North Dakota Movies
at the Big Corn Show

Bismarck, Sept. 16.-The bumper
harvest movies taken by the North
Dakota agricultural association will be
featured at the first national corn
show, st. Paul, Dec. 1-31. -
These movies will first be shown
at the exposition Of the association
held at Bismarck, Oct. 4-16, inclus-
i've. They show convincing proof of
North Dakota's record breaking crop.
Fields of corn over Is feet high refute
the charge that the corn crop has been
destroyed by frost. Other interesting
scenes are a field showing two trac.
ton engines pulling seven binders
each and views showing blooded stock
in North Dakota, demonstrating how
diversified farming is taking the place
Of one-line farming.
Much interest is being taken in the
first national show by citizens of
North Dakota. The state agricultural
associat ton has received so many in
quiries regarding it that they have
decided to exhibit the 128 premium
cups, valued at $4,000, during the en-
tire two weeks of the exposition at
Bismarck.

Transient Loses
Leg at Sanborn

Martin Mittwer, a transient, had the
misfortune to lose the lower part of
one of his legs Thursday morning
when he slipped and fell under a train
at Sanborn. He was getting off a
freight on the main line when the &C.
cident happened. His intentions were
to go up the branch north of Sanborn
and work at threshing He had been
working in South Dakota and was max.
ing his way on freight trains. The un-
fortunate man was brought to Valley
City and taken to the Riverside hospi-
tai where Doctors Hunt and thinner
man amputated the limb just below
the knee. At the present time he is
resting easily, and will probably come
through all right. Mittwer stated that
he had father and sister living at
Kimball Prairie, MINI. He is clean
looking young man about "a years old,
and it is greatly deplored that he
should meet with such an accident at
this time of his life.

Darlington Man Was Held Up

Carring ton, Sept. 16.-Early Sunday
evening, J. c.. Dawson, a carpenter
who has been here for the past six
weeks, was held up at the point of a
gun in the N. P. yards, just south of
the light plant, and he thinks the rob-
bers got about $14, he not being sure
of the exact sum he had to fork over.
Dawson says there were five in the
holdup party, and with his description
of the men Sheriff Morgan succeeded
in capturing two men whom Dawson
says were among his assailants. The
two men captured, giving the names
of Frank Murrell and Harry Ray, were
given a preliminary hearing Monday
and bound over to the district court,
on charge of robbery. Their bonds
were fixed at $1,000 each in default Of
which they are being held at the
county jail.

Think Man Held at Minot
Is Wanted Holdup Artist

Minot, Sept. 15.-R G. Young was
run in the police last night as a vag,
but he is one of the men implicated in
number of holdups about this part
of the state, according to the local Of
ficials. The charge of vagrancy against
him will be used to keep him in Jail for
30 days at least, and if necessary,
another charge of like nature will be
lodged against him at the expiration
of that time, so as to hold him until
the one witness necessary to give him
good stiff term in the pen is To-
Gated. His description is identically
that of the man who has been wanted
for several days and other evidence
which is in the possession of the local
official is sufficient to identify him
with the holdup for which he is
wanted.

Minot Mare Making
A Wonderful Record

Minot, Sept. 15,-Sayde Densmore
won the 2:20 pace on the Milwaukee
track of the Great Western circuit yes
terday in 2:07 IA. The purse was
$1,000. She did not race last week, but
this week maintained her remarkable
record Of winning every race. She has
lost but one first since she started at
Davenport on July 80. In that event
she took second money and was not
only the victim of a heavy track and a
strong wind, but also of unfair jock
eying by her opponents.
D. A. Dinnie, who owns the wonder
full mare, has never seen her in action.
He had planned to 60 to Milwaukee
to see her perform yesterday, but the
prosperity Of Minot in the building
line and the contracts he has for
some of the biggest improvements of
the year, made it impossible for him
to get away.
Don Densmore, the head of the fam
Gus Densmore family of horses of
this city, will race in the free-for-all at
Milwaukee Friday. He is barred from
all other entries because of his speed.
He is a favorite everywhere ne has

is RUSSIA TO GET
PORT OF KIAOCHOW
(By Burton X. Standish)

l. tWrlIten IOT Ine OHlIeu TTeSS)
Washington, March lois Russia
to get from Japan what Germany is
alleged to have stolen-diplomatically
from Russia, namely the port of
Kiaochow? Is Japan to make this re-
turn to Russia, her present ally, for
having taken Port Arthur?
! Representative w. D. B. Ainey of
Pennsylvania has. such an idea. He
recently returned from rather ex-
tensive trip through the Far East,
Siberia included. He is impressed
with the continued growth of Russia
and believes that nation will be least
hurt by the war.
at may be-" he says, "that the
weight of influence will slip away
from Europe, passing beyond the Ural
mountains, and find lodgment among
the peoples of Asia. Out of this war
Russia, with her great resources, is
likely to emerge least harmed of any
great power. Russia territorially is
largely Asiatic; ethnologically, she is
allied in large measure with the Ori-

at is interesting to recall that it
was Kiaochow, and not Port Arthur,
which was Russia's first love. It
was almost within her grasp. China
had leased Kiaochow to Russia with
it then the concession to build the
Trans-Siberian railroad through Man
churia; accompanying it there was an
undoubted purpose to build the Kali
gan railroad from Lake Baikal to
Peking. A straight line would take
this road to Kiaochow, thus giving
