trouble about these here table is that they

ENGLAND WON'T
YIELD TO REQUEST
WILL NOT PERMIT DAClA TO
PROCEED TO ROTTERDAM UN-
DER SAFE CONDUCT

Washington, Jan. 19.-The british
government will not consent to allow
the steamer Dacia, recently trans
ferred from German to American reg
istery, to proceed to Rotterdam, under
safe conduct, with her cargo Of cot
ton. London so notified the state de-
partment today.
The British reply to the suggestions
for safe conduct, recently made Dy
the state department, came through
the American embassy in London.
While the text of the message is with
held, it is known the British objection
is based broadly on the reluctance to
create precedent, which, it is felt,
would be followed by many similar
purchases of German ships in Amer
lea, and efforts to operate them on
former German trade routes.
The British note does not under
take to assert the right of Great Brl-
tain to interfere with the ships pur-
chased and transferred to the Amerl-
can flag in a legitimate way. It is
said that in this instance the British
believe the purchase was not genuine.

GRANDFATHER
SPENDS AS MUCH TIME AS POS
sIBLE WITH GRANDSON, BORN
YESTERDAY

Washington, Jan. 18.-President

at his executive Offices later than US
ual today, because of his desire to
stay as long as possible with his small
grandson, the child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis B. Sayre, who was born at

A large heap Of rattles was sent by

the horses and men said the animals
had been stolen from man by the
name of Cravath last Friday. He
took the men and horses back there
yesterday. The men had three horses
with them but left a bay at the Heth-
erington place. The two mares had
been newly branded after arriving
here.
Leppel had every appearance of be-
ing bad man and as proof that he
had been in several shooting scrapes
he had fine bullet holes in his body
two of them in his right arm. The
chances are if he had had half
chance when arrested there would
have been some shooting before he
could have been taken. Leppel put up
good story about his having the
horses. He said they belonged to his
brother. who had lived near Wolf
Point. His brother had been in the
insane asylum and had broken out 60
ing to Bonners Ferry, Montana. While
there he got into a shooting scrape
where he killed three men and was
later shot and killed by farmer. As
the brother owned several accounts
Leppel said he took the horses west
to escape a levy and later brought
them back and down here. Calder
said he met Leppel at Wolf Point and
he had the horses with him when he
came there. That Leppel had hired
him to come down with him and as
sist him in getting them east for sale.
According to Sheriff Arkle however
these horses were stolen near Sidney
and had never been west. The team
they offered for sale was easily worth
$500 and they would weight 1900 each
and were in good shape.

LARGE GUNS ON
WAY TO RUSSIA
SEVERAL LARGE CANNON PASS
THROUGH MINOT ON WAY TO
RUSSIA FROM PA. g

Minot, N. d., Jan. 18.-That the
European war is not so far from the
magic city was evident when train
load of cannon and war supplies pass
ed through the city, headed for Rus
sia. The guns, some of which ap-
peared to be about hundred feet
long, will be taken to Vancouver
thence by boat to the Siberian coast
and over the Siberian railroad to Po'
land, where the Russians are using
every effort to stem the advance OF
the Germans. :.
It is stated that the giant guns will
be used in an effort to batter dowr
the defense of the fortress of Prez'
mysl, which has proved thorn in the
side of the forces of the cZar.
Attack after attack on the almost
impregnable Teuton stronghold has
been successfully hurled back by the
soldiers of Emperor William and EN-
peror Franz Joseph.
With their equipment the three guns
made up a special train of nineteen
cars. Each of the gun barrels oc-
cupied an entire car and many curious

chimes of war from the viaduct and
other points of vantage as they pass
ed through.
One car was also used for the steel
base, known as the "turntable," for
each gun. The remaining cars were
loaded with huge boxes Of wheels and
other machinery to be used in setting
up an operating the cannon.
The train was billed only to Portal,
N. D., where it was turned over to the
Canadian Pacific railroad. sent on its
way to Vancouver, B. c., from whence
it will be shipped by ocean steamer
to make connections with the Trans
Siberian railway.
The cannon are the product Of the
Bethlehem Steel Co., of Bethlehem,
Pa, and the train passed through
Minneapolis on the same day that j.
P. Morgan & Co., announced in New
York loan of S12,O0O,000 to Russia
to pay for war supplies purchased in
the United States. . .......
A number of trainloads of big guns
have passed through the magic city
during the past few weeks over the
500 railroad bound for western points.

