PROMINENT MAN
IS CONVICTED
ALLEGED LEADER OF WARD
COUNTY LIQUOR TRAFFIC
FOUND GUILTY

Minot,, N. D., Jan. 10.-George
Taylor, a wealthy business man Of
Berthold, charged with keeping and
maintaining a common nuisance in
1912, at Berthold, was found guilty
by the Ward county court after the
jury had been out about two hours.
According to the officials, Taylor
had been doing intermittent pigeing
from time to time for 4 long while
and owing to his influence and money,
was able to use severA men in the
same work in and about Berthold.
''In the conviction Of Taylor:~ states
r. A. Nestos, 1--WE have finally caught
the king pin of the whole works in
my estimation"
In the trial and conviction Of this
man Taylor, the officials have taken a
long jump toward the ultimate clean
ing up Of the entire county so they
say and it is hoped that the good
work may continue with the same
amount of success.

FOREIGN CORN
FLOODS MARKET
MILLIONS OF BUSHELS FROM
SOUTH AMERICA UNDER CON-
TRACT FOR DELIVERY

New York, Jan. 9.-Nearly 100000
bushels of Argentine corn was un-
loaded today at this port and millions
more from South America are under
contract. The importations are di-
rect result of the removal of the duty
on corn under the recent tariff act.
More than 1,OOO, 900 bushels have been
received in the United States since the
tariff went into effect, the first from
Argentine ever brought here.
Already competition with American
corn has forced a decline in cash val
ues. Thirteen ships are either en-
route here or loading with corn from
Argentine.
One American manufacturing con-
Germ which uses corn syrups and kin
dred products has 100000 bushels of
the Argentine product under contract
for delivery in the near future.
When the new Argentine corn crop
is harvested importations will in
crease, according to trade authorities.
The corn already here has found the
railroads unprepared to handle it, the
port being without adequate docking
facilities. These deficiencies are be-
ing remedied rapidly.

EARTHQUAKE
STRIP OF COUNTRY so MILES
WIDE COMPLETELY BURIED
IN ASHES

Toxic, Jan. 13.-Hundreds are dead
lin the district about Kagoshima,
through an earthquake and volcanic
eruptions and tidal wave Monday.
The information was contained in
meagre dispatches reaching here
Tuesday. The full extent of the dis
aster cannot be ascertained at pres
ent, all communication being cut off
from the stricken district south of
Kumanoto to eighty miles north of
Kagoshima.
The population of Kagoshima,
which is almost completely buried in
ashes, was sixty thousand at the last
census.
Adjoining towns, cities and island
inhabitants were killed in great num-
bers by the molten lava, or drowned
while attempting to swim to safety.
A postal employe from Kagoshima
states that the big postoffice build
ing there collapsed and a great num-
Der of residences were ruined, and
many people and animals were killed.
The tragedy deeply moved the peo-
pie, the government using every re-
source to succor and aid the injured.
