CAvANAUCH-SOHM

Miss Ethel Cavanaugh and M. J.
Sohm were married at 10 a. M, Tues
day by Judge Fred Maser at the T.
N. Hartung home, where the young
lady had been staying since she en-
tered summer school here. The we'd
ding was quiet one, only immediate
friends being present. Following the
ceremony Mrs. Hartung served fine
wedding dinner.
The bride looked charming in a
blue silk dress. She is from Caring
ton, N. D., and has been here only a
short time. Her husbands parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Sohm, are old
timers in the city. Mr.. Sohm is en-
ployed in the Roquette Company
store, having come back to the city
this summer after an extended alb
sence.
The young couple, who are receiv-
ing congratulations from many
friends, will begin housekeeping in
the home Of the groom's parents in
the eastern part Of the city, as the
old folks plan on going on a visit
to st. Paul for the rest Of the sum-
mer.

tract comes from New York and prob
ably means that horses will be pur-
chased in western North Dakota and
Montana.
Mr.. Mark is heavy buyer and is
well known all through this country.
He was at Portland, Oregon, early in
the week and wired w. A. Northrop
that he was leaving for Dickinson, ex-
pecting to arrive here about the 9th.
The French buyers have had some
misunderstanding with horsemen and
it is understood, that they have with
drawn their date given for this point:
that he will hold an inspection at Bel
field on Sunday, September ~.
At Mandan the French inspectors
failed to show up on the 10th, the
day advertised, and the horses, some
60 head, were sold to Omaha buyers.

THE K|LLDEER BUILDERS
GET HOLLOW TILE HERE

The two first cars of hollow tile
brick manufactured at the North
Dakota Pressed Brick Co. works east
Of the city, were loaded and billed
out this week to Killdeer via Mandan.
These hollow bricks are to be used
in the new Reed Bros. store and the
Dunn County State bank in the new
town north, the bank structure being
on an opposite corner from the Reed
store. The brown glazed facing brick
are also being furnished by the North
Dakota Pressed Brick Co. for the
bank structure at Killdeer, while the
cream colored facing brick for the
Reed store are being shipped from
the Dickinson Fire & Pressed Brick
Co. works.
The grey, iron spotted facing brick
for the store part Of the Merchants
National bank structure in Dickinson
are also coming from the North Da-
kota Pressed Brick Co. yards east of
the city; likewise the hollow brick
used for inner walls.

THE RUST DAMAGE
MAY Be SERIOUS

The reports that have been coming
in the past week indicate that the
rust damage may prove much more
serious than had been supposed. In
fact, our people, as rule, know prac-
tically nothing about rust, the grain
in this part of the state not having
been seriously affected in previous
years.
A Minnesota gentleman, who has
been over this part of the state con-
siderable the past week, stated
Wednesday that in many localities
there was a great deal of rust and
that the farmers would find it out
when they came to thresh. His pre-
diction was that the country would
not harvest crop any larger than
last year.
Those who have had experience, say
that wheat affected with rust will not
ripen and the sooner the fields are cut
the better.

NEW COAL RATES
BAD FOR OUR COS,
LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE MADE
FOR WILTON WITH AN AT
TEMPT TO PUT STARK
co. COMPANIES OUT
OF BUSINESS.
Letter Shows Rate in Larger Cities
of State and Per Cent of Dis
elimination Against Mine
Concerns West of the
Missouri River.

Under the new Ignite coal rate ad-
vertised to become operative on Sep
tember A, it appears that a serious
discrimination has been made against
this growing industry in the western
part of the state. In fact, the new
rate is practically prohibitative,
meaning that the mine owners at
Dickinson, Zenith, Medora, Lehigh,
New Salem and Sims cannot come
into competition with the Wilton
mine at any point east Of the Mis-
souri, river
1t is hard to believe that our state
railroad board would knowingly be q
party to such an unjust schedule.
The matter is being taken up with
the railroad commissioners and also
with Gov. L. B. Hanna, to the end
that the proposed new tariff be re-
adjusted Immediately.
It should not be the function of the
state board to give the Wilton mine
monopoly of the coal business, fore
ing large concerns like the Dakota
Lignite Mines Co. and the Consoli-
dated Coal Co. to confne their trade
entirely to local territory. Last year
CIlc llISC HdHIcu COHlpdIly, WHICH has
it's headquarters at Dickinson, saved
the North Dakota board of control
$4,000 as against prices paid for
native coal in previous years.
Our local companies want tonnage,
in other words a chance to ship a por-
ton of their product into the markets
of the state east of the river.
When the Northern Pacific and the
500 railroads advanced their rates
awhile back they did it on an equit-
able basis, that is they did not dis
criminate against any mine or mines
or any particular section of the

The census returns are almost COM

state, with Bottineau and Pembina
counties yet to hear from. Counting
these two counties the same as in
1910, the population of the state
stands 1921, an increase of
54,235 over five years ago.
Fargo still retains the lead in popu-
lation, with Grand Forks second,
though it's showing is not as good
for the past five years as it has been
in past years. Possibly the census
enumerator was not as diligent at the
Forks as he was in Fargo. Minot
continues to hold third place, with
Bismarck still in the fourth.

