Joe Bonds will box at the next

BARREAUSPROVE
CLEVER RING MEN

Frank and Ernie Barrieou of
Vancouver, b. c., made their de-
but before the fans of Tacoma mt
the Moose smoker last night and
proved to the satisfaction of all
and sundry that the reports of
their cleverness and abaility
hadn't been exaggerated. They
had little difficulty In beating the
Bishop brothers.
Frank Barrieau Is probably a
shade the better boxer of the
two. He looks to have the stiffest
punch and shows a little better
ring generalship. During the
four rounds he boxed Bishop he
was scarcely hit hard once or
twice. He peppered the South
Tacoman at will with left jab,
and used straight right with eff
feet. Harry Bishop seemed pale
last night. and in not as good con-
dition as usual.
Ernie Barieau had the edge on
Leo Bishop and pounded him at
will. He showed an impressive
style of milling. and clever foot
work. He timed his rights to
Leo's chin with almost uncanny
precision.
The Bishop boys showed, how
ever, that they possess wonderful
endurance. Time after time they
took wallops that would have
slowed the majority of boxers
away, but only rushed In with re-
newed vim. When 1t comes to
taking punishment without winc-
ing they are In q class by them
selves.
The bout between Sammy Good
and Billy Wright, which was ex-
pected to be a very entertaining
affair, proved distinct disap-
pointment. Both boys are under
the management of Dan Salt of
Seattle and the majority of the
fans loudly accused them of STALL
ing. Good missed swing after
swing, and seemed in poor condi-
ton. While Wright showed
flashes of his cleverness at times,

WORST SEES PLOT
FOR HIS REMOVAL
Calls on Governor Hanna to Dis
cipline Trustees of Farm
School.

BISMARCK, N. D., Sept. 3.-Presi-
dent J. H. Worst Of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, in submitt-
ing to Governor L. B. Hanna letter
citing conditions created by the board
of trustees Of the institution which he
believes cause grounds for the reno
val of such trustees, sets forth the
existence Of a plot to remove him
from the college presidency.
President Worst's letter, forming
the basis of the inquiry that Attorney
General Andrew Miller is making into
the question Of alleged illegal acts by
the college board of trustees, is the
sensational feature of the contest in
which friction between Thomas
Cooper, director of the experiment
station, and President J. H. Worst
has risen to the surface.
President Worst, in his letter to
Governor Hanna, also expresses the
belief that there is plot under way
to remove Professor E. R. Laid and
Professor H. L. Bolley, Of the college,
from their present positions.
A majority of the trustees who are
attacked will retire at the end of the
present year by virtue of the expir-
alton of their terms. C. E. Nugent, of
Fargo, Ge<I'ge H. HOLSTER Of Fargo,
Clark w. Kelly of Devils Lake, and
Peter Elliott of Fargo are the trus-
tees whose terms only have four
months to run.
An assistant in the office Of the at
torney general is investigating the
matters cited by President Worst, and
a report will be Forthcoming in a
week or ten DAYS.

GOPHER MINES
HAVE MUCH IRON
Production in 1913 Was 62.37
Per Cent of Country's Total,
Says Figures.

Minnesota is not only the greatest
iron producing state in the Union, but
it produces more iron ore than all the
other states combined, according to
figures announced yesterday at the
office of the state auditor in St. Paul.
The figures were taken from the Off
cial report of the United States geo.
logical survey =:
These figures, according to J. P.
Funk, chief clerk Of the land depart
ment of the auditors office, show that
Minnesota in 1913 produced 62.37 per
cent Of all the iron ore mined in the
United States. The total output for
the United States in 1913 was 61,-
980,437 long tons,. an increase of a.
930, 900 tons over the preceding year.
Twenty-eight states in all produce
iron ore, Michigan running second,
Alabama, third, New York, fourth and
Wisconsin fifth. The production this
year is expected to be lower than last
because of a decrease in demand.
Minnesota state owned mines play
an important part in the iron produc-
ton and seven mines of the first class
will begin shipping early in the year.
The Hill-Annex mine, believed to con-
tain 50,000,000 tons of ore, is ready to
operate as soon as the engines are re-
ceived. These mines are on the Mes
aba range, which alone produces SO
per cent of the total United States
output.

