IN NORTH DAKOTA
News Of the Week From Many
Sections Of the State.
PREPARING FOR EXPOSITION
Agricultural Displays at Bismarck
Will Be Statewide and in
Abundance.

The work and preparation for the
coming agricultural exhibition at Bis
marck, which dates are set for Oct.
4 to 16, both inclusive, is we'll under
way and it is safe at this time to say
that the agricultural exhibits will be
statewide and in abundance.
A great deal Of time and travel
throughout the state is bringing the
desired results and the interest mani
tested by the better farmers of North
Dakota is such that the exposition
this year will deserve the liberal sup
port and attendance of all in the
state interested in agriculture and its
allied interests. Already a large num-
Der of counties in the state are busily
engaged in accommodating an exhibit
that will exceed all past attempts in
this line. The crops being very
abundant and the weather favorable
for the harvest all go to make the
farmers liberal in their exhibits for
county use, as we'll as the hundreds
of individual exhibits which have al
ready been promised from individual
farms.
An extensive educational program
is being arranged by the association
and will include among the attrac-
tons a very pleasing and high class
vaudeville entertainment, both after
noon and evening. There will also
be a large number of prominent ag-
ricultural speakers, not alone from
our own state, but from adjoining
states, who will bring with them mes
sages of vital interest to our people.
The management has already arrang-
ed for the use of an extensive line
Of moving picture films, which will
bring to us the wonderful progress
being made in the large number of
industrial lines throughout the Unit
ed States. There will also be an I'M
limited supply of music, including
both indoor and outdoor concerts.

BURNS NEGRO AT STAKE
Texas Mob Applies Torch to Body Of
Victims Brother.

Sulphur Springs, Tex, Aug. 30
Revenge for the Staying OF a deputy
sheriff and the fatal Wounding of
Sheriff j. P. Butler was taken by a
mob here, when King Richmond, a
negro, seriously wounded, and the
body Of his brother, Joe, killed in a
fight with a posse, were burned at
the stake in Buford park.
The negroes, resisting arrest, had
shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Nathan
A. Flippen and inflicted wounds on
Sheriff Butler which physicians said
would cost him his life.
News of the affair between the ne
groes and the officers spread rapidly
throughout the country and several
hundred armed men were soon search
ing for the negroes. They were dis
covered in a thicket.
A battle followed and Joe Richmond
was killed and King Richmond seri-
ously wounded. None of the posse
was wounded.

REPORT DENOUNCES
The ROCKEFELLER;

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Responsibility
for the strike of coal miners in Colo
RADIO in 1913 and 1914, and for the dis
order and suffering that followed, is
placed squarely on the shoulders Of
operators in a report by George P.
West, made public by the commission
on industrial relations.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany, controlled by John d. Rookie
Teller, is declared to have been the
leader in formulating and carrying
out strike policies. Mr.. Rockefeller
and his son., John D. Rockefeller, Jr..
are charged, first, with the selection
of incompetent and rea%ctionary agents
to serve as executive officials in this
company, and, second, with giving
their heartiest endorsement and sup
port to those officials after they had
taken action that precipitated the
worst of the troubles.

$4,000 Miners ARE
IN WELSH WALK0UT

London, Aug. 2S.-Nearly $4,000
miners have struck in the South
Wales coal fields, according to a dis
patch from Newport, Wales, to the
Exchange Telegraph company.
The recurrence of labor troubles is
due to growing dissatisfaction with
the award OF Walter Runciman, presi-
dent of the board OF trade, who acted
as arbitrator in the recent strike. The
situation was strained further when
the colliers learned that Mr.. Runci-
man had declined to see a deputation
representing them.
The miners charge Mr.. Runciman
with going behind the arrangement
made by David Lloyd-George and de-
maad that Mr.. Lloyd-George make
good his promises to them.
Mr.. Runcimau's award contained
wage concessions but rejected q num-
Der Of demands relating to working
conditions. hours of labor and arbi-
tratiOn arrangements.

Berlin, Aug. 2S.-The Russian for

thirty miles south Of Kovno, has been
evacuated. Official announcement to
this effect was made here.
In all the wide sweep of Russian
territory south of the Baltic provinces
which has been covered during the
great Austro-German offensive move
ment the fortress of Grodno is the
only strongly defended position re-
naming in the hands Of the Russians.
Olita was on the principal Russian
line of defense, midway between Kov-
no, already in the hands Of the Ger
mans, and Grodno. 1t is about fifty
miles southwest Of the important rail
road center of Wilma, which is on the
direct trunk line to Petrograd.
Olita is the ninth important for,
tress to fall before the invaders in
the past three weeks.

