Richard Olson, the Lisbon Ford man,
who was hunting near Minor, was
shot by a farmer named Albertson,
who used 90 rifle. The bullet struck
his head, rendering the Ford man UNI
conscious. Albertson picked Olson up
and carried him to Lisbon, where he
will recover. He claims the shooting
an accident and says he only attempt

Missing practically his entire youth
and robbed Of most things that bright

boy Of Williston, gladly consented to
60 to the state rofrom school. He felt
it would be an easier battle for ex-

able to learn something at the insti-
tuition school. The boy was left with
out mother early in life in Renville
county, Minnesota, and does not know
where his father is. A farmer took
him and compelled so much hard work
that the boys shoulder and arm were

Mexican LEADERS
MAY ENGAGE IN WAR
THE VILLA-CARRANZA BREACH
CAUSES SINISTER FEELING ~
FOREIGN RESIDENTS AGAIN
ALARMED - UNITED STATES
FROWNS UPON TROUBLE.

Washington, Sept. 24.-General Viii
las open reputation of General Car
ranza's authority as first chief of the
constitutionalist army in charge of
the executive power in Mexico, spread
sinister feeling in official circles to-
day. While officials admitted that
the situation was threatening one,
they we're not without hope that the
trouble would not lead to a physical
clash. Once before, Villa renowned
Carranza's authority, they said, and
delegates of the two chiefs met at
Torreon, where Villa again recognized
Carranza as first chief. That efforts
would be made to adjust the differ
ences of the two leaders peacefully
was generally expected but just how
far the United States government
would lend its influence to the move
ment was not known.
That the American government will
frown on a continuance of bloodshed
in Mexico is known to both Villa and
Carranza. In the strongest possible
language, Paul Fuller, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson, who has
just returned from Mexico, told Car
rama and Villa that the United States
would insist ,on the maintenance Of
peace at it's doors.
Should fighting ensue, however, Of
fetal reports show that Villa has
nearly 100000 men, of whom $4,000 are
veteran fighters, we'll equipped. With
General Obregon, commander of the
strongest division under Carranza, a
prisoner in Villas hands, the first
chief will be considerably embarrassed
though he has several thousands Of
fighting men in central Mexico I'M
der the command of General Pablo
Gonzalez.

BOWBELLS WINS

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. "a. By 9 SUI
preme court decision today, Bowbells
is finally assured Of being the perma-
nent seat Of Burke county, winning
contest brought by Ignite, the sec
ond city Of the county.
The contest against Bowbells was
launched after an election four years
ago, and has thrice been through the
supreme court. Today's decision is on
a rehearing granted after the last de-
cision in favor Of Bowbells.
The action was based on an act Ia
ken by the county canvassing board,
which eliminated the votes Of several
precincts because Of alleged irregu-
farities. BY eliminating such votes,
Ignite, apparently the victor on the
face Of the full returns, has to take
second place.

ARKANSAS HAS CHILD LABOR
LAW.

At the popular election just held
II Arkansas the people of that state
passed a child labor law which was
initiated by petition last spring. THIS
Is the first child labor law to be
passed under the initiative.inA any
state, and more people cast ballots
for it than for any other matters vot-
n on at the election.
Tie law, which, goes into effect
January 1, 1915 provides a fourteen
year age limit for children in any re-
n%unerative occupation; a sixteen
gear age limit for any employment in
mines and other specified dangerous
occupations; an eight-hour day and
he prohibition OF night work for all
under 1G, and Il requirement for en-
ployment certificates for all children
mder 1G. giving documentary proof
of age and evidence Of the completion
of four grades of school. Only eight
nthcr states have all these provisions
on their statute books.
Tie National Child Labor Commit
tee, which has been working with the
Arkansas Federation OF Labor for the
law, regards the great popular inter-
est in the measure as an assurance
that the law will be enforced and
that child labor is doomed in Ar

Of other Republican papers opposed
this abuse OF power and it was obltt-
