INCH AND HALF
RAIN YESTERDAY
GREAT RAIN YESTERDAY AF-
TERNOON SEEMED QUITE GEN.
ERAL-EVERYBODY SMILES

One of the finest rains ever seen
in this section of the state fell here
yesterday and last night. It COM
menced to rain about two o'clock and
in little over an hour an inch and
half of rain fell. After the heavy
down pour it kept raining lightly and
by seven o'clock this morning the
total was two and one tenth inches
This changes the records in the wea-
ther bureau office for the correspond
ing week during the past five years
as this is usually a dry week, the
heaviest precipitation previous to this
being but .46 of an inch in 1911.
It is not known just how wide an
area is covered by this rain but from
reports it extended east and north
over large territory. Yesterdays
downyour however did not go very
far west as there was little rain at
Trenton. There is little rain falling
yet this morning however and from
all appearances there is more to come
and it is hoped it will reach every
acre in this section Of the state.
The rain was reported as very
heavy at Ray. They claim that it
foated steel water tank on the
street and that couple of men were
given ride down Main street in the
new style boat.

ARRESTED ON
ROBBERY CHARGE
GREAT NORTHERN BRAKEMAN
CHARGED WITH ROBBING BOES
ON TRAIN BOUND OVER

G. NJ. Ragsdale, great Northern
breakman, arrested on the charge Of
holding up couple of boes riding on
a freight between here and Minot was
given a hearing Friday and Monday
and was bound over tc district court
under $500 bonds in two cases. Rags
dale sent to Minot for bonds and in
the mean time he is in the custody of
the sheriff.
He was given a hearing on the
charge of holding up Thomas Law
with a revolver and taking from him
watch and jack knife. From the
testimony introduced it appears that
Law and a negro by the name Of An
drew Cargile were in box car near
the front end of the train and that
while nthe Wheelock hill Regsdale
came in and held Law up, taking the
watch and knife. He returned the
him and the Minot police and Great
Northern Special Agent A. L. Miller
searched his rooms where they found
the stolen watch in shoe.
Attorney VIM. Owens appeared for
the defense and made a strong fight
for the defendant: It was claimed
by the defense that the watch deal
was a frame up between the boes and
the special agent. 1t was claimd that
the special agent had it in for Rags
dale. That he had the hoes in his
room at Minot before the defendant
appeared and that he securedthe watch
and then hid it in the Ragsdale's room
where he later found it in the shoes
when he had the police seach the
rooms. There was no evidence how
ever to prove this to the court and
Ragsdale was bound over.
He was also charged with holding
up and robbing Frank Locken in a
gondola car farther back in the train
and taking from him ten dollars. The
witnesses in this case were Arthur
Cook. Lewis Dahl and Henry Larson.
In this case the defendant waived
hearing and was bound over under
$50 bonds. The witness for the state
were placed under $1OO each to ap-
Fear in district court and being un-
able to secure the bonds they are in
the custody Of the sheriff.

DECLARES TAFT
ORDER INVALID
U. s. DISTRICT JUDGE OVER
RUl Es EXEMPTION ORDER
OIL TRUST GETS LAND

Los Angeles, CAL, June "A with
drawal order by which William H.
Taft, while president in 1909, exempt
ed from entry government lands in
California variously estimated in
value at from $250,OOO,O0 to $1,OO0,-
100000 was declared invalid in a de-
cision of Judge Maurice T. Dooling of
the United States district court of
San Francisco, which reached Los
Angeles by mail yesterday. Judge
Dooling heard the case in Los An
geles, sitting in place of Judge Olin
We,lhorn, who considered himself
disqualified.
Judge Dooling's decision nullifies
the order by which the former presi-
dent planned to provide great
source Of fuel for the American navy
by eXempting the oil land from entry
by private locators and gives to the
Midway Oil Co. and the Standard Oil
Co., the principal defendants, undis-
puted possession.
The application for an order re-
otI Gi!IlllS lIlc CSlC!!CGuLS IRON 1uECN-
er use Of the land and for receiver
is denied.
Similar minor actions now pending
will be affected by the decision. Judge
Dooling, in his ruling, says:
"The effect Of these withdrawal
orders is to suspend the mineral laws
of the United States. The executive
power cannot permanently affect such
LEGISLATION.
81 am not content to seek for
authority for these Withdrawals in
the dicta of decisions or in some
shadowy twilight zone lying between
the powers expressly granted to con-
gress and the powers expressly grant
ed to the president.
"The PRONUNCIATION of the with
drawal orders in question, l believe
to be one ramifcation of growing
tendency to concentrate in the execu-
tive more power than can be traced
to any specific constitutional or
legislative provision"
With this conclusion Judge Dooling
dismissed the action.
