Heavy Rains Cover
The Slope Country

A soaking rain has been falling all
night all over this section Of the Mis-.
souri, slope, and it came at a time
when it will be a great benefit to
crops in this part of the state. Crops
all through the state have been suf-
fering for the past two weeks, and In
many localities farmers were becom..
ing anxious as to the outcome.
From all reports this rain has been
general. 1t commenced at an early
hour Thursday morning and covered
all the country along the 500 Line to-
the Northern part Of the state, and
it seems to have followed the south
line.
To the west of the Missouri river,
where the crops have been badly in
need of rain, the fields seemed to
have also received the benefit of this
last rain. AS far as the eastern part
of the state is concerned, it is believ-.
ed the rain extended completely to
the Red River Valley.

enforcement League
. Sounds WARNING

1t is much better to secure obedi
ence to law by preventing the viola
ton than by prosecuting the violator
The North Dakota Enforcement
League hopes to save prosecutions
for gambling by informing every VIC
lator in the state that he may immedi
ately cut out all gambling. The fol
lowing Is the new Session Laws:
Chapter 172, Session Laws 1913 pro
vides that ANY house, building, room
or place where any table, cards, dice
or any article or apparatus whatever
useful or intended to be used in play.
!, ing any game of cards, or faro, or 9th
er game of chance, upon which prop
erty or money is usually wagered, or
where, persons resort, or are per.
mitted to resort for gambling or any
disorderly house, building, room, or
place of public resort, by which the
peace, comfort or decencys Of the i'm.
mediate neighborhood is habitually
disturbed are hereby declared to be a
common nuisance; and if the evidence
of such nuisance is established either
in criminal or equitable action upon
the judgment of a jury, court or
judge having jurisdiction, finding
such a place to be common nuisance
the sheriff, his deputy, or any con-
stable of the proper county, or mar
shall of any city where the same is To-
Gated, shall be directed to shut up and
abate such place by taking possession
thereof, and close the same against
it's use by anyone, and keep the same
closed for period of one year"
The same law provides that if an
affidavit be presented to the court
showing that such violations are TAX
ing place on the premises that the
court shall order the sheriff to imme-
diately close the same and keep the
same securely locked awaiting final
judgment in the action. Also crimi~
nal actions may be. started against the
violator, and he may be fined from
SIS to $1,000 and be imprisoned in the
county jail not to exceed one year.
This law is in effect in North Da-
kota after July LIST and the North Da-
kota Enforcement League will enforce
it. 1t means that any hotel, store,
pool room or other place may be pad
locked for allowing any gambling of
any kind. This means you and your
place and the only safe course is to
cut out all gambling now.

Attempts Forgery
And Is Captured
WISCONSIN MAN ATTEMPTS TO
PASS FORGED CHECKS, BUTTS
CAPTURED BY KELLY.

James Williams, alias Ben Thomp-
son, will serve time in the state penn
Tertiary at Bismarck as the result OF
an ill advised attempt to pass forged
checks on local clothing house
Monday.
Williams, who is a stranger here,
and attempted to cash check amount
ing to s81.70, purporting to have been
drawn by Magnus Chilberg in his fav-
or. Identification was asked for, and
he departed to find some one who
knew him. Later the store was CALL
ed on the phone and an alleged iden-
LITIGATION was made of Williams, by
someone representing himself to be
Chilberg.
The store thought it recognized VIII.
liams' voice at the phone, and still re-
fused to cash the check, but called in
Deputy Sheriff Kelly. Evidently Will
liams knew that he was suspected,
for he did not come near the store
again. At late hour that night he
went to his hotel to get his baggage,
and was there arrested by Kelly who
had been watching for him.
Yesterday Williams was arraigned
and bound over to the district court
and it is expected that he will plead
guilty this week. In his possession
when arrested were found number
of worthless checks by local parties
1t is said the man confessed to a rob
berry in Wisconsin about two years
ago, for which he was never caught.
Jamestown, N. D., June 28.-Frank
wager, claiming to be from Tomah,
Wis, was charged with attempting to
pass a forged check at Valley City
and yesterday was sentenced by Judge
2offey of the district court to an inde-
terminate sentence Of from five to ten
years in the state penitentiary. The
check was for $81.10 and purported to
be signed by M. Chilberg, farmer,
for whom wager had been working.

''BIaCk Leg Kills
Fifteen Animals

Darlington, N. D., June 30.-In a
pasture containing some ESQ head Of
cattle on Kelly creek near Bordulac,
black leg broke out several days ago
and thirteen young cattle died before
the herd was vaccinated. Since the
vaccination none of the stock has died.
The cattle are owned by F. A. Roach
Beckley, Niccum and others. 1t is
thought the disease started when a
calf was brought in from the south
and placed in the pasture. The dis
ease attacks only the younger cattle
and three or four died daily while the
disease ragged. ..2

! Washburn, N. D., June 26.-The fate
of Walford T. Anderson, the bank
clerk who has been on trial the past
two weeks for the murder Of Cashier
Funk, April IA, now rests with the
jury which retired at 6 o'clock last
night and will not return until ver-
dict is reached.
In charging the jury, Judge Craw-
ford gave the numbers of verdicts it
is possible to return; that of murder
in the first degree, punishable by
hanging or life Imprisonment; second
degree murder, manslaughter in either
the first or second degree; or not
guilty.
The judge left the matter of punish
ment if Anderson is found guilty, with
the jury, and instructed that they
could only find verdict of guilty
if they believed, beyond reasonable
doubt, testimony which would warrant
conviction; if not the jury must &C.
quit.
Attorney Bangs for the defense
argued for over six hours while At
torney Lawrences address yesterday
afternoon for the state was only three
hours. The jury was attentive in fol-
lowing the arguments and the judges
charge.
The court room was packed during
the day. Prediction is that if the jury
convicts it will be first degree murder.
Anderson and his wife and sister wept
but little during the ordeal of yester-
day.
Washburn, N. D., June Palate
yesterday, Tracy r. Bangs, attorney
for Walfred T. Anderson, the bank
clerk who is being tried for the MUIR
der of F. E. Funk on April IA, ended
his argument to the jury. During his
address Anderson and his two sisters
sobbed aloud and Mrs. Anderson bow
ed her head. Bangs talked for more
than six hours, assailing the testimony
of the states witness as being largely
| circumstantial.
Aubrey Lawrence, who has been
conducting the prosecution with
States Attorney G.. F. Maennel, is to
follow Mr.. Bangs and deliver the argu-
ment and rebuttal for the state.
Judge Crawford will then deliver his
charge to the jury. ess.
In prosecuting the case against And
erson, the commissioners of Mclean
county have spared no expense. But
| the fact that a great number of what
was considered important witnesses
were not put on the stand has caused
an unusual amount of adverse COM
ment, especially from the commits
sioners themselves, who cannot under
stand why many important matters
were not brought into the case during
the trial
The excuse that much was left out
because certain testimony would in
yolve some of the witnesses who have
been active in helping secure evidence
for the prosecution has not appeased
the county commissioners and thor
ough investigation is being planned, it
is stated.
No blame has been attached to the
course Attorney Lawrence has pur-
sued in conducting the prosecution;
but the opinion prevails that there
are many important matters Mr.. Law
renee should have been permitted to
use. The matter a year ago, when
black hand caricatures were used in
decorating the exterior of the First
National bank for the purpose of scar
ing Cashier Funk out of town were
never referred to in the course of the
trial. It is said that there were sew
