Following the raid by the state po lice under Superintendent Egan and Asst, Supt. A. l.. Story here between Wednesday night and Thursday morn ing, there was a busy session of the police court here Thursday.

The men arrested were locked up in cells, while the Wo- men were kept under surveillance in the courtroom, where the crowd of curious onlookers was kept down to a limit by allowing only enough in the courtroom as could be seated on the benches.

 Fourteen of the men paid S142S each, a total of $199.92, to Clerk Tib-
 bits. Two men had no money tC pay and had to go to jail. One of the first men to pay was a soldier from one of the forts in the New London district. His stay of leave was up at 6 o'clock and he made a beeline for a New London trolley as he left the court. Four of the mer | arrested were Germans, one a Pole one a Swede. two Greeks and the res Americans.
 The women put up bank books ol | cash to secure their freedom. Ont offered a fine diamond ring, but Clerl | Tibbits declined that as a bond. Int | last two of the women to secure theil | freedom were a red haired girl and ( 1 blonde, who sat in the courtroom

cent per 100 in freight rates on corn,

from points in Iowa, Minnesota and
South Dakota to destinations in North
Dakota and other states was sus-
pended today by the Interstate COM
merce commission until December 21
Transcontinental railways are fac
ing suspension by the interstate
commerce commission of the advances
in freight rates proposed recently.
The new rates to become effective Sep
tember 2 would increase the trans
portation charges of many commodi-
ties from the Atlantic seaboard to
Pacific coasv terminals. They wluld
make also some reductions to inter
mountain destinations. Vigorous pro-
tests are being received from eastern
manufacturers and shippers and from
Pacific coast jobbers and merchants
1t appears likely many of the l1".
posed increases will be suspended
pending thorough inquiry
Generally the increase would be
made by the cancellation of existing
coremodity rates, thereby forcing the
commodities to take high class
rate.

KIDDER COUNTY
HAS, ORGANIZED
MEETING AT DAWSON COMPLET'
ED SLOPE CHAIN OF COUN.
TY LEAGUES

Dawson, N. D., Aug. 49, The last
of the sixteen slope counties to fall
into line and affiliate with the Mis-
souri, Slope Development league was
Kidder county at get together meet
ing here, and as result this county
has today one of the livest county
development leagues in the entire
slope district, evidence Of which is
already manifested by their con-
tracing for exhibit space at the
Bismarck exposition, and by the fact
that they are securing Kidder coun-
ty today securing the finest of that
county's bountiful crop.
Although the rush of harvest pre-
vented a larger attendance by the
farmers, many of them from various
parts of the county left the binder
long enough to join in making up one
of the most representative gatherings
held at any Of the county organiza-
tions this year.
BY a unanimous vote it was decid-
ed to at once form Kidder County
Development league, and the following
officers were elected:
President-Col. w. P. Tuttle Of
Dawson.
Vice President at large-Chas
Roberts of Dawson.
Secretary-C. w. Cross of Daw-
son.
Treasurer-John F. Robinson of
Steele.
Director of the parent organization
or slope league-D. D. Mckee Of
Tappen and B. G. Loughren Of
Steele.
After drafting and adopting suit
able bylaws, preparing a list OF
forty district vice presidents, one Of
each township in the county, each
to be in charge of the leagues work
in his particular township, deciding
upon the space at the Bismarck ex-
position and of grain samples, grass
es and forage crops, the meeting ad-
journed.
It was a successful organization in
every way. The officers are men
in whom the people Of the county
have confidence and they are "doers''
not "dreamers," and yesterdays meet
ing was but the start Of one of the
greatest powers for public good that
Kidder county has ever known.