HUNTERS MUST OBEY LAW
Wardens lnstructed to Enforce Shoot
ing Regulations.

Hunting in North Dakota this year
will be carried on in strict accordance
with the new game laws, according to
Joe Purcell, secretary of the state
game board. The board sent out it's
instructions to the wardens owe the
state some time ago.
These instructions are being en-
forced as indicated by the fact that
already a number of %"sooners' who
couldn't wait until Sept. Z, when the
season opens, have been made to
pay expensive fines.
Nimrods are going to find a num-
Der of changes in the new law that
may moi prove SO handy as the pro-
visions under the old law. One of
these changes is that if a hunter loses
his license he cannot get a duplicate.
He will have to pay his dollar and
get a new me-. Heretofore, when a
hunter lost a license, all he had to
do was to go to the county auditor
and get a duplicate without cost.
Another vital change is that a man
hunting or carrying birds will have
to have his license with him or he
will be subject to arrest. Leaving the
license at home won't help matters
any as he must have it at hand for
the game warden's inspection.
Aliens are debarred entirely, as
they are not allowed to carry fire
arms in this state under the new laws.

ADVANCE INTO OLD RUSSIA
German Invaders Continue to Make
Rapid Proqress.

London, Aug. 2S.-The Austro-Ger-
man invaders have not only pressed
their opponent into old Russia, be-
yond the political borders OF ancient
Poland, but have penetrated we'll be-
yond the district Of Russia proper in
habited by the Poles.
This enormous advance has reach
ed a state in which the troops of EN-
peror Nicholas are fighting for exist
ence on the soil of White Russia,
which for the first time during this
war is feeling the effects of invasion.
The main object of the German at
tack around Brest-Litovsk for days
has been the railroad running east
ward from the fortress toward Mos
COW. This line, with a branch run
ming in a southeasterly direction, pro-
vided the means for Russian evacua-
ton of the fortress. The Austro-Ger-
mar advance against this railroad has
been so slow that it is believed here
the evacuation was accomplished
successfully before the fortress sur
rendered.
Servia's reply to the note of the
quadruple entente, which has not
been made public, although reported
to have been delivered, evidently is
awaited by the other Balkan states
before they take further action.
Doubts are being cast on the accuracy
of the report that a Turco-Bulgarian
agreement had been signed.

GERMANY
PROMISES
DAMAGES
To Make Reparation
in Arabic Case.

STILL AWAITS DETAILS

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Count Won
Bernstortf, the German Ambassador,
acting on instructions FROM Berlin, n 10
sified Secretary Lansing that full
satisfaction" will be given to the Unit
ed States for the sinking of the White
Star liner Arabic.
The ambassador explained that
Germany will make more than a mere
disavowal if it is found the Arabic
was sunk without warning.
Count Won Bernstorff called at the
state department and conferred with
Secretary Lansing nearly half an
hour.
1t had been suggested that perhaps
Germany is ready also to make repa-
ration for the Americans lost on the
Lusitania, but that subject did not
come up at the conference. The dis
position of the Germany embassy is to
take up one step at a time.
The ambassador did not make pub
lie the extent of the instructions from
Berlin o. which he acted, but it was
understood they conceded entirely
with the statement of the German
chancellor in dispatches from Berlin
expressing the willingness of the Ger
man government to make fullest repa-
ration if it is shown finally that the
Arabic was torpedoed without warn
ing. SO far the German admiralty
has received no report from its sub
marines which we're operating in the
Arabic vicinity.
Case in Realm of Diplomacy.
Further communications are ey-
pected from Berlin to the German am
bassador and to the state department
from Ambassador Gerard which will
advance the negotiations to a point
where attacks on passenger carrying
ships will be definitely discontinued,
at least while the subject is under
further discussion. The crisis be-
tween the two countries is regarded
as having passed into the realm of
diplomacy.
The German ambassador frankly
stated, after his interview with Mr..
Lansing, that his instructions embody
the declaration by the Berlin govern
ment that it will give full satisfac-
ton to the American government.
That, he declared, means much more
chan a disavowal. OF course. he said,
che giving Of satisfaction will depend
mpon the circumstances of the attack
nn the Arabic.
The German government did not
know yet, he said, whether the Ara
bic was sunk by a German submarine,
and without warning, but if investiga-
ton proves that to have been the
case Germany will make full repara-
ton.
The ambassador said he believes
the negotiations over the Arabic will
be followed by negotiations over the
Gusitania, in view Of the official state
ment in Berlin that a submarine pol
icy satisfactory to the United States
Will be announced.
