FULL-FLEDGED AlRMAN

Williston, Aug. 14.-Williston may
now boast of a full-fedged birdman.
Arthur Gadreau, who has been
studying aviation at a Chicago school
under the tutelage of expert flying
machine operators, returned to the
city this week bringing with him a
Curtis biplane of the latest model
which he expects to use in flights in

VALLEY CITY DISTRIBUTES
MUCH FRUIT each YEAR

Valley City is building up great
reputation for the distribution of fresh
fruits. The Stacy Mercantile Co. re-
ports that they are now getting in a
car day, and that later, in the cool
er weather, the amount will be increas-
ed by the apple shipments.
So far most of the fruit has come
from California, but the Saturday car
was the last from California. Wash
ington fruit is now coming in, the
shipments to continue about 80 days
more, which will finish up the plum
and peach season.
Apples are beginning to come in,
the Illinois fruit being in barrels, while
the Washington apples are put up in
boxes.
The Stacy Mercantile Co. serves a
large territory in the southern part of
the state and report a fine growth over
their business of past years.
The Bearman Fruit Co also handles
fruit in car lots and has had a big
business this year. l.. Van Nurden
came up from Minneapolis Sunday
morning to assist Manager Silver with
their big trade.

AFFAIRS IN THE BALKANS
now APPROACHING CRISIS

London, Aug. 14.-Affairs in the
Balkans are approaching a crisis
While diplomatic negotiations are pro-
ceeding in an effort to induce states
still neutral to cast their lot with one
side or the other, the Central powers
have massed troops on the Balkan
frontiers. .."
Their plan, it is supposed, is to
force a way through to relieve Tur-
key, who is believed to be badly in
need of shells.
=. This concentration, which has been
followed by an artillery attack on Ser
Wan positions, is equally menace to
Roumania, which again has refused to
permit shells to pass through her ter
ritory to Turkey. The Roumanian
army already is partly modified and
four new divisions of reserves now
have been called out. Bulgaria has
as yet, made no move, while awaiting
the reply of the quadruple Entente to
her demand that Servia and Greece
concede Macedonia to her in return
for her military support This an
swer, probably, will be forthcoming
after the meeting of the Greek and
Servian parliaments next week.
While the Servians point out what
they consider the unfairness of the
Bulgarian demands they show an in
clination to make some concessions to
obtain the support Of their former ally.
Greece is more firm in her refusal, but
it is believed here there may be a
change in her policy when Former
Premied Venizelos returns to power,
although she has strong pro-German
party opposed to him, and according
to telegram from Berlin tonight,
King Constantine will offer him the
premiership only on the understand
ing that strict neutrality be maintain
ed.
With an apparent improvement Of
the Russian situation on the easterlz
front, there are renewed expressions
of confidence in the allied country
The Russians claim they are still driv>
ing the Germans back from Riga and
west of Vsing, and still are keeping
them away from the fortress of Kov-

RAY CELEBRATES ANNUAL
GRAIN PALACE FESTIVAL

Raw, Aug. 14.-The annual Grain
Palace festival held in this city is
now a matter Of history, and will be
enrolled on the annals of the city as
one of the geratest events ever held
and it will be hard for the future gen.
erations to surpass it in any line
The festival was held on a scale
which would hardly be attempted by
cities ten times the size of Ray and
was even better than first expected,
but it showed the thorough up to date
booster element of Ray that they can
pull off stunts that will attract the at
tention of the northwest to the city
and country.
In the well filled program for the
two days there was not hitch and
there was not an idle minute from
sunrise until the last dancer had
gone home.
The first day there, were fully H.
500 people in town and the crowds on
the second day were conservatively
estimated at 5000 who had come from
all parts of the northwest to take
part in the merrymaking.
Fully $50 automobiles and other
rigs were parked on almost every va
cant lot the police having roped off
the main streets to avoid accidents.
On both sides of the streets the
concession, novelty and other stands
were lined and disposing of cold
drinks, lunches and novelties. The
hotels, restaurants and other eating
places were taxed to their utmost to
accommodate the visitors.
No other shall city in the states
could have done as we'll.

TIE CITY BAKERY TURNS
OUT MUCH BREAD DAILY

An item has been going the rounds
of the state papers about bakery
that turns out 1000 loaves of bread
daily, said to be the largest output
west of Fargo.
AS matter of justice to Valley City
the Times-Record wants to tell what
Joe Iverson, of the City Bakery, is do
ing. Joe bakes 1,7O0 loaves of bread
each day except Saturday, when he
turns out $500. This is his regular
output, which goes away up on spec
ial occasions. During fair week he
baked 5000 loaves a day, and when
the Observation-Disclosures circus was
here he made 5000 loaves.
Another thing in which Valley City
excels is in the cleanliness and SAM
tary condition of the bakery. The
last inspection gave him 91.5 out of a
possible 100 points. The bakery was
practically perfect, the low grading
being in the toilet, which was temper
arily out of order
This big output of this establish
ment is easily handled by means of
the most up-to-date machinery, the
latest being the big bread mixer, which
handles 1000 loaves at time. It will
please every lady to go in and see the
shop. .a.. u-.. .

