EARTH SHOCKS ARE
FELT LONG DISTANCE
Believed to Have Originated in
Mountain Fault.

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. "A
series of earthquakes, believed to
have originated in the "Wasatch
fault" underlying the Wasatch
mountains in Utah, was experienced
yesterday, eliminating in severe
shocks at 1886 p. m. that were felt
in Utah, Nevada, the northern part
of California, Oregon and Idaho. So
violent were the tremors in Nevada
that railroad water tanks along the
Southern Pacific were thrown down
and various other minor damage was
caused.
At Baker, Ore, and at Sacramento
and Fresno, CAL, buildings swayed
and residents rushed into the streets,
many in their night clothes. The
disturbances reached as far north as

LOCAL RIFLE TEAM
SIT LOSE TO Fl. DODGE
Fort Dodge Wins by Thirteen Points
Both Teams Possess Crack
Marksmen.

Sunday the rifle team of Com
pany C, comprising ten mem bers
were invited to Fort Dodge for g
shooting match with the rifle team
of Company G of that place. Upon
arriving there they were immediate.
| ly taken out to the rifle range of the
Fort Dodge company for an all days
shoot. The match was won at the
end Of the day by the Fort Dodge
team with 10 points, although the
score made by either team would
have won the state meet some weeks
ago.
The crack rifle men of both COM
panies were Lieut.. Hans Fredrick-
son, of Company G, and Private
George Brown of Company c, who
were easily the two features of the
days shooting. Lieut.. Fredrickson
proved himself to be the high man
of both teams with a total score of
231 out of a possible ESQ. He was
closely seconded by George Brown Of
Company C with a total score Of 229
out of a possible $50 points. The
total scores of Company G for the
days shoot was 2141; that of Com
pany C was 212S.
Up to the last range shot, the two
teams were almost even but in that
range the 10 points were gained,
Company C falling down a little at
the last. Both officers, Capt. Fred
Frost and Lieut.. Hans Fredrickson
of Company G, are on their rifle team
and shot with their men.
At noon a light lunch was served
out in the field and at the close OF
the days shooting events, the rifle
team of Company c was brought
back to the armory by their hosts
and royalty treated to a fine six
o'clock supper. The day was fully
enjoyed by both hosts and guests and
plans made for a continuation OF
these invitation shoots.
COMPANIES F and G of Fl. Dodge
are Just now on an uneasy seat in
regard to a military home, the bust
ness affairs of the armory of Fort
Dodge being decidedly in a tangle
md the possibility Of losing the
building stares the two companies in
he face. With the armory taken
rom them, the government will re-
move their equipment, which is
worth several thousand dollars.

MINERS ARE FORMING MODS

Phoeniz, Ariz., Oct. 4.-The Ari-
iona militia was ordered yesterday
to proceed to Clifton, Ariz., where
the mine strike has resulted in dis
order. Sheriff J. J. McCcsh report
ed the situation beyond his control.
Mine managers who went to Lords
burg, N. M, Saturday, after they
were rescued from miners by a
sheriff's posse, telegraphed to Gov
ernor George w. P. Hunt of Arizona
to protect lives and property"
Adj. Gen. c. w. Harris and an
expeditionary force of state militia
men are en- route to Clifton, Ariz.,
where copper miners are on strike.
Unless order is restored at once
there, it was said, the entire Ari-
iona militia will be ordered to the
strike district today.
In asking Governor Hunt to as
sumo charge of the situation, Sheriff
Cash said managers of the copper
mines had abandoned the district;
that the strikers were forming in
mobs, parading the streets and max
ing demonstrations and that he fear
ed serious trouble would result.
The governor received another
telegram from Norman Carmichael,
]. w. Benny and John McLain, man
ayers of three large copper compan-
les, who fed from Clifton last night
to Lordsburg, N. M. The managers
said they fed as they feared their
presence at Clifton might lead to vi
olence. The three managers said
they would be ready to return as
soon as given assurances that non
resident organizers Of the Western
Federation of Miners had left and
that conditions were favorable for
leading to resumption
of operations.

members of each team, making a to-
tai of about one hundred and thirty
men which the Second Regiment
will lose if such a dire calamity oc-
ours. This removal of so many
trained men from the regiment
would be great blow to what is one
of the strongest regiments in the
United States. Regular army officers
have stated that the Second Regi-
ment of Iowa is the best differed
regiment in the United States, bar
ring none.
Just now, when such wave of
agitation is sweeping the country
for preparedness, it would surely be
backward step to permit trained
company of one hundred and thirty
five manly fellows to be dropped from
the sum total of trained militia, all
for the lack of an armory If the
armory is taken from this militia at
Fort Dodge, these two companies
will simply be mustered out and
cease to exist Fl. Dodge is being
watched by all the military men of
this section in regard to this mat
ter and the hope is being expressed
that the business men of the place
will not allow Ssuch disarmament
to occur, by providing a home for
them.
Plans were discussed yesterday for
an invitation shoot at the rifle range
near this city as soon as the weather
clears up. Still further plans were
for a grand military tour
nament this month of the three COM
G, and C-if the wealth
err will permit. This will be two
days event and besides the Fort
Dodge and Webster City companies,
the machine gun company of Eagle
Grove would also participate, which
would draw people from all parts of
he state.
Should there appear to be settled
weather for a few days, these plans
yill undou btedly be carried out and
more detailed account of the tour
lament given later.

