BEST AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT
North Dakota Products Take Panama
Pacific Gold Medal.

From General immigration Agent
Leedy of the Great Northern the fol-
lowing telegram has been received at
the headquarters of the North Dakota
Development League press bureau at
Grand Forks:
Great Northern railway exhibit at
Panama-Pacific exposition was award
ed gold medal for best and most at
tractive exhibits covering scenic, agri-
cultural and industrial displays"
The agricultural displays mention
ed were gathered largely from North
Dakota and it is our state products
which have scored so heavily for the
Great Northern's exhibit. North Da-
kota has made a most vivid impress
sion upon the crowds at the big fair,
and she is being recognized in the
exposition as one of the best agricul-
tural states in the Union; one which
offers probably greater opportunity
for the farmer today than any other
section of the country.

SKELETONS REVEAL
MYSTERIOUS MURDER

Workmen ~excavating under the
house neal Niagara occupied until a
few years ago by Eugene Butler, who
died in 1913 in the state hospital for
the insane, unearthed the remains of
six men, believed by the authorities
to have been murdered by Butler
while employed by him as farmhands.
The skull of each had been crushed.
Butler became violently insane nine
years ago, but had never been sus-
pected of the crimes just disclosed.
Five skeletons are those Of full
grown men the sixth is that of a
boy probably fifteen to eighteen years
of age. Each of the victims had been
killed by a blow on the head, the
skulls of all being crushed in. There
are no Identification marks.
The fact that no one was reported
missing during the period hat Butler
had been on the farm leads to the be-
lief that the victims were farm la
borers employed by him.

AMERICA FO|LS
HUERTA'S PLAN
Former President Of Mexico Is
Arrested.
RELEASED ON $4,000 BAIL
Federal Officers Had Mexican Under
Surveillance Since He Left New
York Several Days Ago.
RELEASED ON $4,000 BAIL

Ell Paso, Tex, June 2S.-General
Fictoriano Huerta, once president of
Mexico, was seized by United States
officers and, escorted by cavalrymen,
taken to Fort Bliss, charged with con-
spiracy TO incite a revolution against
a friendly country, and released on
$4,000 bonds. =
General Pascual Orozco, once a mil
itary leader in Mexico, was taken into
custody with General Huerta, similar
ly charged with violation of neutrality
laws, and released on bonds of $500.
General Huerta, who had come to
the United States several weeks ago
when he was unable to retain control
longer in Mexico City, had been under
surveillance from the time he left
New York a few days ago., ostensibly
for San Francisco. After Huerta left
Chicago, westward bound, reports be-
gan to reach Ell Paso that he was
bound for this city.
1t was rather openly announced that
the general would leave the train on
which he travelled and come to Ell
Paso from Newman, N. NJ, twenty
miles distant. This proved to be true,
but he came with military escort not
Of his choosing.
Federal officers had learned of his
plan and lack l.. Cobb, collector of
customs at Ell Paso, and Clifford Beck
ham, agent for the federal department
Of justice, took several federal officers
and twenty-five cavalrymen from Fort
Bliss and met the train at Newman.
Takes Affair in Good Humor.
The United States officers found
General Huerta at the station, accom-
panied by Orozco and Major Luis
Fuentes, a %son-in-law of Huerta. The
Mexican generals took the affair in
good honor.
The M%exicans were taken in an au-
tomobile and driven rapidly to Ell
Paso. A plan by friends of Huerta to
serenade him as he arrived brought
large crowds to the streets, but the
assemblies were hurriedly broken up
as word spread that federal soldiers
were asserting the general towards Ell
Paso. Conferences were held by Mexi-
can leaders and then a large throng
assembled near the federal building,
whittier Huerta and Orozco were
taken.
Mayor Lee, fearing that there might
be a demonstration that would start a
riot, requested that the generals be
taken to Fort Bliss until the depart
ment Of justice should indicate what
should be done with them. This re-
quest was granted and the Mexicans
were taken to the fort.
After Washington had been consult
ed charges of violation of the neutral
ity laws were made against Huerta
and Orozco. The men soon arranged
bonds and hearing was fixed for Thurs
day, July /.
General Huerta was driven to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Luis Fu-
entes. OrozCo was, taken to the home
| of friends.

Are Again Trying to Invade Rus
sian Poland.
WARSAW IS OBJECTIVE POINT
Cars Forces Are Steadily Retreatina
in Galicia Both to the North and
South of %lemberg.

London, June 2S.-The Russians are
again %retreating in Galicia, both to the
north and south of l.emGerg. and in
Poland the Germans have launched
another attack against Warsaw in the
form of a drive from the north through
PrZasnysZ.
The new blow at the Polish capita!
has been preceded by a terrific artil-
lery action. The fact is recorded by
the Russians themselves, but it is too
early to say whether it means Il Sc
rious offensive, the first clash having
developed a bayonet encounter, the
result of which neither side records.
The Germans claim that the Teuton-
ic forces have crossed the Dniester
northwest of Halicz and have driven
the Russians some miles into the hills.
Not since the var began has the Eng.
lish people been so convinced that it
will be a long one. Those who took
this view months ago were called pes
simists, but now it is generally admit
ted that the Russian armies must fight
for months under tremendous disad-
vantages and that in the meantime
the much heralded big general move
ment on the western front must be in
definitely postponed, while the en-
tehte powers thoroughly reorganize
their metho6S
While the campaign for munitions
irs Great Britain is at it's height it
must be assumed that Germany is
straining every fiber to the same end
and calling into play her inventive
skill. so as to increase the deadly
mechanisms of war to offset the in.
ovitable and terrible drain of her men.
The present consensus Of opinion
among military writer's in London is
that Germany intends further to press
her eastern victories with another bat
tering ram stroke toward Warsaw in
an endeavor to seize that city and the
whole line of the Vistula.
The line Of offensive, now directed
from the Przasnysz region, is along
the valleys of the Omulew and Adzyc
tributaries of the River Narew.

Special Attorney Employed in the
Equity Case.

~
Something Of a sensation was caus-
ed in the suit of the state of North
Dakota against the Equity Co-opera-
tive exchange when Attorney Edward
Engerud, in charge of the case for the
state, was called to the witness stand
by the defense and admitted that the
state was not paying him for his serv-
ice, but that he was paid by politi-
tians and friends of the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce.
Engerud said that among those who
contributed to his fund were John H.
Adams, editor of the Cooperative
Farmer and Manager; Fred Smith.
FORMER manager of the farmers ele-)
vator at Voltaire, N. D., who began
the first suit against the Equity and
who was ousted from the elevator for
so doing; j.. E. Greenfield, former
chamber of commerce commission
agent; Treadwell Twichell, former
speaker of the house of representa-
tives; R. S. Lewis, chairman of the
state board of control, and Others"
Just who the ''others" were, Enge-
u did not say.

 Tt is only a question of few weeks, so l am advised, until the voir will have reached the million acre-feet mark.

Nevertheless, the mllliOn-feet mark could be made one of the most beneficial advertising stunts that has ever been pulled off Could that be advertised to the world, it would center the attention of mil lions of people on the Salt River val ley.
 Now, as the spring is coming on. could not some sort of a festival or carnival be arranged, lasting over q period of several days, This season of the year is the time when the farmers are doing their heaviest buy ing, and the merchants could well afford to literally support something of this kind.

Something of the sort suggested would. if properly advertised, not only refute the unfavorable advertis- ing we received in this way, but would give us such publicity as could possibly be gained in no other way.