EARTH SHOOK y.
AT WILLlST0N

Williston, Aug. IA. Did Williston
and surrounding territory experience
slight earthquake shock?
This question has been uppermost
in the monds of many people and the
evidence which has been gathered
would indicate strong probability
that an earth tremor was actually felt
here.
From widely separated and authen-
tic sources have come reports of the
occurrence of the slight earthquake.
In Williston the occurrence seems to
have been noticed in a number of
homes.
George F. Carpenter reports that the
quake was felt by Mrs. Carpenter and
their daughter Mildred, as well as by
himself. Mention was made of it at
the time, but the sudden jar when it
shook the entire house was thought
to be due to some common cause.
Five blocks from the Carpenter
home, at Robert Slater's the shock
was plainly perceptible and kitchen
utensils were shaken from the, walls.
At the home of Rev. l. G. Monson,
pastor of the Lutheran church, the
shock was also felt and Mr.. Monson
seems to have been one of the first
to realize that slight earth tremor
was taking place. At the A. r. Brown
son home, William Shemorry home
and the Francis Anderson home the
shock was also noticed.
It was first considered as among
the possibilities that an explosion near
the city had caused the shock, but
later word from Trenton is to the eff.
feet that the quake was distinctly felt
at that point and many families near
Marmon report a sudden tremor
which occurred just the hour of the
occurrence at Williston.
No reports have been received OF
earthquakes or disturbances of any
kind at other points on the earth's
surface and if one occurred here as
seems likely, it was probably local in
character and Of small consequence.

.B0MSTAD RUhOR

A rumor circulated on the streets Of
Valley City Sunday morning that the
body of Mahlon Bomstad, who disap-
peared on the evening of Saturday,
Aug. Z, had been found buried under
a light covering of earth near the river
north of the city.
This rumor had it that boys fishing
up there had been drawn by the
stencil and had found the body.
A thorough investigation was at
once made by the police and they are
authority for the statement that there
was absolutely no foundation for the
rumor.

LIrCHVILLE BUSINESS
PLACES BURGLARIZED

Litchville Bulletin: Burglars oper-
ated in town last Friday night for the
first time in more than a decade. Of
course, they weren't burglars of the
real bold, bad kind, who blow up safes,
but denatured burglars of the sneak
thief variety, who rifle cash registers,
etc. ~.a-t - -'~-,- -
At the City restaurant they effected
entrance through a window on the
north side and secured about SIS in
loose change from the till. Part of the
loot was about so buffalo nickles,
which Miss Hanson had collected for
a long time and especially priced.
The general store of Wangrud &
Ourenhagen was also entered and
some three or four dollars taken from
the cash register. The meat market
was on their calling list too, but Mr..
CHASER had all the spondulix stored in
the strong box and nothing was taken.
The rear window of the Bee Hive was
attempted but their "jimmies" were
not up-to-date and they couldn't get in.
Let it also be entered on the book
of chronicles that since that the good
housewives Of Litchville have relig.
iously locked, bolted and barred the
doors every night, and all the maidens
have been getting stiff necks from
looking under the beds so much every
night.

COW DETECTIVE AIDS
IN CAPTURE OF THIEVES

Williston, Aug. 14.-Stuart Colt and
George w. Hart, both of Muddy Val
ley, have been arrested on a charge of
cattle stealing. George Hart later con-
fessed to the stealing and explained
how they took the calves. He was
taken before Judge Fisk and sentenced
to two years in the pen. He was then
paroled and is to work for H. T. Smi.
yer during the parole period. He is to
be paid for his work and part of the
money is paid over to the state. If
Hart complies with parole regulations
this money will be paid over to him at
the end of the two years. Hart is
married and this, together with the
fact that he had been evidently led
into this stealing was what got him
the parole.
Stuart Colt waived preliminary hear.
ing and was bound over to district
court. 1t is stated that he will plead
guilty as soon as the court can inform
itself as to Colts past record, as this
would have bearing on his sentence.
The calves were taken from the
pasture of P. j. Henry, one Of them
belonging to him and the other to I. o.
Hagen. In telling of the stealing Hart
said he was asked to 60 into the deal
by Colt who explained how they could
get away with calves by butchering
them and selling the meat to the mar
kets in Williston, Hart said they
were unable to catch the calves in the
pasture so they led away the mother
of one of them and both calves and
the mother of the other one followed.
They led the COW to the deserted
buildings on the George Hart farm
and got the calves into the barn. The
COWS were then driven away. The
calves were then butchered and Colt,
who borrowed a team from Wylie
Thompson on the excuse of getting
wood drove to Williston by round
about way. He sold the calves to
Wanka under the name of F. E. John
son and Mr.. Wanka Identifies Colt as
the man who sold him the calves.
The fact that the men led the moth
er of one of the calves to the barn
was what caused them to be discov-
cred so quickly. When the calves
were missed the searchers turned the
COW out and she led them right to the
Hart barn. The rest was easy. A
search there revealed the heads and
blood was found on the ground where
they were butchered. This made
them suspect Hart and the fact that
Colt had borrowed a team that night
brought him under suspicion. He said
he was going to haul a load of wood
for party up the valley, but when
asked this party said they knew moth
ing about a load Of wood. Va s.
