WATCHED BY HUNDREDS or
PEoPLE-lT WORKED MOST
SUCCESSFULLY ON TRYoUT,

Fargo's new street flusher had its
first tryout this afternoon on Roberts

fully. Hundreds gathered near the
city building and along the street to
watch the operations of the machine
and they all expressed their adnira-
tion for Its work.
The new flusher is a Studebaker
make and the water In the tank just
sweeps away everything in the street
before II. The stream that plays
on the pavement Is put out under d
high pressure and after the flusher
has passed over stretch OF the street
the pavement Is as clean as if 1t had
been freshly scrubbed.
The new flusher lis operated under
a high power gas engine This engine
is kept going constantly and drives the
aqua out with terrific force.
Only one man is employed In the
operation Of the machine, although
two Of the city'H employees have been
working on 1t today. besides the in
structor sent from the factory. The
expert that lii here will teach the To-
cal men how to thoroughly operate the
machine before he leaves the city.
AS yet the machine has not been
tried on the cedar block pavement,
although 1t has worked successfully
on the brick and creoaote block. Aug
ust Johnson, city street commissioner
will try 1t out on the cedar block
tomorrow.

TAKES court
and COUNSEL
BY SURPRISE
Appearance Of Mrs. Owen
Carefully Planned
Says She Warned Daughter
About Husband
Judge Watson Suggested Re-
cess For Conference


Chesterfield. Va, Aug. 2s.--sudden-
~ and without the faintest intimation
hitherto during the trial, the prosecu-
ton today confronted Henry Clay
Beattie, jrY with Mrs. r. ". owen,
mother of the woman he is alleged to
have murdered.
In a taxicab, its arrival timed
to coincide exactly with the moment
Sheriff Gill exhibited in the courtroom
the clothing worn by Beattie on the
night of the murder, Mrs. owen came
to Chesterfield Quickly and without
the usual perfunctory questions, in
cident TO the introduction of the new
witness, Prosecutor wendenberg ques-
toned the woman as to her knowledge
Of the domestic life OF the Beatties
and brought to the surface the point
intended as relevant to the alleged
motive for the murder, namely that Be-
atties physical condition, due to dis
sipation, had caused much unhappIness
to his wife. The witness said that
on the night Of the murder she had
cautioned Mrs. Beattie not to go cut
alone with her husband.
Mrs. Owen is said to have been her
daughters confident and is believed to
have known Of Beattie's relation with
the Binford girl. Mrs. Owens told
how she arrived at the Beattle home
on May %, Of the birth OF Beattie's
child on May 81, and limited at the trlb-
ula4ions Of her daughter, caused By
Beattie's relations with the Binford
girl. Mrs. owen sat calmly in her
chair while her husband famed her.
Gowned In heavy black, the thick veil
gave only partial glimpse of the wom-
ans features. When court recessed
she was still in the witness chair.
The prosecutions idea for today, ap-
parently was to prove that Beattie
killed his wife because of his fear that
his father might learn Of his condition
and cut him off from his family.
The testimony of Mrs. owen took
Judge Watson as well as the crowd I'm
the courthouse by surprise and i'm
mediately the court suggested a recess
and conference with counsel of both
sides, jury and prisoner to discuss
further testimony along this line.
The most vital broadside of the
testimony thus far aimed against
Harry Clay Beattie, jr, indicted tor
wife murder. was found by the state
for today's session OF court here. The
story of motive, underlying the pro-
eating force that might incite a man
to the murder OF his wife, was care
fully assembled by the commonwealth
for admission through strong wit
nesses. Besides arranging for testi-
mony concerning Beattie's relations
with Beulah Binford, as indicative OF
his alleged desire to eliminate his wife
so that companionship with the Bin
ford girl might continue unobstructed,
the commonwealth was prepared to
pour into the record the testimony OF
physicians and others who would tell
Of Beattie's alleged physical ills, in an
effort to show that the prisoner fear
ed his wife might inform his father
Of them and that the latter then might
disown him.

SEVERE STORM
|. SWEPT SOUTH


Columbia, s. c., Aug. ga severe
storm which struck Charleston and Sa-
vannah hast night seems to be center
ing in the same locality today. Indi-
cations are that it is moving northward.
Both cities were completely cut off
from communication with the outside
world today and 1t was therefore i'm
possible to ascertain the extent of the
damage the storm has wrought. A
message this afternoon from Branch
Vile, seventy miles from Charleston.
states there are three feet Of water In
the Charleston union station, practt-
cally confirming the earlier reports
that Charleston was menaced by food.
The message also says that no trains
have left Charleston since o'clock last
night.
The storm, which began early last
night along the south Atlantic coast
spent it's fury soon after the day had
passed. About o'clock this morning
great damage was done within the
city, but apparently little harm was
done to the shipping in Savannah Har-
Dor. Ample warning OF the storms
approach having been given shipmast-
ers by the weather bureau to make
their vessels safe. The streets are fill
ed with debris, consisting principally
Of uprooted trees. and the street caf
service is completely tied up as q re-
suit. AS far as 1t II known there has
been no loss of life In this vicinity
due to the storm. Reports are missing
however, from the low lying island cd
jacent to Savannah, which are inhab-
tied principally by negroes. The cot
ton crop within radius Of fifty miles
OF Savannah undoubtedly has suffered
severe damage.
