One prisoner, Louis Olson, escaped

BIG TOWN LOT
SALE NEXT WEEK
BIG SALE TO BE HELD NEXT
WEDNESDAY AT GETTYSBURG,
MONTANA-SEE AID OR BILL

A large crowd is planning on at
tending the town lot sale at Gettys-
burg next Wednesday from Glendive,
from points in this state, points on
the Montana Eastern Railway and
from all points along the line of the
excursion. Many inqueries by mail
have been received for great dis
tances.
Mr.. Leonard, owner, the pioneer
land man of Eastern Montana, is
heavily interested in this vicinity and
the auction is but the beginning of a
big campaign to push the town. He
has already donated sites for school
and church.
The newspapers in the vicinity are
predicting: that every lot will be
bought and both the interest already
aroused and the growth, present CROP
ped acreage and total tillable acreage
of the territory tributary to the site
prove their statements conclusively.
The crops in the surrounding terri
tory are in fine shape and the farm
ers are assured of bumper harvest.
Auctioneer Baird of Aberdeen, S.
D., we'll known throughout the north
west, will conduct the sale.
A five per cent discount will be al
lowed for cash.
The excursion train will leave Will
liston at II A. NJ mountain time.
The success of Lambert also on the
New Rockford-Lewiston cutoff has
brought the people in the vicinity to
the conclusion that Gettysburg has
an assured future.

LYNCHERS SEND

GOVERNOR AND COBB COUNTY
OFFICIALS THREATENED
WITH DEATH

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 25.-Following
the publication Of the "inside story"
of the Frank lynching and with de-
velopments later in the day which
placed clews almost directly in the
hands of the authorities pointing to
several members of the vigilance
committee" Governor Harris and
most of the Cobb county officials were
deluged today with anonymous letters
threatening them with violent death
if they did not Immediately drop the
investigation.
Photos Barred From Mails
Washington, Aug. 25.-Reproduc-
tions of photographs of the body of
Leo. NJ. Frank, swinging as it was left
by his lynchers near Marietta, Ca,
will not be permitted by postal au-
thorities to pass through the mails.
One of the post cards seized by the
government conveys a threat to those
condemning the lynching and warning
them to stay out of Georgia. "Men
here are wearing oak leaves in their
hats to commemorate this hanging"
it was written.

N. Y. HARBOR
TO BE SHELLED
TWELVE INCH DEFENSE GUNS
TO BE TURNED LOOSE IN HAR-
BOR DEFENSE PRACTICE

New York, Aug. 25.-The northern
approach of New York harbor will be
swept by cannonade Thursday, from
the twelve-inch mortars at Fort Tot
ten, in test of gunners who would be
called upon to aid in repelling a pos
sible attack upon New York city in
case of war. The target, float twen-
ty by thirty feet, will be stationed
$4,000 yards off.
The vibration of the heavy firing
will be felt, it is estimated, within a
radius Of six miles and a general no.
tice was issued yesterday by the army
authorities at the fort to residents to
open their windows, remove pictures
from walls, put their china, glass and
porcelain on the floors and watch out
for falling plaster during the hours Of
fire. Although the cannonading will
be audible in Manhattan, it was said
that the vibration would not be felt
in that borough.

St. Louis, Aug. 21.-Nine persons
are known to have perished in the
flood that swept the east and southern
part of St. Louis and some of its su-
burbs yesterday.
Two persons are reported missing.
Nine bodies were found. one that of
white woman and eight negroes.
The missing are also negroes.
Five of the bodies were found in
the suburbs of Glendale, which ad-
ioins the citv on the southwest, and
four were found in the manufacturing
district in the southwestern part of
St. Louis, which is drained by the
Desperes river.
The white woman was Mrs. Annie
Wagner, 80 years old, whose body
was found under bed that was over
turned by the rush of water. The
flood waters receded rapidly today.
AS the waters went down, policemen,
fremen and national guardsmen
searched the houses for the missing.
BY far the greater part of St. Louis
was not affected by the storm, other
than by inconvenience the heavy
downpour caused.
The flood damage is limited on the
west side of the Mississippi river to
a long. narrow strip along the south
ern, through the southwestern and
along the western parts of the city.
Suburbs adjoining this section were
damaged, and residents of other su-
burbs were inconvenienced by the in
terruption of the suburban train SER
vice.

THE FAIR OPENS
NEXT WEDNESDAY
WILLIAMS COUNTY FAIR OPENS
WEDNESDAY SEPT. 1-PROM.
ISES TO EE BEST EVER

Wednesday next will be the OPEN
ing day of the Williams County Fair.
All the prospects are pleasing. The
weather man promises to do the right
thing by US. A great many entries
of stock and farm produce have al
ready been made. With the abundant
crops this year an excellent exhibition
is promised. The race program is an
unusually fine one. Abundant enter
tainment has been provided for. If
nothing unforeseen happens this will
be the greatest and best fair, from
every standpoint that the county has
ever seen.
The people of the county owe a
duty to this fair: Williams County
enterprise is responsible for it, but
only few shared directly in the
work of making the Fair what it is.
The Fair is a little institution, but it
brings benefit to the community in
which it is held. All the residents Of
the County share directly or indi-
rectly in that benefit. The few have
stood by the institution in it's strug-
Cling years, and the many have bene-
fitted. 1t is only fair that those Of
US who have not been called upon to
guarantee the financial end Of the
Fair should aid in making that burden
as light as possible. If all the people
of the County who can do so were to
attend the Fair every day, the total
attendance would measure up very
creditably without counting the
crowds from the outside at all. Let
there be a generous attitude on the
part of the people of the County to
this, the greatest gathering of the
year.