AMERICAN GIRL TRAVELS OVER,
BL00D-S0AKED FIELD AT LIECE

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The battle
field of Liege as seen through the eyes
of an American girl, was described
yesterday by Miss Anna Lang, a
graduate nurse Of the Bridgeport,
Conn.,, hospital, a passenger on the
steamer Ryndam from Rotterdam.
II was in Liege when the fight
started" said Miss Laing. "Several
Belgian officers who were friends of
mine took me to house where I was
practically out Of the range of the
shells that were being hurled at the
city by the Germans. During the
evening the Germans withdrew for
some reason and during the lull in the
fgting two of the Belgian officers in
vited me to go over the field where
the heaviest fighting had taken place.
Ground Soaked With Blood.
"The ground was literally soaked
with blood and the bodies of horses
and men lay everywhere There was
many a place where blood had flowed
down the sides of little hills and
earthworks; it's course was plainly
marked. Some bushes were spattered

SAILORS TOSS GERMAN
SHELLS OVERHEARD

LONDON, Sept. 3.-The Harwich
correspondent of the Telegraph gives
interviews with wounded sailors and
speaks Of the plucky way in which the
English handled live shells. Many
of the German shells which made hits,
it appears, did not burst.
"There were five shells in the boiler
of one Of the destroyers," he quotes
one Of the sailors as saying, "and if
one had burst, it would have been all
up with the ship. We just SHE'D them
overheard There was no room for
such rubbish aboard our yacht"
The Germans also showed great
grit. AS one of the cruisers was 60
ing down with decks afame and the
bag and mast shot away, the only
man left in the forecastle hoisted the
flag and then went down with the
ship.

OFFICIAL STORY OF FOUR DAYS
FIGHTING GIVEN OUT BY BRITISH

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Although Eng
France to take the place Of those
lost during last weeks fighting and
it is known that Paris is making active
preparations for a siege, and official
statement of Lord Kitchener, telling
of thepart the British played in the
four days. battle, has greatly relieved
the tension in London.
His statement that Sir John French
placed the British losses at from
5000 to 5000 was received calmly.
Hysterical reports which had been
circulated of serious reverses had led
the public to believe that the losses
might be much greater.
The statement Of the war minister
that the confidence and spirit of the
army is mistaken has revived hopes
of ultimate victory. Lord Kitchener
declared that every gun lost by the
British forces had been replaced and
twice the number of troops lost have
taken their place, and that the British
have not been seriously attacked since
Wednesday. The retirement Of the
British forces was always in good
order and in the face of vastly SUI
perior number of Germans.
Kitchener's Statement.
Lord Kitchener's statement, which
was issued through the medium Of the
official information bureau, follows:
"Although the dispatches of Sir
John French as to the recent battle
have not yet been received, it is pos
sible now to state what has been the
British share in the recent operations.
"There has, in fact, been a four
days. battle-on Aug. %, "a, rs and
26. During the whole Of this period
the British, in conformity with gen.
were occupied in resisting and check
ing the German advance and in with
drawing to new lines of defense.
"The battle began at Mons on Sun
day, during which day and part of the
night the German attack, which was
stubbornly pressed and repeated, was
completely checked by the British
front. On Monday, the oath, the Ger
mans made vigorous efforts in super
ior numbers to prevent the safe with
drawal of the British army and drive
it into the fortress of Maubeuge.
German Losses Heavy.
"This effort was frustrated by the
steadiness and skill with which the
British retirement was conducted and
as on the previous day, very heavy
losses far in excess of anything suf-
fered by us, were inflicted on the enc
my, who, in dense formation and in
enormous masses, marched forward
again to storm the British lines.
1.-THE British retirement proceeded
on Aug. rs with continuous fighting
though not on the scale of the previous
two days and by the night of the 25th
the British army occupied the line Of
Cambria, Landrecies and LecateauA
(Cambrai is a fortified town in the
department of the north, 80 miles
southeast of Lille on the River
Scheldt; Lacateau is IA miles east by
southeast of Cambrai.)
"It had been intended to resume the
retirement at daybreak on tn 26th,
but the German attack, in which no
less than five army corps were en-
gagged, was so close and fierce that it
was not possible to carry out this in
tention until the afternoon.

