BOYS TAKE WET HIKE

Ten youngsters working on the
cranberry marsh walked into the city
Saturday morning. The boys who
work on the marshes during the sum
mer vacation left because of the higt
water, it being impossible to work
under the conditions which prevail
at this time
The boys started on long II mile
hike at seven-thirty that morning, and
walked and ran the entire distance
to the city.
They say that the roads are in a
pretty bad condition and that in sew
eraI places the water was ankle deep
and that in one place it was almost
knee deep They took what is known
as the Short cut" and found that
the water was running over the en-
bankment which constitutes this
passage.
The boys making the hike were:
Cbas. and Leslie Hager, Geo. Fair
ner, Felix and stephen Kfrsehling,
Grant Gee, Harvey Boorman, George

/ LIGHTNING PLAYS FRANKS
AT FISHER HOME

lightning did some funny stunts
at the home of Warren Fisher on
Elm St. early Saturday morning. It
was when heavy crash came when
things began to happen. Mr. and Mrs.
Fisher were reused by the crash and
later heard the domestic in the
house moving about. Investigations
showed that the glass covering in
the electric meter had been entirely
blown away and that the floor was
covered with small particles of glass.
The switch for turning on the lights
in the basement was torn from the
wall and was lying at the top of the
stairway The lightning arrester on
the telephone line was torn from its
fastenings and part of it was found
out in the street. The lightning, no
doubt, came in over the electric
light wires as the wires on the
meter were torn right out of their
connection

MONTENEGRINS
REGAIN SCUTARI

Rome, Aug. 12.-Montenegro has vio-
lated the new state Of Albania and TAX
en- the city of Scutari. Advices re-
ceived here yesterday declare that a
force has recaptured the city, which
was taken from Montenegro by the
powers at the close of the last Balkan
war. M~ontenegrin troops captured
Scutart during that conflict, after ter
rife fighting.
Ihe Montenegrins have directed an
attack at Thebinje, in Herzegovina, ff-
teen miles southeast Of Mostar. Their
losses so far are only 200 killed. The
Austrian losses are much smaller.
Advices here yesterday state that a
M~ontenegrin gunboat bombarded the
Austrian Notifications at Cattaro. Only
slight damage was done.
Austrians Bombard Antivari.
Details of the b~ombardment of An
tivari, Montenegro, received here yes
terday, indicate that the city's fortih-
cations were utterly leveled by the
destructive fire from Austrian war
ships.
M~ontenegrin troops attempted to re-
ply with small arms, and n of the
Austrian cruisers then turned it's fire
on the city proper, destroying a num-
Der of houses.
Wireless Rendered Useless.
The naval station, with all build
1ngs, was destroyed. The wireless
towers were rendered useless, several
being blown up by. explosive shells.
The city's electric lighting plant was
badly damaged.
M~ontenegrins took refuge in the
hills. The cruisers made no attempt to
land men.
Public opinion here considers the
bombardment of Antivari, the sole port
Of Montenegro, as an offense by
Austria against the interests and rights
Of Italy, because of the damage done
to the property of the Italian company
at that port.

which increased the share of the COM
p~etitors in the interstate trade and de-
creased the share. Of the defendants.
Neither the Standard Oil Co. case nor
the American Tobacco Co. case, nor
any other authority cited, seem to me
to rule this case, because in none of
them was there such affirmative and
to my mind conclusive evidence tina
for years before the suits were COM
menced the defendants had practiced
no acts and pursued no methods which
constituted an undue restraint of trade
or an unreasonable attempt to monop-
olize it.
Their prices to the consumers re-
manned nearly stationary and increased
far less than the prices of other agri-
cultural machinery. the trade in which
was not claimed to have been restrain
ed or monopolized. The chief harvest
machine was the binder. Its price ad-
vanced about 5 per cent during some
of the intermediate years, but was
su substantially the same in 1912 for a
better machine than it was for q poor
er machine in 1902, while the price of
cultivators, wagons and pillow goods,
which were certainly not m~onopolized,
advanced from 10 to 30 per cent. And
the acts of the defendants and the
proved effects Of their acts during at
least seven years before this suit was
commenced to my mind demonstrated
the fact that they were neither un-
duly or un~reasonably restraining or
attempting to monopolize interstate or
foreign trade in the articles they made
and sold, and that they n their cas-
fall far without the prohibition of the
antitrust law and the aso for it.
THE only reason for the prevention
or restraint of acts of defendants in a
suit under the fourth section of the
statute, Is, as we AVE seen, that they
are or threaten to be unduly injurious
to the public. If they are not thus in.
furious, or If they are beneficial and
such restraint or prevention Of their
acts would be injurious to the public
they should not be restrained or pre-
vented"
Judge Sanborn then refers to the
contention Of the defendants that the
main purpose of the combination of
1902 and 1905 was to develop the for
eign trade in American harvesting ma
chinery and that to do SO required |
more capital. and concludes by recit- |
ing how this trade:
In my opinion a decree should be
rendered that the complaint in this
be dismissed without prejudice
to the right of the United States to
bring another suit of like character
any of the defendants when
ever any of them is found to be en-
in the commission of any acts
In violation of the antitrust statute"

REV. SAUNDERS RETURNED
TO HIS FIRST CHARGE

jamestown, N. D., Aug, 12.-Rev. E.
E. Saunders Of Heaton was in the city
en- route home from Mapleton, where
he preached Sunday, and where he &C
cepted a call to the Congregational
church. He will remove his family
there at once.
Mr.. Saunders says it was just TWEEN
ty-six years G that he received the
call to come to North Dakota from
Marquette, Mich. It was twenty-six
years g next month that he preached
in Mapleton and his text was Follow
Me. There was a young lady in the
audience who took the text literally
and she has been with him ever since,
as his wife and helpmeet.
Eight years ago Rev. Mr.. Saunders
went to Heaton, which then consisted
of four families, and a less number
of buildings, and organized a Sunday
school with twenty-eight members.
Louis Falk and Frank Popst, the viii
lage blacksmith, had houses. Mr..
Hoppe and family lived in the N. P.
station and MI. Hurst piled his goods
on the ground and built a house
around them. Mr.. Saunders lived in a
granary in the county the first sum-
mer. Jan. 20. following, the first
church vas organized in Heaton with
ten members. Five of the members
lived on the north side of the track
and five of them lived on the south
side. Five of the members were men
and five of them were women Now
the congregation has it's own church
and parsonage entirely paid for and
the pastors salary paid to July /.
There are now thirty-nine members
in the church and fifty nave been re-
ceived during the passionate of Mr..
Saunders.
Mapleton is the old and familiar field
of Mr.. Saunders and he Is delighted
friends Of the early days and more re-
cent years.
