SHOOTING
ON BORDER
Americans and Mexlcans tx.
change Shots at EI Paso
During The Night
Houses Of Several Americans
We're Struck by The
Flying Bullets

BY Associated Press.
Ell PASO, TEX. Aug. 5.-Abou,
fifty shots were exchanged between
United States soldiers and unidenti-
fed men from the Mexican side of
the river last night in East Ell Paso.
No one was hit, and there were no
arrests.
Three shots were first fired from
the Mexican side, striking house
belonging to c. H. Cole.
After the first three or four shots
were heard, soldiers on guard on the
American side opened fire toward
Mexico. The bullets then came fas-
ter from the Mexican side, one Of
them striking A. d. Martinez's house.
The houses of Messrs. Curtis, Will
liams and Yonkers, near the river,
were struck by the bullets, as was
the roof one of Ell Paso's factory
buildings. After persons on the
Mexican side of the river had fired
thirty or 1orty times, they ceased
and the American soldiers went to-
ward the river to investigate.
1t was the opinion of some resi-
dents OF the section where the firing
had been done by Mexican rebels to
district the attention Of American
soldiers so that quantity of ammu.
milton could be smuggled across the
river at another point. "A careful in
vestigation is bein made.

MINOT, Aug. 3.-Dorr H. Carroll
today disposed of the Minot Daily
Reporter and the Ward County Re-
porter to C. A. johnson, the latter
to assume charge within few days
as soon as several minor matters
have been disp0seu of In connection
with the sale of the plant. The pres
ent management and force will con.
tinue for the present and it Is ex-
pected that with the possible excep-
ton of one or two changes, the same
force will be retained by Mr.. Johnson.
Business 10 Growing.
Mr.. Carroll purchased the interests
Of Sam H. Clark, e. B. McCutche0n
and C. w. Twiford in the Reporter
year ago and last January secured
complete possession Of the plant
when it was foreclosed under a mort
gage given by the Reporter Printing
company. He has continued in the
practice of law in addition to his du.
ties as editor and publisher Of The
Reporter, but finds his law business
increasing to such an extent that one
or the other had to be disposed OF
in order to give either one the re-
quired attention.
Mr.. carroll is also member of the
state executive committee of the ma
tional Progressives and as such one
Of the Leaders in the movement in
North Dakota. This, too, will require
considerable attention.

Mr.. johnson Former Owner.
There is an interesting bit Of his
tory revealed in connection with Mr..
1ohnson's purchase Of the paper to-
day. When Burlington was the coun.
ty seat Of Ward county, j. l.. Cotton
Of Burlington was owner of the news
paper when 1t was known as the
Burlington Reporter. Later he desig-
mated it the Ward County Reporter
and in 1891 Mr. Johnson purchased
1t from Mr.. Cotton and removed it to
.4inot, which had Chen become the
county seat. IA few years later the
Reporter plant was destroyed by fire,
Mr.. Johnson urchased the Minot
journal, which was owned by Messrs.
Mann and Arnold and he consolidat-
ed the Journal with the Reporter. re.
tanning the old name of the Ward
County Reporter. In 1897 he dispos-
ed Of the paper to Geo. Wilson, now
editor and publisher Of the Stanley
Sun. "a few years later Mr.. Wilson
sold to Sam H. Clark and last year
Mr.. Carroll became the owner.
Mr.. Johnson has always been anx'
ious to own The Reporter since he
disposed Of 1t to Mr.. Wilson. He has
watched 1t grow from small week
ly to a daily newspaper with increas-
ing interest and his desire to become
owner finally resulted in his purchase
OF 1t today. Under his personal man
agement The Reporter bids fair to
forge ahead rapidly, always main
tanning its present position as the
leading newspapers in northwestern
North Dakota.

help FOR
NORTH DAKOTA
Commissioner GiIbreath ReCei.
wing Requests From Men
Who Want Work
Question Of Transportation
Only Barrier to Men
Coming Here

Commissioner of agriculture and
Labor w. G. Gilbreath is receiving
hundreds of letters daily from men
who are desirous o. securing employ.
ment in the harvest fields Of North
Dakota. There should be no scarcity
Of help this season as result Of
commissioner Gilbreath's persistent
efforts to bring working men to the
state.
Over a month ago Commissioner
Gilbreath anticipated the scarcity Of
labor in the harvest fields and i'm.
mediately took the matter up with
the railroads. He explained to the
railway officials what North Dakota's
needs would be during the harvest
period, ana asked them to assist the
department of agriculture and labor,
both by advertising and by procuring
laborers. The railways willingly co.
operated, and published list show
ing the number of men needed in va
rious sections of NORTH Dakota. These
4lsts were distributed broadcast. The
rilways are especially interested In
the labor question, for it is for their
own good and welfare that the farm
ers be served with necessary help to
garner their grain.
Commissioner GilDreath also took
the matter up with other labor bu-
reaus, and is receiving letters from
many states where the labor depart
ments are cooperating with the
North Dakota officials in an endeav.
or to send nan to North Dakota.
AS evidence of the assistance that
is being rendered by the departments
of labor of other states, Commission
er Gilbreath is in receipt Of letter
from a man in Brunswick, Ca, who
states that he has learned through
Hon. Charles Harris, director of the
free employment bureau of Kansas,
that North Dakota is in need of 25,-
900 harvest hands. This is direct
result of Commission Gilbreath's
correspondence with Mr.. Harris.
Another letter has been received
from a gentleman residing at Lans-
ing, Michigan, who states that he
could place two hundred men m
4,orth Dakota at once, providing
transportation is advanced. Hundreds
Of o-her letters have been received
by Commissioner Gilbreath from in.
dividuals representing from 10 to 100
men, who say they would be glad to
come to North Dakota, providing
wages are satisfactory, and they
could receive transportation, that
would later he deducted from their
wages after they arrive.
Further, the department Of agricul-
ture and labor has sent out advertise
ments to at least so Of the leading
newspapers Of the East and South,
where there exist congested cohdi-
tions Of labor, telling Of North Da.
kota's need Of harvest workers, and
assuring them they may procure
work at once at wages Of from $3.50
to So per day.
From all existing conditions there
appears to be but one obstacle in the
way OF securing adequate labor to
care for the bumper harvest Of 1912,
and that is the question of transpor-
tation. Many Of the men who wocld
come here have insufficient means to
pay their railway fare, but II this
condition can be alleviated by the
employers, there will be no lack Of
help to reap North Dakota's crops
this year.
