TUITION FOUND NEWSPAPERS
IN PACKET.

Two thousand dollars in currency,
shipped fro hte First National bank
of Grand Forks to the State Bank of
Antler, has disappeared, and secret
service men are endeavoring to locate
it.
Bank officials at Antler reported to
the First National Bank that when
they (the Antler bankers) opened the
package the following morning after
receiving it, there was nothing but
newspapers within,
This morning F. A. Rinkel, cashier
of the State Bank of Antler, refused
to make any comment. When uqes-
toned over the long distance telephone
he replied that he chad nothing for
publication"
During it's course from Grand Forks
to Antler, the package changed hands
several times. From the First Ma
tional bank it went to the local post
office receiving clerk and was then
given to the railroad mail clerk here.
At Rugby it was placed in charge of
another railroad mail clerk and went
to the clerk at Antler, where it was
given to the express clerk, who in turn
handed it over to the bank officials.
1t was received at the bank at night.
When inspected by secret service
officials the package gave evidence of
having been tampered with. The pa
per had peen scorched slightly and
the sealing wax had been melted.

CHARLTON ON

AMERICAN TELLS STORY OF
LIFE WITH WIFE BEFORE MUIR
DER,

Como, Italy, Oct. 20, via Paris
When the case of Porter Charlton, the
American, charged with numbering his
wife, was called today, Signor Cataneo
asked for a further postponement to
give Miceli Picardi, Charlton's chief
counsel, who is indisposed, further
time to study the case.
Baron siacca, the presiding Judge,
reserved decision on the motion and
began trial in parts of the case where
in defense is not necessary.
Postponement Refused.
Baron Sciacca later rendered a de-
cision refusing consent to postpone
mant for the trial, saying that he con-
sidered the presence Of Sig. Cataneo
of Charlton's counsel sufficient to pro-
tect the interests of the accused.
The Court thereupon Immediately
proceeded to interogate Charlton. The
prisoner spoke for about an hour, Civ
ing a complete account of his life from
the time he met Mary Scott, whom he
married and Of whose murder he is
accused, up to the time the crime was
committed.
Charlton spoke in Italian but owing
to the difficulty he experienced in
finding just the proper words with
which to express himself, the court
frequently helped him out: Z

.MASONS PLAN
GOOD WORK

Grand Forks, Oct. 20:-North Dako-
tens are noted for their charitable in
c;inations. For several years the
Scottish Rite Masons of Grand Forks
have been contemplating the organiza-
ton Of some charity in this city, and
receAt4y a committee was appointed
to repsrt the best method to adopt.
The members of this committee have
formulated a report recommending
the establishment of free children's
clinic, at which clinic all the needy and
deserving children of Grand Forks will
be be given medical attendance free of
charge.
Under this plan, it is expected that
a great many crippled children may be
cured of deformities, illness and ply
sical defects, so that when they reach
a state of grown manhood and woman
hood they will be able to take an act
i've part in the battles of life and stand
an even chance with their more for
tunate and healthier comrades.
About a dozen Grand Forks ply
sicians are members of the Scottish
Rite Masons, and all have volunteered
to donate their services to this move
lnent.

Ball lay on the side of the road in
a seni-conscious state all through the
night, and finally made his way to
the Spangler form.
The four men who beat up Ball and
spirited him away are said to have
committed the asst for the prrpose of
impressing upon their victim the fact
that the father of the girl whom the
lnkster man intended to marry was
not at all in accord with the plans.
John Swehla has been arrested ON

