Prairies Of n. D.
Teacher and Six Pupils Lose
Lives in Vain and Needless
Effort to Escape

Especial Seven are dead as
a result of the disastrous prairie
fire which swept over the district
southwest of Belfield yesterday
afternoon. Miss Gladys Holli.
ster, teacher, and six of he,
pupils gave up their lives in 9
vain and needless effort tc
escape the flames that were
driven by a high wind. Four OF
the dead, the teacher and three
pupils, were found living on the
prairie, huddled together in
terror, when they found their
escape cut off.
Three other children also in
the heap of victims were badly
burned, dying during the night.
The school house from which
the teacher and her pupils he
stands only slightly SCARED as a
result of the prairie fire, the
hungry flames only licking at it
as they were driven past. In
side it, the teacher and her flock
would have pulled through the
fire safely.
Six of the twelve Children in
the school when the prairie fire
was sighted racing through the
narrow valley in which the
school is situated, escaped.
They didn't follow their teach
er who sought to reach the hill on
the opposite side of the valley
to a piece of plowed ground,
but instead made their way in
an opposite direction and were
unhurt.
The dead are: Miss HolIister
of Belfeld, aged 23; two children
of William Pike, two children of
VIM. Meuge, one child of V. A.
Smith and one child of c. II.
Geery, All the children are
between the ages of 6 and IL.
The little town of Belfield and
the surrounding countryside to.
day is in mourning over the
terrible tragedy, The bodies Of
the six little children have been
placed in the several homes of
the parents and funeral plans
being arranged today, may pro,
vide for the JOINT burial of the
entire number tomorrow.
Prairie fires that have devast-
ated this section have been part
icularly severe. Within the last
week several big fires have oc-
Cured.
In the Fayette district a strip
twenty-five miles long between
the Knife River and Crooked
Creek was burned over with
heavy losses to farmers 1t was
only stopped when it reached the
great fire break ploWed by the
farmers ahead of the flames.
Several people narrowly eScap.
ed death. Another prairie fire
near Manning caused a heavy
loss there.
The fire was finally stopped
fifteen or twenty miles south OF
the school house It burned
over many thousands Of acres

Two Big Prairie
Fires Monday


Monday afternoon 10y two very de-
structlve prairie fires, both Of
which, IT is stated. originated at
the railroad track, one east and
one west of the city. The high
wind made control of the flames
mpcssibe in spite OF the fact that
many citizens of Lennon and all
the country folk turned out to
fight them The course of the fires
WAS from northwest 10 southeast
and wes all the way from one To
three miles in width, The dam
age done will amount To many
thousands of dollars, much winter
range and number of hay. corn
and straw stacks that had been
put up for the winter being con.
sumed
While these two fires we're in
progress, "A third one was started
Just on the east limits Of the city.
The fire alarm was sounded and
the fire department responded
quickly, with the result that it
was checked before it had obtaln-
ell much headway.
The east fire started at the rail
road track just east of the Fred
Southworth home and swept south.

nearly 100 tons of hay besides

Of thls point and swept way TO the
Grand River before it was checked.
The Clyde Sims quarter on the
reservation was burned over and
some stacks OF grain were consum-
ed. We have not been able to
learn of further damage on the
reservation, but We presume that
many stacks Of hay that were in
the path of the fire were consumed.
THE WEST FIRE
The west fire started near the
White Butte church and swept
southeast for distance Of about
twelve miles, averaging from one
to three miles in width The
narrowest point Of the fire Was AT
the Gene Allen place. about five
miles southeast of White Butte

Reservation Will
Be Opened
Remainder of Standing Rock
Reservation Expected To Be
Opened to Settlers

Judge John McPaul of Wash
lngton, ID. C.. superintendent of
Opening and Sale of Indian
lands. was here yesterday and
accompanied by Senator Harris,
M. F. Ryan and Anton Runbeck
made a 100 mile drive over the
unopened portion of Standing
Rock, for the purpose of seeing
how the land looks, and what
crops can be raised on it. A
visit was made at the Harris
farm south Of Mclaughlin at
which place flax threshing was
in full swing, and where hun
dreds Of fat steers are being
winter fed. From there the
party went north through Nc
Laughlin, and across the state
line, thence east to the Farm
School, and from there back to
Wakrala
The Judge stated that the ad-
ministration wants to have their
own men investigate what
method of opening is best under
conditions existing here, and
that the registration plan will
not be adopted, unless necessary
as it entails great expense to
the public and benefits no one in
particular. If possible, the
reservation will be opened early
enough next spring to permit
settlers to seed and plant such
ground as they may wish to
break.
Judge McPhaul was favorably
impressed with the country.
but said that every effort will
be made to have this Congress
pass the 320 acre law, so that it
would be in effect when the
opening takes place, which will
probably be not later than May
1st. He left for Billings Mont.
where a land opening may take
place next spring. -MorristoW n

CONGRESS MEETS

Finance Committee Is Anxious to Have the Revenue Bill Passed With out Further Delay.