II saw trenches filled to the top
with dead German soldiers. These
trenches, the Belgian officers explain
ed to me, had been dug by the Bel
gians and occupied by them until the
great army of advancing Germans
forced them to retreat. As the Ger
man infantry mounted the breast
works in front of the trenches, the re-
treating Belgians poured murderous
fire into their ranks and their bodies
fell inside. Then the Belgian officers
said, their men moved down more
Germans with a deadly cross fire,
which not only filled up the trenches
with bodies, but left many piled on
top of one another on the breast
works and the ground nearby"
Helped Dress Wounds.
When Miss Laing returned to the
city she helped dress the wounds of
many Belgian soldiers. She left the
city before it was captured by the
Germans, however, and managed to
make her way to Rotterdam, where
she boarded the ship that brought
her to New York yesterday.

Yesterday Limbo appeared in the
yard with revolver and fired one
shot at his sister, but missed her.
When the mother, frightened by
the screams Of the daughter, ran
from the house she. was confronted
by the maniac, who fired bullet in
to her breast, and when she ran from
him he fired second time, hitting
her in the back. She was carried in
to the house and soon expired.
Brandishing his gun and yelling at
the top of his voice, Londbo vanished
in the woods near by and has not since
been seen. The sheriff of Chisago
county was notified and search is be-
ing made for the fugitive.
The murdered woman was about IS

few weeks at very reasonable rates,
and which, in very many cases, they
can store securely and safely.
We are ruled largely by custom,
and the custom is to do the things
which call for the greatest possible
expenditure of money for the smallest
possible return, and then to complain
about the price. We have done it and,
doubtless, will continue to do it. And
because prices promise to be measure
ably higher than usual this winter, we
will complain all the harder.-Grand

was of most severe and desperate
character. The troops offered a su-
perb and most stubborn resistance to
the tremendous odds with which they
were confronted and at length extri-
Gated themselves in good order
though with serious loss and under
the heaviest artillery fire. No guns
were taken by the enemy except those
the horses of which had all been
killed or which were shattered by high
explosive shells.
General French estimates that dur
ing the whole of these operations from
the 23d to the 26th, inclusive, his
losses amounted to 5000 or 5000
men On the other hand, the losses
suffered by the Germans in their at
tacks across the open, and through
their dense formation, are out of all
proportion to those which we have
suffered.
Slaughtered in Narrow Street.
I'm Landrecies alone, on the 18th,
as an instance, a German infantry
brigade advanced in close order to a
narrow street which they completely
filled. Our machine guns were
brought to bear on this target from
the end of the town. The head Of the
column was swept away. A frightful
panic ensued and it is estimated that
800 or 900 dead and wounded Ger
mans were left in this street alone,
Another incident which may be chosen
from many like it, was the charge of
the German guard cavalry division
upon the British Twelfth cavalry bril-
gade when the German cavalry was
thrown back with great losses and in
absolute disorder. There notable ex-
amples are what have taken place over
practically the whole front during
the engagements and the Germans
have been made to pay the extreme
price for every forward march they
have made. 49,.
"Since the 26th,, apart from cavalry
fighting, the British army has not
been molested. 1t has rested and re-
fitted after it's extreme exertions and
glorious achievements. Reinforce
ments amounting to double the losses
sustained already have joined. Every
gun has been replaced and the army
is now ready to take part in the next
great ncounter with undiminished and
undaunted spirits.
German Attack Stopped.
"Today the news is again favorable
The British have not been engaged
but the French armies, acting vigor-
ously on the right and left, have for
the time being, brought the German
attack to a standstill.
"Sir John French also reports that
on the 18th the British Fifth cavalry
brigade fought in brilliant fashion
with German cavalry, in the course of
which the Twelfth lancers and the
Royal Scots greys, routed the enemy
and speared large number in flight.
1T must be remembered through
out, that the operations in France are
vast and that we are only on one wing
Of the whole field of battle. This
strategic position of ourselves and our
allies is such that whereas a decisive
victory for our armies in France prob
ably would be fatal to the enemy, a
continuance of resistance by the
Anglo French armies upon such
scale as to keep in the closest grip
the enemy's best troops, can, if pro-
longed, lead to one conclusion