he invited Ball to the street from

TEN MEX|CANS PAY FOR
An ALLEGED COMPLETELY
IN ROBBERY WITH LIVES

Brownsville, Texas, Oct. 19.---Ten
Mexicans today paid with their lives
for alleged completely in last nights
wrecking of St. Louis, Brownsville
& Mexico Railway passenger train on
the outskirts of Brownsville, the kill
ing Of three Americans and wound
ing of four others. Peace officers said
tonight they had clues to other Mex
leans connected with the wreck. No
secret was made of the fact that more
would be killed if the civilian posses
catch them.
Pursuit Is Swift.
The wrecking Of the train and the
shooting Of passengers occurred at
Oimito, seven miles south of here.
The news was suickly carried to this
city, and civilian posses sent out in
pursuit of the bandits. The killing of
the Mexicans were all done by these
posses.
/. The first Mexican killed was an un-
identified young man, passenger on
1.-The wrecked train, who was accused of
revealing the hiding place of DR.. E. S.
Mccain, deputy health officer here,
who took refuge in the lavatory of the
car when the bandits began shooting.
Keep Killing Quiet.
Only the bare facts Of the killing OF
other Mexicans today were ohtainable,
as the posses were careful not to give
out details.
The second Mexican killed was al
legged to be partner" of the young
man on the train. The vague mean
ing of the word partner" was not
made clear. Four Mexicans were
hanged t otrees at various points and
four others were shot.
The most reliable information indi-
Gated that the shootings were on, or
very near the banks of the Rio Grande,
where the closest watch for Mexicans
was maintained for distance of 100
miles. 80 y
Cavalrymen Join.
Probably 1,500 cavallymen and in
fantrymen today joined in searching
for traces of the bandits for distance
of 80 miles up the American side Of
the river. Hundreds Of civilians, led
by deputies joined in this work. Gov
ernment and military authorities to-
day did not agree on whether any of
the bandits in the ROBBERY had crossed
from the Mexican side of the river.
Military experts believe the raid was
made from the American side.
Civil officers here were in most cases
powerless to prevent summary execu-
ton ef the Mexicans, for many of the
posses were composed mostly of men
who worked independently of civil or
military authorities.

The WEEV|L
MOVES RAPIDLY
COTTON-BOLL WEVIL ADVANCES
ABOUT 100 MILES INTO NEW
TERRITORY IN TWO WEEKS.

Under normal conditions the boil
weevl advances into new territory at
the rate of about so miles each year,
but during period of only two weeks
during the present season there was
an advance of about 100 miles. This
movement carried the insect into Geor-
'g.ia' for t he first time, and 25 counties
in that state became infested. Sever.
al counties in Florida have been infest-
ed for several years, but additional
ones ,1ecame infested ;:.ia::tee. {. " Sy the same
movement. Twenty additional coun-
ties in Alabama were also invaded.
All this spread took place between the
18th and the 31st Of August.
There are several conditions, accor:-
ing to the entomologists of the. depart
ment, which contributed to this urus-
ual dispersion. One of them was the
draught in Alabama and Mississippi,
which caused the plants to cease efuit-
| ing and deprived the weevels Of the
squares upon which they prefer to
feed. The more important condition:
however. was a series if very high
winds which began on August is and
blew continuously for several days to-
ward the northeast. The weevils were
thus carried much further than they
would have gone by natural fight Or
even by the aid Of ordinary wind.
The department has placed all ay-
ailable forces al work to assist the
farmers in the territory just become;
infested. Most of the cotton Is now
open and this.will allow an unusually
early picking so that the fall broods
of the weevil can be destroyed by up
roofing the plants or burning them
where necessary. The departrne It
strongly urges the burying Of this
plant wherever this can be done
promptly, as the humus thereby placed
in the soil is Of very great Importance.
The state agencies are cooperating
with the agents of the department,
and a very active effort will be amde
to reduce the number of weevils to the
extent that will allow an approximate
ly normal crop to be produced next
season.
Another feature of the boll-weevil
problem which is attracting considera-
b]ee attention is the damage that is
being done in Texas this season. There
is more or less the general impression
IN the eaatern part o. the cotton belt
that the ball weevil has died cur in the
State of Texas, but the Investigations
OF the department show tha the abund-
ancc Of the insect in that region de-
pends on the climatic conditions. Dur
ing the present season these conditions
have been extrmee!!y favorable with
the result that the insect has been
as abundant as at any time since +
Invaded the state. The lesson to be
drawn from this fact is that the plant
ers in the eastern part of the cotton
belt must make strenuous fight and
should realize that since the bool-
weevil has not died out either in Texas
or Mexico, it is not likely to do so in
any other region that may become IL
vaded. They should adjust the;, sys-
ten! of farming to the bool weevil con-
ditions without delay.
