IS
Up IN arms
SAYS THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE
STATE Do NOT UNDERSTAND
THE JAPANESE SITUATION.

One of the Independents readers
writes from Lompoc, Cali, anent the
Japanese situation, as follows:
81 notice what dad" Marsh said
about the Japs in California. We don't
need the Japs to make our gardens,
we want our own white men to do
that. The Japs live on 20 cents day
and get 1925 day. Take it in Lom-
poe Valley, they pay $50 and $40 per
acre, which makes it hard on our
white farmers. The white men can't
compete on account of the Japs' cheap
living. If we did not stop them early,
California will have more Japs and
Cinnamon than white people. More
than that, they want to get foothold
in case of war.
Suppose they came to your country,
say about half as many as you have
whites. They have their own stores,
barber shops, ETC., work cheaper than
the whites can. Where would Minot
be in a little while? Colonel Bryan
nor Woodrow Wilson knew just how
the land lay till Bryan came out here.
They know now. If there must be
trouble, it would be better to have it
before they own half the state. They
are pretty wise owls. They do not
"savy" sometimes, like the Indians.
What would you think if you could
see whole towns Of Japanese where
there were formerly all whites?
This is information for you, and
am right and Gov. Johnson is right,
altho he is a Progressive"

GET $500AT
TAYLOR DRUG STORE.
ENTER BUILDING BY BREAKING
GLASS AND BARS FROM REAR
DOOR-MONEY TAKEN FROM
SAFE-DISCOVERY MADE EAR.
LY MONDAY MORNING.

Looters entered the Taylor Drug
store, North Main street, sometime
Sunday night and opening the safe
carefully, secured nearly $500 in sill
yer and currency. The store was en-
tered thru the rear, the thieves having
little trouble to get in. The glass in
the rear door was broken and the
bars pried off.
Young Nichols, who works at the
store, intended leaving the city on the
2 o'clock train that morning, but as
it had been annulled, he went to the
store at 5 o'clock and found the safe
open and the money gone.
He went at once to the police sta
ton and had no trouble in finding the
night patrolmen, who were notified of
the burglary. They left at once and
made search but up to this time, no
clue has been found.
Cap Saunders, manager of the store
and one of the proprietors, says he re-
members distinctly of locking the safe
before he went home at nine o'clock
Sunday night. 1t is most likely that
the burglars were handy at opening
safes and did not need to 60 to the
trouble of blowing it.
They left about 5000 in checks, a
twenty dollar bill and several gold
pieces.

McCUTCHEON HELD
TO DISTRICT COURT
POLICEMAN CHARGED WITH
SHOOTING THEO. D. KELLER
THRU THE LEG WAS GIVEN A
HEARING TUESDAY.

]. E. McCutcheon, night desk sar-
geant at the city Jail, was bound over
by Judge Murray Tuesday afternoon,
to district court, charged with assault
with a deadly weapon with intent to
do bodily harm. McCutcheon was
placed under $500 bonds, and bail was
furnished by Fred Ehr and E. A.
Marsh.
r. A. Nestos, states attorney, han
died the case for the state, while the
defendant was represented by Dudley
L. Nash.
McCutcheon, accompanied by Chief
of Police Smith, took walk into the
"jungles" north of the city last Thurs
day morning to rout out a nest of ho-
boes. Both officers, it seems, had
pulled their revolvers and done some
shooting, but no one believes that
there was any intention of shooting
anyone. Theo. D. Keller, young man
of excellent appearance, who had ar
rived from Valley City day or two
before, had gone to the river with his
companion, Frank G. Prudy, after buy
ing some food from one Of the Minot
stores, and being Joined by two
strangers, also laboring men, they
intended to cook their breakfast and
enjoy themselves in the cool woods.
Keller and Purdy both claim that
Officer McCutcheon appeared with
drawn revolver and asked what the
men were doing there, and ordered
them to get out. They state that Nc
Cutcheon began shooting before they
had any chance to explain, and then
kicked their food into the river. Kel-
Ter felt a stinging sensation in his leg,
just like the pain that fire cracker
Nigh give if it exploded in ones hand.
The men claim that McCutcheon or
dered the men to line up and that they
did so, and that he started off with
the two strangers. Chief Smith soon
and Investigating, found that
Keller's leg had been pierced by bull
let, but that the bone hand not been
struck. He placed the injured man in
the buggy and took him to the police
station, later sending him to the hos
pital. Keller's wound was given the
best of care and it has practically
healed. He was able to walk to the
court house, where the hearing was
held, but has to use cane.
Chief Smith took the stand and his
story was substantially the same as
that told by the states witnesses.
From questions asked him by the at
torney for the defense, it is believed
that an attempt will be made to show
that the bullet that pierced Keller's
leg could have been fired by Smith.
Smith carried an automatic pistol and
of calibre smaller than the gun car
ried by McCutcheon.
The complaint against McCutcheon
was made by Frand c. Purdy.
Keller's mother resides at Valley
City and the man has been working
on farm in that vicinity.

