Mark Lovett of LaMoure was
drowned in the James river while tax

Grand Forks, N. D., July 27.-Taken
to Michigan, N. D.. when they wanted
to land some place in the state of
Michigan, Alexander Gergolitz and
family of Russia are stranded in this
city. Bergolitz, who can scarcely
speak English, claims that he told the
conductor on the train that he was

some way he was brought to this state.
He denies that he was sent for by his
brother-in-law in the wolverine state.
Bergolitz has a large family with

Yesterday my breast was aching
And the clouds hung dark above:
Yesterday my heart was breathing
Not for unrequited love.
Yesterday / feared the morrow
And the ills that 1t would bring;
Yesterday I sat in sorrow.

While in the act of generating the

very nearly cost him his life.
AS he was pouring wood alcohol
onto the generator which was not suf-
ficiently warm, the alcohol caught fire
and went into the bottle he was hold
ing in his hand, which was about half
full. 1t Immediately exploded and shot
alcohol over his clothes and head. He

owing to the presence of mind of some

coats and towels and the fire extin-
guished. DR.. Mackenzie was sum-

dressed the burns.
1t is not possible at this time to as
certain just. how badly he is burned.
His eyesight is no doubt not affected,
as a short time after the accident he
vas handed a mirror and said he could
see himself, but not very clearly.

master, killed two of the escort, drove
off the others, and captured the am.
b~ulance, in which was the safe con.
tanning $1,000 in greenbacks. They
knew that there was money inside, and
they first pounded of the knob with
stones, thinking the door could then
be pried open.
1t was a failure, of course, and then
they tried to cut a hole i'm the safe
with their tomahawks.
They had seen iron softened by
IRE, and the next move was to give
that safe three hours roasting, but it
was fireproof. After working in this
way for a day and a night they
dragged the safe up the side of a
hill and tambled it down two hun.
dred feet, but the only damage done
was to break of the wheels.
Finally they tried gunpowder, but
not knowing how TO apply it, the only
result was the burning OF a half dozen
warriors. They then went. away and
left 1t in disgust, and it was six months
later when it was found by the sol
diers, and taken to a fort, where the
door was blown open. and the money
recovered.
When the Apaches heard that the
safe had been opened. one of the
braves who had worked hardest
growled: White man some fool, In.

me, knowing that so be served the
best interests Of his empire. 3
The rest Is contemporary history.
You remember how the Panther
steamed to Morocco, how she forced
her way into the harbor Of Agadir
and created an international sensation
by remaining there about two weeks.
You remember how one French ana
one English warship came almost 81
multaneously. and how the officers and
everybody tingling to open fire, the
terrible war that broke out In 1914
Just missed being precipitated then.
You may not know that the British
and French admirals sent a secret
uitimatum to the captain of the Pan
therl Unless he left Agadir he would
be forced to leaYe. That meant war.
The Emperors Discovery.
Now had the captain Of the Panther
not received the private message from
the emperor, he would have been
forced by his naval code to resist this
ultimatum by force. Had he gone
there acting under the original official
orders, red war would have blazed
across Europe in 1911 instead of 1914.
The slightest slip would have caused

Their steamed away.
And this was the ~cIeverest part OF
the emperor's scheme: he knew that
France and England were allies; he
did not know though, just how sin
cere this alliance was. BY sending
the Panther into Agadir he learned
that the entente cordiale really meant
something, that England and France
were allies, that they were prepared
to resist Germany, shoulder to shout
der I'm war. s.
IL OOH a master stroke 10 bring the
situation up to the point Of WARRIOR
1t was dangerous business, with all
Germany roaring for war--and then
avert war when Germany and France
were on the verge of 1t. But with
his verbal message the emperor
shrewdly accomplished 1t. The re-
suits we're before him. BY creating
the situation he knew that he had
powerful nations opposed to him.
Good!
What he would do now would be to
take one of those nations and, If pos
sibie, secretly ally himself with 1t,
leaving the other out in the cold.
Then began the intrigues which re-
suited In the isolation Of France, as
the kaiser was led to believe, but
which recent events have proved to
the contrary.
