HAIL STORM DESTROYS THOU
SANDS OF DOLLARS OF CROP

One Of the worst hail storms
that has ever passed over the
valley came yesterday afternoon,
passing south of town in a north
east direction from the southwest.
All grain fields in its path were
practically destroyed and num-
Der of those who were insured
are receiving 100q6 loss. The hail
stricken strip commences down
in the Lame Steer district in the
neighborhood of w. A. Sprague' $
and extending in a northeast dir
ection, running from three to FIVE
miles wide, to ]. E. Arnold's, east
of town. The storm was severe,
and the fields seen by the
Chronicle man south of town were
practically total losses. On the
outer sides of the strip the dam
age was not 50 severe, but the
amount of grain destroyed would
run into thousands of dollars.
The Burke Insurance-Loan
agency, the largest hail insurance
agency in the city, report heavy
loss among the companies they

IF it be a consoling thought to
Mr.. Elliott that the Northern Pa

ture success, in which they have
full faith, he may know that that
feeling. in its greatest fullness, is

breaking of old ties is shown in the
fact that on Thursday, August
9TH, the University Club of Saint
Paul gave Mr.. Elliott a dinner,
followed by one on Friday, the

by the Northern Pacific dinner on
Saturday, and on Monday, August

BANQUET OF OFFICERS AND
EMPLOYEES TO PRES. ELLIOTT
Retiring President Of Northern Pacific Railway
Honored By Many at St. Paul

For ten years Howard Elliott
has held the reins and directed
the destinies of the Northern Pa
ci6c.
1t was absolutely certein, when
it became known that Mr.. Elliott
was to sever the pleasant relations
so long existent between himself
and his employees. that he would
not be allowed to go without a
striking demonstration of the es-
TEEN and love in which those en-
ployes held him. On Saturday
night, August 9th, banquet was
held at the St. Paul Hotel, St.
Paul, as farewell to Mr.. Elliott.
1t was strictly and exclusively. a
Northern Pacific affair, at which
there were nearly 800 in attend
ance. From all parts of the
Northern Paci6c,system they came
to break bread, congratulate.
shake hands, and say farewell to
Mr.. Elliott and to wish him God
speed in his new field of endeav-
or.
1t is no easy matter for these
men to part with their old chief,
nor may we believe, is it any cas-
ier for that chief to say farewell
to them. Bacon has said

Der q, "a, Is and rs Chosen as Dates---
William Rosenberg Selected as Manager.

the dates.
The citizens of Beach gathered
together, about fifty in number, at
Woodruff & Linger's hall last Fri
day evening and it was the un-
animous sentiment of the meeting
to hold fair.
The purpose of the meeting was
to determine whether or not
Beach business men wanted to
continue to hold county fair at
Beach. The meeting was called
to order by ]. P. Smith, who was
elected chairman of the meeting
and William Rosenberg was
chosen as secretary.
After stating the purpose of the
meeting a standing vote was TAX
en- as to whether a county fair
should be held and every man
voted AYE" by standing. 1t was
suggested that the fair this year
be conducted by the business men,
independent of the fair association
and an executive board was chos-
en-, consisting of ]. w. Waters. I.
L. Smith, N. P. Reed, A. B. Mac
Nab and F. E Near. to have en-
tire charge of the 1913 fair.
1t was moved and seconded
that a finance committee be sell
ected to raise $1,000 to be turn
ed over to the executive board
and Theo. Schweitzer. John M.
Baer..and 3 HI. Wall appointed
for that purpose. -
Already over $1,000 has been
subscribed and the prospects to
double this amount is promising,
it being estimated that at leas;
$4,000 must be raised to make
the fair a success. 1t was moved
and carried that all outstanding
premiums be paid out of this
fund.
The executive board met the
following day and selected ]. P.
Reeve as their secretary and Will
liam Rosenberg as manager. Mr..
Rosenberg is already busy making
preparations and he promises,
with assistance, to give the people
good county fair.

he was given medical care. We'd
nesday it was decided to take him
to the Dickinson hospital and he
was taken there on No. E that
evening. but it seems he was in
jured so badly that nothing could
be done to save his life, and last
evening word came from Dickin-
son that he had passed away.
MIR. Adamson, in speaking of
the accident, says the car skidd-
ed sideways and then turned over
bottom side up. AS Mr.. Kramer
jumped out of the front seat. he
laid over to that side and hung
onto the steering wheel and was
held under the caruntilitwaslifted
off from him. From where Davis
was picked up he had only been
thrown about ten feet.
+ The car was not badly damag-
ed, two of the wheels and the
steering wheel being broken, 9TH
erwise there was little damage
done to the car.
The story that this car had pre-
viously run into a horse and broke
his leg is unfounded, according to
Mr.. Adamson. who says that this
accident was that of another party
and that he had had no such ex-
perience.
Mr. Davis. the dead man, was a
bartender at Yates, but aside from
that little is known regarding