Governor Clarke opened his adj
dress welcoming the visitors to the
state convention, perhaps the most
important ever held in Iowa, to con-
slider the road question by saying
there never was great people with
out great production and quick, easy
and adequate methods of transporta-
ton. He followed this line Of
thought to the era of railroads which
he said had set back the building of
other roads for the time being. But
now the era of road building, hard
surfaced roads, was coming, was in
fact already here. They will be trib-
utaries to the steel roads.

greatest loss will fall upon him

Governor Clarke quoted former
Governors Larrabee and Boies to
show that these two great men rec
ognized even in their day the neces-
sity of good roads and tried to secure
them.

LIKELY TO HASTEN THE WAR

London, Oct. 4.-The Russian
minister at Sofia has been ordered by
his government to leave the Bulgar-
ian capital if within twenty-four
hours Bulgaria does not openly break
with the central powers and dismiss
the Austro-German officers who re-
Gently arrived in that country to di-
rect the operations of King Ferdi-
nand's army.
The other powers of the quad
ripple entente are backing up Russia
in this demand, and so Bulgaria
must within a few hours decide on
continued neutrality or be consider
ed definitely committed to the CEN
trail powers.
From the Balkan news of the past
few days it is considered certain that
King Ferdinand and Premier Radios
lavoff have made their choice and
are only awaiting the completion of
mobilization to strike at Serbia and
doSlSL tlS w OpSA
the road to Constantinople, which
has been anxiously waiting for many
weeks for promised aid from the cen
trail powers.
This is the note to Bulgaria.:
"The events which are taking
place in Bulgaria at this moment
give evidence of a definite decision
of King Ferdinand's. government to
place the fate of it's country in the
hands of Germany.
"The presence of German and
Austrian officers in Bulgaria, the
concentration of troops in the zone
bordering Serbia and the extensive
financial support accepted from our
enemies by the Sofia cabinet no long
er leave any doubt as to the object
of the military preparations of Bull
garia.
"The entente powers who have at
heart the realization of the aspira-
lions of the Bulgarian people, have
on many occasions been warned any
hostile act against Serbia would be
considered as directed against them
selves. Assurances given by the
head of the Bulgarian cabinet in re-
ply to these warnings, are contra
dicted by the facts.
"The representative of Russia,
which is bound to Bulgaria by the
imperishable memory of her liberia
ton from the Turkish yoke, cannot
sanction by his presence prepara-
lions for fraticidal aggression against
Slav and allied people. The Rus
sian minister, therefore, has receiv-
ed orders to leave Bulgaria with all
the staffs of the legation and consul
ates if the Bulgarian government
does not within twenty-four hours
openly break with the enemies of
the Slav cause and of Russia, and
does not at once proceed to send
away officers belonging to armies of
states which are at war with the
entente powers"

cular yoke which fits smoothly over
the shoulders. The coat border OF
beaver alone is worth a substantial
sum and its width is matched by the
enormous muffier collar and cuffs
which might easily be an ordinary
barrel muff cut into three sections.
Fur Wraps For The Evening Also.
Most of the handsome wraps worn
at the Horse Show are of velvet or
of silk, and these beautiful wraps are
thrown over the chair backs to form
effective backgrounds for lovely gowns.
But the woman who has a brand new
fur wrap Of indubitable price will be
bound to wearjt during this important
social opportunity and no one can
blame her Ermine, according to the
authoritative furriers. is to be as fash
ionable as ever for evening wear but
the Ermine wraps have entirely new
lines-as was to be expected. A good
deal more Ermine, also. is required
this year, to build the lower part of
wrap out to I'LL the fashionable sill
houette. Rather curiously resembling
the lines Of a masculine robe de mutt
is the Ermine coat pictured, but the
model comes from an indisputahle
Paris couturier-Cheruit.n no less. The
skins Of the Ermine are arranged in
contrary directions in the upper and
lower portions Of the garment, sus-
costing a deep yoke which slopes below
the waistline. Where the sides OF the
coat meet-but do not join--are set
in long strips Of Ermine trimmed with
tails. The sleeves are in markedly
simple style and the coat fastens with
a single Ermine button on the breast.
The muller collar is Of rose-dyed fox.
Trains Have Come Again.
Under the edge Of the ermine coat
you perceive a dark satin gown--with
n train. And still another trained
evening gown Is pictured for your con-
sideration; a brilliant affair Of Chinese
blue and silver brocade with bands
OF silver galloon, brought from Doucet
to make first appearance Horse Show
week. Despite the sweep of the grace
full train from the shoulder, this gown
has quite a short skirt in front, and
this rather eccentric line produced by
short skirt and long train Is commend
ed by fashion just now. One cannot
even stretch a point and pronounce
1t pretty, but 1t is certainly chic. Hip
draperies of the brocade and silver GAL
loon spread out from the folds of the
train, but the bodice. held in by bands
Of silver braid on blue velvet, clings
to the figure as most bodices do now.

she is an ever-interesting feature of
the occasion; and this year she will be

wears the very latest notion in riding

rather startling suggestion about these

but they are really neat and quite

reason why one should not become
used to them and approve them.
