STILL AN EASY MARK

Inc FarRO COuflef-NeWS Is
still engaged in slandering Rich
land county. Just few weeks ago
the publisher of that paper had
in its columns a news 90 item
concerning conditions in this city
so grossly false and slanderous
that the Commercial Club OF this
city appointed committee OF its
own members to ascertain its
source and have it corrected. The
editor was communicated with
and the mistake acknowledged
privately. but up to this time, No
public retractiOn or apology has
appeared.
Now, in yesterdays issue of the
Courier-N comes a libel
against the whole county of Rich
land. Basing a long-winded DO
litical editorial on certain state
ments sent it by self-appointed
committee of preachers engaged
in boosting L.B.Hanna for Cover.

THAT HANkIMson STORM

lue SdIufudy STORM QlQ con-
siderable damage in Hankinson.
The old Catholic Church was
struck by lightning, set on fire
and burned to the ground. Ferdi-
nand Struble's house was struck
by lightning and the chimney was
torn off but no one was hurt. OF

pieces and strung along for
about two blocks. A number OF
cellars We're filled up and gar
dens left under water. The storm
destroyed a considerable amount
of property in the country. John
Stringer's barn was torn to pie
crs. There were 26 head of live
stock in the barn at the time but
Only one calf was killed and a
ho'se injured. Carl Nelson's barn

LUMBER YARD NEEDED

Just. as the Times was about
to go to- press with a want ad."
under the above caption. it was
discovered that Wahpeton alrea-
dy has a lumber yard or two. 1t
was a narrow escape from q
mistake, but as none of its lum-
Der. yards do, any Advertising in
the newspapers it would have
been a very natural mistake to
make. 1t is from its newspaper
columns that town is sized up
and Judged by the outside world
and yet Wahpeton newspapers
are not authorized to advertise
the lumber yards it is said to
have.
Wahpeton would be mighty
good point for live lumber yard
man to locate, one who is not
ashamed of his business and
prices. and who would let the
outside world know of it's exist
ence. Oh for a good live-wire.

VILLA QUITS
CARRANzA
long-looked for Break In RebeT
Ranks Is Reported to Have
Occurred
VILLA SUPPORTERS SEIZE
carranza's Offices In North Mex.
leo and His Resignation Is
Said to Be on Wav

Reports that General Villa had
resigned as commander of the
northern military zone i'm Mexico
We're confirmed partly here last
night. CarranZa's Offices at J,lar-
ez were conliscated by Villa sun.
porters last night. Similar con.
ilscations are autloritatively re-
ported to have taken place All CHI
huahua City and at Torreon.
where Villa remained Yesterday.
The seizure of the Offices in
Juarez is taken as evidence Of the
long-predicted split between Car
rama, leader of the Revolution-
lists. and Villa. his most SUCCESS
ful chieftain.
In addition to the information
bureau and the telegraph office it
was later learned that the GUS
toms house and the treasury de-
ppartment at Juarez had been con-
fiscated by Villas officers.
Publicity Agent Jailed
n: Perez Abren, Carranza' pu.
bliclty agent. was reported as
Jailed and it was made known that
nearly all OF the employees of
Albero PAM had been arrested.
PAM has. been in charge of the
treasury department at Juarez an
has been the trusted relay man
IN the recent exchanges between
CarranZa from Santillo and Ra-
faei Zubaran at Washington. who
IN turn transferred the messages
to the mediatOrs at Niagara.
Manuel Bonilla. Villas conf
dental agent at Juarez, said last
night that he had been ordered to
hasten to Torreon to confer with
his chief.
Although Villas persistent mill
ltary successes had occasioned
speculation regarding his rela-
tlon with Carranza. the matter did
not receive serious consideration
until the appointment by Carran-
"a of General Panfilo Natera as
commander of a newly credited
military zone. Natera's appoint
ment placed him in charge of a
strip of country which Villa pre-
viously had planned to invade in
cluding the yet uncaptured city
OF Zacatecas.
Natera attacked Zacatecas
while Villa remained at Torreon,
viewing the experiment from the
rear. and according to reports
from Mexico City, completely con-
lirmed by private advices from
the ReNOlutionist front below this
point. Natera was defeated de-
cisively in frequent attempts to
take the city.
Villa Disobeys Orders
Then it was that Carranza re-
qucstcd Villa to rush to Natera's
assistance. This was several days
ago and, in the meantime. re-
ports continued to arrive of Ma
tera's defeats. Villa remained at
Torreon.
The matter of who should reg
ulate the public service in north
ern Mexico admittedly has been
a bone of contention between Ca
rama. the leader. and Villa. the
subordinate. Under the old Fed
eral regime. the railroads and
telegraph were subject to the
central control from the national
Genital. All the officials ousted by
Villa yesterday were appointees
of CarranZa. whose civil cabinet
had taken over the management
of the railroads and telegraph and
incidentally the information bur-
eau, in accordance with the pre-
scrlbed custom in Mexico.

greeted the commencement eates ora
tors of the High School last
Thursday night and the same
thing was noticably true at the

the fact that both schools had
commencement week at the same
time this year and there was a
Both schools closed very
successful year, however. and the
exercises were unusually good.
The S. S. S. commencement pro-

to it's value on the farm. and

a $500 VERDICT

William Nulph of Wyndmere
has again been awarded a YER
dict i'm the Federal Court at Far
go against the n. p. railway for
damage for the death of his wife
from injuries sustained while
travelling on the defendants road.
This time, the verdict is for So
800.
Last February he was granted
a verdict for a larger amount but
the railroad succeeded in secur-
ing a rehearing. Nulph asked
damages on the ground that his
wife was thrown against a car
seat when the train in which she
was riding switched at Minor
with such force that ner hip was
broken and complications set in
resulting in her death.

