whom they were hoping to protect. This made
the work hard and discourAging, as work al
ways Is hard and discouraging when It is done
amid enemies who wear the guise OF friends.
For this kind Of service Capt. Bill McDon-
aid was eminently qualified. Already he had
been appointed special Ranger in Company
b, commanded by Capt. s. A. McMurray but
MS duties as U. s. deputy marshal in No-Man's
Land and In the Cherokee strip had been his
chief work. Nevertheless he had, on occasion,
engaged in bandit hunting In his own state,
during this period, either alone or in company
with other officials, usually with good results.
Events of this sort kept Bill McDonald's
name fresh In the Texans minds and made
him seem peculiarly eligible for regular ser
vice. The resignation of Capt s. A. McMur-
ray, who had long and bravely commanded
Company B. became his opportunity and he
hurried to Austin to try for that command

YOUNG RUSSIAN BOY
TAMPERED WITH 500

Towner, N. D.. July 11.-Peter Scha-
ton, Russian boy IL years old, was
arrested last Friday at Kief by
Sheriff Kramer for malicious injury
to the 500 railroad. He was charged
with tampering with the switch at
Kief, causing the wreck of the 500
freight train near that place. He had
broken the lock and turned the
switch open. The engine was derail-
ed and considerable other damage to
property was done.
When Captain Kramer arrived on the
scene the boy was throwing switches
on the freight cars and appeared to
be enjoying himself greatly When
Kramer called to the boy he ran for
his home, where the sheriff found
and arrested him. He was brought to
Towner and placed in the county Jail.
The boy has been causing lot of
trouble lately at Kief and this was
a second offense OF this nature. The
parents have tried to correct him but
punishment seems to have no effect
on him. He win probably be sent to
the reform school at Mandan.

SECOND CONSPIRACY TO BE NIP
PED IN THE BUD THIS YEAR
POLICE TRACED TRUNK LOAD.
ED WITH ARMS AND AMMuNI-
TON, WHICH CAUSED ARRESTS.

Havana, Cuba, July IL. - Colonel
Jorge Valera. mulatto, and six other
persons, most of them colored men,
were arrested by the secret police to-
day charged with conspiring to start
an uprising against the government.
The seven men were on their way to
Vieja Bermeja, in the province Of
Matanzas, to which place trunk con-
tanning arms, ammunition and dyna-
mite had been shipped from Havana.
Letters and documents found on the
prisoners, who have been brought to
Havana, are believed to implicate
many other persons In the conspiracy.
The trunk was traced by, the police
officials to a medical school of Hava-
ma university. The janitor of that
institution was arrested today and a
large quantity of dynamite was found
in his possession.
1t is not quite three months since
the last conspiracy against the gov
eminent was nipped in the bud by the
police officials. The agitation of the
race question in various parts of the
Cuban republic eliminated on April %
with the arrest of General Evaristo
Estenoz, (colored,) the leader of the
independence party, and four Of his
associates.
Following the detention of General
Estenoz many arrests were made in
various parts of the island in COM
pliance with orders from President
Gomez, who announced his determine
ton to proceed with the utmost vigor
against the elements responsible for
the agitation, which, in effect was re-
garded as a serious movement calcu-
lated to develop an open revolution
against the government.
Indictments were turned against
General Estenoz and two of his asso-
ciates charging them with the crime
of melting rebellion and instigating
anti-white violence. Later, however,
all the negro prisoners concerned in
the alleged conspiracy, with the ex-
ception of the negro leader, were dis
charged by the special judge who was
appointed to try the case.

The above telegram was received by
Congressman Hanna this morning. It
is now up to the central committee
Of the citizents Of Fargo to arrange
for giving the colonel one OF the big
gest times he has ever had.
There is every likelihood that the
chairman of the central committee will
call7for an early meeting OF this COM
mittee and that some action looking to
the appointment Of the subcommittee
will be taken. There will have to be
good deal done between now and Labor
day. but with such an excellent COM
mittee as was appointed at the meet
ing of the commercial club and citi-
zens last week IL is believed that all of
the necessary arrangements will be
made.
Congressman Hanna will keep in
touch with Mr. Roosevelt right along.
President Fraser of the Trades & La
Dor Federation will soon appoint his
committees to act with the central
committee. There is every reason for
believing that Colonel Roosevelt will
come to Fargo either the night before
or early on the morning of Sept 5,
and If he does there will be a big La
bon day parade in which the people
very generally will be asked to take
part.

