Rochester, MIMI, Aug. 4.-As re.

Minnesota and the Minnesota Valley
Medical Associations held in this city,
a new medical organization has been
formed which will embrace the greater
part of Southern Minnesota and be

Over Showers.

Aberdeen, Aug. 4-The drouth in
southern North Dakota and nearly the
whole of South Dakota was broken
by the rains which were general over
the Northwest. In sections of the Da-
kotas the rain comes too late to save
the grain, but it will do incalculable
good in reviving pastures and pro-
noting the growth of forage crops
and roots.
1t is reported that 1.S5 inches fell
at Aberdeen, which is in the heart of
the drouth-ridden section. Huron re-
ceived .6S; Bismarck, in the edge of
North Dakota dry section, got rs.
The northwestern part of Minnesota
and the Red river valley generally
had not suffered for rain, but it was
drenched. Moorhead reported LOG
inches and Crookston 1926.
Rain in Black Hills.
Deadwood reports that rain has fall
len every day this week in the Black
Hills country and over the ranges
north and west. Pastures, corn and
late potatoes have been greatly bene-
fitted. The benefit to stockmen is
mainly in the fact that they will be
able to ship from the ranges. Water
holes and streams have been filled
and stock can be driven to shipping
points.
Winona reports that rain lasting
several hours has made farmers in
that part of Minnesota and western
Wisconsin jubilant. The parched pas
lures will now spring up and corn and
ether crops are considered made.
The rain may discolor barley in
shock, causing a slight falling off in
price, but the benefit to grass and
growing crops greatly outweighs any
damage to harvested grain.

Charge Discourtesy to Union Jack In
Detroit, StoutIy Denied
There.

London, Ont, Aug. 4.-As result
Of many protests from citizens, Alder.
man Mitchell, chairman of the deco.
rations committee of the London Old
Boys Association, ordered down all
American flags which had been in
cluded in street decorations. Poles
along the main streets had been
draped with bunting and on top of
each were four Canadian and four
American flags, the latter being in.
cluded because many of those return
ing to their home town for the colds
boys" celebration are now residents
and citizens of the United States.
So much feeling developed that, ow.
ing to fear that an unpleasant flag
incident might occur, it was decided
to remove the American flags.
Action Is Commended.
Alderman Mitchell's action was sus.
tanned by the East London Progressive
Association, which voted, after warm
discussion, to write to the city council
q letter commencing the aldermans
decision. During the discussion mem.
bers declared that they had been
compelled, while visiting in Detroit
to remove Canadian flags which they
were wearing on their coats. One
member declared that he had seen
the American flag cheered and the
Union Jack Kissed while in theater
there.
This is the second time the Ameri-
can flag has been hauled down here.
Three years ago, during an Orange
celebration, the standard was torn
down from the balcony of hotel and
tramped on. American citizens here
are indignant and there is talk of
withdrawing the float which they were
going to put in the parade next week.

Detroit Denies Discourtesy,

Detroit, Aug. Aft Canadians visit
ing Detroit were ever compelled to re.
move the flags of their country from
their coats, the fact was not brought
to the attention of the authorities
here.
Emphatic denial of the statements
contained in the London dispatch was
made at police headquarters and at
the newspaper offices, where it was
said that so far as known no act OF
discourtesy had ever greeted the
Union Jack, either in the theaters or
on the streets of this city.
On the contrary, the British emblem
invariably occupies conspicuous
place in the decorations displayed at
all functions here of an International
character.

WOOL MARKET BATTLE CLOSING.
Buyers at Miles City, Mont, Will Tally
100000 Pounds.

Miles City.-Nearly 100000 pounds
of wool have been sold at the ware
houses in Miles City this season, and
Ivy the close Of the season the total
will exceed 100000 pounds. Prices
have ranged in the main between 16
and 17h cents, though two Or three
sales were made as high as 1875 cents.
There have been as many as thirty
buyers, representing Eastern houses.
here at a time, but all but a few will
have departed for their homes by
Thursday morning.
The selling has been unusually pro-
longed because of the reluctance OF the
growers to accept the falling prices,
which were at least 2 cents lower than
last year and cents lower than the
year before.
The uncertainty regarding action on
the tariff by Congress, and the further
uncertainty as to what effect any &C.
ton might have, has been the cause OF
the delay.

NEWS OF MONTANA
Important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.
ATTEMPT BANK ROBBERY.
Premature Discharge Of Revolver
Brings Marshal.

Harlem. One of the bandits is
Cead and an armed posse is securing
inc country between here and the Bear
Paw mountains in search of two others
who escaped after attempting to rob
Senator Everett's First National bank
Of this town.
RDt for the quick work of Marshal
j. q. Laswell the bank would have
been looted of $4,000. He killed the
man who was looting the vault and
caused the man who was guarding the
cashier and others in the bank office
to take to his heels.
About II O'clock in the morning
three men rode into Harlem, dismount-
ing in the alley back of. the bank. The
horses were left in care of one of the
trio, while the other two walked into
the bank by the front door. Cashier
j. A. Hatch and Assistant Cashier Ras.
mussen were alone in the bank at the
time.
Pointing four revolvers at the Off
Gals the robbers ordered them to
throw UP their hands, and the bank
officers cbeyed Then the leader left
his companion to guard the two and
walked down the hall of the bank into
the adjoining building and ordered At
torney John Collins and one of his
clients, Fred Brockway, into the bank
to keep the bank officials company.
With his companion guarding the
four, the leader then began collecting
the cash. He gathered everything in
the counter boxes and turned to the
vault. 1t was just here he made the
mistake that cost his life and saved
the cash 70 the bank.
When he went into the vault, he left
his revolver on the counter. He came
back quickly for the weapon, but in
picking it up, dropped 1t, and it was
discharged. 1
A passer-by notified Marshal Las
we'll, who was nea: the building when
the gun was discharged. He rushed
into the bank and at glance saw the
trouble. He fired at the man just
emerging from the vault With the shot
sack full OF cash, which contained Sl0,-
600 in currency. The robber dropped
dead.
Then fuSilade began between the
robber guarding the bank and the mar
shall. The bandit, however, reached
the door and ran to where his partner
stood with the horses. They mounted
and rode rapidly away
A posse was hurriedly organized and
pursuit began in automobiles. In try
ing to communicate with nearby towns
it was discovered that the telephone
wires had been cut.
The vicinity of Harlem was formerly
the rendezvous of the Curray gang Of
robbers, and it is believed these men
were part of the old gang. In that
event it is probable it will be hard to
locate them, as they are familiar with
the country and with hiding places in
the mountains.

Another in North Dakota Hotel.
Edinburg, N. D., Aug. 3.--The Mer-
chants hotel here was the scene of
a sensational shooting affair when
Frank Merilo, from Wright, Mimi,
ran amuck, shot Chris Buck, aged IS
years, founder of Edinburg, through
the neck, narrowly missed F. S. Prich-

three bullets into his right side.
Merilo died almost instantly and
though Bucks wound is serious, physi-

is little doubt but what Merilo was in

days ago looking for work. He acted
rather oddly.