Cut Worms Destroy Minot Gardens.

Cut-worms are playing havoc with
the Minot Gardens, destroying great
patches Of lettuce, spinach, cabbage
and even onions. There appears to be
little remedy for the pests, except to
place cans or card board about the
plants. The worms do not bother the
plants after the vegetables make suf-
ficient growth, and usually the hot
weather in July puts the pests out Of
business.

mof1onk Lake, x. T., Oct. 23.-Pres- ident Wilson's treatment of the Phil ippines problem was both approved and condemned tonight at the Lake Mohonk conference of Friends of the Indians and Other Dependent Peoples. The speakers who condemned were de- cidedly in the majority, The views ex~ pressed, however, varied from advo- cacy of perpetual American control to belief in immediate independence. The dominant opinion favored making the F4lip4nos independent but not un- til a generation or more had been de- voted to teaching them how to govern themselves. The most radical address proposed resjgning the care of the islands to an international council and if the great powers refused to accept this trust, turning the Philippines over to Japan.

 General Huerta said that his govern ment was determined at all costs to protect the lives and interests of for eigners in Mexico, but that the gov ernment was equally determined that the domestic affairs of Mexico shall be settled by the Mexicans themselves.
 He referred to the president of the United States in terms of the great est respect and expressed unbOunded admiration for the people and insti- tUtions of the United States. He point ed out with great emphasis that the difference between the people of Mex icO and the people of the United States was a difference SO inherent and fun damental in the character of the two races as to make it entirely impos- sibIe to apply t0 the people of Mexico Am meETcan methods in the evolution of a democratic government for his coun- frV

 Langeard made the trip through whirlpool rapids from the Maid of the Mist landing on the Canadian side to the whirlpool to furnish a subject for a moving picture film, The trip had been made several times before with out nishap.
 When darkness closed in over the gorge headlights were taken from troll ley cars >along the Canadian side and in their dim light the crowds watch ed Langeard's fight for life In the meantime the fire department from Niagara Falls, Ont, had been sum moned and several unsuccessful efforts were made by the f1remen to send out 8 rope attached to a float
 Shortly before 8 o'clock Fred Pres ton of Niagara Falls, Ont, volunteered 10 swim out with life line attached to his waist. Langeard by this time was exhausted and lay still in the bottom of the boat which bounced in the vortex like & cork.
 The crowd, then numbering nearly 1000, cheered when Preston struck out for the rescue. Half way out his life line became entangled in driftwood and he was compelled to return to shore On his second attempt he reached the side of the boat He was afraid to climb into the craft which then was half filled with water. Clinging to the side of the boat he called out to the rescuers on shore to pull.
 Aided by instructions called out by Preston, the boat was finally man oeuvred out of the danger zone and was slowly drawn ashore. Preston was given a great ovation by the crowd.
