tempt at Rescue.

Minot, Aug. 14.-The labor war in
Minot has gained such proportions to-
day that officials were discussing the
advisability of appealing to the COVER
nor for state troops. One thousand
more Industrial Workers of the World
are reported to be on their way to this
city to aid in the battle for free speech.
The determination of citizens to pre-
vent street speaking was evinced last
night when a mob attacked Industrial
Workers who were holding a meeting.
The Industrial Workers retaliated and
scenes of wild disorder followed. Po-
lice and deputies forced their way
through the mob striking right and
left. Many persons were severely club
bed and otherwise injured. The dis
turbance continued unabated until q
of the Industrial Workers had been
arrested. A bowling, kissing mob fol-
lowed them to the Jail.
Fearing a Jail delivery would be at
tempted officers armed with high power
rifles patrolled the tops of the Jail and
adjacent buildings throughout the
night.
The prisoners, now numbering 139.
howled most of the night and the din
could be Leard for blocks. At one time
the fire department was called out and
turned the hose on them in an effort
to quen the disturbance
According to leaders of the Indus
trial Workers the battle will be re-
sumed with renewed vigor upon the
arrival of reinforcements. They de-
clare they will exert every resource to
gain their right for free speech.
Authorities are equally vehement in
their declaration that order shall be
preserved even at the cost of life.
Farmers are becoming interested in
the war to the extent of refusing to
hire men who affiliate with the organ
ization.

Thief USES GUN
Fire Returned by Man Defend
ing Price Place at SeabrOOk.
Caretaker's Shot Wounds Thief
Who Rolls Down Ladder.
PARTING THREAT DELIVERED
COnfederates Garry Away
Wounded Man.
House Fired Into From Road
Several Days Before Attack.
PARTING THREAT DELIVERED
Away

Threats from unknown persons, mys-
terious shootings, and an attempted
burglary which resulted in the wound
ing of one man, identity unknown, are
features of a case which Sheriff Kiene
and his assistants are working on, and
which up to date is unsolved.
Two weeks ago, last Monday, during
the nighttime, someone standing in the
road in front of the bungalow owned
by John Price, just east of the Sea-
brook church, was fired into. The bull
let went through a screen door and
passed through one of the interior
doors of the house. No one was in the
house at the time, as Mr.. Price, who
is proprietor of the Smoke House, has
not been occupying it recently. He
has kept a Fro nchman as caretaker on
the place, however. 'Frenchy," as he
is known, was sleeping in the barn at
the time of the shooting. He says
there were several men in the party.
Last Saturday night the men return
ed There were five in the party.
"Frenchy'' was again sleeping in the
barn. He heard a noise and was able
to see five of the men and to dis
tinguish that they were negroes. They
were stationed at various points on the
premises. One had ascended a ladder
on the outside of the chicken house.
''Frenchy' was watcf lng, five chickens
were handed by the man inside to the
man on the ladder.
''Frenchy'' then opened the barn door.
In doing so the noise attracted the
attention of the thieves and one of
them fired a shot at him, hitting the
door, "F'renchy' then opened another
door and with a 80 calibre automatic
revolver opened fire on the man on the
ladder. He says he shot the man in
the head; that he crumpled up and fell
striking on the ladder and rolling to
the ground. The man in the chicken
house then came out and assisted his
wounded confederate to get away.
That the negroes were acquainted
with "Frenchy'' at least to the extent
of knowing his name is shown by the
party threat delivered by one of them,
who called back as he was running,
I'VE will get you yet, Frenchy."
Sheriff Kiene in his investigation
found the bullet holes in the house
and barn, and blood on the ladder and
ground and gives full credence to the
story told by the care-taker, who has
had trouble at other times with mys-
teriouS parties.

Cincinnati No Longer Can Claim Him
as Citizen.

Cincinnati, Aug. 14.-That Cincin-
natl has lost former President w. II.
Taft, as it's most prominent citizen, is
made known through the report of an
humble collector of taxes in the ward
in which Mr. Taft formerly resided.
The assessor reported that he had
never received a report from Mr.. Taft
as to his taxation. The board of re-
view, the official taxing body, took up
the matter with Mr.. Taft at his sum-
mer home at Point-Au-Pic, Canada,
and Mr.. Taft replied that he is now
a citizen of New Haven, Conn, where

themselves as being in accord with
the federal control board but suggest
ed changes in the reserve funds.

William SulZer, Governor of New
York, Who Has Been Impeached.

William Sulzer, impeached governor,
sat in the executive chamber on the
second floor of the building. He is
going to sit there every day, according
to friends, disregarding the impeach-
ment proceedings, which he regards as
unconstitutional. Martin H. Glynn,

governorship on the ground that Sui
zer ceased to be governor when the
senate received the articles of impeach-
ment.
The army of state employees is de-
moraIized. Department heads are at
a loss to know whose instructions to
follow. Mrs. Sulzer, star witness of
the impeached governor, is so
seriously i'll of a nervous disorder that
two additional specialists have been
summoned b. wire to attend her. Gov
ernor Sulzer asserted emphatically he
would not permit her to take the stand
at his trial for impeachment which pro-
badly will start September %.
The article of Impeachment, COM
plaint and summons were served on
Governor Sulzer Immediately after
his arrival at the capitol by Patrick
E. McCabe, clerk of the senate. The
governor received Mr.. McCabe in the
presence of a crowd of newspaper men
and capitol attendants He shook hands
with Mr.. McCabe and took his stand
behind his big fiat top desk while the
senates envoy declaimed, Il am direct
ed by the president of the senate to
serve upon you a summons and COM
plant and articles of impeachment"
Governor Sulzer took the papers,
grunted and tossed them unopened on
his desk. tAll right he said.
Poses for Photograph.
Then he posed for a photograph with
Mr.. McCabe, asked the newspaper men
to be seated and sat down himself at
his desk. His private secretary stood
beside him and made the following

rbe secret of the Big Trees.

In the days of the Prophet Elijah
sore famine afflicted the land of
Palestine. No rain fell, the brooks
ran dry, and dire distress prevailed.
eco through the land said King
Ahab to the Prophet Obadiah, unto
all the fountains of water and unto
alIetile brooks; peradventure we may
find grass and save the horses and
the mules alive. that we lose not all
the beasts" When obadiah went
forth in search of forage he fell in
with his chief, Elijah, and brought
him to Ahab, who greeted him as the
:troubler of Israel. Then Elijah
prayed for rain. according to the NBi-
bic story, and the famine was, stayed.
From this famine in Palestine, some
$40 years before Christ, to the for
ests of the Sierra Nevadas, in the
twentieth century. is far cry, but
the connecting link between the past
tand the present, between the ancient
East and the modern West, is found
in the big trees of California, the
huge species known as sequoia
lWashingtoniana.
