APPEAL. FOR
PROTECTION

Southern Troops DEFEATED
Lose Moral: Support
President Of Fo-Kien VIII Re.
Main Passive

Hankow, July 26.-Urgent appeals
We're received from foreigners residing
in Kuling for a naval guard. There
are over 200 there, mostly women and
children. The authorities are not TAX
ing any action. The northern forces,
according to dispatch from Kiukiang,
started a general advance yesterday
and the rebels retreated before them
in confusion. A column of northern
soldiers crossed the Yangtz Kiang and
captured cliphant island, from where
they began shelling pukow.
Fuchow, July 26.-The defeat Of the
southern revolutionary troops at
Shanghai seems to have dampened the
ardor of the president Of the province
of Fo-Kien, who sympathizes strong
ly with the rebel movement, but now
seems inclined to remain passive un-
less the southerners achieve an inn
portant military success. The war is
generally deprecated, but there is 81 a
small minority of the more youthful
and hot headed element, which clamors
for redress of grievances.
When some of the military force
was withdrawn from this city de-
tachment Of Japanese marines was or
dered ashore. In the foreign colonies
here the general opinion prevailed that
the landing Of the marines was un-
necessary. A strict censorship is inn
posed on outgoing kilograms as we'll
as upon newspapers. Many christian
missionaries were recalled from the in
terror districts owing to the possibility
of outbreaks.

SAYS CROPS ARE
LOOKING fine

Crops in the south central part OF
the state are in excellent condition
according to Joseph Blatchfords 914
Tenth street south who has just re-
turned from an extended trip through
the section of the state near Edgeley.
He was accompanied to Berlin by his
daughter, Miss Lillian Blatchford and
they visited relatives there for some
time.
Mr.. Blatchford took a three day auto
trip through the country tributary to
EdgeIey where he owns several fine
farms He farmed in that section for
twenty years and knows the country
well.
II was especially surprised at the
splendid condition of the oat CROP
said Mr.. Blatchford last evening. 4
had heard that the oats were a poor
crop this year but saw some fine
fields and all oats looked to be in
good shapes / saw some fields that
will yield seventy five bushels to the
acre.
.iThere is also lot of splendid dur
urn wheat in that section Of the state.
saw fields grown on land that was
planted to corn last year-that will go
thirty bushels to the acre have made
up my mind that | will never let a
season go by without having either
some land int ocorn or some summer
fallowed 1t makes great prepara-
tion for wheat.
While there is quite a little grain
that was poorly seeded, and will not
make over half or one third Of a crop,
all the grain that was put in right lis
coming fine. and / look tosee some fine
returns on the whole from the south
8ern part of the state.

Jewel while out moving hay for Il. G.
Strand met with a serious accident
which will lay him up for a long time
He was sitting on the mower seat and
leaned back to pull some weeds and
grass out Of the machine, and, haY-
ing the lines over his shoulders, the
horses backed up and in some way
he got mixed UP with the wheels.
However. he managed to get himself
out of the machine. but not until he
had suffered a break Of the bone near
the joint of his right thigh, and also
the large bone of his left leg near
the ankle as well as the small bone
Of the same leg, The horses finding
themselves loose began a. run on the
meadow away from. the injured and
helpless man, which, no doubt, saved
him from any further injury which
might have proved fatal.
Mr.. Strand was working on the road
some distance from the scene and
heard the cries Of the injured man for
help but did not think anything was
wrong until he came within sight of
the meadow and saw the team run
ming. He at once went to the meadow,
found the unfortunate man and took
him home. DR.. Vigeland was sum-
smoned and dressed the mans injuries
and made him as comfortable as pos
sible.

til Monday
Says Plan Of Mediation Pro-
posed Is Impractical

co Next Thursday

Washington, D. c., July 26.-Ambas-
sador Henry Lane Wilson on his ar
rival for conferences on the Mexican
situation with the president and Sec
retary Bryan, announced that he had
prepared a memorandum suggesting
the policy that the American govern
ment ought to pursue. While declar-
ing that he would not divulge it's ma
ture until he submitted his views to
the president and Bryan, the ambassa-
dor characterized as impracticable, the
proposals for mediation suggested by
the American commission. He said,
regarding mediation, that it was ven-
turing on dangerous seas" He said he
expected to return to Mexico City by a
steamer sailing next Thursday from
New York.
a Wilson criticised both William Hay
ard Hale and Reginald Delvalle. who
were sent from Washington as separ-
ate agents to investigate Mexico con-
ditions, declaring that they were act
ing for the administration there. VIII
son was vehement in his criticism of
the constftutionalists and the Madero
family. :.
After breakfasting, the ambassador
hurried to the state department, where
Bryan was waiting. The president had
gone to play golf.
1t was determined definitely that the
president would not see the ambassa-
dor until Monday, at the end of a. half
hours conference with the ambassa-
dor. Bryan, saying the talk would be
continued this afternoon, hurried to
the capitol to meet the foreign reIa-
tions committee. Bryan told the COM
mittee that the administration would
not make any immediate change in en-
forcing the nplIfra1ifN 1ayIy ~,
shipment of arms to Mexico This in
dicates that the president will continue
to refuse to issue export permits to
both Huerta and the constitutionalist
factions. -.
Delvalle also had a conference with
Bryan, at which, it is understood. he
submitted something in the nature of
a report or recommendations upon his
observations In Mexico. Whether it
related to Ambassador Wilson, is not
established Both he and Bryan de-
clined to discuss it.

HORSES KICK
PROVED FATAL

Bismarck. N. D., July 26.-Andrew
Kinneberg met with a serious accident
Thursday morning from which he
died the following day at noon.
While in the barn one of the horses
was somewhat unruIy and Mr.. Kinne-
berg hit him with a strap, at which
blow the horse kicked and struck
Andrew in the stomach with one foot
and in the side with the other. Mr..
Kinneberg was just far enough away
from the horse to get the full force
of the horses kick. and it is surely a
wonder that he was not instantly kill
ed. He was able to crawl to the house
and telephone to Harlow for his man
to come home at once. Upon the mans
arrival home he found Mr.. Kinneberg
in pretty bad condition and at once
telephoned for a doctor. Drs. Vige-
land, Lund and Warren were in con-
sultation over the injured man that
afternoon. but his injuries were such
that nothing could be done for him.
He gradually grew worse until Friday
noon when he died.
