LIGHTNING SETS FIRE TO BARN

Rugby, N. D., Aug. 22-During a
big electric storm the big barn on the
Filing Ellingson farm, a short dis
lance north of the city, was struck by
a bolt of lightning and set on fire,
resulting in total loss of the building
together with lot of hay and feed,
harness, and a lot of other goods
which they were unable to get out of
the way. The horses were in the
barn when the bolt set fire to it, but
fortunately the men were at the house
and able to get them out with the
exception of one animal, which was
destroyed in the flames, and another
one which was badly injured. The
amount of insurance on the barn it is
reported being in the neighborhood of
$1,700, which will 60 toward the con-
struction of a new barn quite ma

THINKS HE is WANTED
ON OLD MURDER CHARGE

Devils Lake, Aug. 21.-A man NAM
ed Chas. Nelson, who it is believed be-
longs in Grand Forks county, was
brought to Devils Lake from Bartlett
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Elliott
and Chief Timboe. He will be arraign-
ed before the insanity commission.
Nelson labors under the impression
that he IS charged with the murder of
a man named Joe Ryan at Brainerd,
Mimi, 20 years ago. He believes that
he is being hunted but he continually
says that he did not commit the crime.
Whether such crime was ever COM
mitted and whether Nelson ever resid-
ed at Brainerd are questions which
have not been determined.

GERMANS LOST HEAVILY
IN GULF OF RIGA FIGHT
Continued from Page ~

Riga which was continual menace in
Won Hindenberg's rear.
This, the military observers say,
led to the shifting of number of
German ships, including the Moltke,
from the North sea to the Baltic with
the purpose of controlling Riga and
thus preparing German land ad-
vance on Petrograd. The result of
the naval battle as cleaned from the
official report appears definitely de-
feat of the German objective, accord

aside from the loss of the ship, the

BALD EAGLE CAPTURED
IN MlNOT COUNTY

Minot, Aug. 22.-F. J. Prochaska, of
this city, while out with an automobile
party caught young bald eagle about
20 miles east of the city. The bird,
which is now in the city, is about five
or six weeks old. but measures SO in
ches from tip of wing to tip of wing.
Il is both lively and vicious and the
captcr has number OF pieces of cpl
derrr 5 missing As proof of the latter.
The bird was caught in the weeds
by the roadside 1t was evidently out
OF Its element, as it could find no tree
in which to rest and was forced to
light on the ground. The weeds pre-
vented it from flying and Mr.. Prochas-
ka, using his hat for a net, soon
caught up with the emblem of Ameri-
can liberty and had him captive.
1t is thought that the recent forest
fires in Michigan drove the bird from
its nest and that it had been flying by
slow stages toward the west on &C.
count of the prevailing winds of the
last few days.

VALLEY CITY BOYS
IN AER0PLANE FLIGHT

Those who happened to be on the
road just south of the baseball grounds
Tuesday evening had the pleasure of
witnessing rather spectacular fight
of the DuVall-Larson biplane glider.
The machine was lowed by an auto
mobile and rose from the ground like
a huge box kite to the height of about
30 feet. Owing to more curve on one
of the planes the glider rose faster
on one end than the other, causing it
to veer to one side and crash to the
ground. The occupant, Roy Larson,
luckily was none the worse from the
fall, saying as he crawled from under
the machine, "say, fellows, it's pretty
swell riding in the air-no bumps
there" ~.
The machine was considerably dam
aged, but the boys don't worry much
about such mishaps. They expect to
fix it up with few improvements
that will preclude another similar ac-
cident.
The glider was built by Arthur Du-
Vail and Roy Larson, it has a 2O-foot
spread and 1870 square feet of plane
surface. It has no engine, but flies off
hill against breeze or as a kite.

PEOPLE HURRY WHEN THERE
is A CHANCE FOR A RIDE

Farm and Fireside, the national
fram paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, has been offering prizes for the
best letters, showing the use that far
mers are making of automobiles. In
the current issue the prize winning
letters are published. J. r. Richard
of Scott county, Indiana, contributes
an interesting letter, an extract from
which follows:
I'VE have seen miles of country,
and towns twenty, thirty, and forty
miles from home that we would most
likely never have seen had it not been
for the automobile. We nearly alwa<s
take some of our friends with us,
which makes 1t more pleasant. Just
mention to some friends who do not
own q motor car that you would like to
take them out for ride, and see how
quick they can be ready to 60.

KERNELS TO THE HEAD

Grand Forks, Aug. 21.-George
udenby, of Marvel, county commits
sioner, was exhibiting an unusual
specimen of wheat which he secured
from the farm of George Gagon, of Ant

years, but never before have l seen

GERMANS TAKE
MANY RUSSIANS

NAM kUDDlAND
( London, Aug. 20.-While on her way
to the Baltic to help the Russians, the
! British submarine E-13, was grounded
on the Danish island of Saltholm in
the sound, according to admiralty
report. An official Berlin statement
says that the underwater boat was
destroyed at the southern outlet on
the sound. Fifteen members of the
crew of the E-13 are missing.
Berlin, Aug. 20.-An official state
ment given out today by German army
headquarters. says $4,000 Russians, in
Guiding six generals, were taken pris-
oners in the fall of Novogeorgiesk and
that the number of cannon taken was
increased to more than 700.
London, Aug. 20-The garrison OF
the fortress of Novogeorgievsk, which
was left behind by Grand Duke
Nicholas when he commenced the
evacuation of Poland to delay the
advance of the German invaders, after
accomplishing its task for just fort
night, has succumbed to the heavy
siege artillery of the Germans which
throughout the war was made every
fort attacked by it uatenable.
Berlin was able today 10 an
nounce the capture Of the fortress
with it's 700 guns and large guam
tity of war materials. The stores have
not been estimated but are probably
large. 1t is now expected by military
observers that other Russian fort
resses such as Brest-Letovsk and
Ossowetz either will be cautured or
given up. After the fall of Kovno,
Field Marshal Won Hindeberg's army
commenced again an offensive on the
whole front from the Gulf of Riga to
Kovno with the object of taking Riga
and the whole Warsaw-Petrograd
railway from Wilma northward
Other armies have cleared the whole
of the left bank of the Bug, before
Brest-Litovsk, while Field Marshal
Won Mackensen having crossed the
Bug, is advancing from the south on
the fortress.
This means that the obstacle of the
marches has been circumvented and
the Brest-Litovsk, the chief military
depot and concentration point of the
Russian army, is virtually enveloped.
Although military observers are of
the opinion that Grand Duke Nicholas
probably again will be able to with
draw his army in safety, nevertheless
the loss of these lines is considered a
graver military misfortune than the
loss of Warsaw.
German success has been due almost
entirely to the superiority of their
artillery and military critics except
that as long as they maintain this and
continue to press forward, the Rus
slams must retire before them. Along
the western front there has been some
spurts of liveliness in the fighting but
nothing that could be called battle.
The small British steamer Dittern
has been sunk by German subma-
rine. The crew was saved. A dis
patch to Reuters Telegram company
from Haugesund, Norway, says the
Norwegian steamer Dras, a vessel of
1851 tons, has been sunk. The crew
was saved

these are augmented by the huge ball

the whole Christmas atmosphere Is
complete. Another appropriate place
ment is the funny snow man with his
black stovepipe hat and beady eyes.

there are green baskets with holly