buried from view of the public.
The San Francisco report is as
follows:
San Francisco, CAL, Aug. O.
Bolstered up by the thought that
when he arrived in San Francisco
last Thursday night, he had taken
the first step that would lead to a
reconciliation with his wife, Mrs.
Carrie ,Ethelyn Metcalf. who ha.
been here since January last max
ing her home with friends. James
A. Metcalf, a former Glendive,
Mont, newspaper publisher re-
ceived shock when he stepped
from his room at the Stewart
hotel this morning.
He was served with a COM
plant filed in the superior court
by Mrs. Metcalf, wherein she seeks
an accounting from him of for
tune she entrusted to his care be-
fore and after their marriage in
Michigan l5 years ago.
There may be reconciliation,
counsel for the wife admits, but
it will not be until after the prop
erty right of both have been de-
termined in court or arranged by
conference.
Service having been made up
on the husband here he will be
compelled to remain in San Fran
cisco to defend the action. The
only other course open is to effect
settlement with Mrs. Metcalf
and then probably take her back
home.
Had Metcalf been content to
live apart from his wife she would
not be able to sue here or else
where than the residence of her
husband at Glendive.
In November 1897, the wife
alleges, she was a single woman,
l9 years of age. In that month
she and Metcalf became engaged
to marry, but were not united un-
til November 1898.
At the time Of the engagement
Mrs. Metcalf says she was possess
ed of an inherited fortune from
her parents in Ohio. A part of
this. in cash she claims to have
turned over to Metcalf before
their wedding day and more than
$4,000 before 1905.

A fatal auto accident, similar
to the one in which A. H. Lytle
lost his life, occurred Tuesday night
at about eleven o clock, two miles
east of Wibaux, which resulted in
the death of John Davis, of Yates.
An account of the accident was
given to the Chronicle man by
Ralph Adamson, the driver of the
car, and is as follows:
MIR Admanson, who runs an
auto livery, was driving his car
carrying John Davis, Frank Diebel
and Peter Kramer, all of Yates,
to Wibaux. When they were run

According to press dispatches
Minot is the center of fierce lab
or war, which broke out this week.
Hundreds of laborers and local
citizens have been arrested and
placed in Jail and the town is in
great excitement. Many deputies
have been sworn in to assist in
maintaining order and if the
strife continues the state militia
may be called out to put down
the trouble.
The trouble was brought about
by the breaking up of a street
meeting of |. w. w. workers
which resulted in riot and the
arrest of one hundred and forty
five. This took place Monday
and since that time additional ar
rests have been made every day,
with street speaking and rioting.
A Minot dispatch of Wednes-
day says:
Deputy sheriffs and police,
armed with high powered rifles
and shotguns are patroling Minot's 8
city streets tonight from the tops
of high buildings. They are
ready to shoot if further rioting
occurs and resistance is offered.
The armed patrol of the streets
came as a result of two serious
riots late tonight, after 50 |. w.
w. men driven from the city a
day ago, returned.
Add to Jail.
In anticipation of further whole.
sale arrests, an addition was hast
lily constructed to the city Jail.
More than 80 prisoners occupy
crowded quarters in the city to-
night.
With the return of |. w. w.
workers to the city and the arrival
of reinforcements from trouble
centers east of here the city was
thrown into confusion tonight.
Crowds Parade.
Crowds gathered at the stree,
corners and marched up and down
the streets singing and occasion
ally stopping while some melr.be,
made a speech
A large meeting near the lie
land hotel blocked traffic and a
squad of police reserves and de.
puties was called into action. Sew.
en- men. alleged to have been the
ringleaders, were arrested.
Use Club Freely.
The seven men were rushed to
the city Jail with a bowling mob
at their heels. Police and deputies
fought with the crowd every foot
of the way. Policemen used thei,
clubs freely and with telling eff.
feet. Several participants in the
clash suffered broken noses and
cuts and bruises.
The authorities reached the jail
with their prisoners, with difficult

cell doors to admit the new pris.

No shots were fired and ths
prisoners renewed their attack on

Holly Grove Seeks Better
 Train Service.

A committee composed of Dr. T. B. Sylar, Rudolph Abramson, and Fred Atkins, representing the business interests of Holly Grove, were through Brinkley Tuesday en route to Little Rock to appear before the Railroad Commission petitioning for a better train service for Holly Grove.
 They hope to have the Iron Mountain make Holly Grove in- stead of Pine City the terminal for the train which leaves Brink ley at 12:3O each day. In this way it will be possible for them to get in and out of the Brinkley gateway each day. Brinkley would be quite glad to cooper ate with the Holly Grove people ina movement of this kind.
 The matter comes up before the Commission April 18th.
