarms were the result of
trivial causes and generally amounted
to nothing.
The value of the property thus en-
dangered by fire was $39S,515, while
the Insurance thereupon amounted 20
$4,000. The actual fire losses were
$61,922, of which amount probably
$4,000 was upon the burned lumber
yards and mill.
This fire occurred late at night and
the blaze, famed by high winds, had
enveloped the plant long before the
alarm was sounded.
The efficiency of the department was
demonstrated in confining the flames
there.
The total cost of maintaining the de-
partment for the fiscal year was S.,
748, of which amount $4,9O75O was
the salary account for the chief and
five men. The cost of feeding four
horses for the year was $555, while
The cost of new horse was $3.50.
A detailed statement of every item
of expenditure was attached to the re-
port, which is full, complete and sat
isfactory.

Wolfe singled, Hooks going to third.
Robinson, runnig for Wolfe, was out,
Colby to Brooks, but Colby dropped
the ball on the return, allowing Hooks
to score.
In the eighth, after Donaldson had
been caught trying to stretch single,