Sorenson, who returned today from a
trip to Powers Lake, reports that a
farmer was killed short distance
from the village Saturday night.
The name of the man could not be
learned. He was a homesteader in
the country some distance north of
Powers Lake and he came to that viii
lage for load of lumber.
While returning home the heavily
loaded wagon was overturned at a bad
place in the road. He had evidently
been trying to keep the load from tip
ping as he was found in an uncon-
scious condition under the load.
His death occurred shortly after the
accident.

Almost Half an Inch on Lew

WHILE NOT ENOUGH MOISTURE
FELL TO REvoLUTIoNlzE CROPS
YET 1T WILL DO A WORLD OF
GOOD TO GROWING THINGS,
ESPECIALLY VEGETABLES.

The entire state Of North Dakota
has had some moisture during the past
twelve hours.
1t rained in Fargo from $3.50 this
morning to o'clock. OF course it was
no young flood. but it was actually wet
and indicated that it can really rain
In North Dakota still--or yet, despite
the adverse predictions The amount
that fell was .46 of an inch.
At Devils Lake the government bu-
reau reported .62 and at Bismarck 80.
There was a slight rain at Medicine
Hat and Winnipeg, also in South Da-
kota points, indicating the rainfall was
general over the entire state of North
Dakota, though 1t was lighter in the
western and southern parts of the state
than in the northern and eastern A
telephone message from Arthur says a
half an inch fell there. Messages from
several parts of the state indicate about
that amount has fallen all over the
eastern half.
The moisture win not be enough to
revolutionize crop conditions, but it will
be extremely helpful to late wheat and
to fax, corn, potatoes, hay and other
forage crops.
Good Rain at McHenry.
McHenry, N. D., July 11.-Rain fell
for about three hours in McHenry
and vicinity, doing much good to crops.
Crop conditions in this section of the
state are good and with more moisture
will result in a pretty good yield.
Farmers are not discouraged in this

What Is Taft Saying to VIM.
) Loeb, IT,, Today
new %<GLE TO SITUATION.
REPoRTED\ T TAFT WOULD
LETT TEDDY SEE TARIFF PRO-
POSITION FROM THE ADMINS
TRATloN VIEW PoINT-THE
COLONEL KEEPS HIS COUNSEL.

Beverly, Mass, July ia brand
new angle was given to the visit of
VIM. Loeb, jr., to Beverly today. 1t
was reported that his talk with Presi-
dent Taft, this afternoon, on ''the gen.
eral political situation" would include
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
President Taft, it Is believed. is
anxious that Colonel Roosevelt should
make a careful study of the New York
law before committing himself in any
way. The colonel undoubtedly has had
the insurgents view of the tariff pretty
well drilled into him by Senators Bev-
eridge. Bristow, La Toilette and others
who have been to Sycamore HILL Mr..
Taft, the story goes today wants the
colonel to have the administration view.
The report that the tariff was to
be the principal theme of the discus
sion today seems to be borne out by
many circumstances. 1t is admitted
that Mr. Loeb was summoned to Bever-
ly by Secretary Norton with fun
knowledge of the president Mr.. Loeb's
duties as collector of the port of New
York brings him in touch with tariff
and probably he knows more about
actual practical working of the law
than any other man.
Rcuses Interest at Oyster Bay.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 1.-THE an
nouncement from Beverley that will
liam Loeb, jr., collector of the port of
New York, was to see President Taft
today aroused great interest here owing
to the close relations which exist be-
tween Mr.. Loeb and Colonel Roosevelt.
1t was impossible to get from Colonel
Roosevelt an expression of opinion as
to the significance of this meeting, as
he denied himself to interviewers to-
day.
The colonel is having his fourth day
of rest in the intervals between the
visit of the delegation of politicians
and members of congress last Thurs
day and that of Governor Hughes to-
morrow. Frederick w. Whitridge OF
New York receiver fthe Third Ave-
nue. Railway Co., is expected to cali
on Colonel Roosevelt today. g
