FARMERS CAPTURE CONVICTS
Four of Six EIude North Dakota
Posses -Four DAYS.

-Four of the six prisoners who es-
capped from the Bismarck penitentiary
were captured in the Missouri river
bottoms, fifty-six miles south of Bis
marck. They refused to discuss their
experience during the four nights AMI
three days they were hunted by pos
ses and b~loodhounds. 1t is known,
however, that they did not sleep in
doors during hat time; that they
had plenty to eat and that they en-
tered a farmhouse where one of the
men procured a new brown suit and
the rest took overalls and jumpers to
wear owe their prison garb.
Four farmers from Hazelton, in EN-
ons county, came upon the fugitives
just as the latter awakened from a
sleep outside a country schoolhouse.
Another posse from Bismarck which
had followed the convicts all the pre-
yious day was only half a mile away
at the time the capture was made.
The convicts were not armed and
gave up without a struggle.

Complains United States Is Fa-

QUOTES PRESIDENT WILSON
State Department Will Deny Allega.
tons in Reply Already Under
Preparation.

Washington, April 1O.-Germany
ment a note complaining that the lat
ter has accomplished nothing in its
diplomatic correspondence with the
allies to obtain for American export
ers the right to ship foodstuffs to the
civilian population of a belligerent
country. The communication init
mates, also, that the United States
has virtually acquiesced in the Brit.
ish order in council prohibiting COM
merce with Germany.
In view of these considerations the
German government calls attention to
the fact that the allies daily are OBJ
tanning large shipments of arms and
ed States and declares that the Ameri-
a government, While insisting on its
legal right to ship arms to belliger.
ents. does not with equal energy pur-
sue its rights to ship foodstuffs and
noncontraband articles to the civilian
population of Germany.
The note adds that, irrespective OF
the formal aspects OF the question Of
shipping arms to belligerents, the
spirit OF neutrality should be observ-
ed. IN support of this contention a
quotation is cited from President Will
sons address to congress on Mexican
affairs in August, 1913, when he said:
President Wilson Quoted.
Il shall follow the best practice of
nations in the matter OF neutrality by
f%orbidding the expectation of arms or
munitions OF war of any kind from
the United States to any part of the
republic of MeXico-a policy suggest
ed by several interesting precedents
and certainly dictated by many mani
fest considerations Of practical expe-
diency. We cannot, under the cir
cumstances, be partisans of either
party of the contest that now dis
tracts Mexico or constitute ourselves
the virtual umpire between them"
Officials of the state department
have begun the preparation of a re-
ply, which will be delivered to Count
o Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor here. The complaint that neutral
countries had submitted to the intiu-
nee of the allies in connection with
the right to ship conditional contra
band and foodstuffs to the civilian
population of a ~belligerent has been
made before by Germany in her diplo-
matte notes.
1t is understood that the reply to
the present complaint will deny vigor,
Ously that this government has &C.
guessed in any way to the order in
council and probably will refer to the
last note sen by the United States to
Great Britain, arguing at length its
opposition to the viewpoint of the al.
lies on the blockade question.

government DiscontinueS Efforts to
Make Stream NavigabIe.
The Red river, once a large high
way OF commerce, has been abandon
ed by the federal government as a
n~avigable stream, SO far as continued
maintenance of work thereon is con-
cerned.
Captain j. F. Hayes, in charge OF
the government dredging fleet at
Grand Forks twenty-three years, has
gone to Grand Rapids, Mimi, and will
take charge of the work the govern
ment is doing on the upper MISSISSIPPI
pi.
The failure of congress to continue
the support of the Red river dredging
work is responsible for the steps that
have been taken by the army engi-
neering corps in sending Captain
Hayes to the Mississippi river enter
prise. The big government equipment
on the Red river will be locked and
stored.
The Red River Of the North, on
which there has been no navigation
for several years because Of a low
stage of water, was once an avenue
for a great deal of commerce. Boats
piled between Moorhead, or George
town, Mimi, and Fort Gary, now Win
nipeg, for many years. At present
there is no transportation on the river
south of Winnipeg.

ONE DEAD In PRAIRIE FIRE
Four Counties Suffer Losses Aggregat-
ing $4,000.


One dead, two probably fatally
burned and property losses aggregat-
ing S110, 900 comprise the toll taken
by prairie fires in four counties.
Morton county with a loss of $780,
900, Ward with a loss Of $4,000, Nc
Henry with a loss of $4,000 and

Steele county's fire resulted in one
death and two seriously burned. The
injured, Hugh Armstrong and Allen
Thompson, now in Bismarck hospitals,
are in a serious condition.
A gale that ranged from thirty to
forty-two miles an hour drove the
fires over a vast territory. Those in
Morton county are setimated to have
covered $50 square miles, with partic-
ularly heavy losses to stock growers.
McHenry county'S fires, spreading
over a territory twenty-five miles long
and eight to twelve miles wide, dis
possessed many farmers of their
homes. Granaries and thousands OF
tons of hay were destroyed.
The Steele county fire burned over
100 square miles, burning several
small farm buildings. The Ward
county blaze was confined principally
to the district near Sawyer.
Around Denhoff, Mclean county, an
other fire started, but active work by