HORSE SELLERS
WERE ARRESTED
YOUNG MEN ARRESTED CHARG-
ED WITH BREAKING LAWS
SUSPECTED OF RUSTLING

Two young men, August Leppel and
Arthur Calder were arrested Monday
evening on the charge Of violating the
inspection laws by bringing horses
into this state from Montana without
having them inspected. Lapel waiv-
ed hearing and was bound over to
district court. Calder was to have
had hearing next Monday. a..
These young men were in the city
Monday trying to sell two fine large
Percheron mares. They had them in
the Wegley barn and while there some
one suggested that U. L. Burdick had
a horse ranch and might buy them.
He was called up and made date to
meet the men at his Office at five
thirty. After talking to them for a
short time he asked them if they were
endeavoring to sell him stolen horses
but they claimed not. They then went
down to the barn to look at the ami
mails and as soon as Mr.. Burdick saw
them and heard the price they were
willing to take he concluded the horses
had been stolen. Lapel said they
would take $275 in cash if they could
sell right away as they wanted to
leave. Burdick said he might be able
to make the deal and told them to
meet him at the office after supper.
He then proceeded to notify States
Attorney Owens and he furnished
Sheriff Erickson with a warrant for
the arrest of the two men. After sup
per Mr.. Burdick went to his office and
the men were waiting and followed
him in. He stalled around for quite
a while making out bill of sale, etc.,
until Erickson arrived. After he got
there Burdick told him that if he had
any business with the men he had bet
ter get busy. Burdick had noticed
while at the barn that Leppel was car
rying gun so before speaking to the
sheriff he worked around close. to him
and as he spoke Leppel reached for
his gun but Burdick grabbed him by
the throat and wrist while Erickson
covered him with an automatic. He,
was then disarmed and they also took
a gun away from Calder who appear
ed to be harmless. The two were then
taken to Jail.
Tuesday States Attorney Owens had
a talk with Sheriff Arkle of Sidney
and he said he thought these men
were wanted there. He came down
Tuesday night and after looking at

EXTRA ROOMS NEEDED

The Elks committee on accomoda-

be the guests of the city as well as OF
the local lodge. Anyone therefore
having any room to spare in their
home would assist greatly if they call

encs in provincial owned terminals
convinces the board that such project
was q failure. Conditions which lead
up to the establishment Of Manitoba's
terminals were entirely different from
those prevailing in North Dakota,
There was a lack Of rail facilities, of
storage, and heavy losses had been
sustained because Of these facts.
Manitoba purchased 14O country
elevators and built thirty more at q
cost Of $1,0OO,O0O. The first years
business resulted in loss of $50, 900
and a second year resulted in a loss
of $50, 900, after which Manitoba leas-
ed a system of elevators to . CO.
operative company. The first year Of
operation by the cooperative system
resulted in a $4,000 loss and last year
it made $4,700.
In Saskatchewan cooperative
company operates the elevators back
ed by government aid. Alberta, with
the experience of Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan before it, adopted the Sas-
katchewan plan.
Getting Higher Prices
The object sought in the establish
ment of state owned eleatorv is that
Of higher prices for grain. The board
found nothing to indicate that such
higher price could be obtained, as
millers will not pay a premium for
North Dakota wheat in terminals.
The operation of state cleaning
department, permitting the sale of the
grain fully cleaned, is not regarded
as being feasible as the cost of such
cleaning operation at the terminals
would not balance the cost of trans
portation of the dirt in the grain. The
only place for the cleaning Of the
grain to effect saving is on the farm.