MRS, GREGOR LANG
DIES; MANY YRS. At YULE

Mrs. Gregor Lang, highly re-
spected lady, died on August %, at
the home of her son, William G. Lang,
at Baker, Montana.
People familiar with the early his
tory Of Billings county will recall
that Gregor Lang came out from
Scotland in 1883 and settled at
Yule, postoffice point on the Little
Missouri river, about Is miles north
Of Marmarth. Mr.. Lang held the po-
sition of county commissioner for
some time. He returned to Scotland
on visit some years ago, where he
died very suddenly. Mrs. Lang has
always made her home with William
and for the past few years has re-
sided at Baker, where the son has a
large store and is also prominent in
bank. An only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gregor Lang married a gentle
man from Scotland and returned to
the native soil. Lincoln Lang, an in
ventor, has lived east for a good
many years, and at last reports was
making a success of his invention.

Chicken Season
Opens Sept. 9TH

T. N. Hartung, district game ward
en-, suggests that all parties who
want to take out licenses do so before
Saturday night, September4. Other
wise they may be unable to get
them as Sunday and Monday, Septem-
ber 5 and 6, are legal holidays.
Game Warden Hartung is right
after the "sooners." He had M.
Wagner from south Of Taylor before
Justice A. p. Folsom on Tuesday.
The man pleaded guilty to shooting
chickens out of season and paid $25
as fine and costs.
Mr.. Hartung returned Thursday
from long drive into Mckenzie
county and the probabilities are that
he will have other convictions very
soon. ...,

THEIR INDIAN PITCHER FROM
STANDING ROCK RESERVA-
TION VIA LEM MON
DROPPED GAME IN
LAST OF 9th.
No Runs on Either Side Until 7th
When Visitors Picked Up 2. Ex-
citing Finish When Gardner,
Pippins, Wasem and Rob-
insOn Were Making
Safe Hits.

Dickinson defeated New England
on the local diamond in a most inter-
esting game Sunday afternoon, the
score standing 3 to 2 in favor of the
local team. 1t was a big disappoint-
ment to New England as their boys
had laid their plans to cinch the rub
ber game and if reports are correct,
bet literally on the outcome. They
brought Felix Fly, an Indian pitcher,
in from the Standing Rock reserva-
ton to do the business and he came
mighty near delivering the goods.
He is a Carlysle man, who had been
tried out on league team and found
to have great speed and remarkable
hitting ability but lacking in fielding
qualities. He has played with Lem
mon and In many ways is wonder.
He is decidedly awkward, a poor base
runner but when it comes to batting
he is there against any kind of ball
pitched and usually it is or 3-bag-
ger, with the fielders scurrying to the
fence line. In addition to the Indian
pitcher, the visitors brought along
Wilson for the bench. Martin j.
Connolly, who has played many
good game on the Dickinson diamond,
came over from Slope county to
catch; and Borrison, the celebrated
1st baseman from Lennon was one
of the south players; also Bond of
Marmarth, who took the record last
year in the Northern league for
heavy hitting.
In the first inning the Indian struck
out but one man. Gardner came
back in the next frame with two
strikeouts and the Indian one. In the
3rd the Fly pitcher came to bat for
the first time and drove out .2-bag-
ger, but he was the only man to
reach a base and died on third. Just
to show, that he was hired to win the
game he struck out the first three
men up in this frame.
Connolly took his base on hit ball
in the 4th and tried to steal End base
but was caught by Wasem's long
throw. When. the Indian came up
again in the 9th inning it was an
other 2-bagger but as before he. was
left on 3rd. In the 9Th inning Con-
molly got his base on balls but it did

The decrease in the population of

DRY LAW HAS STING To It
SUPREME COURT DECISION

Holding that the prohibition amend
ment to the state constitution was
"a living. vital thing with a sting in
1t on and after Jan. l, 1915" and that
there is no dead wood in the new
law, the supreme court yesterday af-
firmed the judgment of the lower
court in the case of Louis Gherna,
convicted of selling intoxicating liquor
in violation of the new law.
In a comprehensive decision which
covers twenty-five typewriter pages.
the court holds that the amendment is
self executing and that it does not
depend upon legislative enactment for
it's effectiveness. As to the conten-
ton that the law is confiscatory, the
opinion states that it is no more so
than any other law revoking a license
or permit of the state, and that the
act was wholly within the lawful ex-
ercise of the states police powers re-

Thought in Switzerland.

Los ANGELES, Feb 13.-Matthew
Schmidt, arrested in New York as
one of the men believed to have
brought down from San Francisco the
dynamite used when the Times build
ing was blown up on October 1.
1910. According to the district attor-
ney's office he helped buy the dyna-
mite. The explosive was then be-
lieved to have been taken to Corte
MADEIRA, and afterwards secreted in a
room at San Francisco.
With ]. B. Mcnamara he is sup
posed to have been one of the men
aboard the launch which brought the
dynamite to Los Angeles. Evidence
was found later to prove that he was
in Los Angeles week before the
building was destroyed, but it was
never ascertained whether he was
here the night of the explosion. No
definite trace of Schmidt was had
until clews were found which led to
his arrest in New York tonight He
was reported at one time to be liv-
ing in Switzerland. He was a wood
worker in San Francisco.

BUTTE, Feb. 13.-Deputy Sheriff
Thomas MI nroe, a special mine guard,
shot last mig by Harry Robinson, died
late today. Because of the feeling pre-
vailing tonight over his death, Robin
son was spirited out of Butte and lodg-
ed in Jail in some nearby town, the
name of which was not divulged.
There is little likelihood of a revival
of the labor troubles of last year, ac-
cording to the authorities. The shoot
ing of Munroe, they say, was apparent
ly the elimination of bad blood between
the mine workers and the mine guards
There is no relaxation, however, in the
vigilance of guarding mines, where
