WASHBURN. N. D.. June 26-At

tempt of counsel for the defense to
draw a statement from Bickford on
the stand that the Bowbells bank GER
! tfficates of deposit were finally taken
up and that the state lost nothing
brought objection from the state
which was sustained.
Bickford admitted asking Olson to
carry the certificates for while, as
he was unable to take them up, but
denied having said anything about
having made bad investments.
Mrs. Bickford sweet faced and
sad. took the stand for moment to
corroborate bit of her husbands
unimportant testimony.
Fred Andrews of Bowbells took the
stand to testify to Bickford's good
reputation at home. Counsel for state
expressed willingness to concede de-
PENDANTS good reputation. Said 9TH
erwise he would not have been elected
Senator w. H. Steel testified to
Bickford's good reputation.
Fred w. Hendrickson, former re-
preventative, did likewise.
Trial is Resumed.
WASHBURN, June 26-At the re-
sumption of the trial today of G. l..
Bickford, the former state treasurer.
charged with the embezzelement of
100000 of the states funds, the cross
examination by the state of the de-
fendant was resumed. 1t was beliv-
ed that this cross examination would
occupy several houds at the state had
intimated as much when the question
of adjournment Saturday was under
consideration by Judge Crawford.
The jurors appear thankful for the
respite from the heat, and rehearsal
of tedious details Of the voluminous
business of the state treasurer's Of
fee which has occupied most OF the
time thus far in the trial.
Most of the $50 exhibits already
offered in evidence are still in sigat,
but it is not believed that many of
them will have to be gone over again
except in the final arguments of the
counsel.
The defense has not yet given out
any statement as to the number of
witnesses it will produce, but it is
not believed the number will be any
greater than that used by the prose-
cution. 1t will be remembered that
the state had twenty-five subpoenaed
but used only ten, resting with sud-
denness that was surprise to most
of those who had been informed of
the number of witnesses on hand.
Most of the witnesses and attorneys
in attendance at the trial and who
could not reach their homes, took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to spend
a Sunday in Bismarck and enjoy a
visit at the capital city.

of the sharpshooters. a leaden hail from
three machine guns and one six-inch
cannon was thrown into the ranks of
the besiegers with murderous results.
A machine gun which had been
trained on the rebel headquarters was
put out of business early in the engage
ment by the killing OF its manipulators
when a daring band of half a dozen
insurrectos dashed to within 100 yards
of where II was stationed behind a
hurriedly thrown-up barricade and killed
every man in the federal gun squad.
Immediately Colonel Diaz rushed a
squad of cavalry to where the machine
gun stood and they drove off the reb-
els, taking the rapid-firer back into the
federal ranks 1t was then trained on
the rebels from that position with tell
ing effect.
At this moment, from point that was
thought to have been unoccupied by
troops of either side, second cannon
and two machine guns began belching
their death missiles into the federal
ranks with such effect that Colonel
Diaz withdrew hastily, but in an or
derly manner to point six or eight
miles south OF the town.
During the whole engagement It was
clear that both federa1s and rebels were
making every effort to form their lines
of battle so that no stray bullets would
endanger residents of Douglas.

BILL To GIVE CIVIL
SERVICE EMPLOYEES
RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
La Toilette Would Have
Unionizing Never a Cause
of Dismissal.

Senator La Toilette took the first step
today toward emancipating civil service
employees from the unreasonable re-
strictions that have been imposed upon
them heretofore, by introducing a bill
designed to guarantee them the rights
of American citizens.
The bill provides, first, that employees
shall not be removed, nor shall they be
reduced in rank or compensation, except
for cause affecting the efficiency of the
service. They will be served with notice
in writing and given an opportunity 10
answer in writing.
Further, the bill provides that men,
bership in any organization designed TO
promote and improve the condition of
Government employees shall in no case
become a reason for the removal Of an
employe.
The measure is designed to protect
employees in the right OF organization
petition Congress and in general organ
ize action in their behalf. Its passage
would amount to an appeal of the
famous executive osder of 1902 issued
by former President Roosevelt, and
commonly known as the gag order.
This order has terrorized civil service
employees and made many thousands of
them fear to attempt any action in
their behalf lest they be removed.