The house ways and means committee hopes by Thursday at the latest to agree upon commodities to be taxed. Representative Underwood chairman of the committee, believes the house can pass the bill by Saturday night.
 Informal conferences today resulted in no definite understanding as to what commodities should be taxed other than beer, proprietary prepara- tions and soft drinks. Committee members still insist that gasoline should be taxed and that the argu- ments against it are not we'll found ed. They do not believe that farmers and small manufacturers who use gasoline would make any serious complaint.
 Several members gre still insistent that an additional tax should be levied on liquors alG the question probably will be decided by a record vote in the committee. Taxes on au- tomobiles and moving pictures ap- peared tonight the most likely addi- tions to the list althoush the form they would take was in doubt.
 Members Of the finance committee are anxious to have the revenue bill passed in the house They hope to be able to accept the house bill but many senators favor a stamp tax on commercial taper which the hou~, committee is inclined to avoid. A stamp tax on commercial instruments during the Spanish-American war yielded nearly $lO,O0oO00.
 Thus far all the plans of the ways and means committee have been on basis ignoring a stamp tax, but if agreement cannot be reached on tax. able commodities that will yield S25..

U. 5. CAN NOT AID
 STARVING RESERVISTS
FAMILIES or MANY FOREIGNERS SUFFERING BUT NO MEANS AT
 HAND TO HELP THEM,

Washington, Sept. With the pinch of poverty tightening among families left in the United States Ivy thousands of European reservists, government officials today found themselves without means of offering aid. The relief problem would have to be handed, 1t was declared, by state and local governments, through public subscription and by such help as the warning governments could extend.
 Unofficial reports indicated relief soon would be required. Hundreds are dependent upon public subscrip tion in New York. In some centers where aliens have established homes the situation is serious.
 None of the dependents of the aliens who went back to Europe to fight can be deported under the law defining public charges,' because their plight results from causes that occurred after they landed in the United States. The government S exercising leniency even among the undesirab.es now here if their depor- tation means exposure to danger abroad.
 More than 300 aliens subject to de- portation at the outbreak of the war have been allowed to remain until conditions permit of their expulsion with safety. Many of these are in public institutions, where they will stay.
 New arrivals found ineligible are not deported unless they can return direct on ships flying friendly flags to the ports from which they sailed. A German ineligible reaching tho United States on a ship of one of the allies would not be deported until the steamship line declared it safe to re- turn him to the port from which he took passage. A few aliens have been sent back upon their own re- quests. Some of them declared they wished to join their colors.

 Relief work for those rendered des- titute in European countries already has been undertaken by their fellow countrymen in the United States, notably by the French. These organ. izations probably will do what they can for needy aliens here.

DECISIVE BATTLE
 IS IN PROGRESS
GREAT INTEREST IN THE RE. PORTED STRUGGLE ALONG
 12o-MlLE BATTLE LINE.
Crash Came on the Adversary of Order For Investment of Paris Dur ing the War of 1870.
med the Liege forts, many of them

Washington, Sept. 7.-Officials here displayed much interest tonight in the reports of the general engage ment in France along an extended battle front. The feeling was general that a decisive battle was in progress. but official dispatches contained 10 news of the hostilities.
 Military observers noted tonight that MeauX, the place east of Paris where the general engagement began today, is where the German hadquar. ters were established September 16 1870, and the orders issue for the in vestment of Paris.
 These orders directed the German army of the Mouse to invest the capi. tai in a wide half circle from the Marne above Paris, to the Seine be- tow it, while the third army was or dered to form similar half circle on the left bank of the rivers.
 The orders also specified that in case any attempt to relieve the capi- tai the army was to allow the reliev- ing force to approach within a short distance and then, leaving the invest ment to be maintained by weak de tails, to strike the enemy with it's main body.
 It is regarded as a coincidence that the second attempt at investment be- gins at the same place and almost ol the same day of the year as the first investment, but under entirely differ ent conditions. The previous German advance to MeaM came after Em- peror Napoleon II had surrendered at Sedan and the Germans had swept the fieid up to Paris, whereas they are at MeauX today with the allied forces still intact and fighting des- perately.
