ut apepars almost incredible that
country of 100000 people could
ever be reduced to- population of
less than 100000, yet that is the his
tory of Bolivia" remarked Horace G.
former minister to that
country, at the Shoreham. ''The diff
ference represents the prices paid in
lives and blood, pain and suffering.
Bolivia paid for Spanish conquest, and
the billions of gold and silver the
Spanish grandees took from that part
of the world made their own country
great. 1t has been nearly one hun
dred and fifty years since the Spani-
ards were driven from Bolivia. Since
then the country has had a long pc

etrable jungles. glaciers and tepid

ALLEGED FORCER
IS widely SOUGHT
Wanted in Several Cities on
Charges Of Passing
Bad Checks.
OPERATED HERE
BY NAME OF FITCH
Engaged as Insurance Agent
and Uses That as His
Fort.

Travelling about the country under
by the name Of Robert A. Fitch in
this city, is wanted at several points
for forgery. Fitch came to this city
and claimed that he had lost $1,000
In the Calgry oil fields. He seemed to
be an expert in the insurance bust
ness. and was hired by the Northern
Life Insurance company.
He went to Cando and called upon
the agent of the company at that
place. and induced him to help get
forged draft cashed at one of the
banks there, the amount being SIS.
He then went to Mfnot, using the
name of Walters He cashed draft
there for $25, claiming it was drawn
on the Great Northern First National
bank at Grand Forks. He induced
some person to identify him and, Sc
cured the money on the draft
The local bank and the insurance
company will not have to stand the
loss. however. as the draft was in
dorsed by the party at Minot. The
Great Northern stood the loss on the
Cando draft in order to protect it's
agent at that place.
According to advices Fitch also
succeeded in cashing forged draft at
Culbertson. Mont. The matter is be-
ing taken up by the National Bankers
association. Fitch appears to be a
finished crook and every effort will be
made to put him under arrest. He
never tries to cash any large drafts,
but goes after the small amounts.

The Grafton men had crept cau-
tiously along the top Of the razor
back from a point several miles fur
ther east, and under cover Of the bat
tie which was raging on the plain be-
low had gained their position Of ad
vantage from which they could sweep

The victory was won. Cheering
madly the remnants of the Grand
Forks and Williston companies swept
onwards up to the entrenchment,
while those Of the defenders who had
escaped the deadly fire of Company
c sought safety in fight.
Flushed with success the victorious
army returned to Camp Mccoy,
bringing with them a large number
of the enemy who had surrendered on
the promise of good treatment and
plenty to eat.

The Army Of the North successfully
shut off the Army of the South last
Saturday. The latter forces made an
attempt to secure supplies, but the
foe met them In the hills and prevent
ed their march. They were unable
to secure any supplies whatever and
last reports show them starving.
This was one Of the best maneuvers

FLOOD OF MISERY
SWEEPS GERMANY

London, Sept. 1.-Wild indignation
is manifested in German newspapers
reaching this city over the action TAX
en- by Japan in support of Great Bri-
tain. Editorially most of the news
papers refer to the japanese as black
mailers. The Germans. however,
seem resigned to the loss Of Kiau-
Chau, comforting themselves with the
reflection that it's ultimate fate will
be decided on European battlefelds.
The newspapers remind their readers
that Kiau Chau has already cost Ger
many nearly s40.0O0.00O, besides the
immense sums spent on railways and
mines.
All the newspapers lament the sit
uation of the unemployed and call on
the government for measures to al
leviate the distress which the Vor-
waerts calls the flood of misery
which is slowly and surely inundating
the empire"