THE MINNESOTA FLOOD
Bursting Of State Ditch causes
Great Loss of Pronertv

1t has long been a disputed
question. as to which is the more
destructive, fire or water. At first
thought most people jump to the
conclusion that fire is more de-
vastating than water is, but a
visit to the flat country northeast
OF breckenridge this week will
convince any one that at least i'm
that section of country water has
been vastly more destructive the
past week than fire could have
possibly been.
The whole wide valley for
miles is completely covered by
water to the depth of from one
TO several feet. and still the wat
er comes pouring down the big
broken ditch and spreading itself
Tor miles on either side. Where
1here. was every prospect of a
bounteous harvest a week ago the
grain has been completely WIN
ed out by the flood. Dozens OF
farmers have nothing left i'm the
shape OF growing grain and even
much of the growing grass has
been destroyed.
The trouble originated i'm a
broken ditch that let the water
out over the surrounding coun-
try. and until the waters cease
to flow so strongly there is no
wav to repair the damage. and a
number OF the farmers of that To-
cality will sue the State of Mime
sofa, which owns the big ditch,
for the destruction of their crops.
For miles and miles there is a
scene OF desolation that is sick
enlng to behold, and reminds one
OF the still more awful destruc-
tion by floods that occurred in
Ohio and Indiana a year ago.

BUSINESS Is WHAT WE MAKE

The head of a great national
industry, a vertible live wire. re-
marked recently that he could
have a panic any time he want
ed it. All he had to do was to let
up driving and begin to talk hard
times.
But instead of doing this. he
increases his advertising when
things look sdually and DRIVES
his business harder. And good
times or bad times. there has new
er been a year that his business
has failed to 20 ahead and yield
handsome profit.
And this man does all his ad-
vertising in the local newspapers.

WARNS AGAINST
BLACK RUST NEWS
Big Buyer in Spring Wheat
:, Country Wires Caution as
Some Reports Are SenSa-
lIOiidls a.

ny JOSEPH F. PRITcHARD.

- CHICAGO, July 1S.-While there
we're further advances Of 1-s@ $40 in
the Chicago wheat market Friday. the
buying was on report credited TO
Dalrymple, the bonanza" wheat
farmer of the northwest; the selling
was considered Of a better character
than the buying.
George NJ. LecOunt. who is in the
spring wheat country in the interest of
FTndley and Darrell and company,
wired that house today that it would
be advisable TO act with caution on
the more sensational black rust re-
ports sent out OF the spring wheat
country az some of them were far
from actual conditions existing. Pro-
fessionals in wheat seemed anxious for
bull news. and the black rust reports
were gulped down without an ounce
Of allowance. In addition TO the fear
OF damage in the spring wheat coun-
try as believed by some in the trade,
the export sale had amounted TO fully
100000 bushels and additional yes
sci room was chartered for 500, 600
bushels TO go to Buffalo at rs cent.
Many Of the reports received from
the northwest and which referred TO
black rust, said that with a change
for more favorable weather conditions
there Is less chance for the advance
ment OF the plague. There were few
buying orders accompanying the rust
reports, which led many in the trade
especially the more conservative
to so slow in making new commit
ments on the buying side.
In the spring wheat country the
country elevator concerns. as we'll as
the farmers, do not seem to be alarm
ed by possible losses from any cause,
as the receipts at Minneapolis and Du-
luth today were 206 cars, against loo
a week ago, and Isl a year ago.
Corn ruled irregular and unsettled
with some of the months closing with
gains OF 1-SQ1-4 cent, while others
showed that much loss. The corn
market was inclined TO follow the
price changes in wheat and il was
heavy the greater part of the day, but
during the latter part Of the session it
firmed up. September ruled relative
iy firmer than the December, there be-
ing less selling pressure on the former
and possibly more covering by scat
tered shorts. There were fewer COM
plants received of drought, as re-
suit OF the good rains throughout the
corn belt east Of the river
The decline of 1-4c in oats showed
that market as an Independent one as
IL refused to follow the price In either
wheat or corn. Rains may possibly
delay harvesting in some localities.
Hogs were 10c higher at the yards
and the run in the west was small.
The advance I'm provisions was led
by ribs and pork and the market
closed firm. Shippers were the chief
buyers Of July and September ribs.
Packers were credited with selling
lard and October ribs.
